It has a cafe and a restaurant. My experience for breakfast was special, and I expect the rest of the meals, and there are places designated for smoking away from the restaurant. Really worth the experience. If you like the comment, put a mark 👍 and thank you

مقهى ومطعم ( المطبخ التركي ) رائع جدا والخدمة والديكور والطاولات والكراسي والقاعات المنوعه داخل المطعم ممتازة حيث يوجد قاعات للتدخين وأخرى لغير المدخنين جودة الطعام جيده جدا ( مع تحفظي بنسبة لجودة الدجاج المقلي ) الأسعار ( تعتبر مرتفعة بنسبة لصنف الحلويات ) أنصح الجميع بزيارتة وأيضا الموقع مقابل ( أبوظبي مول ) يعتبر مميز يوجد صعوبة بنسبة لمواقف السيارات ممكن التغلب على ذلك بذهاب لمواقف ( أبوظبي مول ) وثم قطع الشارع للجهة المقابلة من عند عبور المشاه من الإشارة الضوئية وهي قريبة جدا على الطعم

المكان حلو والاكل نضيف والخدمة سريعة مقارنة بمطاعم اخرى ولكن صوت الموسيقى مزعج جدا وعالي

لم أصدق جودة ولذة الطعام مدير المطعم الأستاذ رمضان يشرف على خدمة كل زبون بنفسه وفي الأخير أسعار مناسبة للغاية عطفا على جودة الطعام

المطعم رائع والاكل لذيذ 😋

Lovely place... Ramazan bey always will help u and give All his attention...

The place was nice, really had good potential and good value for price but we were served burak that was not fresh (not hot not crispy) for both the spinach and meat which wasn’t pleasant killed the experience. I tried telling the waiter to have it changed but he didn’t quiet get what I was saying. Anyway everything else was ok ...

Sultan Mediterranean Grill is a amazing!!! It taste great, the huge mix grill platter has so many things in one. From meat to kebabs and veggies and much more! I couldn't have asked for anything else. Best part about the Sultan Mediterranean grill is that you can have it with at least 5-6 friends. <br/>I visited with my friends and it was more than enough! It would totally have it again! 😍<br/>It is a must try thing whenever you are visiting Otantik next time.

Otantik is my go to place for Turkish food deliveries, but I decided to venture into the city to dine in the restaurant. The food is generally of good quality:<br/><br/>- Iskender kebab - 4/5: great value meat, delicious<br/>- Pistachio kebab - 5/5: my favourite<br/>- Turkish bread - 3/5: the bread becomes hard very quick.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the only let down for me was the number of flies in the restaurant circulating around the food. I understand it is a downtown location but I feel a lot more can done by the owners in implementing tools for fly control management (e.g. electric fly grid killing units, screens, fly repellent fans etc).

This was the worst experience of dealing with a restaurant. I had small issue with the order and I called the restaurant to check. The guy on the line was very rude and wasn't polite at all and he hang up the phone while I'm still talking. I called again and he did the same again. I went to the restaurant and return the order.<br/>أسوأ خدمة حصلت عليها في أي مطعم. إستلمت الطلب وكانت في مشكلة صغيرة. إتصلت في المطعم للإستفسار. الشخص الي الخط رد علي بكل وقاحة وقالي إنه مايتكلم عربي وسكر الخط من دون مايفهم شو المشكلة من الأساس. رجعت إتصلت مره ثانية وسكر الخ

After days of deciding where we should dine, my friends and I decided to try Otantik. I heard good reviews in the past, and pre COVID whenever I passed by Abu Dhabi mall the place was always busy. <br/><br/>We were a group of 3 but decided to order just 2 main courses ( great decision ) and a starter. The portions were so massive we had to take the leftovers home. We ordered a mini Lahmajon, half a kg Mix Grill and the Chicken Casserole. After we placed the order we were served complimentary bread with a dipping and a bowl of olives. I don’t know what was in that bread but it was definitely beyond delicious! I had to stop myself or else I would have no space left for the main courses. <br/><br/>The mix grill was a great decision. The meat was tender and juicy and the casserole had a whole lot of flavor. <br/><br/>I tried to book a table the day before but they said they don’t accept reservations in the evening. Which made sense because by 9 pm that place was packed! I think next time I’m going to go back just to have some of that bread again. Can’t believe it’s been around a while and I only just tried it. <br/><br/>Definitely recommend. 👍🏼

We have had the best experience. The ambiance is amazing and the food was super yumm. From starters to main course. Eveything was perfect. We order chicken Otantik which was perfectly cooked. The egg plant starter and the complementary bread went perfect. Sultan kebab and shawarma plate were flavorful treat for meat lovers. Satisfy the sweet tooth with the tastiest kunaffa and finish your meal with their turkish tea. It is higher on the price point but totally worth for a dinner with family or friends. They were very careful in term of proper sanitization and SOPs. Bon appetite!!!

