“Chicken Shawarma⭐ – The bread was old, and there was too much of it. It would be better to remove it from the Iftar menu.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 4

Check availability. If arriving after Iftar starts, ask which stations are still operating; one diner found several advertised dishes unavailable.

Ask for grill. Ask specifically for the Arabic grill rather than assuming it will be visible on the buffet.

The Bottom Line

taste is a hotel restaurant in Al Barsha where the main draw is buffet dining rather than a single signature dish. You can choose from rotating themes: international cuisine Sunday to Wednesday, Arabic food on Thursday, Indian food on Friday and Filipino food on Saturday. The live stations are worth seeking out, with reviews mentioning tikka, kebabs, chicken, fish and freshly prepared pasta or risotto.

The Filipino “Flavours of Pinas” evenings stand out for their range of dishes such as Kare-kare, Pinakbet, Ihaw-ihaw, Sinigang and Filipino sweets. Iftar also gets strong praise for its choice, live lamb roast and shawarma stations, desserts and attentive service. Breakfast has pleased some repeat visitors, though one review found its variety and quality disappointing.

Atmosphere is generally described as calm, clean and comfortable, with lounge or jazz music. Complimentary basement parking is available, but the spaces are described as tight. Service is often a highlight, although late orders and inconsistent attention appear in some reviews.

If you are visiting for Iftar or a themed buffet, check what is available on arrival and ask directly for the Arabic grill; one diner found it was only brought out when requested. Reported prices include 99 aed for an adult buffet and 59 AED for unlimited soft drinks with a Filipino buffet.
