If you have ever eaten a heavy lunch at your desk and lost the rest of the afternoon to it, you will know that lunch matters more than it seems. At Pho7, the business lunch is AED 59 for a starter, a main dish and a drink. It is served Monday to Friday, from 11:30am to 3pm, including public holidays, at our Khalifa City and Danat branches.
It is built for a working day: fresh, balanced and quick to enjoy. Let’s look at what is on it, why Vietnamese food makes a lighter lunch, and what to order when you have an afternoon to get through.
Where can I get a light lunch near the office in Abu Dhabi?
Pho7 serves a business lunch for AED 59 at two branches in Abu Dhabi: Khalifa City and Danat. You choose one starter, one main dish and one drink from a set menu, Monday to Friday between 11:30am and 3pm.
Most of the menu is built on broth, rice, rice noodles and fresh herbs. That makes it a lunch that fills you up without weighing you down.
That is why so many guests treat it as their weekday lunch rather than an occasional treat.

Why does a Vietnamese lunch feel lighter?
Vietnamese cooking leans on broth, rice, fresh herbs and lime rather than cream, butter and heavy sauces. That is the main reason a Vietnamese lunch tends to leave you satisfied rather than sleepy.
A bowl of pho is a clear broth with rice noodles, sliced meat and a plate of herbs on the side. You add the herbs, lime and chilli yourself, so the bowl is as fresh or as warming as you want it to be.
Three things keep it light:
- Broth instead of cream-based sauces
- Rice noodles and steamed rice instead of bread and pastry
- Fresh herbs and lime added at the table
This is why pho has always been an everyday meal in Vietnam, not just a special one.
What should I order for a light business lunch?
For the lightest lunch, order the Fresh Spring Rolls with a Traditional Pho or a Chicken Pho, and water.
Fresh spring rolls are wrapped in rice paper and filled with herbs, so they make a cool, crisp start. A bowl of pho then gives you a warm, filling main without a heavy feeling afterwards.
If you want something more filling, pair the Fried Shrimps with the Fried Rice or the Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp. If you fancy something new, try one of the three new dishes on the set: the Black Pho, the Shrimp Vermicelli Noodle Soup or the BBQ Chicken with Rice.
Please tell your server about any allergies. The Nasi Goreng contains nuts.
Can I fit a Pho7 lunch into a short lunch break?
Yes. The business lunch is a set menu, so ordering takes a minute, and you can book your table in advance on WhatsApp so it is ready when you arrive.
If you need to eat on the move, there is also the Banh Mi Grab & Go: any signature Vietnamese banh mi with a chilled soft drink for AED 35. It is takeaway only, at both branches, and is not available for delivery.
That means there is a Pho7 lunch for a long break and a short one.
Is the business lunch available at both Pho7 branches?
Yes. The AED 59 business lunch is served at both Pho7 Khalifa City and Pho7 Danat, Monday to Friday from 11:30am to 3pm, including public holidays.
To book, message the branch nearest your office:
Lunch does not have to cost you the afternoon. A bowl of pho, a fresh starter and a cold drink, for AED 59, is a better way to spend your break. See all our current offers on the What’s On page.
