There's now a roof terrace ... perfect for brunches on sunny winter mornings in Abu Dhabi, when the temperature is 16C - 20C :-)


Our drinks ...


MD's salad and DS's saaj :-)


My full english breakfast, 48 AED or RM$40. This includes a generous cup of cappucino, and a nice freshly squeezed cup of orange juice.


The view from the rooftop terrace :-)

LoLy : ... you should expect being totally ignored and delayed for a very long time before someone noticing that you entered the cafe, someone brings you the Menu, someone asks you what you wanna order. ...

Jules: Once I appeared at the door / entrance, a man greeted me and gave me directions on how to go to the rooftop terrace, where my friends were waiting for me. It took about 3 mins before the waiter brought us our menus, and he even apologised for the wait!

LoLy: .... NEVER anyone will check on you while you are eating if you need anything, and to get a bill, you have to go run after them and grab a waiter by his neck or you will sit there for hours without anyone noticing you..

Jules: That's true, no one checked on us whilst we were eating, but they politely brought us the bill (About 4 mins wait), and I found the service to be average-good. Not quite very good, but between average-good!

Summary: Service was poor on my previous visits as well, but it was much improved today. Perhaps that was cos' there were only 3 other tables occupied on the rooftop terrace!
