The Iftar at Garage was next level! They successfully blended traditional dishes with international plates into a selection that cannot be beaten. In my opinion, they’ve underpriced this iftar at AED198 as the spread rivals the best brunches in the city.
Traditional! I’ve always enjoyed the Arabic dishes at Garage. The Mezze Bar was working overtime pumping out beautiful individual portions of cold mezze. The stuffed vine leaves and fatoush salad were served in beautiful mini stone bowls and the Garage signature hummus was spread into a pretty glass dish. For soups fans, you could choose from harira soup and lentil soup. Over at the Meat Vault, the aromatic lamb ouzi was dished up with a mint and yogurt sauce and Zain tried camel for the first time! The camel was slow-cooked on a bed of saffron rice and sprinkled with golden buttery cashews. The spicy daqua salsa complimented the tender and lean flavour of the camel meat. The shish kebabs were calling my name the second I spied them at the vault. The outside was glossy and charred and the inside was juicy and nicely seasoned. It made for a great bite wedged between freshly baked Arabic bread and a spoonful of hummus.
Not So Traditional! The Steam Table is one of my favourite hubs at Garage. You can see the chef's hand making the delicious dim sum and the woks in motion, which on this night were frying up chicken kong pao. The chicken was tossed in a fragrant sweet sauce with toasted cashews, veggies, and little pops of crunch from Sichuan peppercorns. This was a table favourite! The slow-cooked beef ribs were insanely good and tender, melting in my mouth. I had no choice but to go back for seconds. The Nikkei hub featured some lighter flavour profiles with a mix of maki rolls, salmon sashimi, prawns in aguachile & tahina, and hamachi ceviche.
The Dessert Table! This table. Wow. Wow. Wow. It was a showstopper. The table was easily four meters long and pure heaven on a table. The date “trees” were huge, with each row of dates featuring a different flavour combination. There was a chocolate fountain with cake and fruit, classic Arabic sweets like birds nest baklava and kunafa, cream-filled choux, tiramisu, chocolate hazelnut mousse cakes, and so much more! The Tart Van was also open with a selection of ice creams, macarons, chocolate bark, and cake truffles. The date flavoured ice cream was a winner! You will need multiple trips for dessert; wear your walking shoes!
Garage went above and beyond with their fantastic range of dishes for Iftar. It’s well worth a visit and well worth the price. A must-try this Ramadan.

B.I.G. - Brunch in Garage
If I were to describe the Friday brunch at Garage in 4 words it would be….FUN! FOODIE! FRESH! FANTASTICAL! Go B.I.G. or go home! It had been a minute since I visited this brunch and they have made some tweaks that make it stand out from the pack. It has a big selection of buffet dishes, live cooking stations and there is a parade of delicious surprise visits to your table.
FOOD STATIONS! The selection was vast and featured food from their 5 culinary hubs within the restaurant. There was everything from fresh sushi, katsu burgers, rainbow hummus, wok-fried dishes, lobster salad, beef carpaccio and even a mini roast dinner with Yorkshire puddings. Some items were served buffet style and others like the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) with bok choi and yolk crumble were made to order and delivered to your table. The fried chicken and sweet potato waffle drizzled in BBQ sauce was a hit. I may have let out a squeal when I saw them!
The raw fish station had both maki rolls, nigiri, and two different ceviches. There was so much selection across many cuisines, I didn’t get to it all! Don't sleep on the freshly baked sweet pull-apart rolls near the Meat Vault. They were heavenly.
SURPRISE VISITS! Throughout the brunch, there were traveling 'stations' that made their way around the room. First, it was flaky flatbread with smoked salmon, next it was a cart filled with freshly steamed dim sum. Then the oysters with ponzu and cucumber pickle stopped for a visit followed by the cocktail cart serving up cocktails with hibiscus tea. The final visit was from the dessert “fairy” who stopped by with a tasty selection of desserts including crème brulee, cheesecake, and choux puffs stuffed with cream. There was also a massive, I’m talking HUGE, lemon meringue tart that was sliced up and served to the tables.
DRINKS, VIBE & AFTER PARTY! This brunch is a vibe! The music is loud,
perfect for a party brunch but not so loud that you can't hear each other speak. The champagne is Laurent-Perrier and the cocktails are flowing on tap! Beer, wine, spirits, and mocktails are also on the menu. I cannot go to W Abu Dhabi without a visit to W Lounge. It's sooo beautiful. It’s a must-stop post-brunch that keeps the party going. They have daily happy hour - buy one get one free on select drinks. I recommend the passion fruit cocktail. Cheers!

Bringing it home with Iftar2Go at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island!
It is a tradition that families spend as much time together with loved ones over the month of Ramadan – especially over the breaking of the fast. The Iftar2Go is a great way to feed the family and spend more quality time together without the many hours of cooking and piles of washing up!
The Iftar2Go box had three options available. We went with the middle option of Signature2Go as it was just the two of us but for an even more impressive spread, the Epic2Go box looked awesome.
When we received the Signature2Go, I was certain they had given us the wrong order! The box was like a Mary Poppins bag, there was so much food that just kept coming! We made the order for just 2 people but for sure this box can feed at least 4 hungry people (and some more). The box included everything that you would expect at a traditional iftar meal: dates and apricots, soup, salads, appetizers and dips, mains, and dessert.
We started the meal with a bowl of classic velvety lentil soup with a squeeze of lemon and crispy Arabic bread, followed by a plate of appetizers. Blended with nuts, drizzled with a good round of olive oil, sprinkled with chopped mixed nuts and roasted chickpeas, this hummus had many interesting flavours and textures - possibly the best I’ve ever had. We enjoyed the refreshing tabbouleh and fattoush salads along with the flakey cheese pie, tasty falafel and fried kibbeh.
For mains, there was a selection of meat grills served with a massive portion of saffron basmati rice and mixed grilled vegetables. The beef skewers were tender, the lamb kofta was tasty and the shish tawouk was beautifully marinated in warm spices. We each enjoyed a succulent piece of lamb shank with a generous serving of hearty oriental rice, loaded with mincemeat, nuts, and hints of aromatic cardamom and bay leaves.
I was a bit cheeky and tried the luqaimat when we first opened the boxes because they were still warm and fresh. The date-syrup laden dough bites of sugary delight were impossible to stop at just one. We saved the baklawa for the end with a cup of coffee.
The ordering process was super quick and simple. I filled in the form (link below) including my details, address, order type (pick up or delivery order), and selected the package that I wanted. Pick up is free or you can pay an additional AED 35 for the added convenience of having the meal delivered to your home.
If you’re fasting, this is a hotel standard feast that is guaranteed to please the whole family, from the comfort of your own home. Even if you’re not fasting, this Iftar2Go box is an amazing meal that is of great value and will feed a crowd.
