Best for value

If you’re a carvery lover, you can’t go past McCafferty’s - their Sunday Carvery pulls a loyal crowd and is excellent value, too: AED119 will net you soup to start and dessert of the day along with your roast dinner - one of only a few in the city with pork on the menu. Kids under 6 eat for free - an easy win for a laidback afternoon with friends and family - and live music is the cherry on top.

Best for Saturday AND Sunday

Why wait until Sunday for your roast fix? The Sportsman's Arms are serving up roast dinners all weekend long, with plenty of options on the menu to customise your plate the way you like it - you can choose from chicken, beef or lamb, enjoy 2 meats or upgrade for the full feast! From just AED85, it's a great price - all while kicking back to some live music (on Saturdays) with your favourite sports matches on the screen.

Best for a fancy roast

One of Abu Dhabi’s more upscale Sunday roasts, Nalu Surf Club at Abu Dhabi's Surf Pool is serving up a memorable afternoon that’s a step above your traditional roast dinner. It’s a bit fancier than most: choose from wagyu brisket, chicken or sea bream, with unlimited helpings of sides, delicious Yorkshire puddings and plenty of gravy - but be sure to save room for dessert. There's a DJ for entertainment, your roast comes with 2 half-pints of Corona to match the surfy vibe, and you've got one of the coolest views in the city as surfers roll through with each set of waves. This is a Sunday roast that’s hard to beat.

Best for some fun and games

Don’t let the Sunday afternoon blues sink in - enjoy your Sunday roast lunch as you take part in the afternoon quiz at Atlon hosted by Radio 1’s Sonya Mac. Starting from AED99 for a hearty roast, you can add on a drinks package (3 hours of free-flow will set you back between AED99-199 depending on the package!) or enjoy some drinks specials while you’re at it. It’s all fun and games at Atlon every Sunday afternoon. There are even some cheeky BB+ discounts to make your roast event better! 

Best for families

If you have kids, make sure you don’t miss out on Central's Sunday 'Roast n Roll' roast dinner. Head in for a Sunday Funday for all the family: the kids roast is AED85, and includes a roast, a drink AND AED30 gaming credit - keep them busy with the arcade or even a spot of bowling while the grown ups relax! Adults enjoy their choice of roast and a house drink for a tidy AED135 dizzers. With a Yas Bay location, it's a great Sunday afternoon out for the whole family.

Best for a Sunday roast buffet

You’re in for a penny, in for a pound at PJ O'Reilly's each Sunday, with an unlimited roast buffet that will satisfy even the biggest appetite. Go back for seconds - there are plenty of meat options in the carvery along with crowd pleasers of roast potatoes, veggies and lashings of gravy. Opt for the house package if you want to sip your way through Sunday afternoon - it's only AED75, bargain!