Very nice ambience. Amazing service , especially the service by Deepak. Had an amazing day . Sheesha was been missed . Overall nice experience. =)

The mixed mezze is amazing especially if you dine in

I asked for no goat cheese as i am allergic and it came with goat cheese and the salad was not fresh!

It my everyday post-work chilling spot! I love Otantik! I go there for their shisha & food. Their food is more in the heavy side but I personally enjoy it. My usual orders:<br/>- shisha: its tasty & doesn’t give me a headache unlike most shishas in AD.<br/>- Meat & cheese pide: heavy but very good<br/>- Pepperoni & cheese pide: i love it, i prefer this mix over the meat & cheese. It’s one of the dishes i order the most. <br/>- Chicken with mushroom: good, the sauce is heavy & fatty but delicious.<br/>- Baqlawa with icecream: LOVE LOVE this dessert! Its the right amount of sweet & the icecream adds a special taste to it. Super yummy and its huge you can share it with someone else. <br/>Portion: 10/10<br/>Price: 10/10<br/>Cleanliness: 10/10<br/>Staff & serving: 9/10

Otantik is by far the best place to have Arabic food in abu Dhabi.. While everything is great.. The muhamarra is the best in the world..

Very bad customer service. Hated the environment shisha smoke everywhere even in the non smoking section. Like other people have mentioned The moment you mention zomato gold the whole attitude changes. They didn’t serve us the complimentary bread. It took a long time to receive the food. When we asked the waiter for bread he said we had to order it extra. Then we told him how come everyone else got it in beginning. Extremely disappointing and will never come back again. Rude staff attitude and needed to call them althought we ordered 3 different dishes.

Nice place but very Overcrowded. Im not happy with food, taste of lamb is really poor. I ordered mixed grills, chicken tawook was okay,but chicken kebab meat kebabs, were tasting the samw with poor smell.

If you want to avail Zomato gold offer and to have a pleasant dining experience, it's not the place for sure.!! The moment you say Zomato, the attitude changes and you will be treated differently....

I’m your loyal customer, I love your delicious food. This time I wrote cooking instruction about my allergy to Garlic, and potato was full of garlic, and they put Garlic sauce as well, I tried potato because I didn’t notice there’s Garlic, now I’m in hospital. Your staff who is receiving orders are careless!!! In addition I asked to have rice instead of french fries :(

Very delicious food, recommended

With Sudhir Panjwani<br/>Nice fun place with great location and ambiance. Very lively. Loved the balloon bread offered as complementary in the begining. Shisha is great. The veg alfredo pasta is average. They have zomato gold which is great agian. Will like to try the pizza and other Mediterranean dishes next time. Very helpful staff.

The food is good lovely chill out place. You can use zomato gold here.

I have visited the restaurant many times with friends and colleagues and I found this place never disappointed me in terms of the food, they know how to cook food to doneness. But their food has too much attitude, it will take a lot of time to come to your table.

Extremely bad service..made to wait 30 mins to talk to the manager..asst. manager has left for the day....worse part is the staff dont seem to care!<br/>staff unaware of the zomato rules and terms of using the voucher.. zero customer service.. never coming back!

Service is very bad. Manager in charge Ramza (27 Jan 2019 - 11:25 PM) is refusing to see us. Extremely bad service. He let us wait for more than half an hour and no one to finalize the bill for us. The staffs are saying he’s there. Later on the staff said he’s not there. Never coming again. #badexperience #sobad #nevercomingagain #horribleservice

The food is fine but the service is just terrible. The manager made us made wait 25 mins, refused to attend us. Full experienced ruined. Never coming again.<br/>Highly not recommended.

Very bad service , Waited for 20 minutes for bill, Manager refused to meet us as he is so busy!!

