What to Eat at Buns & Cones - Dubai Silicon Oasis 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 Buns & Cones - Dubai Silicon Oasis, 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
Choose takeaway. Take food home rather than planning a long dine-in meal; one reviewer found the kitchen smoke unpleasant.
Check delivery. If ordering delivery, confirm timing before committing: several customers reported major delays and cancelled orders.
Expect compact portions. Plan for smaller burgers and fries, especially if you are very hungry or ordering for one.
Plan parking. If visiting in person, allow extra time to find parking, as one customer specifically reported a parking issue.

The Bottom Line
Buns & Cones is a casual burger spot in Dubai Silicon Oasis where the menu leans into burgers, sliders, hot dogs and cone-served sides. The clearest draws in the reviews are the Grand Master Wagyu Burger, Pineapple Express, Mushroom & Swiss burger and Dynamite Shrimps. The cone presentation also extends to cheesy fries and desserts such as Lotus ice cream.
Food feedback is mixed but specific. Several diners describe juicy, flavourful burgers, especially the Wagyu and pineapple versions, while others found the patties or chicken frozen-tasting, burnt or dry. Portion size is a recurring concern: some customers felt the burgers and fries were too small for the price, although one reviewer considered the pricing reasonable for a takeaway meal.
This works better as a takeaway burger joint than a destination for a long family meal. Seating is limited, and reviews mention kitchen smoke and ventilation problems. Staff are often described as friendly, but delivery is the biggest practical risk, with repeated reports of late or cancelled orders, cold food and incorrect items.
If you are visiting, check parking and consider eating elsewhere if the dining room feels smoky. For value, an Entertainer offer was reported at AED 65 for a buy-one-get-one-free iftar deal, though this is a past customer-reported price rather than a current menu guarantee.
