Incredible place. One of the best food experiences that we have ever had. Indian food taken to another level. I really loved the Papad sampler that was given with a Mango achaar Hummus. My wife ordered an Amouse bouche that came with a pumpkin coconut soup, Basundi served in an orange peel, Chole, Naan, Paneer and fish starter. I ordered for a Lamb chop. All of this was seriously amazing. The waiters explain the dish before they serve it to you. We also really loved our drinks. Overall, a great experience.

We celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. We reserved a table for the evening at the Emirates Palace location, which offers a stunning setting. Upon arriving at the Emirates Palace Hotel, we made our way to the restaurant, where Reena warmly welcomed us and arranged our seating. Pradeep and Sushanth took excellent care of the menu and food service, ensuring we had a delightful dining experience. We enjoyed a variety of starters, main courses, and desserts, along with refreshing cocktails. The ambiance, views, and elegant corridors added to the charm of the evening. We chose to sit outside in the corridor, which enhanced our experience even further. Reena went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and even made special arrangements for the occasion. Our guests had a great time, and the hospitality provided by Reena and her team was good. This restaurant is truly a fantastic choice for special occasions in Abu Dhabi, offering delicious Indian cuisine and outstanding service. Overall, it was a memorable evening with great food and impeccable hospitality.

Martabaan truly impressed with its delicious, authentic Indian cuisine. Every dish was a flavor explosion, showcasing the chef's skill and passion. However, the service was a bit inconsistent, with long delays and lack of attentiveness. Despite this, the food alone makes Martabaan worth a visit. Would definitely return for another flavorful experience, hoping for improved service next time.

We recently visited Martabaan at Emirates Palace for the second time to celebrate our anniversary, and while the food had its highs and lows, the exceptional service truly made it an evening to remember. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Sushant and Riya, who greeted us with flowers—a lovely personal touch. Riya escorted us to our table, which offered a stunning view of the palace, setting a perfect tone for the evening. Sushant's service was impeccable. He went above and beyond, personally preparing a hot toddy that was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring we had a memorable experience was remarkable. As for the food, though the chicken tikka could have been better based on our experience earlier , the mushroom dish, jacket potato, chicken Biryani and the dessert - tiramisu were winning dishes of the evening That said, the warmth and attentiveness of the staff, especially Sushant and Riya, more than compensated for the food’s shortcomings. Their hospitality left us with wonderful memories of our special day. The overall experience and exemplary service are reasons we’d still recommend Martabaan for a special occasion.
