Description

Eat & Drink Restaurant is a modest multi-cuisine standalone located across the highway from The Cove Rotana, pitched at travellers and residents looking for an honest, affordable meal outside the resort bubble. The room is unpretentious - clean tables, open sight-lines into the kitchen, and a small private section suitable for family gatherings - and the kitchen runs visibly, which matters more than the setting. The menu stretches across Indian, Chinese and Arabic territory. Indian is the strongest section - butter chicken with freshly-baked naan and vegetable rice comes up repeatedly as a signature, and the tandoor dishes are well-seasoned. Chinese wok mains are dependable, while the Arabic plates (hummus and grills) are adequate rather than a reason to book. A juice bar turns out made-to-order blends that distinguish the lunch service from the mall food courts nearby. Prices are notably below both the resort and mall alternatives. Service quality varies, and a handful of guests report inconsistent hygiene and pacing during busier lunchtime services. It's straightforward food in a clean, functional room - not a polished dining experience. For a simple, value-led meal when the resort menu is feeling repetitive, or a quick lunch for travellers driving through Al Hamra, it's a workable option. Focus on the Indian side of the menu to see the kitchen at its best.

Huge delay for taking order and service. We had a family visit to Eat & drink Restaurant -Rak. We had very pathetic experience. We waited 30 minutes to place order. Another 40 minutes took for first partial service. Then taking 10-15 minutes for each item to reach on table. Waiters are too busy and doesn't have time to take care all customers.\n\nFood is good. Interiors are attractive. Its spacious, neat and clean restaurant. But don't expect food on time or good service. Nobody is even there to supervise or manage.

Right place for delicious lunch in RAK. Myself and friends visited Eat & Drink Restaurant after coming down Jebel Al Jais. Eat & Drink, being a familiar name to us from the 90's (especially for the Kerala Porotta), we came with the expectations.\n\nWe were satisfied to the fullest. The beef biriyani that we ordered was well cooked, rich in masala and in more than sufficient quantity. To summarize\n- Decent ambience inside the restaurant\n- Reasonably clean & maintained premises\n- Economical\n\n- Service could be a little more quicker & helpful but nothing to complaint about as perhaps staff were short during the holiday period.\n- It would be good to put in place a full time juice counter (or at-least during summer months).\n\nOverall, the right to place to head to if you are from outside RAK and prefer not to experiment.