Amazing food; everything we try is always great nothing is even average, ambiance is good and staff especially management are very helpful

Great place

Zomato Gold Members - to be careful. The restaurant serves amazing food and as a group we love this place. The rating is to draw attention on the unprofessional attitude of the restaurant manager to understand Zomato Gold conditions and act accordingly. Zomato gold allows a maximum of 2 vouchers on a table of 4 people and above. However, the manager consistently insisted that it was applicable only if we took 6 dishes. The unwillingness to even look at the T&C's or even review the chat from customer care clearly mentioning that redeeming 2 vouchers was within the T&C's of Zomato Gold is just not acceptable for such a big establishment. Zomato Gold members need to be wary and exercise caution to prevent being subjected to a harrowing experience that truly spoilt our mood for the night. Leading by example is a key trait any manager must embody and its a pity such a large establishment failed on this critical aspect.

I went here with my close friend who was visiting Abu Dhabi. The staff was courteous, the food was well presented and it tasted superb.<br/><br/>Amazing ambience, great place to hangout with family and friends.

•Ambience-10/10<br/>•Food-10/10<br/>We tried their Chicken plank, #mix Pide & turkish coffee.<br/>Everything was worth the cost,If you live in Abudhabi try out this cafe and sure you will love our recommendation😄

How do you allow kids in the smoking area? And the non smoking area is open so all the smoke is coming inside. Not suitable for family. It is just a chicha place

Turkish restaurant overpriced food food tastes okay place are nice in front of very busy street default to find parking and not easy to access better to park in Abu Dhabi mall and walk to it.

Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi city, this Turkish cafe is so spacious and grand in its existence that a lot of sitting area is reserved both indoor and outdoor and that too really big with a lot of room. They serve Mediterranean and Turkish cuisines. Most of their staff members were Turkish and few Asians so there was a little communication gap with the Turkish ones but still they were so presentable and attentive to what you say. We tried their signature bread with different salads n dressings. Their bread was so good and soft that our kids too loved that one. It was so good that we asked for more when we were done with that. We had their fattousch and Mediterranean salads and I must say that was one of the best fattousch salad that I have tasted in Abu Dhabi. It was so flavorful and good that words won’t do justice. Then we had their manakesh (they had specific name for that which I have totally forgotten) and it was divine in taste. Amazingly delicious and precision in taste was ensured. We also had their chicken pizza and chicken tikka. Chicken pizza was quite different and good one. It wasn’t like the conventional pizzas that we eat normally in different cafes. It was very different and surprisingly great in taste. Their entire cafe was super clean and tidy all the time. The servers were good and polite. Their manager was hospitable and very much attentive and their chef was so good in making the best of Turkish cuisine that one can expect. They have brought a little Turkey in Abu Dhabi. They also offer sheesha if anyone is up for that. It’s a must visit place. <br/>#foodblogger #abudhabifoodblogger #foodiecouple #dubaifoodblogger #foodreviews #inabudhabi

The food is amazing!

I have been coming here for over a month since moving to AD. A nice joint, great food and really classy setup.<br/><br/>The only recommendation is to have more people like Tahseen. He is a crew supervisor that really takes care of all visitors and whenever I visit the joint while he is not around, the place really changes downwards in terms of service.<br/><br/>The Shisha crew are one of the best I have seen in town.<br/><br/>All the best

A great Turkish restaurant , it was our first experience with my family the food was so delicious ..it was a great experience very good place for families and the waiter abdula was professional and good speaker

It was my first experience at Otantik and it was a great one! I appreciated how parking was easily available even if it’s paid as well as the staff were extremely accommodating, respectful and attentive; no waiting time or reservation required. You’ve both outdoor and indoor options - the best of both worlds. From the interior to the food, Otantik has made me a happy customer. <br/><br/>We ordered the Otantik Breakfast for Two (Price: AED 85) for brunch; it was light and fulfilling. The Breakfast had a variety of items as seen in the picture: fresh and hot. The presentation was simple and impressive. The staff served us with complimentary Turkish Tea which was quite refreshing. They’ve a wide range of variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner in their menu so be rest assured. I highly recommend Otantik as they’re providing both quality and value of money to the customers. <br/><br/>For the Zomato Gold Users, buy 1 get 1 promotion is available at Otantik. Thank me later. <br/><br/>Yours truly,<br/>F.

