First Chipotle in Abu Dhabi opens its doors at Yas Mall

From burritos to bowls, CHIPOTLE now serves its famous flavors in the capital.

Chipotle

With over 3,800 restaurants worldwide and a strong following across the GCC, CHIPOTLE has built a reputation for fresh, real ingredients and bold flavors that hit just right. The brand is steadily expanding in the region too, with six locations already open in the UAE and Kuwait, and a seventh set to launch in Qatar this September. Now, Yas Island finally gets to join the flavor party.

Why Yas Mall is buzzing

Located right next to Ferrari World, the brand-new CHIPOTLE is impossible to miss. Step inside, and you’re greeted with that signature warm, lively vibe, bright, bustling, and all about the food.

The star of the show? You build it, your way. From customizable burrito bowls to loaded tacos, stacked burritos, and fresh salads, the experience is as interactive as it is delicious. Think: perfectly grilled chicken, tender beef barbacoa, fluffy cilantro-lime rice, creamy guac, fresh salsas, and just the right amount of spice.

How to CHIPOTLE like a pro

Ordering here is an experience in itself. Here’s how to master it:

  1. Pick your base – Burrito, bowl, taco, or salad.
  2. Choose your protein – Grilled chicken, steak, barbacoa, sofritas, or veggies.
  3. Load it up – Rice, beans, salsas, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, guac (always worth it).
  4. Make it yours – Extra spice? Double protein? Go for it.

The best part? Every ingredient is prepared fresh in-store, daily. No shortcuts, no artificial flavor, just real food made for real.

The app that makes life easier

Not in the mood to queue? The CHIPOTLE App has you covered. Order ahead, skip the line, and simply pick up your meal. Plus, with the AURA loyalty program, every order earns you points (yes, even guac counts). Delivery is also rolling out soon, so keep an eye out.
