My favourite restaurant

Mzlai restaurant is one of my favourites restaurants in Abu Dhabi. I have visited many resturand around the gulf area, Mzlay has always been at the top of the list for many reasons. Starting with its unique name, its the traditional emarati term for door lock. It serves a various of delicious local dishes such as Freed, Hrees, Bryani and machboos. Head chef Ali Salem, makes the perfect traditional dishes such as Madfoun, btheet, chbab, and shrimp hamsa. Each dish is well made with fresh ingredients which you can taste with each bite. Mezlai staff are not only dressed up like locals, but they are so genuinely friendly. They truly represent the Arabian hospitality. The Emarati cuisine goes perfectly with the restaurant atmosphere. The welcoming staff will show you around a different setting areas indoors and outdoors. The traditional Emarati theme live up to the Emarati culture because its tastefully arranged. It was the perfect restaurant to spend my last birthday in. I ordered the shrimp hamsa along with beryani rice. It was perfect. I went outdoors to enjoy the traditional tea " Karak" near the fountain. It was a great getaway since its so quite. I will defiantly visit Mezlai again to try the rest of their well loved dishes.
