Est. Abu Dhabi · Al Bateen
Behind the
navy door,
a quieter world.
DNA is a vintage game salon — hundreds of board games, a wall of comics, and a kitchen that takes dinner as seriously as your next move.
Two Rooms, One House
An evening, properly arranged.

What people say.
★★★★★
"Tucked behind a navy door, it feels like stepping into a Mediterranean parlour. We played Catan for hours over the most ridiculous lava cake."
★★★★★
"Easily the most charming spot in Al Bateen. The staff knew the rules to every obscure game I asked about. The risotto? Stunning."
★★★★★
"The bookshelf wall of comics is a whole vibe. Brought my niece — she didn't want to leave. Coming back for date night."
★★★★★
"Service is unhurried in the best way. Felt like a private library that happens to serve incredible eggs benedict."
★★★★☆
"Chess on the upper floor by the window with the black shutters — perfect light, perfect coffee, perfect afternoon."
★★★★★
"The french toast alone is worth the trip. The hundreds of games make it impossible to leave under three hours."
