المطعم ممتاز و مناسب للجميع

من المطاعم الشهيرة في العاصمة الحبيبة أبوظبي حيث تخصصه الطعام الشرقي من المأكولات بلاد الشام والأسعار المعتدله ومستوى جودة الطعام جيدة جدا ومستوى النظافة جيد

المكان لا باس به. فية فرق واضح في الاسعار بين الاكل داخل المطعم. والسفري.

سيء للغايه لقد وجدت صرصور ( حشره ) في طبق السلطه !!! قمه في عدم النظافه

بو الفدا بصراحة محل اكتر من رائع وناس محترمة خصوصا الحاج صاحب المطعم رجل كله ذوق وخير ومعروف عن المكان الكرم اللي عندهم الوجبة بتبقي كبيرة والاكل نضيف بأسعار مناسبة جدا عن اماكن تانية ربنا يباركله الحاج صاحب المطعم

اسعار جميلة في متناول الجميع ولديه عروض مستمرة الكباب والشيش طاووق جيد جدا اما اللحمة ليست بالمستوى المطلوب والمقبلات ممتازة

Amazing taste

Located in the tourist club this is a gem for those labanese grill lovers.. Not a family place so we decided to order and have the food at home..<br/><br/>We order 2 kg mix grill platter which had cost us around Dhs 80+ unlike any other restaurants serving bbq, the quantity was very good and the quality amd taste was superb and not too fatty.. The mix grill bbq plater consisted of seekh kababs, mutton tikka, arayees, chicken kababs, chkn roast, hummus, toumb, mutabbel, pickle, green salad, and khubz.. The mutton chops were missing but still i wud give it a 4 for the taste and quantiy.. Food was packed hygeinically and the delivery was super quick

Very friendly staff and superb food

One of the best grills at Abu Dhabi,<br/>Tasty, great prices and amazing quality.

One of the best Arabian grill places in AbuDhabi. Hands down agreed by one and all! Love the grills, arayes and all sides, especially the spicy one! Always a favorite!

Tried their mix grill and it was amazing...prices are also good and the aroma of the food is so good and tempting...the quantity was also good enough for us overall it was nice experience ordering from this restaurant ... :)

Best mixed grill in town with pocket friendly price... Large portion of meat and sides, friendly staff. Limited dine in space, but can accommodate around 8 people. Really a hidden gem

Can get mix grill with good budget. Even for my son birthday party i ordered mix grill. Alhamdulillah it has sufficient food stuff and everyone like it.

One of the best grills for takeaway or order. Very economical, good portions. Must try in Abu Dhabi.

This place is such a hidden gem. One of the best, cheapest and delicious arabic takeaway joint for me. Everything we have tried here is absolutely amazing, specially for the price point. The mixed grill was great and so was the biryani. Huge portion and quick service!!

It's a small restaurant in the heart of Abu Dhabi city, There food is just amazing and super affordable.<br/><br/>Note: The Sitting area is very limited.

Im so glad i found this restaurant. The most affordable and tastiest grills and biriyanis . I would recommend to try this place atleast once and i assure you'd go back ! The meats are so juicy and all of their rice tooo very flavorful and delicious. The staffs are really friendly and kind. Dining area is small so almost everyone takeaway their orders. DEFINITELY WORTH IT!

This is the secret kebab house of Abu Dhabi. It is so good that my relatives from pakistan and dubai recognize this place. It is the ustaad special kabab of dubai level in Abu Dhabi

Always winner for Group lunch @ office. In our office there are different nationalities. Food selection is always the difficult task because of the preference. When it comes to Abil fida no one have objections. Everyone agrees with this place. We loved the taste of all dishes which they serves.<br/><br/>They have big platter menu with rice and meat options. You can go for mix options. They will give take aways in proper plate packings. Ideal for home and office parties. <br/><br/>They have best arabic rice and meat dishes.

82 dirhams for a 2 kg platter is a steal!<br/>best for a quick takeaway<br/>conveniently located close to Abudhabi mall<br/>extra portions at pocket friendly rates.<br/>highly recommended!

