Beautiful place and service. They went above and beyond to make it special as I went there on my birthday!

Afternoon tea at Emirates Palace is an experience in itself. The setting is absolutely stunning — grand, elegant and unmistakably luxurious — and makes the occasion feel special from the moment you arrive. The food was exquisite, beautifully presented and every bit as impressive as the surroundings. The staff were attentive, warm and professional throughout, without ever being intrusive. The signature cappuccino topped with gold is an absolute must and adds a wonderfully extravagant Emirates Palace touch! If you don’t drink coffee or tea, ask for the hot chocolate — a great alternative. A memorable afternoon in one of Abu Dhabi’s most spectacular settings. Highly recommended for a special occasion or simply when you want to indulge in a little luxury.

Booking this as a private experience with a transfer is the most efficient way to handle the logistics. Our driver was punctual and professional, so we arrived at the palace comfortable and ready for the afternoon. You can't visit Emirates Palace without sampling their specialty cappuccino topped with real 24-karat gold flakes. It is a breathtaking sight and a distinctive Abu Dhabi experience.

What stood out was how the staff observed our preference; they noticed my fiance preferred herbal tea over black tea and bought out a whole selection of loose leaf options to try. It is quite pricey, but for special occasion with your partner, it's worth it.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant but still comfortable. We glad our guide was with us he was super helpful explaining the palace, the traditions behind the tea, and the little things we would've totally missed on our own.

Beautiful place, majestic hallway. But that’s where it ends! The exterior Palace and gardens are phenomenal, unfortunately the interior setting makes you feel like your sat in mall. No view or windows to look out onto which would have been more like the burj, to us it’s misplaced. We wernt overly impressed with the afternoon t either, slightly overpriced and ordinary, I can only compare it to a uk poor mamma Doreen’s . Sadly we won’t go back as it’s not for us but this is only our POV.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We will pass your comments to the administration for their review and consideration.
Good service. Good food, too bad seating inside looking like a hallway with no view . Tea selection was great. Worth the $$ no. Been to others around the world a had better food and a lot less money

An amazing experience to celebrate my special birthday! Excellent value for money, outstanding service and an unforgettable experience. Have recommended this to many others already! Phyu was attentive, not pushy and gave us plenty of time to fully enjoy the experience. We left incredibly full. Thank you so much! Would definitely do it again.
