Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Turkey Takeaway 2023

And so the PartingtonTurkey Tour 2023 begins! This turkey takeaway was like none we'd ever had before - and believe me, we've had more than our fair share of birds over the years. Does that mean it was good? Yes, it certainly was!

The Bird

The turkey itself arrived plump and golden, with just the right amount of pull-away of the legs and wings and, once carved, proved tender and beautifully seasoned and spiced. Add a dollop of cranberry and a slosh of the beautiful, rich, dark gravy and hey presto! it's a feast!

The Stuffing

This gets its own paragraph out of respect: this is far and away not only the best but the most stuffing I've ever had - and that includes when I do my own! It was stuffed to the max with nutty and onion-y bready goodness and there was so much, we had turkey and stuffing sandwiches for Friday night dinner and there was still some left the next day. This was enough reason for me to order again!

Other veg

The mashed potatoes were smooth but not gluggy and came with puddles of maple syrup, making it even better than the norm. There were also snow peas and red cabbage to go with the well-cooked Brussels sprouts. As part of this package, there are also roast potatoes but there was a bit of a glitch and they didn't arrive so I can't report back.

And ... there were Yorkshire's! - just the sort of off-piste touch that isn't traditional but welcomed nonetheless. They were decently sized and had some hole action for pouring the gravy into. Superb!

If you're considering a turkey takeaway this festive season, Grand Hyatt's is a wee bit different and a lot fun - a good option.
