‪smoking Doll‬ - أبو ظبي

Being on a short weekend break in Abu Dhabi with the family and staying at Reem Island, the owner of the apartment had recommended this Asian restaurant walking distance from the accommodation. To be honest, just wanted to try it for the name alone : You absolutely have to take a small selection of starters, each come with different dipping sauce that are absolutely smashing For main we took two of the signature specialty dishes the first one was a sushi roll with avocado and eel which was a combination I had not have before, the second was slow cooked short rib curry the sauce was absolutely AMAZING! Overall the food was very pleasant and leftovers could be easily taken home, the next day the curry tasted even better! The only negative point I would be able to add is to say that the terrace isn't very welcoming a bit dark and gloomy.

The Smoking Doll is an innovative Asian fusion restaurant which is doing a fabulous job at bringing the Far east to the Middle East! The warm and welcoming interiors coupled with our cheerful waitress started off our experience to a great start. They started us off with a portion of complimentary prawn crackers which was definitely required as the rest of the food took forever to arrive. The starters were brought along with the main course for some reason. Apart from this little slip, the rest of the meal went well. Our order consisted of Larb Ped for starters and a portion of Chicken Pad Thai and Pad Khaprao Khai Dao for the main course. The Larb Ped is a roll made of duck breast tossed with greens and herbs, wrapped in a rice sheet, this one was a crowd-pleaser! The roll was bursting with flavor and crunch. My friend ordered the Pad Thai and found it to be rather bland, I on the other hand loved my main course! The beef was cooked perfectly and complimented the rice really well! We were too full for dessert though, shall try that out next time.

When I crave for Thai-Jap food I always come here. Service is fast and food is good. I love that it is conveniently located near to our apartment in Reem Island.

This place is a must go to... Great food for the price point... And lovely staff.. Have to mention that Ravi the manager was really genuine and their service is exceptional. Will definitely come back again.

Food was really good, we had a lovely experience and would definitely go back again. Everything we tried was yummy. We had one portion of soup and splitted it and it was more than enough for one person. Noodles was really good however the amount of noodles compared to veggies is too minimal I’d ask for extra noodles les vegetables next time. Prices are very reasonable and we got FAZAA discount as well. Highly Recommended