I have tasted mixed grills from many restaurants which are quite expensive, but when I heard about this joint it was quite unbelievable as the price what I heard was something unreal untill I tasted the mixed grill. Believe me it's really tasty and worth every penny. Thumbs up 👍

Best option for parties.. Very tasty food at reasonable prices! My personal favorite is thier arayees.. Dining in isn't option.. Already had it more than 4-5 times..

A great place for Arabic grills. Love the quantity, the different types of sides they give. So good.<br/>Always freshly made.<br/>They have a variety of options depending on how much you need.<br/>It's best for takeaways♡

Truly awful experience, I don't know what they do with their food, that's probably how they cut down on the prices.<br/><br/>NOT RECOMMENDED unless you want food poisoning.

<br/>After having their 2 kg grilled chicken, all of my mates including me got sick the whole night.<br/>And It has been 2 weeks since I am suffering from food poisoning.<br/>I am sure they don’t treat it right at times.<br/>Writing this review after trying it 3 times.<br/>Don’t recommend this place.

Highly recommend this place if you are a fan of Arabian/Middle Eastern food. Favorite place to order Mix Grill from. Reasonably priced and tastes good. Best for takeaway.

The only thing I don’t like is the sauce. Everything else is lovely. Though this isn’t my perfect meal nometheless somehow it will full your stomach. :) maybe delivered food is different from dine in. Hopefully we can visit the place to taste the difference. <br/><br/><br/>

Can’t believe we only spent 100aed for 2kg of mixed grill. The manager was so generous and gave us free biryani. <br/><br/>Highly recommended specially for home delivery.

Highly recommended. We used to buy from this place when we lived in Abu Dhabi. Is there any similar place available in Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman. We miss this place after we moved to Sharjah.<br/>Expecting valuable feedbacks

Its economical and taste wise also good. Tawook and cubes taste very juice with indian masala type of taste. Order icludes Appetizers. Bread quality requires little improvement.

The Mixed grill is worth every penny! The garlic sauce and salad are the perfect companions. Love this place to order in. They are pocket friendly

The food is excellent however I recommend the staff to be a bit more polite and improve their delivery service. No parking availability does is no excuse for the customer to go and collect the food from three buildings away.

Since I came to Abu Dhabi I’m ordering at least one time per week from Abil Fida<br/>Delicious grilled food & very tasty Salads<br/><br/>Clean and a great experience for Arabian foodies

From the last 3-4 years, we have been having regular take aways for their mixed grill platters, rice platters etc, whenever we have a large gathering, we have ordered upto 6kg mixed grill, along with all the sides and everytime delivered hot and on time. The biggest advantage is the price, they are so economical and take orders from 10-11am onwards. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for no fancy economical tasty take away grills!

Excellent, the grill taste is delicious and delivery on time. They have best grill food and we always love to eat their grills. Yummy and Nice.......

Heard about this place. So gave it a try!<br/>Ordered kebabs, tikka & Salad. <br/>Food was ok. <br/>Hummus, garlic sauce etc was really delicious...<br/>It is more of a takeaway place. <br/>Dining in is not a good option for females... didnt see anyone... <br/>Server was very efficient and friendly!<br/><br/>“Food is the Ingredient that binds us together”XOXO - Prachi <br/><br/>***Tap the “LIKE” icon if you read my review & find it helpful even a slight bit ***

All my Arabic friends used to order mixed grill from here.It is very yummy and they have a wide variety of food items and they used to deliver on sharp time

Nice place for take away. Reasonably priced and great taste. Kitchen place should be improved. It is too crowded during Friday lunch time, Better to avoid<br/>

*Takeaway experience review*<br/><br/>Abil Fida is your usual run of the mill Arabic restaurant that can be found in any nook and cranny of the country. However, the one thing that really stands out is their service. As you enter you will be greeted by their chirpy cashier who is always full of smiles and jokes. After placing your takeaway order, you can while away time by gulping down copious amounts of their free black tea.<br/><br/>Coming to their grill, we had ordered the one kg grill. It is the standard grill that you receive at most places. The grill platter is accompanied by a large fattoush salad, hummus, garlic paste, babganoush and a chilli paste. They also give you lots of kubbus on the side. The whole dish makes for a decent meal for 3-4 people.<br/><br/>Coming to the restaurant, the place can definitely use a face-lift as zero effort has been put into the interiors. However, if this is helping them keep their prices low, I guess some might say that its a decent trade-off. Wouldn't suggest sitting down at the restaurant for a meal if you're with family. All in all, a meal that's definitely worth your dime.

