Kids love superheros? Grab a table for lunch at this colourful eatery where the walls are adorned with loads of cartoons depicting Star Wars characters, Avengers and more.
The menu is brilliantly designed to look like a comic book. We’re already in love with this place before we even order.
We’re here on a weekend morning and are looking forward to a late breakfast.
When the food starts arriving, chaos breaks out at our table. The kids in our group are very excited by the pancakes, which come with chocolate Batman and Iron Man stencils on the plates.
While the little ones fight over who gets each one we’re more interested in the food.
The good news is the pancakes are excellent. Thick, fluffy and soaked in chocolate and syrup, they go down a treat.
Equally enjoyable is the Hulk avo smash which comes in a massive portion (much like the Marvel character himself) and is loaded with avocado and soft eggs. We also order a thick slab of banana French toast, which is a real showstopper – sweet and indulgent.
The highlight, however is the benny brisket. An English muffin is topped with succulent pulled beef and soft, runny eggs. It’s absolutely exquisite.
So, with substance as well as style in abundance, Geek Kitchen Restaurant is the hero we never knew we needed.
Open daily 7.30am-10.30pm. Off Sultan Bin Zayed The First Street, Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi (20 449 3330).
