About the restaurant

Kitchen6 in Business Bay offers one of the best buffets in Dubai. A feast for all the senses, watch as the chefs serve up a generous international buffet from six interactive cooking stations. Think Middle Eastern grilled skewers and piping hot wok-fried dishes. With breakfast, lunch and dinner bookings available throughout the week, enjoy a little bit of everything. The minimalistic, sleek dining space keeps the focus on the food and the action in the kitchens. Placed throughout the restaurant, wherever you sit, you’ll have a great view into the cooking stations, watching the chefs prepare, cook and plate all your favourite dishes.

About the restaurant

24th St. World Street Food – Dusit Thani Dubai in the DIFC is a bustling food hall that brings street food from around the world together. From Sichuan kung fu kung pao to Thai red curry, beef bulgogi to pepperoni pizza, everyone can find something they’ll love. Book the seafood fiesta on Saturdays and sit back as the staff pile your table high with fresh, local seafood. Alternatively, head here earlier in the day for the Saturday family brunch, with a wide range of brunch dishes and kid-friendly activities. The spacious, colourful dining area with views of the Burj Khalifa is the perfect weekend getaway.

Palm Jumeirah
About the restaurant

Liv – W Dubai The Palm in Palm Jumeirah is one of the best buffet restaurants in Dubai. The spacious, light-filled interior featuring splashes of colour and hanging decor leads out onto the decking and the beach and pool beyond. Book the dine and splash lunch or breakfast buffet package on OpenTable and get access to the WET DECK for a full day. The menu focuses on light, fresh dishes, making it perfect for an active day in the water and on the sand. Think ahi tuna carpaccio with artichoke and rosti potato or an avocado tartine with salmon. Add on a cocktail or a mocktail like the blame it on the mint, perfectly paired with a plate of vegetables and black garlic and almond hummus.

The selection from the various buffet stations was great, salad station and desserts being exceptionally varied and delicious. However, the grilled protein station, although a good selection, was very disappointing - incomplete order, undercooked chicken and over-cooked calamari. The service was attentive and, post complaining about the food received from the grill, the head chef was very apologetic - even brought us a custom chocolate plate to pacify our disappointment. Would I go back again, probably not as the highlight should have been the main course- which is a pity as the rest of the food was good and the hotel an amazing experience.

Al Jaddaf
About the restaurant

Market Place in Al Jaddaf offers one of the best buffets in Dubai for families. The international spread includes plenty of gluten-free and vegan options, so it’s easy for everyone to find something to enjoy. Depending on when you visit, you might encounter a themed night, celebrating the best of international cuisines. Arabesque night features dishes from Lebanon, Syria and beyond, while Mexican night promises to be a real fiesta. Kids aged between 6 and 12 eat for half price and kids under 6 eat for free, making this one of the best buffet deals in Dubai.
