A New Culinary Destination on Yas Island

Brooklyn Chop House Abu Dhabi will replace two former dining establishments on Yas Island, the Indian restaurant Angar and the Italian eatery Amici, promising to elevate the island’s luxury dining scene. Located at the W Abu Dhabi—Yas Island, the world’s only hotel built over a Formula 1 racetrack, the restaurant is poised to attract both locals and international visitors looking for a world-class culinary experience.

The restaurant’s menu will reflect its New York origins, offering an array of creative dishes that combine the best of both worlds.
