Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia

My friends and I had an instant getaway, choosing a spot based on a random review we found on Google. We didn’t quite know what awaited us… but it turned out to be an absolute thrill to discover the option of reaching the restaurant via an abra ride. The serene journey through opulent villas and verdant gardens along the shoreline left a vivid impression. The welcoming ambiance and quiet surroundings made the experience even more pleasant. The staff were friendly and polite, guiding us through the menu and recommending the best dishes. The food was delicious, and the portions were perfectly balanced. We had Poda Manso with lucchi and steamed rice with dal makhni. Though the manso was well-cooked and the masala just right, the dish lived up to its name a bit too literally—it left a slightly bitter aftertaste, though not overly noticeable. The mocktail and aloo chaat starter were scrumptious. I highly recommend this restaurant for its great ambiance, friendly staff, diverse menu choices, and a truly regal experience!

Fantastic food and amazing ambience! Indian food reimagined at its best! Staff are very polite, but they are in too much of a hurry to clear plates and sometimes take your plates and cutlery away while you are still eating!! They need to be trained properly I'm afraid 😔

Excellent food, great service and every dish had a distinct taste. The dessert was outstanding. Loved loved it. Will be back. Our server April was very attentive and very helpful. It was a really memorable meal.

Atrangi offers a fine dining experience that lives up to its name—vibrant, bold, and unforgettable. The ambiance blends modern elegance with a touch of cultural charm, creating a warm and stylish setting. Each dish is a creative take on Indian cuisine, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. Celebrated my husband's birthday there, and it turned into a truly memorable moment—perfect food, lovely atmosphere, and heartfelt service. Highly recommended for any special occasion!

Good Food, fantastic Location and Ambience. This place has amazing vibe, Abra ride to the restaurant is very pleasing. They have good options of different North, East and South India food. Plating of food can be better to be a part of Michelin Star club.

The best Indian food we’ve ever had. Each dish gave us a taste of a different region of India, and our server, Ching, enhanced the experience by explaining where every dish originated and sharing some fascinating history behind how they’re traditionally prepared. A truly memorable meal.

Fantastic food and amazing ambience! Indian food reimagined at its best! Staff are very polite. Great hospitality by Dipti. Highly recommend. Chole bhature, chilli paneer and mocktails are best

Went there with family for a special occassion. I will divide my review in parts as there are some positives and negatives. 1. Access - Restaurant is located deep inside Jumeirah Al Qasr. Valet parking is fine but then you have to make your way to the buggy station or Abra station which can be busy during evenings as it was during our visit and the Jumeirah managing staff at these stations is not rude but not polite either. Its a very inefficient way to get to the place and expect a wait time of 10 to 15 minutes standing in the heat and in a que till your buggy or abra ride arrives. This was the most annoying part of our visit to Atrangi. 2. Ambience and Service - Perhaps the only highlight of our visit was the welcoming ambience and good service provided by our server Prashant. He was attentive and made some good suggestions for the appetizers, main course and the drinks. Ambience is pretty good with spaced out interiors and comfortable seating. 3. Food - In summary, disappointing and over rated. We ordered a bunch of small plates / starters and none of them is worth mentioning. Fleeting mention of bite sized Chola Bhatura which was flavorful but gone with the blink of an eye. Disappointment was carried over with the main course as well, nothing worthy to mention other than Pumpkin Kofta which probably was the highlight of the evening. Food is not Bad, but it's nothing exciting and is strictly average which is not expected from a fine dining place which charges a bomb for the bit sized portions. Conclusion - Good Ambience, good service, strictly average food, inefficient access to the restaurant. What to expect? - Long wait for the buggy / abra (not under restayrants control), Bite sized portions, strictly average food, and a hole in your wallet. Dubai's fine dining scene is flooded with good restaurants many of them with actual michelin stars and not just 'michelin listed' as claimed by some of the websites for this place. Don't think I will repeat my visit to Atrangi soon as there are so many other and much better options available.
