For generous, low-priced portions and clear marina views, it doesn’t get much better than Aden. Join the locals for a feast of grilled fish, succulent meats, salads, homemade breads and more. This is not your regular sit-down though, instead find your place on the carpeted floors.

This is the place to try modern interpretations of classic regional dishes, as well as local twists on international favourites: grilled shrimp, hares (boiled, cracked or coarsely-ground wheat served with meat or chicken), spicy fish platters, kebabs (like yoghurt and saffron-marinated chicken); crispy haloumi cheese and falafel, Emirati hummus with meat (nakhi), plus pizzas and pastas topped with Arabic ingredients and desserts such as sticky lugaymat…
