VERY noisy, very busy, very fast service - the scenic spot is the main dining hall... Food is fine though not memorable, service is "busy" and pricing adequate. An ever busy weekend spot.

On a 3 day visit to Dubai, we were recommended Buddha Bar as somewhere worth eating. Our table was at 9 pm at which time the place was pretty busy. We were giving a table for 2 in the main restaurant area next to the floor to ceiling glass windows. The tables are nicely spaced apart and you get some... More

Our friends treated us to dinner at the Buddha Bar in Dubai and it was a great experience! The service was top class, decor super-stylin', food amazing, music groovy. We couldn't help but feel like kings and queens with the car valet service, beautiful people, flash sports cars and great weather. This was an experience we'll not forget!

What a wonderful all round experience. The food, ridiculously good especially the black cod and the crispy chicken salad. The service is impeccable. The giant gold Buddha is beautifully imposing. I can't wait to go back!!

A nice place to grab a drink in a city where consuming alcohol is not possible in restaurants. The music is good, the drinks are great, however I haven't tasted the food. It's a trendy place that get really crowded. Careful, for the few of us Europeans no longer used to smoking in bars... Definitely doesn't apply here... Two cigar... More

In fairness - probably down to my age. £8 a small bottle of beer - gave the equivalent of a tenner and never saw the barman again. Stupidly loud music and full of people smoking. Got out as quickly as possible
