About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
The restaurant is designed to recall an airy Bedouin tent, offering a delectable array of Middle Eastern favourites and stunning views of the Palace grounds.

Mezlai creates dishes with ingredients derived from the sea, mountains, oases and desert that evoke the region. The menu features decadent updates on staples of the Arabian diet accenting expected ingredients, such as za’atar, camel and dates, and introducing the unexpected flavours of saffron, rosewater and hand-picked wild oregano.

A meal in Mezlai is a window into Arabic culture, a warm welcome to the long history of Arabian hospitality and a journey into flavours as old as the sands of time, which taste as fresh and inspired as this city of tomorrow. No stopover in Abu Dhabi is complete without sampling the local flavours and dining as the locals do.

    Food tasted great, staff were great, setting was great and nice to get a Fans of MO gift at the end. A nice ending to a perfect stay at the Emirates Palace by Mandarin Oriental. Well done

    Food and value for money is awesome, however the service is not in line with a 5 star restaurant. Poor attention and very quick to kick you out.

    Very beautiful restaurant with good service and excellent food. A little pricey, but to be expected in light of the location in Emirates Palace.

    A wonderful place to dine! Special request for celiac guest that was attending. They made fresh gluten free bread and altered the falafel. You can’t beat the service and get what you pay for. Hope to visit again in the future. Thanks for everything, much appreciated, from your Canadian friends!
