Excellent service with Hygine protocol were followed, briyani was more on masala and oily. Veg Manchuria was really nice.
A wonderful combination of murgh malai kabab, chicken tikka, fish tikka, tandoori chicken and mutton seekh kabab with good taste...
Nihal food is one of best when it comes to quality and amazing Indian flavours.
Try their roomali roti, I Can say it is one of the best in Abu Dhabi.
ordered peshwari chicken curry, it’s a garam masala flavoured tomato curry topped with an omelette. it’s Tasty and not oily at all.
What else does someone want! Simple tasty soul food - roti and chicken then Nihal is the go to place.
While ordering keep in mind, you should keep minimum of 60 minutes of time in hand.
Sharat and the entire Nihal team has always given us the best service whether it is dine in or delivery. Food is always amazing and staff are always happy to assist you. One of my favorite Indian restaurants in the city.
I have been ordering from Nihal for around two years now and the food was never less than fantastic. I always order butter chicken, butter naan & rice. The chicken is super fresh, tender and flavorful, butter naan & rice fresh & taste amazing.
The portion sizes are great & the customer service provided by Mr. Abishek is superb. Very recommended.
One of the places that serve good North India, Mughlai food in Abu Dhabi. I have ordered and dine in a quite a few times from this restaurant.
Punjabi Dum Aloo a must try, this is something that we order almost every single time. Their chicken gravy dishes, soups, daal varieties do not disappoint as well. The cherry on the Cake is you get discount with FAB and ADCB cards.
P.S. The discount was applicable for dine in. I have
not dine in since the lockdown. So please check with the restaurant on current offers before assuming.
Nihal serves delicious Indian Food and its staff is courteous
"Excellent and Great service"The food was great and the menu gives a lot of delicious surprises. The service was brilliant and very friendly. Chicken pieces are marinated well and cooked properly. The fish taste was awesome and extraordinary and the pieces are soft, mouthwatering. Please try this Fish Hariyali Tikka. Chicken Sunehri Tikka - 5/5
Fish Hariyali Tikka - 5/5
Chicken Tikka - 5/5
Chicken Lollypop - 5/5
Chicken Manchow Soup - 4/5
We will order and come back to the restaurant again!
Another place from where we order quite often, Nihal serves good veg dishes (Gobi Manchurian, veg angara, malai kofta etc).
The price is reasonable and delivery is prompt.
Delicious north Indian curries from Nihal. Tried the lamb bhuna and okra dopiaza, would definitely recommend. Full of flavour and perfect balance of gravy. I liked that the food wasn't oily like many Indian places in Abu Dhabi.
There is still room for improvement in some areas: improved packaging, better tandoori rotis and from a hygiene point of view, please do not put loose plastic cutlery in the bag without a seal.
Drums of Heaven and Chicken Lollipop is what we relished from this Restaurant.... ordered directly from the zomato app.
The order reached us before the time indicated.
We loved both the dishes, perfect spice for the Drums of Heaven and The Lollipops were tasty and crispy,which came along with a separate dip.
5/5 for the taste,
Speedy delivery
And quantity of food
Food is very tasty . It’s always been my go to place whether its lunch or dinner . I lover every dishes in nihal. Staff is very friendly . Only drawback is they dont keep wheat chapati only tandoor roti rest all is good
Service and food is Good ..But Please change the packaging...its risky and feel unsafe when you see open packages during delivery ..thanks .. happy to see the Management took the concern seriously.!!!
For my daughter's 1st birthday we had ordered food for 35 people and we loved the food. Chicken tawa, chicken Manchurian, Panner Manchurian and there other items were amazing alone with dessert (Carrot Halwa and Gulab Jamun) at the end. The staff was reliable and polite and didn't give chance to complain. End of the story the food was great.
Superb Chicken tikka masala and well spiced up and barbecued chicken tandoori!!
Dal makhani is really good here !!
Excellent food for vegetarian and non vegetarian
This restaurant is a fraud. I ordered lamb chops as described on Zomato, but they delivered lamb kebabs. Big difference. I spoke to the manager of the restaurant and he blamed the description on Zomato and refused to send a replacement.
This has to be one of the best restaurants around absolutely fantastic food all fresh ...... hot and tasty ..... great service too
I’ll give 5 star for this restaurant coz every single time I visit this place with my friend and family it has never disappointed . I visited yesterday as well , ordered their newly introduced soup ( forgot the name ) was freshly made with corn , succulent chicken it was nice piping hot and spicy .Not everyone in UAE can do a good chicken lollipop but this place reminds me of the typical Bombay style with the Schezwan sauce which I crave ever since I left Bombay .
We ordered for chicken , Prawn and Hyderabadi biryani which was full of flavor and right balance of spices.
Rasmalai was good and spongy but the milk lacked something .
The servers in Nihal are amazing , they anticipate your needs and spot on .
This is a great restaurant which knows just exactly how to make Dal Khichdi, it was yumm. Plus please try this tandoori chicken it’s one of the best if your like masala. Definitely recommended.
