Al Mrzab

The neon sign cuts through the Abu Dhabi night, and the crowd waiting outside tells you everything else. Al Mrzab is a busy, affordable Emirati and Kuwaiti restaurant where photos of old Abu Dhabi cover the walls and seating runs from private cabins to majlis cushions. The kitchen earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand for traditional cooking that doesn't cut corners. Save room for the khanfaroush, a hot, golden, made-to-order fritter finished with local honey.