From garden-fresh ingredients brought about by meticulous culinary skill, every course feels like a special course this is how we describe the Mediterranean restaurant Otantik Abu Dhabi<br/>Easy access location opposite to Beach Rotana.<br/>Our experience stated the moment we sit tea was served along with the menu.<br/>We ordered from the Cold starters, fattoush and mouhamara, from the hot makanik and Otantik Aubergine, huge fresh bread arrived with the starters, the fattoush salad taste so fresh and all the starters we tried was delicious.<br/>For the main the chef recommended Lamb Shank(cooked in the oven with gravy sauce and Turkish rice) and Alinazik Mediterranean Kebab(Lamb with eggplant, green and red peppers with butter sauce and yoghurt) we can say that @otantikuae mains are huge and very tasty.<br/>As for the sweets Kunafa is highly recommended one of the best in town, and the Baklava stuffed with ice cream was outstanding. @otantikuae is a must visit spot in the heart of the capital @abudhabi

Authentic Turkish/Arabic food. Love this place.

Rotten food! Used to be good ,, seems now passing rotten meat

The food quality was excellent

A wholesome experience of eating Mediterranean cuisine in the heart of Abu Dhabi.<br/>Otantik's delicacies will give you an authentic taste of Mediterranean food that you can feel good about eating.<br/>The atmosphere, so laid back and multiple sitting sections are perfect for everyone's preferences. They have an outdoor area for shisha as well as 2 separate areas indoor for smoking and non smoking.<br/>The service is quick and staff is attentive. We were quickly assisted and guided through menu and we chose our dishes as per staff recommendation.<br/>While our order was in preparation we were served puffed bread with olives and spiced butter. As it took a little longer for our order, we were approached by the restaurant manager who was so kind and polite for a little chit chat. He also offered us a complimentary Turkish Tea.<br/>We ordered Princes Kebab from the mains and it was amazing. It came hot from the oven and our server uncovered it in front of us. It was bread on the side covered with cheese chunks and centered with kebabs and baked eggplants. It was super delicious and must try.<br/>We also had Lamb Shank which was served with the soup and a rice. The meat was so tender and juicy that it melted in mouth. The garnishing of pistachios and roasted Cajuns made it more tempting. The rice were full of flavor and had lots of dry fruit in it. We loved it to the core!<br/>For dessert we had Baklava with turkish Icecream. It was too sweet for our taste but we enjoyed having this ice cream sandwich Baklava.<br/>Overall this place is so vibrant and serves a great food. Also #zomatogold is applicable.

A great turkish restaurant with very nice ambience and great staff. There is a big variety and many options on the menu.<br/><br/>Food 5* : The food is very tasty and the presentation of each plate is great also. We tried hummus, mixed grill, iskander, pide, borek, kunafa, baklava, shisha grape mint, moroccan tea and turkish tea. They offer some complimentary bread which looked and tasted great. Everything was delicious.<br/>Staff 5*: The staff is very polite and attentive.<br/>The manager Mr. Ramazan greeted us, and offered us some complimentary baklava, which was a great gesture, and we thank him for that.<br/>We will definitely recommend Otantik and for sure we will come back soon.

I have been to this place twice and we have loved their food. It was really great inside cleanliness, ambiance and waiter response. Service was good but can be improved in terms of timing. But food was so delicious that everyone loved it.

The pizza and manakish is amazing. Amazing atmosphere and service

Slow clap for this restaurant. The food is Amazing. It was beyond my expectation and standards. Not the typical restaurant. They Offer Delicious and authentic Lebanese, Turkish, Mediterranean cuisine  Plus its a Food Hygiene Rated Restaurants in Abu Dhabi. We tried the Freshly bakes Turkish bread with mezze.

A good place for family and large groups, tasty food, and great atmosphere. An experience worth trying 👌🏻

The foremost problem was to find a non residential parking spot. The staff greeted us warmly upon reaching and seated us in, what seemed like a nice corner spot. The place was extremely noisy because several families had small children who instead of being seated were running/screaming all over the place. <br/>The service was also not very good. The staff cannot speak English therefore he couldn't explain when we had a question or two about the menu. This can be quite frustrating as we then had to order without knowing what goes into the food.<br/>Luckily though the food we ordered was good tasting and was served fresh. <br/>Solely based on the food, this place surely qualifies as one of the best turkish food around. But really it's the overall experience that matters and this place failed to provide that,despite the food being quite good. Hence a three star experience with a fiver for food.

