What to Eat at B-Heaven by Barceló | Dubai How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For B-Heaven by Barceló | Dubai, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Prices. Confirm the breakfast price before travelling; one guest received different figures by phone and on arrival.
Arrive Early. For iftar, arrive early enough to avoid waiting for buffet refills and finding the dessert section partly empty.
Choose Outdoors. Ask for outdoor seating if skyline views and the poolside setting are a priority.
Check Brunch. Saturday brunch was reported as running from 1 pm to 4 pm, with buffet food, live stations and entertainment.
Use Valet. Valet parking is mentioned at the Barceló hotel, useful when visiting for brunch.

A guest was quoted 55 for breakfast by phone, then told the on-site price was 105.

The Bottom Line
B-Heaven by Barceló is a rooftop restaurant and pool lounge in Al Jaddaf built around outdoor dining, skyline views and a Mediterranean-Caribbean menu. You can come for a regular meal such as the B-Heaven Smashed Burger, or plan around the larger experiences that reviewers discuss most: the Ramadan iftar buffet and Saturday brunch. The brunch includes buffet stations, grilled meats and fish, live entertainment, and paella; one diner was especially taken with the lamb version.
The setting is a major part of the appeal. Reviews mention poolside cabanas, outdoor terraces, Burj Khalifa or Downtown Dubai views, DJs, live Arabic music and even salsa dancing. During one iftar, guests could use the pool beds until 10pm, making the evening feel longer than a standard buffet meal.
The atmosphere also works for a quieter evening, with soft lighting and music. Food feedback is mostly positive, but the iftar buffet has had uneven moments: slow refills, finished desserts, dry kofta and bland pasta were all reported. Check pricing in advance, especially for breakfast, after one guest was quoted 55 and then told the price was 105.
Reported brunch packages started at 199AED, or 399AED with premium alcoholic beverages; a separate iftar review cited 130 AED per person.
