What to Eat at Celsius Restaurant 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 Celsius Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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
Check themes. Ask which buffet theme is running before booking; Friday was Asian Night, with sushi, tom yum and seafood dishes.
Try breakfast. For breakfast, look for the cooked-to-order omelet alongside the wider traditional, healthy and international selection.
Confirm surcharges. If using a voucher during Ramadan, confirm any seasonal surcharge when reserving; one diner said it was not disclosed on the call.
Allow valet time. If driving at a busy time, allow extra time for valet collection because one review describes severe parking delays.
Use offers. Check whether an Entertainer offer applies; one Friday visit reported 125aed including beverages through the offer.
Try dessert. Banana Crumble was singled out as an outstanding dessert during a celebration dinner.

The Bottom Line
Celsius Restaurant is an all-day buffet restaurant in Trade Centre, with breakfast, lunch and dinner suited to both casual meals and group occasions. The strongest reason to consider it is the range of themed and seasonal dining: reviews mention an international buffet, Friday Asian Night with sushi and tom yum, Thursday’s Arabic-themed buffet, and Ramadan iftar. Breakfast also includes a cooked-to-order omelet.
The restaurant is frequently described as warm and accommodating, including for birthdays, anniversaries and larger groups. Reviews mention complimentary cakes, birthday music and attentive help during celebrations. The setting is described as peaceful or cosy, and some tables have a view of the Museum of the Future.
Complimentary valet parking has also been reported, although an older review warns that collection can take a long time when the valet area is crowded. There are a few reasons to check the details before booking. Several diners found the main-course selection limited, while one recent visit reported below-average buffet food, slow service and flat soft drinks.
Dessert choice was also said to have declined over time. If you are using a voucher during Ramadan, confirm any surcharge in advance. A Friday visit recorded an Entertainer price of 125aed including beverages, but this should be treated as a customer-reported past price rather than a current rate.
