What to Eat at Taste Studio Bistro 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 Taste Studio Bistro, 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
Check Timing. For the lunch buffet, one review lists weekdays from 12–3; confirm the current schedule before going.
Ask Buffet Contents. If you want plenty of vegetable or rice choices, ask what is being served that day, since one diner found those options limited.
Try Espresso Lassi. The espresso lassi is an unusual drink option worth asking for alongside lunch; one reviewer found it rich, creamy and refreshing.
Plan Meetings. For a small gathering or business meeting, consider the venue’s larger area rather than treating it only as a quick coffee stop.

The Bottom Line
Taste Studio Bistro is a café, lounge and casual restaurant in Dubai Internet City, with à la carte dining and a daily lunch buffet. It suits a coffee morning, an informal meal or a team lunch, and reviews also mention enough room for get-togethers and business meetings. The clean, professional setup offers a welcome alternative to the area’s standard fast-food chains.
The buffet is the main draw for many diners: reviews describe plenty of variety, fresh and flavourful food, and Filipino-style fish and chicken that were especially tender. There is one important counterpoint: a diner found only a few vegetable mains and two rice dishes, so it is sensible to ask about the day’s selection if those matter to you. The espresso lassi is a distinctive drink to look for, while coffee, lattes and cheesecakes also receive positive mentions.
The atmosphere comes across as warm, cozy and calm rather than rushed, making it comfortable for chatting or a relaxed lunch. A reviewed buffet schedule listed weekdays from noon to 3pm, though you should confirm that timing before visiting. Customer-reported lunch prices ranged from 50 to 58 dirhams, while another review mentioned an unlimited lunch for two at AED 99; these are past review prices, not a current menu guarantee.
