Abu Shakra Restaurant and Grill

Abu Shakra on Muroor Road serves up delicious Egyptian cuisine in the heart of Abu Dhabi. After entering through the bustling, smoky kitchen area, you ascend a staircase that features an illuminated wall of Egypt’s golden-age stars of the cinema. Settle into the newly renovated dining room with its expansive view of the Corniche and be sure to start your meal with a plate of koshari, the national dish of Egypt, which consists of macaroni, rice, and lentils topped with crispy grilled onions and chickpeas. The spicy, juicy lamb chops are also a favorite, alongside other grilled dishes such as kofta, shish tawook, and chicken wings.
