Dining & Culinary Culinary delights abound at The Oberoi, where the flavours of Morocco, India, and the Mediterranean converge in a symphony of sensory pleasures at the hotel’s three restaurants; Rivayat, Tamimt and Azur. Each experience is a masterclass in the art of dining. The Oberoi says that Rivayat, “is an ode to India’s many culinary traditions and delights, elevated to unprecedented levels of refinement and innovation.” The mentor for Rivayat is the Michelin-starred chef Rohit Ghai, a connoisseur of the heritage of Indian cuisine, and as such, Rivayat promises guests an enchanting experience, a journey to the very essence of Indian flavours. Breakfast and is a lavish affair at the Tamimt restaurant, featuring a dazzling array of cold-pressed juices, artisanal cheeses, and traditional Berber specialties alongside à la carte options. Lunch is equally impressive and serves Mediterranean, Indian and International cuisines using the best locally sourced ingredients and fresh seasonal produce from the organic garden. You can dine indoors with a view of the gourmet show kitchen or at the al fresco terrace with views of the Atlas Mountains. For a light lunch with a view of the pool it’s Azur, where you can dine under the frescoed domed ceiling or on the open air terrace. This ambient restaurant offers a specially curated menu of light and healthy meals throughout the day. Beyond the formal dining venues, guests can also indulge in private in-villa feasts, hosted by the resort’s talented team of chefs. From Moroccan barbecue under the stars to decadent afternoon tea spreads, these bespoke experiences allow visitors to savour the finest local produce and time-honoured recipes in the comfort of their own secluded haven. Wellness & Leisure At the heart of The Oberoi’s wellness offerings lies a cavernous spa—a tranquil sanctuary that spans 2,000 square metres and is located on a waterbody within the orchards. Here guests can surrender to the restorative powers of carefully curated rituals and therapies. Here, in this haven of tactile pleasures and sensory indulgence, the stresses and of the outside world melt away, replaced by a profound sense of inner peace and rejuvenation. Simply Abu Dhabi | 199