I am very much impressed with the food because it seems that the quality and quantity of arabic platters are really good .. moreover price seems to be well within the budget.<br/>For family or friends party .. it serves sufficient food with enough variety .

My friend ordered from this restaurant and I was amazed at the value for money this offered. Thus, when we moved house recently, and I needed to feed the movers, the first place I thought of was Abil Fida. <br/><br/>Ordering is fairly straightforward if you can get someone who speaks your language (in my case English).<br/><br/>Food arrived in decent time and was great. The meat and salads were well appreciated by everyone. A lot of food for the money. Excellent money saver.

Yummy food..!specially the chicken grill and their garlic toum sauce..! Really pocket friendly..!<br/>Not suitable to bring your family there as place is small but you can always take away the food and enjoy..!

Food was great but customer service is very poor. Ordered here twice for our office and it always failed to deliver the food on time. First was tolerable as it was only late for 30 minutes but today was too much. We called them around 11:00 am to order and told them that we need the food by 12:30. Around 12:40, I followed up our order but the guy who answered my call said that the order taker put 1:30 for the delivery time in our order. I insisted that it was 12:30 (because as far as I remember, our lunch break is between 12:30-1:30 & the sound of number 12 and 1 is very far from each other). But instead of apologizing, he answered in a rude manner and even threatened us to cancel the order. How rude was that? I was even calm when talking to him but he was very disrespectful and hanged up the phone. I tried calling again the restaurant to confirm if they really cancelled our order because my office-mates were already hungry but they are not answering our call. Around 1:30 pm, I asked my office-mate to follow up on my behalf and the guy from Abil Fida answered right away. He admitted that it was their fault and he told my office-mate that the driver was on his way but still we waited and waited and it came around 2:15. Never again will order in this place. NEVER.

This small quaint store serves one of the best tasting Arabic kebabs I've ever tasted! For a family dinner we ordered the 3 kg meat platter. It came with an assortment for chicken, lamb and beef kababs with condiments such as a spicy red sauce, hummus, arayes and tabouleh.<br/>Make sure you order extra hummus and salads, because we only got one plate of each condiment which seemed too little for such a huge platter.<br/>The meat is super juicy and you'll want to go for more!<br/><br/>Happy dining

GREAT place to go if you've got a BIG appetite but a not so big wallet!<br/>BEST place for Arabic food so far, in my opinion. The price you pay for the quantity and quality of the food you get is exceptional. Don't judge the place by the looks as it is small and a little congested but if you're having a party for a large group of friends, say about 10-12 people, then do go for the 3kg mixed grill. They also give complimentary black tea which is nice.

I have tried almost every dish of Abil Fida and non of them is had according to their price. This is one of the cheapest Arabic restaurant on Abu Dhabi island. I normally order their 2 kg mixgrill which i just 80 dirhams and enough for 3 pax so its very pocket friendly place. Also their Full ouzi lamb is amazing.

If you get a chance to stay in Tourist Club Area then please order from here. One of the best tasting food around that area. Had chicken grill wings, and mixed grill.

This is my favorite place for kebabs omg really tasty and you will get happy after coming from thier really good taste juice chicken kebabs <br/><br/>This place is good for take away as they have less space to sit thier

I have tried this Abil Fida food . I ordered 1 KG mixed grill, the taste was good and the price as well. But there is one thing I wish to give more attention on it which is the variety of food not that much and the decoration was not nice at all .

Food and prices are good specially kebab is very tasty but the Customer service is very poor they don’t no how to talk customer on phone very rude

One of the ancient places in the heart of Abu Dhabi. The only place that we call for any big feast as their meat is delicious and affordable. You can even give them raw meat and they will cook it for you. I ordered Ouzi meat and grilled chicken wings. Both were very delicious and juicy. He also added condiments (hummus, mutabel, garlic paste, salad and soup)<br/>The portions are big!! And the delivery came in no more than 15 minutes!! Definitely a must try!!!

