About Otantik
At Otantik Café & Restaurant, we bring the authentic flavors and traditions of the Mediterranean to the heart of Abu Dhabi. Our story is rooted in a passion for sharing the rich culinary heritage of the Mediterranean with the UAE’s vibrant and diverse community. Whether you’re here for a meal with family, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a moment to yourself, Otantik offers a space where delicious food and warm hospitality come together.
Our Journey
-- 2017
Otantik Café was founded with a vision to bring authentic Mediterranean cuisine to the UAE. In 2018, we opened our first branch, Otantik 1, in Al Zahiyah (formerly known as the Tourist Club Area) in Abu Dhabi, quickly becoming known for serving the best Mediterranean dishes.
-- 2020
Just two years after the success of our first location, we opened our second branch, Otantik 2, in Khalidiya, Abu Dhabi, further establishing our presence in the city.
-- 2022
This year marked a major turning point for Otantik Café. With the success of our Al Zahiyah and Khalidiya branches, we expanded beyond Abu Dhabi. We opened a new branch in Al Wadha, Abu Dhabi. We also launched our centralized facilities, ‘The HUB’ at Deerfields Mall, Abu Dhabi.
-- 2023
In just six years, Otantik Café has expanded to five successful branches across the UAE. Our growth continues with the opening of Otantik 6 at the Al Rahba Greenhouse Project in Abu Dhabi, a new and exciting destination.

Our mission is to celebrate the Mediterranean way of life. From the fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish to the inviting ambiance of our restaurants, we aim to create an experience that feels like a journey across the Mediterranean.
