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.

Wow!! I've been lucky enough to eat in a few fine dining establishments and I have to say Martabaan has been my favourite! From the moment you enter you feel welcomed by the excellently presented staff, the decor and ambiance is very classy but not overly. We sat on the balcony with views of the water and beach below, stunning! The food. We went for the Royal set menu which is 499AED per person and in my opinion was worth every penny - everything tastes amazing, this is not your average curry house. Expect the food to have elegance and subtle, yet distinct flavours. Truly a wonderful experience!!!