Awesome grills to have @ this place.<br/>It gives u mix of chicken & mutton... hope there is fish grill also soon.<br/>Chicken grills is the best to to enjoy especially the humoos & khooboos combo

As my usual review in points .<br/>🔹️did you like the place as general ?<br/>🔸️not bad <br/>🔹️are you planning to come back ? <br/>🔸️I think so<br/>🔹️when ?<br/>🔸️I don't know <br/>🔹️how about the price ?<br/>🔸️prices are good<br/>🔹️the ambiance ?<br/>🔸️not bad, we pick and go actually<br/>🔹️staff ?<br/>🔸️not bad <br/>🔹️how was the food ?<br/>🔸️was nice, we order s 3kg Mix grill all the time.<br/>🔹️what advice you would give your friend ?<br/>🔸️I would ask him to try their food<br/>🔹️anything else you want to add ?<br/>🔸️thanks, that's it

Easy access to the place , sitting is very small , gets crowded with the take away customers. had ordered ouzy meal which was good n tender meat n salad was fresh. however they first served freezed chutney n raita which was changed upon requesting with a day old one and not fresh one.

Abil Fida serves high quality Arabian cuisine food at the most reasonable price in Abu Dhabi. <br/>The grilled chicken and meat items are juicy and delicious. Their Arayes tastes amazing and is better than other Arabian cuisine eateries I have tried. They serve their 1kg Mix Grill with 4 plates of different dips and 2 plates of different salads all at a price of 60Dhs. <br/>Their staff are really friendly however, they lack communication skills with non-arab customers as they mainly speak in arabic. The ambience is not great so I usually have my orders take-away. Im still giving them a rate of 4/5 because I’ve never seen any other restaurant serve such good food at such a reasonable rate. <br/>

Their food is great for the price they offer. And the waiting time is less too. You can order a big plate and would be sufficient to great extent for around 10 people.

Abil Fida is popular among the masses due to it's moderate pricing. Grills are their speciality and are quite good at it. Make sure you make your orders early on weekends as it tends to get really busy by 8 pm.

When it comes to mixed grill its always Abilfida.Main attraction value for money.Mostly orders 2kg mixed grill and its good.Delivery is perfectly on time.Meat grill require little more flavour and cooking.

Good food, great taste and generous servings but late delivery...... they took nearly 90 mins to deliver the order though they promised to deliver within 40 mins.

Best grills for reasonable price!! 3 kg of fresh mixed grills for just 120 Dhs!! Awesome!! And staffs are very friendly. Zahrat Lebnan Restaurant is nothing compared to this small restaurant!

Is you are looking for acceptable quality and good prices then this is the place. They are well known for their reasonable prices. I order from their occasionally! Honestly they don't serve the best quality in mixed grill but from their prices you shouldn't expect the best quality. However, their Arayes are to die for 💓

I was asked for min order value for home delivery Dhs. 65! We should have Online order for easy order process. Call attender seems to be non-friendly towards English speakers! Food is very good but only way to get it to your home is to visit personally!

Very reasonable prices with good taste<br/>I visited for a take-away order which I got in really short time<br/>Taste was good but please don't add salt on green salad<br/>Keep salt out if someone wants to add it<br/>Arab kashier was friendly<br/>Dining area is small and charcoal-smelly<br/>Generally good restaurant

A place which is pretty underrated... Their stuff is good and is worth every single penny. Would just hope that they add a family section as well.

Definetly not the best grills I have tasted, but it's definetly value for money. You pay 60 dirhams to get one kilo of mixed grills with all the compliments and the condiments <br/>The taste is very average, and the quality of the meat is mediocre. <br/>Recommended if you need some cheap grills

Eating at Abil Fida is an old habit for me. When it comes affordability when you have too many friends or family members, I opt for this restaurant because they have an offer for 3 kg mixed grill @ just 120 AED, which is a good bargain.<br/><br/>It's a small restaurant. We usually do takeouts. <br/><br/>Positive:<br/>Friendly staff (although white arabs, usually they are arrogant to Indians).<br/>Very quick orders as they cook / grill all the time.<br/><br/>Negative:<br/>Not the best quality<br/>No seating space for family.

