1st time I entered in this restaurant since a long time it was in my list few days before I visit this restaurant I was already full with sea food before I entered in this restaurant (checkout my previous review) restaurant located near sea but you can see only u can feel. Best thing in this restaurant what I feel in short time serves a boy with smiles standing on the door for welcome guests not only for me he was always there till I left. Shisha was very smooth n soft. I enjoyed my visit soon I will post reviews for food because this time I didn't order anything. So c u soon for food.

The salad bar , main courses , desert bar , fruits all were excellent prepared, distributed, cooked.
The shesha also was good.

I got the barbecued Hamour fish. It was splendid. Great spices and just perfectly cooked. It just melted in my mouth. Very impressed with their food and their service! I would recommend anyone to this restaurant 😬

The place is located at the end of Mina. The the Alfredo Pasta was very good. The Shisha is nice. Good outdoor open sitting near the waters. Will enjoy more in pleasant weathers and ample of sitting arrangement inside as well in adverse climate.

Old but gold! This place remains one of the most reliable restaurants in AD.

Great food and shisha.

Fresh juices, vegetables and fruits are of high quality.

Don’t expect a fancy seating or an art deco style focus on food, drinks and shisha.

My first visit to Casttello was during the holy month the of Ramadan for their Iftar buffet, and that's when I fell head over heels for this place. My subsequent visit last week confirmed that they are truly committed to providing outstanding service along with some of the most delicious food in colossal portions at very affordable prices. Chicken Caesar Salad was just the right amount of creamy and crisp, and it was big enough to share between two of us before our main dishes arrived, although a salad lover could easily enjoy this as a meal by itself! Fillet algero put me in a blissful food coma with two huge fillets of well done beef steak, saucy mushrooms, crunchy vegetables and roasted baby potatoes. Grilled salmon was also fresh and grilled to perfection, served with shrimps and veggies and a yummy white sauce. The location with a view of the sea adds to the allure of Casttello - a must visit for a meal you won't forget in a hurry.

We came here the first time in may. We sit out side and we order the tipical Mezza, kebab, soup and juices. We fall in love because the food was very tasty and so fresh.
Then we come back some days ago to try the Iftar. 120 aed per person? Only!? 😂 the buffet is so big and you have many many many choices and all of them well done. The staff is so nice and they are so professional. The place is so big and very clean. For us is one of the best place in Abu Dhabi!

Ordered the European classic Chicken Ala Kiev at Castello and it definitely awakened my taste buds! Loved the stuffed and freshly crispy chicken breast with the mozzarella! Was definitely worth what was given on the plate!

Thursday evening we arrived at 11pm and it was packed. We had shisha and ordered lentil soup and mixed messeh with vine leaves, hummus, mouttabel, sambousek, tabbouleh & kibbeh. Generous portions, and we think they have one of the tastiest lentil soup in town. The mixed messeh platter was also very nice but the staff was not very attentive. However it is nice to sit outdoor during the time of this year and smoking shisha.

I go to this place almost every time I go to Abu Dhabi which is about every other week. Everything about this place is perfect! I tried almost all their dishes & none of them was average; It was always above average. I usually have a strawberry banana mix with my food & I have no idea how the chef makes it this much good! The atmosphere & the uniqueness of the place is attractive. Staff so friendly & let's finally speak sbout their amazing shisha. I would say its the best shisha i tried in Abu Dhabi ..

Awesome food that tastes like heaven in your mouth paired with a cool outside setting makes this place a favorite for me. Always depend on them to have great service to complement their delicious food. Pricey but the price is worth the dreamy tastes.

A quiet place away from the hustle bustle of the city.A Lebanese or middle eastern food joint with shisha too. Luckily they have a shisha free zone too. Dining outdoors is a good idea if you don't mind the shisha.
The food is nice, their grills were juicy n tender, we specially loved the hammour with lemon sauce. The sauce very well complemented the hammour. The accompanying boilled vegetables too were 👌. Hummus,thoum pickles were all likeable too.
The place is nice if you want to enjoy some quite, the staff are courteous and the ambience is good.

Had grilled hamour fish 2-3 times and they maintain the great taste. Presentation is great. I too felt that their staff is not up to expectations. Quantity is good and had difficulty in completing. But, since I went with my manager, an Arabic, I just had to keep quite and EnJoI the food.

Wow...look at Mr. H. Mogul's review. He hit it right on the head!  I could not agree with him more. I tried to make this Castello's a regular visit. I had the same two guys for weeks in a row and they never engaged, whatsoever. I felt like I was intruding on their space. Also important for first-timers, the family side is to the left on the inside. If you're with male friends or female adult friends go right when you get inside. The host will watch you make the mistake, then come tell you. The outdoors is really nice, and so is the food and shisha.  Go try it!