So this was one more great experiences with Turkish cuisine restaurants located at the heart of city exactly opposite to Beach rotana Abu Dhabi mall. Parking was quite challenging but food was amazing. Sheehsa made up as desserts 🍨

My favourite spot for the breakfast and not only. Their dishes are always fresh and delicious, atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. A lot of sitting areas. Option of a shisha. Highly recommend for family or friends gathering as they have large tables too<br/><br/>

This place serves some good “otantik” Turkish food. You have to try the meat Iskandar and their cheese bureks. Finish off with sweet icecream inside baqlava and a cup of tea. Service is good but staff needs some training. And they should definitely CHANGE their chairs and sofas.

We visited Otantik for lunch and were highly impressed by this place. Everything from the interiors to the food is exemplary!! We tried their Chicken Sheesh Kebab and Monalisa Chicken, both of which tasted yum and left us satisfied. The service of the staff was amazing and we would definitely recommend trying out this place for delicious Arabic food.

Food was amazing and fresh . Staff are smiling and service was nice<br/>Worth a try if you are in to Turkish food and ambiance. Do not forget to try mint Turkish tea

Simply Mouthwatering and super fulfilling food!<br/><br/>Food(5/5):<br/>The batata harra was tastefull and the shrimp casserole was so good, even if you don't like seafood you would enjoy it!<br/><br/>The Otantik chicken was soft inside and grilled to perfection from the outside, while the pepper steak(well done) and saucy enough to enjoy the flavours. On a whole, this place is simply love. ❤<br/><br/>Must visit if you are looking for a fantastic place with amazing food for Family Eid Dinners ❤<br/><br/>Money(4/5):<br/>Batata harra - AED 22<br/>Shrimp Casserole - AED 35<br/>Otantik chicken - AED 58<br/>Pepper steak - AED 80<br/>Pine tropical - AED 32<br/><br/>Service(5/5):<br/>Such a sweet and cordial staff.<br/><br/>Tip : They have #zomatogold 1+1 ❤

Amazing !! Jason was the best seriously !! He was very fast at taking out order, answered all the questions that we had efficiently and was always there when we needed anything !! the whole team was friendly and very professional!! Otantik as become one of my favourite places whether to eat or just go for a coffee and shisha !! Thank you so much

Generally been let down by the food in Abu Dhabi but this is one place that has never disappointed rather exceeded expectations! The shisha is as always awesome but as a vegetarian my food options are limited but whatever i do eat here has been amazing, i took their muhammara to dubai for my family coz I couldn’t find any better over there. And now I’m confident enough to try anything there and i did try a new dish recently (don’t know the name but I’d appreciate if you could tell me I’ll attach a picture here) and it was amazing, it was some vegetarian stew in tomato gravy served with turkish rice. I can’t help but crave for it ever since i had it. My last visit was amazing plus i forgot my jacket inside as i left and the waiter ran out to give it to me. For that I’d give a sixth star if it was there. My favorite place to go to in abu dhabi, hands down.

Had an amazing dinner at Otantik last night. As I stepped in the restaurant I was pretty impressed by how big it was . They also serve sheesha indoor as well as in their outdoor tent!<br/><br/>Started off with some refreshing peach iced teas followed by Stuffed button mushrooms which tasted heavenly! For mains we opted for the Veg casserole and Princess Kebab, presentation of which was on point! Their quantity is quite good as well. Ended our dinner the right way with some desserts, Kunafa & Creme Caramel.<br/><br/>I was honestly surprised as they had people coming in pretty late on a weekday, I guess now I why! Highly recommend this place for their great food and good service!

