Our Arabic Dishes

The foundation of our Arabic menu is rice — specifically, the Arabic Style Rice preparations that are central to Gulf and Levantine dining. These are not simple dishes. The rice is long-grained and cooked in a spiced broth that gives it fragrance and depth; the meat is slow-cooked until it falls apart and is served over the rice with the traditional accompaniments — fried onions, raisins, nuts — that complete the dish in the traditional manner. It is food built for a table of people, and it is among the most satisfying things our kitchen produces.

Our BBQ selection brings charcoal-grilled meats to the Arabic menu — marinated cuts cooked over live coals, served with fresh bread, salad and the dipping sauces that belong alongside them. Arabic grilling is an art form in the Gulf region, and we approach it with the respect it deserves: properly marinated, cooked at the right temperature, rested before serving.

Arabic Dining at Royal Authentic Restaurant

What makes Arabic food at Royal Authentic Restaurant worth seeking out is the commitment to doing it properly. The rice dishes require the right technique and balance of spice; the grills require quality meat and the right heat; the bread that accompanies everything needs to be fresh. These are not details that can be overlooked, and at Royal Authentic Restaurant, they are not.

Our kitchen has been serving the Al Danah community for long enough to understand what our guests expect from Arabic food — and to consistently meet that expectation. If you are looking for the best restaurant in Al Danah for a genuine Arabic meal, or the best restaurant in Abu Dhabi for Arabic food prepared faithfully, Royal Authentic Restaurant is where you should be.

Arabic Food for Every Occasion

Arabic food is, at its heart, food for sharing. The rice dishes arrive on large platters. The grills are ordered by the portion and placed in the centre of the table. The bread comes in rounds, torn and shared. This makes our Arabic menu particularly well suited to family meals, group gatherings and any occasion where a table of people wants to eat well together without overthinking the individual order.

We serve Arabic food for dine in and delivery across Al Danah and the surrounding areas of Abu Dhabi. Whether you are sitting down with us on Airport Road or ordering in for the evening, the same quality applies — fresh, properly cooked and generously served.

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.