This place is one of the best BBQ in AD...<br/><br/>Taste is so consistant...<br/>Presentation is good..<br/>Freshness is amazing..<br/><br/>Only issue is service n attitude of the staff.

The best thing of this restaurant is the mix grill...Too good if you have many members. Don't know about restaurant dine in. Only drawback is they don't deliver

Out of all the Arabic BBQ in UAE, so far the best one I've had. The food is always fresh and tasty. The platter comes with different tasty condiments. The only downside I can say is that dine in facility is limited to 6 people and you have to pay extra 20 aed if you choose to dine in

Does anyone believe that my order is canceled because the delivery might not find a parking?! That is the weirdest excuse I have ever face !!!! BIG SHAME

Very good Food , Very good price , no place for family to dine in but excellent for takeaway , highly recommend , Chicken  , meat , rice , salads all are great

Excellent food, excellent sides, excellent presentation, excellent quantity and excellent price (very reasonable) . Love their food and have ordered more than a dozen time. The only difficulty i faced was at the time of ordering as the staff does not speak English fluently but if you know Arabic you are sorted.

Best place in town to get the BBQ from. Ideal way is to get the take away as the sitting area is very small with no privacy. They also charge less if you take away. Good strategy on their part. I like the mixed grill which has so many things. Their humus is one of the best I have tasted. The salad is fresh and comes with crispy bits on top. Although I don’t like the red bits they put on salad that kills its taste for me. They give too much bread which you may want to tell them to avoid in order not to waste food.<br/><br/>Excellent choice for BBQ and not heavy on the pocket

Absolutely thankful for Abil Fida's existence in the two locations Im at most of the time (TCA and Khaldiya), the service is great I usually call and pick up my food 20-40 minutes later. Food is yummy and great for value. Definitely recommend the two kilos platter for a three adults and two kids, it comes with hummus, salads, bread and lahm b ajeen, we were never able to to eat it all.

hey this is good place for take aways. prices are affordable and food have generous serving. i like the grilled chicken very delicious. highly recommended for low budget diner but with great food quality.

Very good restaurant. Fresh ,clean and delicious food. Very healthy also. Its my favorite restaurant in Abu Dhabi. ................................

Whenever I call to place an order they refuse to deliver, even though I was told before that they deliver meals above 60 dirhams. They tend to be rude and on different occasions they hang up the phone before my order is placed.<br/>Very rude and unprofessional. Will never order food from this restaurant.

Abi Al fida could be easily missed because it's tucked into the inside a little away from the main road. I wouldn't say the food is great as far as taste is concerned..but the prices are economical to feed a huge crowd with 3kgs mixed grill at just AED 120 accompanied by fattoush, arayes, hummus, moutabel and muhammara! The rice variety they serve is not bad either.. I would only buy from here for the price..but not taste..!

Was in TCA and the family wanted me to pick up dinner. <br/><br/>Browsing Zomato came across Abil Fida which was just around the corner and had a great rating. <br/><br/>Ordered one KG mixed grill and a grilled chicken. It was chaotic at the place but they had the correct order for me ready in ten minutes <br/><br/>Both the chicken and mix grill were pretty good and there was a huge quantity of bread, different dips and salad as well. <br/><br/>Great value for money at AED 60 for a kg of mix grill and AED 30 for a chicken easily enough for five to six people. <br/> <br/>I'd have preferred a bit more seasoning and less bread as they do give you way too much. <br/><br/>Highly recommended if you are looking for something s bit different than the usual Arabic options.

This is an amazing place.. they have one of the best mix grill platters i have ever had.. its so juicy n succulent.. every peice is well cooked.. its a small place coz dey have a lot of take away customers.. the condiments are grt too.. n wat to say abt their prices.. u wont believe its so cheap.. i mean its just an ideal place to go if u wanna hog..

AMAZING FOOD, the food is just deliciously juicy juicy. Its' finger lickin' good. I love their mixed grill. Its just a bit too much yummy. They do not have a good seating area, we usually take parcel from here. But the mixed grill is really worth the money.

A takeaway joint offering generous and pocket friendly servings of Arabic style biryani and mix grills. Ideal for large groups and most orders come in the large Arabic style round serving trays.

