Book brunch. Choose Saturday brunch if you want the live stations, BBQ selection and live entertainment that reviews repeatedly highlight.
Request mild. If you are sensitive to heat, ask about spice levels before ordering; one visit found even the salad too spicy.
Arrive early. For sunset views, arrive earlier rather than relying on a late brunch seating.
Check seating. In summer, outdoor seating may not be available; ask about terrace availability and canal views when booking.
Use hotel parking. For driving, use the Radisson Blu basement parking, but expect a somewhat tight space.
Plan the visit
| Mon | 12:00 PM – 1:00 AM |

One visit found four small appetizers excessively spicy, including the salad, making them difficult to eat.
The BAI platter was described as too small for a hungry diner.
An outdoor lunch review says the food was good but the bill took a while to arrive.
One older dinner review reported undercooked chicken and an unimpressive margarita pizza.
A repeat diner felt prices could be high, although occasional special offers helped justify a visit.
The Bottom Line
BAI Bar & Terrace is a canal-side restaurant-bar in Business Dubai, with an outdoor terrace, lounge seating, shisha and views towards Downtown. The biggest reason to book is the Saturday brunch: reviews describe live cooking stations, an all-you-can-eat BBQ spread, tacos and live music. Brisket, ribs, burgers, grilled cod and chicken wings all receive specific praise, while the varied starters make it workable for seafood and vegetarian diners too.
The terrace is the star setting. During cooler weather, it overlooks Dubai Canal and can frame the Burj Khalifa; evening reviews mention sunsets, city lights and a relaxed atmosphere. The music is generally described as lively but manageable, and a large screen makes the indoor lounge useful for watching sports.
Cocktails and beer are also recurring positives for a casual night out. There are a few reasons to check details before ordering. One diner found four small appetizers, including the salad, far too spicy, and another found the BAI platter undersized.
Service is usually described as quick and attentive, but an outdoor lunch guest waited for the bill. Summer seating may be indoors with only a partial canal view. Drivers can use basement parking at the Radisson Blu, though the spaces are tight; navigation is easier if you pin the hotel rather than the bar.
