Lovely place... Ramazan bey always will help u and give
All his attention...
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.
I visited with my friends and it was more than enough! It would totally have it again! 😍
It is a must try thing whenever you are visiting Otantik next time.

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.
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.
The mix grill was a great decision. The meat was tender and juicy and the casserole had a whole lot of flavor.
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.
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
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:
- shisha: its tasty & doesn’t give me a headache unlike most shishas in AD.
- Meat & cheese pide: heavy but very good
- Pepperoni & cheese pide: i love it, i prefer this mix over the meat & cheese. It’s one of the dishes i order the most.
- Chicken with mushroom: good, the sauce is heavy & fatty but delicious.
- 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.

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 delicious food, recommended
With Sudhir Panjwani
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.
Amazing food; everything we try is always great nothing is even average, ambiance is good and staff especially management are very helpful
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.
Amazing ambience, great place to hangout with family and friends.

We tried their Chicken plank, #mix Pide & turkish coffee.
Everything was worth the cost,If you live in Abudhabi try out this cafe and sure you will love our recommendation😄

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.

I have been coming here for over a month since moving to AD. A nice joint, great food and really classy setup.
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.
The Shisha crew are one of the best I have seen in town.
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.
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.
For the Zomato Gold Users, buy 1 get 1 promotion is available at Otantik. Thank me later.

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
Easy access location opposite to Beach Rotana.
Our experience stated the moment we sit tea was served along with the menu.
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.
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.
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.
The food quality was excellent
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
A wholesome experience of eating Mediterranean cuisine in the heart of Abu Dhabi.
Otantik's delicacies will give you an authentic taste of Mediterranean food that you can feel good about eating.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
For dessert we had Baklava with turkish Icecream. It was too sweet for our taste but we enjoyed having this ice cream sandwich Baklava.
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.
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.
Staff 5*: The staff is very polite and attentive.
The manager Mr. Ramazan greeted us, and offered us some complimentary baklava, which was a great gesture, and we thank him for that.
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 👌🏻
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
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
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!
Food(5/5):
The batata harra was tastefull and the shrimp casserole was so good, even if you don't like seafood you would enjoy it!

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!
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.
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!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
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.
The place was packed for a weekday. Despite that, the service was flawless. Such attentive servers.
We tried the Turkish bread with mezze, the Mediterranean salad and the Fattoush which we LOVEDDD. Highly recommend.
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.
Our favorite part was the Baklava which is so so good, make sure you order that along with the Turkish Tea.
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.
The place also includes Shisha.
Nice customer service .
Great ambience inside non-smoking room .
Fresh prepared dishes , great quality .
Chicken mushroom with rice must try dish .
Overall tummy satisfied and will feel good :)
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!!!
A lil difficult to find parking tho.
We ordered the chicken beyti kebab and the chicken pizza.
Both were scrumptious. But the chicken pizza was definitely the best I've had in Abu Dhabi!!!
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 !
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
They have opened shawarma counter !!
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!

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.
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!!
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.
Being located a stone's throw away from home, this place has already secured the top spot on my favorites' list!
Very nice location with delicious food. Manager was very friendly and came few times to our table....
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
Friendly staff
Delicious food
Personal favorite: Otantic Soup, Avocado shake and the grilled eggplant.
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.
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.
