What to Eat at Royal Majlis, Emirates Golf Club 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 Royal Majlis, Emirates Golf Club, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Royal Majlis, Emirates Golf Club, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. For Iftar, allow extra time at arrival and departure because one review reported logjams around the fixed mealtime rush.
Check weather. Check the forecast before booking an outdoor evening; a review says weather is critical because the venue is entirely outdoors.
Confirm basics. If dates or laban matter to you at Iftar, ask about them before the fast breaks; one guest reported delays and unavailability.
Ask vegetables. Vegetarian diners should ask what hot dishes are available, as one review called for more hot vegetarian options.

The Bottom Line
Royal Majlis is an event space at Emirates Golf Club in Emirates Hills, with reviews centred on its Ramadan Iftar buffet and outdoor evening setting. You can come for a group Iftar, a family meal or a corporate gathering, with the golf-course views and illuminated Majlis adding much of the appeal. Food highlights mentioned by guests include lamb ouzi, lamb chops, salads, desserts and hammour fish.
Several diners describe the buffet as delicious, well arranged and varied, while others found the main courses average or disappointing. The experience appears to vary by occasion: one review reported undercooked meat, poor chicken, disappointing pasta and shawarma, and lamb chops that lacked both quality and quantity. Service is frequently described as attentive and accommodating, but the fixed Iftar rush has caused practical problems.
One guest reported queues for food and logjams on arrival and exit. Another had to repeatedly ask for dates and found that laban was unavailable, so it is worth confirming those basics beforehand. This is an entirely outdoor venue, making the weather an important part of the decision.
Overall, it suits visitors prioritising atmosphere, views and group dining, provided they are comfortable with buffet-style service, possible queues and uneven food feedback.
