Barbassi brings together the casual confidence of a European deli with the expressive flair of Japanese counter culture, crafting a bold yet intimate all-day venue. A distinctive handshake handle and retro-style stainless steel signage introduce a playful entry moment. While inside, a graphic ceiling and patterned flooring define spatial rhythms with clarity and charm. Timber datum lines and a sculptural stepped profile detail anchor the joinery, framing a central sandwich counter that doubles as a culinary showcase. Conceived from the outset as an audacious take on deli culture. Barbassi delivers a distinctly New York energy to the heart of Abu Dhabi. With its magnetic owner at the helm Raj Dagstani, known for his warmth, charisma and connection to community, the space is destined to become a vibrant local destination for food, conversation and culture.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
