The food was not that good as we expected it to be. Staff was amazing. I want to thank sushant for making our experience worth it
We wanted to celebrate our special occasion and I guess we chose the right place at Martabaan. The staff were so polite and friendly, you almost felt at hone. Manish and Sushant made our dining experience very special with an in house dessert at the end of the meal. The sea waves splashing as you relax in the luxurious ambience with super tasty food. Don’t miss the gold leaf kulfi.... its pure indulgence. We’re vegetarian and options are many.
Really delicious food. A bit pricey but its worth it for anyone who wants quality comfort food with excellent hospitality😁
Wonderful ambience and amazing food.
Superb place to enjoy your dinner.
We were a bunch of vegetarians visiting the place. Starters were nice, nan bread platter was nice too. What failed in the end was the main course. Veg dum biryani and martabaan chole were unpalatable, we actually retuned the dum biryani . The staff and the ambience were excellent.
The best Indian restaurant in Abu Dhabi. The whole staff was amazing and nice!! The food was delicious. We highly recommend it. Thank you.
Excellent food and perfect customer service. It was that good we’re going back tonight
A Place that serves Phenomenol Indian food paired with extraordinary Drinks and an unforgettable experience. Big Hand for the team for bringing out this masterpiece.
A special evening calls for a special place to celebrate. Thoroughly spoilt by my boys on my birthday and it had to be Martabaan- the new upper end Indian restaurant by celebrity chef Hemant Oberoi.The word literally means a ceramic jar, traditionally used to preserve pickles in India - reminded me of the huge ones my grandmother used to have.The restaurant describes itself as a contemporary classic Indian dining destination.We started with cocktails- Clover Club- gin, raspberry and egg white- not too sweet- and no! no eggy flavour!We decided on the diamond set menu- bit like a taster menu- so that we would get to taste a viriety of stuff.Starting with an amouse bouche of dahi bhalla- lentil dumpling in yogurt- for the uninitiated, followed by the Kochumba and coconut soup. Delicately coconutty with a peppery after taste- yumm!This was followed by chicken tikka marinated in three lemons.The flavours kept coming in layers and kept getting bigger- as the spiciness and heat levels were ramped up a tad. Kakoti cigars- ground meat in a dosa wrap was next. Followed by can can chicken with rice- chicken in a pickly sauce.The mains were chicken biriyani- served in a glass pot- especially made in India for this restaurant - so that the layering of the biriyani can be seen from outside.Meat served in a small Martabaan as the restaurant name suggests.Dessert- what can I say! Where else will you get edible gold with your food?Overall, a fantastic layering of tastes and flavours, spicy but not overpoweringly so, contemporary and traditional flavours blending in a perfect harmony!What could be better? Definitely the decor and ambience. Does not convey the image of a contemporary classic Indian restaurant. Does not have the luxurious feel of an upper end restaurant either. The place is way too brightly lit- but not in a nice cafe style way either. Almost as if the old restaurant was renovated overnight!It is pricey and for special celebrations only. Will I go back there? Definitely! The food and service was absolutely superb!
