We have visited the new restaurant "Ryba," which captivated us with its wonderful atmosphere and impressive dishes! The interior is striking in its elegance and modernity: light colors and sophisticated décor create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner or a friendly get-together! The restaurant's menu deserves special attention. It offers a wide selection of the freshest fish and seafood dishes: fish, mussels, and crabs prepared to the highest standards and served with love. The unique interpretation of traditional Middle Eastern recipes, embodied in modern culinary traditions, is truly delightful. Each dish surprises with a combination of flavors and textures, offering a true gastronomic pleasure. We would like to express special thanks to the staff. They are attentive, polite, and ready to help with choosing food and drinks. The calm and cozy atmosphere allows you to enjoy every moment of your stay. We definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant to anyone who appreciates high-quality cuisine and a pleasant stay!

Ryba in Abu Dhabi is an absolute delight! The restaurant decor is beautiful and creates a lovely atmosphere, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic, especially the Ryba sea bass with lemon rice, which we absolutely loved. At the end of the meal, we were treated to complimentary berry granitas that were amazing. We can’t wait to return the next time we visit Abu Dhabi!

Allegedly best seafood restaurant in Abu Dhabi, so after Catch, Fish Market at Intercontinental and great eateries at actual fish market at Mina Zayed, my expectations were high. Well, while service was very good (but not amazing- e.g. waiter brought grilled shrimps which MUST be served hot at once, but he set them aside and wasted 10 minutes on fixing salads, so shrimps came just warm), the food was not amazing at all and barely great. Crab/avocado salad was good, rocket salad very unexciting, shrimps were either overdone or after the freezer - not juicy at all, plus they were burned and peeling was very difficult - incomprehensible for prime fish restaurant. Octopus was good, though, but for main courses - sea bass was good but not more, you can easily get better fish at Al Shader, and biryani was also very good but not amazing. Even aircon is blowing straight to the heads, which should not be existing in the best restaurant. So overall it was a disappointment, as Michelin star and title of the best restaurant carries much of responsibility, which need to be supported.

The service is top notch. The creativity in the plates makes them unique, nothing tastes ordinary. I would not ask them to mix the rice and lobster for the Biriani. I would also skip the king crab salad as the dressing overcome the taste.

As you can see from the attached photos, the food here at Ryba is absolutely sensational, we came for a birthday lunch and can honestly say it waa without doubt one of the nicest meals we have ever eaten, highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this seafood restaurant, the shrimp was absolutely delicious and the sea bass was perfectly cooked with so much flavor. The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly, making the whole experience even better. I’m already looking forward to going back and trying the lobster biryani and the paella which both sound amazing.

I came to Ryba for one reason only: the passion fruit cheesecake — and it did not disappoint! It’s simply outstanding. The balance of sweet and tangy flavors is perfect, and the texture is just right. You can tell they’ve mastered this dessert with care and creativity. Highly recommended for cheesecake lovers!