Butter chicken and chicken lollipop it really a hit between my non Indian friends, V order more of them when there is a celebration.
Great food and service. The food quality and quantity justifies its cost. The service offered is excellent from welcoming the customers to serving them.
New in town n craving for Indian food. This is the place.. Average ambiance but the food is good.. Tadoor delicacies are awesome..dal makhani is a must try
Good food, quick service and very accommodating staff, we tried chicken patiala, lamb korma along with assorted bread basket was great chicken gravy nicely cooked and on top of it egg omelet, lamb was very tender and juicy, overall my experience was simply amazing. 👍👍👍👍👍Highly recommended😊
A decent restaurant with decent price point. Been for lunch but not so busy, food was okay and service was good enough. Restaurant is bit older but no concern.
I have only ordered take away and delivery, but they have a nice and extensive menu. It is one of my favorite, if not my favorite Indian restaurant in Abu Dhabi. I have ordered their paneer dishes with naan in gravy items, and their mutton shekh kabab with steamed white rice and hummus in tandoori items. All of the items I have had are amazingly fresh, spiced perfectly and well presented in neat packaging. Their delivery is also timely and professional. My favorite items are the paneer tikka masala (off menu, but available if you ask), and their hummus (which I eat with mutton kabab). The hummus is absolutely decadent, and hands down the best in Abu Dhabi. I also love how I can order 15 minutes before closing time, and still get food delivered without a fuss. Keep up the great work, Nihal!
Nice Resturant in Good Location
Price is little high as compared to Quality
but overall nice experience
Panner tikka nice taste
Naan is nice and soft
I tried chicken tikka akbari, bhuna mutton, beef biryani. Tikka was just melt in the mouth and delicious topped with cheese. Bhuna mutton is also a must try along with butter naan. Beef biryani was good but could be better. Overall a nice experience with good value for money as all the dishes are reasonably priced.
We ordered butter chicken, butter nan and veg friend rice..the butter chicken and Nan were just very tasty bt fried rice was good ,nothing special..
Went in here for a quick lunch. They have a lot of variety and the staff is extremely courteous and helpful. Tried Indian food here and it tasted pretty decent. They also had Gajar ka Halwa & it was nice too. Didn’t expect to get good ones here in UAE but these guys were close!😊 Look forward to trying some more stuff as well.
Lovely food,amazing staff especially Mr Ibrahim and aakash were very attentive even during the busy period.Love their prawn tandoori and fish tandoori.Dal is worth trying.Platter is good enough for 2 people.Visited with a group of 5 .Quite reasonably priced as well.Have visited multiple times and will continue to do so.
One of the most reasonable places to eat Indian food from. Everything on their menu tastes so good. We ordered kebabs as starters, they were perfectly done and the flavor was mind blowing. We personally love their crispy chicken. True to it’s name, it’s so crunchy and delicious. We promise you’re going to love their food and keep coming back for more.

I am feeling under the weather and decided to order lunch to the nearest resto i can find. Nihal pop out and have ordered lentil soup and chicken tandoori. The soup was good but would have appreciate it more if there's a little texture to it. Chicken tandoori on the other hand was incredibly moist and tender - really good. Will definitely order again soon.
Had been here for a dinner with my family. It was a wonderful dinner. The food and ambiance. The people here are very nice. One of the very old restaurants in the emirate. We ordered sweet corn soup, Chicken angara and a roti basket. You can try all type of tandoori breads in a roti basket.
Nihal is one of the Restaurants which serves a delicious Indian cuisine in Abu Dhabi.. Amazing Food, Great Experience with Joyful Staffs.. Ambiance is good with Family Cabins and the Service is upto the Mark.. Managers are very Helpful and same with the order takers..
Overall Excellent!!!
Must Try : Paneer Makhni, Dal Tadka, Masala Papad..
Strongly Recommend..
One of my favorite restuarant. Normally we do dine in.. Usually we order chicken lollipop, Drums of Heaven, Fired Balls.. Biriyani...
All food are super tasty n ofcourse the staffs are very nice. I missed to check the name of the staff. Attitude towards us are excellent.. I suggest my friends to visit here for tasty Indian food n Chinese cuisines.
First got hooked on Nihal when I lived in Abu Dhabi in 2012/13. Been here for work for last 2 months and wanted to sample their food again. Initially I had thought they had closed down, but delighted they had expanded and moved to bigger premises. Curry and Chinese both exceptionally nice. Unfortunately I am back down to Dubai next week so will need to get my fix again before I go. The only thing I would recommend is they introduce Prawn Crackers on the Chinese menu and maybe a discount for regular customers as prices are a tad high compared to elsewhere. Hence not 5/5
Decided to try Nihal for delivery. The food came exactly on time. We ordered chicken tikka masala, shrimp curry in coconut sauce and tandouri chicken pieces. Everything was delicious and we appreciated the papadum and yogurt mint dip that were sent too (as if we were at the restaurant). We’ll definitely order from this restaurant again .
