This Middle Eastern restaurant is located in the extravagant Emirates Palace hotel and serves Emirati food. The interior is minimalist design contrasting the Gold and flashy entrance of the hotel. I ordered camel tongue and it was delicious. Must try.

Great place with superb service! Nice and relaxing atmosphere! Scallops and wine recommended by Emad were absolutely amazing!

Superb hotel in abu dhabi the best

Wonderfull traditional place! Very good service!

I went to Ramadan Iftar buffet. Good service and arrangement. But food selection is average and nothing special about it.

Specifically stopped by here to try the camel. The restaurant is located within Emirate Palace, which was a really beautiful place to look around. The palace reeked of opulence and extravagance which was very different from what Im used to.After getting to the restaurant with my booking, I was served doughnuts, dates and special coffee. The doughnuts were really amazing. I had the choice for inside or outdoor dining and opted to eat outside. The outdoor area had booths with very comfortable seats. After getting the menu I did feel like I was forgotten for a bit. Due to its location, it was hard to get anyones attention without having to leave the table.After getting to order, the item I wanted wasnt available so I ended with going with the other camel dish. I was also recommended the camel milk with dates.The camel milk was interesting. It didnt have a strong milk flavour but that could have been due to the dates. It was kinda hard to drink though since the date pieces kept getting stuck in the straw.I started with the veal harees, which was like a meat pate. The meat was spiced very delicately but the texture was a bit weird for me, almost gummy. It did go really well with the pita bread. The pita bread was delicious. I found the camel chop a bit dry. The vegetables that came with it were seasoned and cooked well.I had the angel hair and kashta for dessert. There was a pistachio and honey parfait on one side and angel hair filled with cream and topped with chocolate on the other. Both items were nice.The food was made well but it wasnt something that I would go for again, particularly due to the price. Service was really nice when they were there, but that could have been due to the time, as I arrived there quite late (2130). Overall it was an interesting experience.

Delicious, great ambiance. Authentic food

Discovering the dining in palace arabian style

Very good service. Very big portions and good taste.

This is a must visit on any trip to Abu Dhabi. The cabana style seating outside and the perfect flavors made every bite a treasure. The food was fantastic and I cant wait to return. The highlight of our experience was not only the perfect Emirati flavors but Noel our server who was so helpful and charming. We loved him! If you are wondering if you should book here, I promise this is one restaurant you dont want to miss.

Tasty local food, try local Rocca salad!! must!!!!!

Long time wanted to try this restaurant and finally we did. Happy we did in winter as it is lovely to sit outside in the cabana and look at the majestic palace from the side you cannot see as tourist. Their koobus bread is heavenly, couldn’t stop eating it, we could basically dine this bread only.... however the mezzeh and seafood platter is also awesome and service is on top par. And price is fair. Truly recommended.

Authentic, local cuisine. The staff was always friendly. Overall a very unique experience each time.

We had an evening meal in the Mezlai within the Emirates Palace hotel and what an amazing place to have a meal. The food was very good if not all of it to our personal taste. The mixed grill was amazing!! The Lamb Threed cane with so much Raga bread that it spoilt it a little for the 2 people in our party who ate it. The desert angel hair was lovely. Don’t expect a cheap meal though but it is still worth the price tag just for the experience!!

Certainly one of the most pleasant dining experiences in Abu Dhabi.The food was very nice. Furthermore, having nice food and a bottle of cold beer on the terrace outside on a warm afternoon was an amazing experience. The service was very attentive and professional as well.

We go to the Emirates Palace Hotel every year and it never disappoints. This restaurant is one of the finest we have ever been to.I decided to eat here to experience Emirati food, we were not disappointed the food was great, Noel our waiter was very friendly and helped us decide what to try, A very good experience

Very nice food & staff.

Went there after reading all the good reviews. Was not worth the price what we paid for the food, it was just below average. We found hair in our dish more than once and they still charged us for the food. We will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Only good thing was the service from the waiter. Very disappointed. Had high Hopes from this restaurant for the amount of money they charge.

A great place to try emirati food. The recommendations of our waiter Noel and service were outstanding. The doshes are worth tryong are camel tanour and the desert - Angel hair. For rice lovers I recommend biryahni with lamb or oyster. The price is justable, from my perspective: 540 AED for starter, main courses, wine, coffee and desert for 2 pers. The portions are huge, I recommend to go for a dinner, not eating a lunch this day.

Nice & clean restaurant. The food is good but didnt meet my expectation.

Very tasty local food, my first experience with camel meat :-)

One of the worst restaurant experiences ever, chicken expired and get sick after dinner the rice was terrible. Avoid this restaurant not worst it

Local tasty cuisine

Emirati experience a local restaurant, fine dinning cuisine, wonderful unique elegant restaurant

Very fine versions of Emirati cuisine, rather vast restaurant with really friendly staff

Very good restaurant with very good service and professional staff.

Delicious and authantec Emirati food, little bit expensive but real Emirati food in an amazing place and elegant ambiance

Great local food

Mezlai means in Emirati accent the door lock , the restaurant is located in the finest hotel in abudhabi (Emirates Palace) therefore no wonder when you see the food prices are so high , the restaurant serves Emirati traditional food in a modern way , food taste good specially the biryani , it worth a visit but the prices have to be reviewed because you can find same food exactly with lower prices , overall i like the stuff they are very welcoming and the restaurants atmosphere is nicely furnished as elegant traditional style , good experience, you will have the chance to discover some parts of the magnificent hotel ..

The food is to expensive and the food dont worth and they tret you like a baby

Nice place

Nice for quiet Arab diner

Great food

Best in town

Nice

This is a restaurant with a mix of Arabic cuisines (Local UAE, Lebanese, and Moroccan). Chef Ali will make you feel home by providing whatever you like even if your request is not in the menu..The service is great. I was really impressed.I will definitely come back..Mazlay Restaurant is an Arabic cuisine that includes local Emirati, Lebanese and Moroccan dishes.Chef Ali is frankly at the top of humility and offers you what is on your mind even if it is not on the menu..The service is excellent and more than you can imagine..

مطعم جميل. وقائمة طعام متنوعة ولذيذ. كذلك سعدت بلقاء الشيف علي الاماراتي بمستوى عالمي. يوم جميل وذكرى طيبة. شكرا شيف على

Excellent food, perfect service! Must try: BBQ Special with charcoal grill at the table

The food is less than normal, the service is bad, the restaurant is supposed to be light, so the Emirates Palace should be at least 3 or 4 stars.. I advise they change the restaurant

Cuisine exclusivement libanaiseLa nourriture et plats été en-dessous de la moyenne pour un prix élevé

Very good dish but incompetent waiters. Error in the dish, then when the right dish arrives it is spicy even though we had requested without spices and the old dish that we had already touched a little with the fork was directly given to the other table ... dessert offered in compensation but hey .... for the price we expect much better!

Very cool

Fantastic food in a beautiful place.

The restaurant is very classy, ​​reservations are easy, and the staff are excellent .. Id love to order a delicious shrimp biryani

Great restaurant, we had a great time in this place with sublime local cuisine.

Immerse yourself in 1001 nights! A wonderfulRestaurant experience with traditional cuisine on an exclusive level. We had only traditional appetizers, including a kind of stuffed crepe and as a main course a traditional camel steak tried, all very good! To our surprise, camel meat tastes very much like a good beef steak. Fine dining in a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended!!!

Very nice place, nice food and ok

Nice ambience, Arabian specialties, yummy dessert (camel chocolate) Recommended!
