On November 30, 2024, Brooklyn Chop House, the renowned Asian-fusion steakhouse, is making its international debut in Abu Dhabi, bringing a taste of New York’s vibrant culinary scene to Yas Island. Founded by music impresario Robert “Don Pooh” Cummins and partner David Thomas, this iconic dining destination will offer its signature blend of bold flavors and luxury dining, introducing the UAE to a unique fusion of traditional steakhouse favorites with Asian-inspired influences.
“We are thrilled to bring the vibrant essence of Brooklyn Chop House to Abu Dhabi. This opening is not just about introducing our signature blend of Asian-inspired steakhouse cuisine; it’s about creating a cultural fusion that reflects New York City’s energy while embracing the UAE’s warmth and hospitality,” said founders Robert Cummins and David Thomas. “We can’t wait to welcome guests to a dining experience that is as unforgettable as it is delicious.”
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. Diners can indulge in a variety of options, including dumplings, satays, soups, and salads, alongside their famous selection of premium steaks and chops. One of their most indulgent dishes—a steak priced at $189 (approximately AED 700)—is just a taste of the high-end experience guests can expect.