I have ordered Rumaal Rotti and Butter Chicken from here.Both were Awesome.They delivered the order on time and the quality and quantity was good.
I've been eating here for about 8 years, I'm still not tired of it. This is my go-to place for Indian, Indo-Chinese and they never disappoint. Their food is consistently good, order anything that interests you and you won't be disappointed.
Their ambiance is okay, but it's compensated by their quality food. They provide valet parking too.
Been looking for the best Indian takeaway for over a year, finally found it. The food was exceptional, this is the only place we have found onion bhaji on the menu, delicious. Will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend.
This is by fas the best butter chicken I have tasted in Abu Dhabi. We always order it together with garlic naan bread and boom! We are in heaven!!! They also have nice Chinese menu and last time we ordered mixed fried rice and it came with a generous amount of chicken and shrimps. The service is astounding and staff are very attentive. I love Nihal!
Nihal is still one of my favorite restaurants for Indo-Chinese food, although their taste is not as good as before. We generally order Chicken Schezwan Fried Rice, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Lollipop and Chicken Chilly - sometimes dry and sometimes gravy.
For indian food here, their Egg Masala/Curry is one of the best. Their Chicken tandoori is also good
BEST Butter Chicken I have ever had.
Absolutely LOVE it. Literally 10/10.
We order it alot at work and the delivery time is fine.
Also tried their Chicken Biryani. The best part is it is not spicy but full of flavor.
Though I do feel it could be slightly spicy.
The butter chicken is SO good that I always end up ordering that rather than even trying anything else.
Definitely looking forward to try more items from the menu.
Best place for Indian food. Staff is friendly. Decently priced. Everything on their menu is so good with a good portion size. They also organize Buffets during Ramadan and New Years at an affordable price with a wide spread.
- Love this Indian Restaurant...
- Friendly stuff and good quality food make us regular customer here...
- Each Stuff are very Welcoming
- My favourite dish is semi dry Shezwan Veg Ball 👌👌👌
- This time we order tandoori Roti, Mutton, Same Shezwan Veg Ball and Dum Aloo
-I'll recomend this place to Visit
The butter chicken from Nihal reminded us of the best of New Delhi in Abu Dhabi. Heavily recommended. Will keep ordering
Keep up the good work !
For a non-Indian, me and my family love this place. Food is great! Of course, we have no basis to compare it to but to us, it is the best. Considering also the price point, it's budget friendly.
We will actually be visiting tonight to let our friends from home try Indian food. :)
Clean and quality food. rates little high though. management can see on that. The food is top class and good quantity provided. highly recommended! Good luck!
One of the finest indian restaurant... been there two times and looking forward to go there again...worth the money...will recommend this restaurant if anybody asked me for an Indian restaurant in Abu dhabi....
came back after 1 months. The food was amazing as always and the service was excellent . The personal attention was the highlight. saurabh was great
We have to dine here for their Ramadan buffet every year! They are very accommodating and friendly..esp with our large groups. Have liked everything we've had..never dissapointed!
💯biryani was awesome good portion size enough for two people .delivery on time 😍👍i will come to restaurant to try other menu as well. Good work team
Great food, fast delivery. Highly recommended: their vegetarian hyderabad briyani, butter naan and lamb buna (please pardon me if I got the name wrong!) Overall : 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nihal is a exception restaurant, i been ordering from past so many years.
Today had ordered catering from them for my kids birthday. Food was awesome, staff is exceptional.
All guests Asians , Europeans went crazy over food.
Dal Makhni, Paneer Kadai, Chicken Chengezi , Mutton Rogan josh wr loved by all.
Thanks Nihal for great service!!!!
We cant find better value for money Restaurant in Abu Dhabi. (That is why 5*)
Spl thanks To Ram..
I really love food from this restaurant.. We usually order from here not just being near to our home, but because of the delicious dishes delivered hot from their kitchen.... I fully recommend to have chicken dishes from here.. particularly Mix grill and kababs....
Today we had a party in our office and the food that was served from Nihal was just excellent!! The menu that they had provided catered to the different nationality in our office. All staff from different nationality relished the food and have requested that now onwards for the parties food should be ordered from Nihal. Mr Abhishek who organised the entire party for us did an excellent job and ensured that the entire set up was ready as per the expected time. Staff from Nihal are very courteous and well behaved. It was a pleasure dealing with this restaurant and I am very sure that this relationship will go on for a very long time.
The buffet service provided was good and efficient including Abhishek (the manager) provided excellent customer service . The food was awesome -both veg and non-veg. Highly recommended!
Value for money. Amazing Indian restaurant.
Chicken grill platter, mutton bhuna ghost,chicken pattiAlla, chicken angaara and bread basket is wat we ordered. Everything was really good.best part about the restaurant is the valet parking.
They stopped the crying of the kid by giving a lolipop as well
اكل ممتاز وسعر جدا ممتاز انصح الجميع فيه
طعام جميل ومناسب بس السعر غالي والبرياني ليس لذيذ