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! It's a miss if u never make it here to eat atleast once.. A must must must visit! We were welcomed by the staff who seated us asking if we wanted the sheesha area or the non sheesha area.. They have exclusively sheesha tent which is huge! The restaurant is absolutely huge apart from the huge sheesha tent! Time by time the restaurant was only getting filled.. Must say for a weekday there were lot of people! The food on the other hand was absolutely delicious! The complimentary bread with garlic butter I believe was finger lickin.. The portions are really good for the worth as well.. The staff was so kind enough to play with my 3year old.. And also gave him a chocolate ice cream at the end which made his day! At any point u have sweet craving come here for thier bestest bakhalwa with ice cream.. The softest bakhalwa ever! Thier vanilla milkshake was perfect combination for our meal! And our dinner was done with their Turkish tea and sesame biscuit! I can keep going on and on for this restaurant.. I am really happy with the service here.. The Manager/ Supervisor was kind enough to come and ask how the food was also if we enjoyed it.. Totally recommending the restaurant for their hospitality and food as well their ambiance! Ziyad Bin Zubair

I don’t usually give 5 stars but this one seriously deserves it for the food, the portions and the service.<br/><br/>The place was packed for a weekday. Despite that, the service was flawless. Such attentive servers.<br/><br/>We tried the Turkish bread with mezze, the Mediterranean salad and the Fattoush which we LOVEDDD. Highly recommend.<br/><br/>Not a huge fan of lamb in general (chicken & beef forever, haha), but the Pistachio Kebab with its extra crunch and the Princess Kebab with its presentation changed our minds. <br/><br/>Our favorite part was the Baklava which is so so good, make sure you order that along with the Turkish Tea.<br/><br/>Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. This has gotta be one of the best restaurants in AD. I mean, the insane crowd when we visited says it all.

Unbelievably delicious food and great service, strongly recommended. 5 stars is too little! I would rate them a million stars if possible. We tried most of their main courses and it was all excellent.

Wanted to try this place for a very long time and must say it did not disappoint at all. The food was amazing. Tried the Chicken Schnitzel , Chicken Plank along with a platter of delicious things such as Hummus, Mutabel, Baba Ganush and few more lovely things. Quality of food is excellent, a value of money place. Staff are friendly, great service too. <br/>The place also includes Shisha.

Nice customer service .<br/><br/>Great ambience inside non-smoking room .<br/><br/>Fresh prepared dishes , great quality .<br/><br/>Chicken mushroom with rice must try dish .<br/><br/>Overall tummy satisfied and will feel good :)<br/><br/>Must visit restaurant

Very comfortable sitting. Very spacious restaurant. Menu is quite rich and food is delicious. Service was attentive and quick. Only i was not very happy with baklava. Will surely visit again.

My first time here and I loved it. The service, the ambience, the food, the shisha... All excellent!!!<br/>A lil difficult to find parking tho. <br/>We ordered the chicken beyti kebab and the chicken pizza.<br/>Both were scrumptious. But the chicken pizza was definitely the best I've had in Abu Dhabi!!!

I had the most disappointing experience when I visited this place today. We went here for lunch for our Colleagues farewell. We were a group of about 15 people. We placed our orders, and about half an hour later, our orders started trickling in. An hour after we placed the order, 3 of us didn't get our food still. After following up with the waiter many times, 2 of them got their food, but my order wasn't served yet. By then it was more than an hour since I placed the order and everybody on the table had finished their plates. When I followed up with the waiter again, he told me to wait for 2 minutes (as if I was some impatient toddler heckling him for food!!), and he blamed me for placing the order at last, which was not true since all of us placed the order together as a group. Finally I cancelled my order since there was no point in getting the food since everbody had finished by then. After all, the whole point of coming with a group is to eat with the group. I was so frustrated at the callous manner in which the staff handled the situation! What annoyed me the most was not that I didn't receive the food, but the attitude of the service staff. You may have the most lip smacking food, but its of no use if your service is pathetic. And lastly, NO, I am never visiting this place again.. EVER!!

Just tried two different kinds from pida or bida which were tasty and delecious, the only thing that i dont like was the staff!! Few waiters comparing with the resturant size

The pistachio kebabs and fattoush salad here are beyond amazing. Thr adana kebab was good too. Loved this place. Very sad it's not in Dubai !<br/>

Nice place and tasty food but it’s heavy.The presentation of the complementary appetizer is nice and the taste of the butter is amazing -The price are little expensive.

This is perfect 5 star restaurant... They have amazing grills, pastas and shisha... I have been here couple of times especially for shisha and also for take away... Hygienic restaurant... Friendly staff... Service was quick... Food presentation is good... It's really worth for zomato gold users<br/>They have opened shawarma counter !!

