Nahaam Brunch Summer Edition

Conrad Etihad Towers Abu Dhabi

We love it when the big brunches go inside, and the more casual Nahaam summer brunch will see you through the heat in style. Get your flats, shorts and summer dresses on - it’s brunch time!

The DJ’s excellent set list gets the vibes going from the start and ramps up as the afternoon progresses, the drinks keep flowing, and we’re thrilled to see the return of the open kitchen - it’s a fun behind-the-scenes look into the action!

Seafood lovers are in for a treat with platters heaving with oysters, prawns, mussels, and lobster tail, and it would be a crime to miss the excellent fresh sushi & sashimi. There’s a good choice of roast meats, and the bao are some of the best we've had recently, not too doughy with a gooey centre and a hint of sweetness. The sticky sesame chicken wings are also dangerously moreish - don’t miss them. 

Desserts continue to WOW at Nahaam this summer - we rate the fabulous cheesecake and a triple chocolate shooter will more than satisfy any chocoholic. There’s a great Arabic sweets table, and kids love the chocolate fountain (complete with fruit and marshmallows) and the gelato counter - as do we! Along with Nahaam’s summer prices, seal the deal with your BB+ member price: enjoy 20% off soft and house packages. Not a member? Sign up here. 

Available: Saturday 1PM - 4PM

Price: Soft AED345 | House AED495 (includes classic mojitos, classic martini, espresso martini, Aperol spritz, & piña colada, plus Krombacher & IPA on draught) | French bubbles AED625 | 20% off soft and house packages with BB+
