Picture this: a late-afternoon breeze off Mamsha Al Saadiyat, palms doing their subtle clapping, a plate of jerk chicken that makes your eyes do a happy squint — and a soundtrack that insists your weekend plans just got upgraded. Welcome to Ting Irie Abu Dhabi, where October cools the air and the island energy turns up the volume.
Whether you’re after a relaxed beachfront meal, a midweek escape, or full-on weekend revelry, Ting Irie pairs seaside views with Afro-Caribbean flavors, soulful beats, and a refreshed menu from Head Chef Tomlin. Think bold spices, comforting classics, cheeky twists, and a vibe that says: “stay a little longer.” Here’s the scoop on what’s happening all month long — with a sprinkle of wit and a dash of good sense (i.e., book a table).

Start your weekend the Ting Irie way: full belly, light feet.
Why go? (Because we’ll be honest.)
Ting Irie isn’t trying to be everything to everyone — it’s trying to be everything to anyone who loves good food, good music, and good times by the water. With Chef Tomlin’s refreshed menu, weekly themes that actually deliver, and a seaside setup that makes you feel like you’re on holiday (even if your out-of-office is a lie), it’s the kind of spot you tell your friends about because you want them to join in on the fun.
So: bring sunscreen for the earlier bits, bring glitter for Wednesday, bring your dancing shoes for Friday — and bring appetite. October in Abu Dhabi’s cooler air + Ting Irie’s island heart = plans worth cancelling other plans for.