Very nice place... The service was the USP.. the food also was good.. the pricing was very decent. Hygiene was up to the mark. one of the best places i hv been in auh. The shisha was also nice but has got room for improvement there.

Love the food at this place! High quality and tastes amazing! My favorite is the Kuzu Madfoun Tandir. A perfect dish in every way! And can be shared by two people because it has lots of delicious meat and rice and veggies. So much amazing nuts on top and melted butter. Yummy goodness. Now I'm hungry! Everything is clean and service is lovely. There is smoking and non-smoking section and I like that. Two notes to improve on. Waitress missed an order even though she was taking notes. Lack of concentration when busy too much noise from the TV and had to ask to turn it down because was very loud in a closed space and was right behind us. Those things would make the experience even more enjoyable! Thank you chef and kitchen staff for the amazing food quality. Keep it up!

The staff including the Managers/Supervisors weren’t knowledgeable of the rules of Zomato Gold membership. They have been defiant at first that since we’re using 2 Zomato Gold, they have to charge us with the first 2 highest prices in the order in which I have insisted and argued that it shouldn’t be that way.<br/><br/>I have been to several restaurants that accept Zomato Gold and this is the first time for me to encounter such. I have also been a Zomato Gold member for almost a year now, and seriously, I have been very well familiar with this membership. I had to chat with the dedicated chat support for Zomato Gold members to make sure that the same rules (from the time that I have availed of this) still apply, and the CS agent did confirm that nothing has changed.<br/><br/>I was totally disappointed with the whole crew as it appears that they were all misinformed or misguided, and unfamiliar. I believe that all of the restaurants who accept such privilege sent some staff/representatives to be fully trained, and taught on how does Zomato Gold work, but it appears that this restaurant isn’t properly guided/groomed. <br/><br/>I have tried to calmly explain everything to them the rule of making the second and fourth orders to be considered as free since we were using 2 Zomato Gold, yet, they did not immediately listen. I felt violated and offended especially when the Managers/Supervisors have been insistent that what they were doing was the right thing, and that a Zomato staff taught them that “rule”, of charging the customers of whichever has/have the highest price/s. It has offended me more when one of the Managers even told me that “it’s just for a few dirhams”, and take note that he told me that in front of other customers on the other table. It’s as if that I was trying to be bothered or do this because I wanted to have “extra discount”, but hey, I was just making it clear with you that whatever rules that Zomato Gold has, it should always be observed. I did this because I wanted to make it fair to all Zomato Gold members, that the same rules in all restaurants should be applied! If you use multiple Zomato Gold, charges should go alternating. The restaurants should always make the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, etc. orders as the complimentary dish/es. They were probably misled, but it’s not right to argue with the customers, and insist that “it’s just a few dirhams difference, why would you bother?”. That’s probably one of the most degrading, embarrassing, and exasperating remarks that I have ever heard coming from a Manager/Supervisor. They have admitted their mistakes later on, and have emphasized that it was because they were new to offer such membership discount, but still, that shouldn’t be an enough reason to embarrass your customer in front of other customers. The way you insisted, and argued to me in front of other people seemed to show that I was very wrong in all aspects, that’s really a low blow! It was resolved only when they had contacted their agent (a Zomato agent), and when I have shown to one of the Managers the chat that I had with Zomato Gold chat support. I hope that Zomato will take an action on this matter. Our experience with this restaurant has been totally horrible!

Been frequenting this restaurant for months now but never really sat down to give it a befitting review. So this review is long overdue and well deserved.<br/><br/>This restaurant has all the boxes ticked off. Amazing ambiance, impeccable service, scrumptious food, perfect sheesha and all of it at great value for money. They have an amazing lunch offer which gives you the dish of the day and a sheesha for AED 55!! <br/><br/>Our spread for the day included their lunch offer (half chicken with rice and a grape-mint  flavored sheesha), cheese borek with tzatziki sauce and a portion of hummus, and not to forget their complimentary bread. All the dishes were amazing with the freshest of ingredients cooked to perfection. A perfect harmony of flavors that hit all the right notes. Till date I haven't had a disappointing meal at Otantik. The servers are extremely attentive and always ensure that your coal is changed frequently without being asked.<br/><br/>Being located a stone's throw away from home, this place has already secured the top spot on my favorites' list!

