Bushra by Buddha-Bar
For a laid-back midday bite with a view, Bushra’s business lunch is a solid go-to. Tucked along Yas Bay Waterfront, the space leans luxe but relaxed, with warm interiors and a menu that touch on elevated Middle Eastern flavours. The lunch deal keeps things simple: two courses and a drink for Dhs109, or upgrade to a glass of grape or bubbly for Dhs129. Good for catch-ups, casual meetings, or just switching up the usual lunch routine.
Location: Yas Bay Waterfront, Yas Island
Times: Monday to Friday, 1pm to 5pm
