What to Eat at EatNStay 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 EatNStay Restaurant, 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
Weekday lunch. Try the buffet lunch Monday to Friday, when reviews specifically highlight its variety and quality.
Check setup. Confirm the current dining arrangement before visiting, as one review reported room delivery instead of dine-in.
Group booking. For a team lunch or small event, ask about group lunch or catering bookings and available seating.
Vegetarian layout. If separating vegetarian and non-vegetarian food matters to you, ask how the buffet is arranged before serving yourself.
Parking available. If you are driving, allow for the available parking space at the hotel restaurant.

The Bottom Line
EatNStay is a multicuisine hotel restaurant in Dubai Industrial City that draws attention for its lunch buffet, Kerala-style dishes and flexible group dining. The buffet is the clearest reason to come: reviews describe plenty of variety, good taste and an AED28-per-person price. It has also been used for team lunches and small company gatherings.
The menu ranges from Indian and Chinese food to Kerala dishes, roti, biryani, continental plates and pasta. Biriyani and kappa biriyani receive specific praise, while vegetarian food is described as excellent. The Onam Sadhya is another standout, with one review praising its authenticity and noting that more than 100 meals were delivered on time.
The setting is generally described as clean, peaceful and spacious, with parking available. Reviews also mention 24/7 food service, though another visitor reported that dining was temporarily unavailable and orders were delivered to hotel rooms, so check the current setup first. Service is mixed.
Many guests found the staff warm and attentive, but others reported rude waiter behaviour. There are also complaints about half-cooked chicken and fish, and cold fried rice served after being forgotten repeatedly. If those details matter, inspect your order and raise issues promptly.
