Central, Yas Bay BB+ Menu: Great Food & Amazing Value

Central in Yas Bay Waterfront is one of the only places in Abu Dhabi that has something for the whole family, and easily morphs in the evening to a great place to get drinks and casual food in Yas Bay - and it's fairly affordable too!

Better than that, Best Bites offers you the best bargain of all at Central, Yas Bay! ...

Guess what’s back with a brand new track?! Central’s BB+ menu! We know you guys LOVE this deal, and it’s had a little makeover, ready for you to dive right in for all your favourites once again! Everyone’s favourite Abu Dhabi destination for fun, games AND a great meal - and our go-to for keeping the kids entertained - we know this will be one of the most popular BB+ menus this season.

So what’s the deal? 

We all know that Central's food is designed to get the kids excited - and there's loads to choose from on the big menu, with everything from crazy shakes and funky burgers (yes, we love that bone in rib!) to delicious loaded fries and classic, fun desserts.

The BB+ menu let's you try a good selection of that! It’s simple: get a drink, a dish and AED100 arcade credits! If you’re an adult, this will set you back AED150. For kids, this insane deal is just AED100 - yes, you read that right, they basically get dinner and a drink for free! The only problem will be pulling them out of the arcade long enough to eat.

For the adults?

A massive ten options await for your dinner! Choose between pizzas, burgers, tasty Mexican - we absolutely love the tacos!, wings and even a decadent dessert (lotus cookie dough with ice cream and white chocolate, yes please)! We love the chicken wings - a good hit of heat with a tasty blue cheese dip - and the jerk spiced beef tacos with apple slaw are an instant hit. The classic burger is cooked to your liking - with a tasty truffle sauce and crispy curly fries on the side - and is rightfully a Central signature. 

Onto the drinks, the cocktails are top notch. We love the Mai Cen Tai and Peach @ The Central Beach. These are designed to please everyone and can be drunk in great quantities if the mood takes you!

If you're not in the mood for something quite so fancy, you can choose from a selection of wine, beer, spirits or a soft drink.

And the kids?

Have some fussy eaters? No worries - there are six yummy options to choose from, so they're sure to find something they like! Chicken nuggets, cheese quesadilla (this is a fan favourite) crudites & ranch dressing for the healthy metro-kids among us, tomato penne pasta, margherita pizza and a cheese burger are all on the menu to keep those energy levels topped up. Kids like the food and its completely accessible, with something to please everyone. If they will, we love that you can order a couple amongst a family and share.

Did someone say lemonade? Central do super fun lemonades with names as fun as the taste - (e-straw-ordin-berry, candy man or ginger bump) they’re hard to go past, and honestly a go-to for us big kids as well as the little ones! Classic shakes, soft drinks, juice or iced tea are also on the menu - if you’re a milkshake fan, their chocolate shake is delicious and hits the spot every time.

It’s arcade time! 

If you manage to save the arcade credits until after you eat, we’ll be impressed! Take your 100 credits and get ready to game up a storm against the neon backdrop of the arcade. All of the classics are there, and plenty of single and multi-player games: basketball, racers, virtual reality head sets, dance party, whack-a-mole, skill testers, claw games, air hockey and plenty more.  We've been known to hold adult tournaments on the air hockey table while the kids mooch around the arcade, collecting tickets to win prizes and extend their arcade stay even longer!

Super fun for all ages, we can easily pass more time than we care to admit competing for tickets and talking the talk about who’s going to take home a grand prize.

An afternoon or evening at Central is always time well spent! The vibe is great, the staff friendly, the decor funky and the arcade and bowling lanes so much fun. It’s a great date spot with a twist, so file it away for your next date night, and of course it’s perfect for families and kids of all ages. The drinks are delicious and the food even more so - parents and friends can relax and know the kids are well entertained in the arcade - and with the refreshed BB+ menu, it really is a no brainer for a fab evening in Abu Dhabi.
