Moksh Abu Dhabi: Modern Indian Cuisine with Michelin Recognition

The Setting

At Moksh, inside the Conrad Etihad Towers on Abu Dhabi's West Corniche, the team describes their approach as “Fusing Global Panache into the Heart of Indian palate.” The dining room is designed to be both comfortable and striking—a space that feels intimate enough for a family dinner yet polished for a special occasion. With attentive service and a relaxed, less crowded atmosphere, it has become a favorite for quiet conversations and celebrations alike.

The Food

The menu is a curated tour of India’s regional diversity, from the fiery curries of Punjab to the aromatic biryanis of Hyderabad and the delicate seafood preparations of Kerala. Signature dishes include the Gold Tikka—boneless chicken morsels dusted with 24-carat gold flakes—Dynamite Koyla (charcoal-crusted Amritsari prawns), and Gunpowder Rib Eye, a heritage grain-fed rib eye with mild spices and smoked chipotle. Vegetarians are well served with offerings like Ragda Pattice and Chili Corn Samosa, while seafood options range from Scallop Molee to Lobster Piri Piri. The breads and sides, including Chura Paratha and Mushroom Cheese Kulcha, round out the experience.

Recognition

Moksh has earned its place on the world stage. It has been recommended by the Michelin Guide, and received a Time Out Award for Best Indian Restaurant in 2023, as well as a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best award. These honors reflect the kitchen’s commitment to authentic technique and high-quality ingredients, always with a modern twist.