Went for shisha mainly! <br/>The shisha was so good! Coal was getting changed on time. The tea was good and so was the coffee( didn’t click the pic) it is pocket friendly and the staff is polite. They have a very varied menu and they have zomato gold. Would def go again for the food and it will be a regular shisha hangout. <br/>Their was one issue we faced which is why the lack of stars for the rating. We asked to be seated out, since their were no tables available, the staff was putting the tables inside, outside for people. So the waiter said he has no extra chairs for now( even though there were) And in 2 mins we see another couple getting their table set up outside. That was a put off. But the place is good. And I am hoping it was the only once a type of thing!

Very nice location with delicious food. Manager was very friendly and came few times to our table....<br/>I love Turkish Food!!! Just the best in the world and this restaurant is doing an amazing job!! Thank you. Will come again...

One of the best caffe and restaurants in the area clean place very nice for families and couples,stuff are friendly ,nice manager and tasty food 😍

Great restaurant<br/>Friendly staff <br/>Delicious food<br/>Personal favorite: Otantic Soup, Avocado shake and the grilled eggplant.<br/>

we had zomato gold once we inform them there was a discussion between the staff then they came to inform us that the shrimp dish cannot be ordered as mentioned in the menu they have to get half portion which we agreed on then we ordered the lamp shoulder what we got was a dish with old hard shredded meat , this is an insult and cheating already informed the waiter he said that the chef helped us and make it shredded who asked him to help us no one knows and they did not take the zomato gold code they said it is not needed , this is really and insult and acting smart will never save cost but they will lose customers , it used to be our favorite restaurant but who will go to a place who didn’t respect and cheat their customers

All the dishes that we had ordered we found it very tasty and flavourful. The seafood soup was delicious and the slow cooked lamb shoulder was moist and flavourful. The mezze platter dips and the salad were amazing ! Also they served us with complimentary Turkish coffee and biscuits after the meal which we were happy about and thought was a really sweet gesture from their part. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Fantastic place with great food and good service. We enjoyed the turkish coffee served so fancy. The complimentary baklava was bliss. Enjoyed the ambiance also. Hukkah is also available

Loved it ... great food and service ... the concept of their breakfast is really good .... spacious.. LCDs everywhere to watch games ... shisha is great too

This place is a hidden gem - I enjoyed the food. The staff/manager were helpful in recommending what to try. A great place to go with a group of people as you can order several dishes and try them all. Due to roadworks in the area it may be difficult to access or find parking - check before you go.

I love the decor, seating & the food. I took chicken plank and latte. They open the door for the nice breeze and fresh air but unfortunately too many flies that I missed out enjoying my launch . Overall was good but the price wise is too expensive comparing to other places in town

The place has good location, space, friendly staff, quick service and generous portions. We tried the goat salad, cheese burek, beetroot hummus, stuffed mushrooms and lamb ribs with Turkish rice. <br/>Everything was tasty and made fresh. At the end, we had baklava as a surprise treat from the restaurant. very tasty too. I would definitely visit again.

This is one of those few places that checks all criteria- Good food, Amazing Shisha!!!!(like really), good seating capacity and of all ...this is a turkish delight on a budget

Loved their breakfast, very nice interior and excellent customer service however was disappointed when we were charged 12 aed each for the 2nd round of teas as other restraunts like Dolmabache offer as much tea as you want for free

Everything we ordered we find it tasty and freshly made! The lamb shoulder is obviously our favorite! Tender, moist, full of taste and makes for a very very delicious main! The Lahmacun and mezza selection with freshly baked bread is also very well done. The restaurant is very clean and has a simple and modern decor. Highly recommend it as alternative to PETEK .. will definitely come back to try their date pie!

My favourite shisha place in abu dhabi central, shisha is always good. Their pizza is just delecious. Quality and price this place is number one

Great food, the staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome. Right opposite to the Abu Dhabi mall this place surprisingly had a lot of parking space that makes it a good experience. The ambience is lovely too.

Very friendly staff, polite & attentive.<br/>It’s quite in the afternoon, easy to reach, walking distance from abudhabi mall if you don’t wish to park right outside.<br/>Were tempted to try their turkish pastries but opted for shisha & drinks.<br/>Drinks were fine, coffee was great but the shisha could be better, I ordered the grape mint & unfortunately was not a favorite.<br/>Very affordable tho.