I would say that food is the only reason I am visiting this restaurant. The Arabic offerings are delicious. I have never tried their Italian dishes. I always have mixed grills and they are perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside and very aromatic. Service staff with the exception of sisha servers is a big disappointment. The waiters seemed not interested in serving the customers. That is too bad really. And the highlight is that once you are seated, they will directly opened a bottle of Evian water without even asking you if you would like one. Well sometimes I want to drink juice instead of water but I always ended up with just water because they will charge you anyways for this expensive water whether you will drink or not. With the food they are serving, they will really stand out if they work on their service staffs.

This has to be one of the best dinning experiences I've ever had in Abu Dhabi. Getting to the place was a bit of a challenge as I was coming from Khalifah City A, but I was finally rewarded when I saw the place at the very end of Abu Dhabi. The place was quite and elegant. Staff were very friendly, and their shisha was delightful. We had spicy potatoes for the appetizer and it was yummy. We also tried their seafood pasta which was delicious. We also tried their pannini Alfredo and my fiancé loved it. I was impressed with the quality of the food, the ambience, and staff and the location of the place overall. I will be gladly happy to visit this place again if I ever stay in Abu Dhabi again.

We come here every now and then but mostly, Casttelo is perfect for winter as you enjoy the cold breeze outside near the seaport in Al Mina. Good place serve with arabic food.
Good food - we usually order their pizza, seafood paella and some pasta. We are served by good waiters also and have waited for our orders just fine. There maybe stray cats around (which I honestly don't mind). 
Suited for romantic date night, for friends gathering or even just family bonding.

مطعم كاستيلو في أبوظبي😍😍 جوهرة مخفية في الميناء بجوار السوق الإيراني القديم على الرصيف البحري. مطعم متميز بجودة الأكل ما يعرفه إلا أهل الديرة. دلّني عليه شخص خبير و جد ذوق 👌🏻👌🏻 جربت الشوربة البحرية و كانت ١٠/٨ لذيذة بس دسمة شوي. الخدمة سريعة بس شوي نفسية 🙊🙊🙊 بس ما يمنع تجربونه الجلسة بس تستاهل بدون أكل 😉

One of the best surprises in Abu Dhabi, Casttello does things to perfection. Though it is a public venture that is affordable and frequented by port workers, Casttello offers the best food made to perfection. Whether it is meat or fish, salads or entres, desserts or cocktails, Casttello knows how to make it. The Casttello special shisha is great, and my advice is to order the mix in an orange head. Thumbs up!

I have been to Casttello many times wither i was with a group or even alone. They offer a variety of different cuisines with a joy. Customer service is wonderful and food quality is nice. One of the plates that i really enjoyed and usually order is the mixed sea food. Tastes good different and price is not that expensive. Only concern that place and decor is compressed and close for an area that is relatively big. I would totally recommended to redesign the decor of the place to reflect the food quality and service. Overall good experience and nice food.

I've been there a couple of days ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered Nicose salad and it came other creamy mustard sauce. Really delicious, whilst my friend ordered the crab salad. Had a few bites off of that and it was good for a salad with rocca ( not a big fan of rocca) what I am looking forward to trying is the fetucinni pasta with white sauce and mushroom. My other friend ordered it and I had a taste. It was not bad. Prices are okay and I loved the view , there was a big ship right next to the restaurant so I thought that was cool. Totally recommend this place

A very good hangout spot for youngsters who need a break. I had a great evening here with some of my "bestest" pals from my schools days Rishi Nair @rahul nanda. We had a great evening and the shisha was out of this world. I liked the grape mint flavor. As for the food, shish tawook was just juicy and sumptuous. A mixed platter of assorted kebabs to follow. The pasta there however was just good I suppose. Please visit this joint for a wonderful break from your everyday life with shisha and a wide choice of Arabic food.

I like the location of this joint as it is very close to the port. I don't smoke Shisha but my friends like the Shisha served here but their main complaint is the additional charge for the Shisha pipe which is outrageous. The food is well prepared but the quantity is quite less.

All in all its a good place to relax.

This is a great place to have dinner while you enjoy your Sheesha with friends or family. I think it is slightly more expensive as compared to the other cafe restaurants in Abu Dhabi. I have always had their chicken a la keiv which is my personal favorite and one of their best sellers. I have had their lasagna as well and it was very creamy yet delicious. You will know why they charge you a bit extra for their dishes when the food arrive, the quantity is just too good. They serve Evian water as soon as you are seated and their service is pretty good as well. You have an option to either sit inside or to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The staff were quite friendly and I like their Sheesha as well.
I think this is a good place to visit for dinner with family and kids.
