The Good Stuff
Breakfast Spread
Breakfast has been described as a large buffet with a wide range of choices.
Indian Buffet
The Indian night buffet has earned praise for its food and family-friendly appeal.
Attentive Service
Several reviews describe the service team as friendly, helpful and attentive, even during busy periods.
Quiet Setting
One review appreciated the balanced variety and a dining room that was not loud.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Format. Ask whether your booking is buffet or à la carte; one visit expected a buffet but received an à la carte menu.
Check Cuisine. For Iftar, confirm the actual cuisine in advance because one Arabic-cuisine booking did not match what was served.
Mind Spice. If you avoid heat, check the Indian buffet menu first; one review found almost every dish spicy.
Plan Parking. Allow extra time for parking: hotel parking was available, but one diner found it difficult to use.

Common Concerns

The Bottom Line
Spices Restaurant is an all-day buffet venue in Al Mamzar where you can book breakfast, Indian-themed dinners, seafood brunches or Ramadan Iftar. The strongest reviews are specific: breakfast has been called a wide-ranging spread, while seafood brunch guests singled out beef brisket, grilled vegetable salad and seafood thermidor. Indian night also has a loyal following.
Service is the steadier part of the experience. Reviewers repeatedly describe the team as friendly and attentive, and one diner liked the spacious seating and another the fact that the room was not loud. That makes it workable for family meals or a relaxed gathering, although the ambience itself has also been called standard or below average.
The main caution is inconsistency. Some Iftar visits found a tasty international and Lebanese selection, while others reported very limited, cold or poorly prepared food. Sunday lunch has also been criticised for weak variety, and buffet containers were reportedly slow to refill.
À la carte orders can take time too, including one burger wait of almost an hour. Before booking, confirm whether your visit is buffet or à la carte and ask what cuisine is planned. Iftar prices reported by customers include AED 119 per head; parking is available through the hotel but may take patience.
