Booking Hakkasan Abu Dhabi — what to know

Hakkasan Abu Dhabi holds a Michelin star and sits inside Emirates Palace, which makes it the capital's formal dinner and the one visiting parties book first. Weekend dinners in season are placed a fortnight ahead; the four private dining rooms take the groups that the main room cannot.

How we book it

Send your date, party size and an indicative budget on WhatsApp and we confirm directly with the venue — typically within the hour during the season. Nothing is committed until you approve; if your first choice is full we come back with the closest genuine alternative in Abu Dhabi, never a downgrade dressed up.

Getting there & timing

Zayed International takes private jets with a dedicated terminal, and Al Bateen Executive Airport in the city is business aviation only. Dubai is about seventy-five minutes by road, so an Abu Dhabi table is a realistic evening from a Dubai base. Chauffeured cars and, for the Grand Prix weekend, helicopter transfers are arranged around the booking.

About Hakkasan Abu Dhabi

Hakkasan Abu Dhabi is the Cantonese restaurant inside Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental — sixteen thousand square feet of restaurant, bar, lounge and four private dining rooms in the palace hotel on the Corniche. It has held one Michelin star since the guide's Abu Dhabi debut and retained it in the 2026 edition. Dinner runs nightly from 6pm to 11:30pm; Fridays add a dim sum lunch and Saturdays a Cantonese set lunch, both from noon to 3:30pm, and the bar stays open until 1am, or 1:30am on Thursdays and Fridays.

The dress code is smart elegant — no sportswear, tracksuits, baseball caps or flip-flops. Table minimums are not published; private rooms are quoted on request.

Booking, the OF.luxury way

One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.