Liked the idea of serving the mix grill in the bigg platter... Good for family meet ups... The appetizers were really good... Among the mix grilll loved the kababs. the chicken tikka and the arayees...

A very tasty Lebanese food restaurant. <br/>They're grills are amazing. Also there prices are very low. <br/>One set back is that they do not have a space for dine in. But there packing is amazing. <br/>Definetly recommended for all the mixed grills lovers.

This restaurant have only few seats for dine in. You will see lots of takeaway. Most of the times we order from here for office parties and parties at home . They give you good Grill. Food is very tasty and very economical.

We went here earlier for dinner and liked it a lot! Staff were friendly and accomodating, and food was too plently for the price you pay. So we ordered an all meat set which comes with 3 kinds of sauce, a salad, and a basketful of bread. The meats were tasty as well as the sauce - really good!<br/><br/>We'll come back here for sure!

Perhaps the most affordable yet yummy grill joint in the entire United Arab Emirates. HUGE quantity and decent quality. Highly recommended for mixed grills.

Ive never missed a chance to grab food from this spot. Simply perfect. I had ordered a 1kg mixed grill along with my friends. We just couldnt stop praising the food. From the garlic paste, humus, salad, arayes to the grilled item. Just mouth watering good. Donot miss a chance to grab a bite from here whenever m in Abu dhabi

I visited this place few weeks ago for a lunch. Before ordering my food, the smell of the garbage at the restaurant entrance and inside was very strong and unbearable. Despite the rating, the negligence of cleanness smashed all the expectations I have had.

I knew this place for so long until yesterday when I made my order. <br/>I order 2kg of grills and some rice. <br/>What we are is only the rice because of how bad the grills were!!! <br/>I was surprised!! They tasted so bad and as if it was not freshly grilled 😷😷 !! <br/>It was our Iftar 😰💔 😣 and we couldn't eat much of it. <br/><br/>

Well for mixed grills this is cost effective and tasty Arabic grills - now they have become too stingy as quantity is very less.Back in 2009 if we order 3 kilos there would be 3 big plates of quantities.Now it's reduced to 1/3 of old quality .Good place to recommend any one got grills.A place to go whenever craving for grills

Great taste and portion also very pocket friendly. Try the 3KG mix grill or the arayes plate which is my favorite personally. Also appetizers are one of the best!

The mixed grill from here is the cheapest but also one of the best available in Abu Dhabi. The Mutton and the Spicy sauce is my favorite. The only issue is that if you don't know Arabic then it's a bit difficult to explain to them the location. I have ordered from here already 4 times and I definitely will order again due to such tasty food.

So, I finally did it -- made my first home-delivery food order. And what a good way to start something, as Abel Fida in the Tourist Club area did not disappoint.<br/><br/>We were going to have a pool party for more than 10 guests, and I did not feel like cooking, nor did I have the time as I wanted to go watch 'Piku' (I love Deepika!) yesterday afternoon with my hubby, which, by the way, is a funny, yet touching movie on the relationship between a daughter and her widower father. <br/><br/>Ok, back to Abel Fida: the gentleman who delivered the food actually came earlier than expected, and the food he brought was hot from the grill. I had ordered the 2kg Big Plate Mix Grill + appetisers, which consisted of pickles,  green salad, hummus, garlic paste, bread, and a couple of others which I don't know what their names are. One was made with eggplant/aubergine, and the other was a spicy red paste. My hubby really liked the grilled onions. :)<br/><br/>The delivery came with a delivery charge of aed5, and I gave the delivery man another aed 5 as a tip. I think it was a total of aed90 very well spent! Will definitely order from Abel Fida again.

If you are looking for mixed grill and khabsa..... This is the place to order from....its better to have it home delivered...decent pricing and real good taste...no complaints at all...its just right...

Not your traditional Arabic restaurant, got a small place to dine, more of take away restraunt. If your looking for value for money option, this restraunt is what will appear in many ppls mind. Their kabsa is nice, their grill, specially their arayees is just superb!

Excellent Syrian cuisine .<br/>Recommended for Abu Dhabi Expats<br/>You can try the 2 Kilogram BarbQ that can feed 5 people no kidding<br/>Also try the Kebba pan fried .
