Went to Ushna with friends who are regulars and we were seated promptly in the best table in the house. The picture window framed the Grand Mosque like a post card. We had a wide variety of dishes, including the special lamb dish, and they were all very good. The paneer stood our for me as it had a little... More

I would never normally go for a curry when on holiday but was recommended this restaurant and so glad we went. The location is really good and the view from outside over the mosque is stunning at night. I would say this was one of the best curries i have ever had. The service was very impressive too and we...

An inside and outside venue. Outside overlooks the sea, but is a smoking area. Inside can be quite chilly, although they will bring pashmina's to keep you warm. The staff are attentive and friendly. The way to get the amount you need with the choice (f you do not know what to choose) is to tell them what you do/don't... More

Visited Ushna tonight for dinner, we're staying at the Fairmont so it's just next door. Have to say cannot fault anything! The service friendly & impeccable, got everything right from politeness to timeliness. The food was all wonderful from the complimentary breads, palate cleanser & chocolates after the meal to what we actually ordered. The tandoori mixed platter we shared... More

Went there for a business dinner - all three of us were very impressed. Great service, menu and food (gourmet Northern Indian). The recommendations were spot on and perfectly done. Sauces were excellent as were the breads. The view is wonderful (Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Ritz Carlton) and we all agreed that this was a great choice. I live in AD... More

I had dinner at Ushna very recently following a recommendation from a friend who lives in Abu Dhabi. It is marketed as an upscale/gourmet Indian restaurant, and whilst I am usually apprehensive of such places - I am of Indian origin and quite sceptical of what can often be watered down Indian food - I was surprisingly impressed with the...

I was in this restaurant 1 week ago. The place is very nice and the decor let you think that you are in the right place. The surprise is the service and the quality of food. It is just average. Nothing to justify the bill. Very poor experience. I will not be back.
