We ordered the chicken quesadillas and they were really good. Quantity was decent. But it was honestly really pricey.
The Cabana beach bar and grill is finally able to open again The food , service and ambiance is still as outstanding as it was when we last were able to visit many months ago! Having only ventured to a very small number of places since lockdown eased I have to say Cabana is the one that I can see is taking the guidelines to perfection. All the safety practices are in place but most importantly they are embedded and being followed perfectly Even in the unbearable 40 plus degree heat the staff are still delivering the best service which is what gives Cabana their 5 stars even in this time of challenge
Visited Cabana the other day with my girlfriend and found it very exquisite! great location and very warm feeling. The cocktails at the bar was the best that we had during our vacation.. special thanks to the bar team (Vishnu, don't remember everyone's name). I definitely recommend this venue.
Cabana is the most wonderful place to be on a nice evening. It's right on the beach. The staff is just a dream... They are so sweet and courteous and go out of their way to make sure you're having a great time! I've been there twice and it's already one of my favourite places in the city. It's the best place to go relax on an evening, have a couple of drinks, just have a nice chat with your partner/ friends/ family. Highly recommended.
Nicely located in nation riviera beach club facing the beach, perfect views with friendly staff. Menu is very limited and choose less.. We ordered beef burger and chicken burger. Both were average. In beef burger the bun is double size the beef which annoying.
The setting of this place is so beautiful and peaceful. It is literally on the beach and we came here to have dinner with a good view of the national day fireworks. We did expect it to be somewhat pricey, being the St. Regis but we also expected high quality food and service. The food was okay, not great! Nothing special and nothing to remember. The taste wasn't wow at all. My partner had the beef brew burger and the beef was tough and dry because it was over cooked, he asked for medium to well. I had the chicken burger and it was good but not great. I don't really have much to say about it. The portions were small for the price. The waiters weren't great either, they didn't seem to be well strained and there was no structure on their serving methods. However, there was a lady manager who was extremely helpful and attentive - we didn't get her name unfortunately, but she was very accommodating and went out of her way to make us happy and comfortable. She certainly put the guest first and has a passion for her industry which shows, as she certainly treated every guest with care, even though they were a lot busier than usual, being national day.
We were staying at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, and guests of the hotel have complementary access to the beach club across the street from it, Nation Riviera; there’s even a glamorous (yes, glamorous) underground tunnel that leads you straight from the hotel to the beach club!
After a beautiful sunny afternoon on the beach at Nation Riviera Club, we headed to Cabana Bar & Grill. The restaurant is nestled perfectly in between the pool and the private beach area. While it may seem more like a drinks place, it has a wonderful menu with really exquisite burgers, salads, fresh ceviches and even a good selection of desserts.
My husband, baby and I were seated and presented with menus. After having a quick look through the menu, I could see that they really do have the perfect selection of “beach food.” We gave them our orders and soon we were presented with our drinks.
For drinks, we ordered the virgin Pina Colada, and the Aqua Fresca. The Pina Colada was perfectly on point, and the Aqua Fresca was a refreshing blend of watermelon and peach– two of my favorite fruits in one drink!
We shared a starter, which was a Shrimp and Lobster Ceviche. We requested that it be made with avocados and pico di gallo and it came out exactly as we wanted. It also comes with a side of tortilla chips, and even our little Khalifa (AKA the pickiest eater ever) loved it!
For mains, I kept with the beach-theme and ordered their Jumbo Prawn Burger, which was an amazing burger to say the least. The size is just perfect to be a filling meal, but also not too much. The black bread gives it an interesting twist, and makes it all the more appealing. It’s made of very well-seasoned, perfectly cooked large prawns. I’m not a big fan of pickles, so I requested that they be replaced with caramelized onions, and it brought all the flavors together so nicely.
I guess my husband was going for a post-beach food coma, because he ordered the Goodnight Good Cause Burger. This burger is the ultimate surf and turf burger. Along with great quality minced Angus beef, it also has jumbo prawns. The flavors of it are really well-balanced out with the sweetness of caramelized onions and the heat from chunky jalapeño slices, and there is also spice from the hickory smoked BBQ sauce.
All of this flavor is cased in a large, fluffy focaccia bun. Its the big dog. The mother of all burgers. And after having a bite of it, I can say that it was delicious! My husband devoured it all, and after about an hour or so had to drink a considerable amount of coffee to keep himself awake. I would highly recommend that you free up the rest of your day before having this!
We didn’t have an inch of room left in our stomachs for dessert, so we’ll definitely have to come back some other time to try them.

Worth Trying?: Cabana is perfect for lazy afternoons after the beach, but also really great for quick lunch stopovers.
I went to Cabana for their New Year's Day Beach BBQ. We used an Entertainer voucher and got beach and pool access included.
I was impressed with the setup of the lunch. There were individual stations where all the food was made to order. While the pasta station was initially enticing, I was disappointed with both the empanada and ravioli I tried. Moving on to the sandwich station, the mini beef burger was tasty and the fries were perfect. My friend ordered a pulled brisket sandwich that tasted like pure salt. They definitely need to rework that dish as it was inedible. Fish and chips were decent.
There were to stations with grilled beef, lamb, and chicken. I'd say these dishes were all pretty good. Dessert was....well, it was brunch dessert. I'm never overly impressed with those. I was really surprised that there was no salad station and only an option for a small beetroot salad at one of the grills. I think that it was definitely missing from the spread and would have made the meal seem complete.
I give this BBQ a four because of the nice presentation and the included access to the beach and pool. However, being totally honest, had I paid 300dhs without a voucher just for myself, I think I'd have been quite upset.
