Who We Are
Royal Authentic Restaurant is one of Al Danah’s most established dining destinations — a kitchen built around the belief that great food should be generous, genuine and available to everyone. Located on Airport Road in Abu Dhabi, we serve Arabic, Pakistani and Indian cuisine under one roof, and we have been doing so for a community that knows exactly what authentic cooking tastes like.
We are not a fusion restaurant. We are not a simplified version of food traditions made palatable for the widest possible audience. We are a kitchen that takes each cuisine seriously — preparing Arabic grills, Pakistani breakfast classics and Indian curries the way they are meant to be prepared, with the ingredients, techniques and time that each one requires.
Our guests come from every background, and they come for different things. Some come for the Pakistani breakfast that reminds them of home. Others come for an Arabic dinner with family or a long lunch that stretches into the afternoon. Some come because they want to eat something they have never tried before and trust that it will be done well. Whatever brings you to Royal Authentic Restaurant, you will find a kitchen that is ready for you — and a team that is glad you are here.
Our Food
The menu at Royal Authentic Restaurant reflects three of the world’s most celebrated food cultures — and each one is given the attention it deserves.
Our Pakistani dishes are rooted in the traditions of the subcontinent: slow-cooked Nihari prepared overnight, Halwa Puri sets assembled fresh every morning, karahis and handis that develop their flavour over hours rather than minutes, biryanis layered with the care that the dish demands. Pakistani food at its best is food that takes time — and our kitchen gives it that time.
Our Arabic dishes reflect the generosity and boldness of the Levant and the Gulf — rice dishes prepared with the spicing of the region, grills and BBQ served with the accompaniments that complete them, the kind of food that a large table of family or friends can share and feel properly fed by.
Our Indian dishes add the breadth and variety that Indian cooking has always represented — curries, dals, vegetarian dishes, fried snacks & breads that span the full range of the subcontinent’s regional traditions. Whether you prefer something mild and comforting or something bold & richly spiced, the Indian section of our menu has it.
Where We Are
Royal Authentic Restaurant is located on Airport Road, Abu Dhabi — near the Adnoc Lube Station, making it easy to find whether you are coming from the city centre, from the surrounding residential areas, or passing through on the way to or from the airport.
We are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner — and our kitchen is ready whenever you are. Whether you are planning a visit in advance or making a decision on the spot, you will find us at the same address, with the same menu and the same standard of cooking that our regulars have come to rely on.
What Our Customers Have To Say
EXCELLENT Based on 154 reviews Posted on MKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place for truly authentic Pakistani food with rich, traditional flavors. The service was good and attentive, and the restaurant offers plenty of indoor seating with a limited outdoor seating area as well. We ordered the mutton karahi, which had very good taste. Chappal kebabs were incredible, highlight of the meal. The chicken seekh kebab with rice was also excellent; the kebabs were tender, soft, and full of flavor. The Kandhari naan and kulcha naan were perfectly done, crispy on the outside yet soft inside. Overall, a very satisfying experience and a solid spot for authentic Pakistani cuisine. Would definitely visit again.Posted on Crema CafeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
