‪khayal ‬ - أبو ظبي

I have had the opportunity to eat at this fine restaurant for the past five months and I am delighted to write this review for potential visitors to the Marriott Khayal Restaurant as it serves delicious fare with flare. Everyday I am graciously received by Anissa, Aillene, Nopur, Kevin, who kindly find a nice seat for me. My favorite meal at the Khayal Restaurant is breakfast. They have a wonderful selection of prepared to order dishes including salmon Eggs Benedict, omelets, eggs, and a vast selection of breakfast menu items. During the Covid pandemic the staff were the go between for the breakfast bar. They are always very attentive and eager to please the customer. I especially like their fresh juices and their daily rendition of healthy juice. One of my favorite things to order are poached eggs over Ful Madames, gladly prepared by Chef Hamid, who takes much pride in the cooking of the restaurant. French toast is another favorite prepared by Prasanna, Nuwan, or Prashant. I really like it when Prashant uses fresh whipped cream, blueberry compote, and real maple syrup. Maricris often goes beyond the call of service and offers me green tea with sliced ginger a great way to start the day. Dominic, Anissa, Salah, Aillene, Nopur are superb at going over to the lounge and asking Lino and Shantih to prepare a decaf cappuccino as well. Kevin, Max, Hamza, Sara, Jezra, and Mina all go out of their way each and every day to ensure that I had a great experience at the fruit bar, salad bar or dessert bar. One night I asked for a Tiramisu Ayman working with one of the dessert chefs named Halima especially prepared a batch that night for me. This happened again today when Akhil had the chef slice up some watermelon for me. The chefs at the Asian counter custom order the most wonderful Asian soups including Tom Yum and other varieties, depending on the night. I also enjoy asking them to prepare stir fry vegetables and often partake sampling seafood dim sum. Jitendra, Shovit, Putu, Jezra, Jinesh, and Kalendra, always serve with a smile and bring such positivity to their work, by engaging with clients, brightening the experience of many travelers who often eat alone. Even when the restaurant is busy the staff is so well trained and self directed that you 'd hardly notice the difference. Kazi, Antony, Anwher, and Sameem are the management team who fill in the gaps, ensuring a pleasing experience for those dining at Khayal. They set a positive tone and create an atmosphere of family and trust. They know that when the staff is happy, clients are happy. I remember when I was there the management staff created a wellness and mindfulness training for the staff I was very impressed by their attention to the needs of their team. If I haven 't mentioned someone, it is because I didn 't remember their name and not representative of their service and intention. I am very grateful for all the staff at the Khayal who have made a positive impact on my stay by their consistent attention to detail, initiative, rapport, and care for their customers at the Khayal. Thank you, Marc Mori
