What to Eat at The Burj 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 The Burj 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 The Burj Club, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

At the too dinner pairing Net −1
“The food was disgusting. Don’t buy the At the Too dinner pairing for 284 AED. Lentil soup was pumpkin colored soup with fried wonton skins. The sea-bass was fishy and rotting, even the curry couldn’t mask it. I spit it out and left without desert. You can tell by the bread: airline bread that’s heated up.”

“One of the worst food you will ever try in your life, it doesn’t worth a single Dirham for the quality they serve, the Cesar Salad is one of the cheapest salads you will ever eat, even they didn’t bother to cook the chicken on the salad they just gave it to you ice cold with the most disgusting Cesar dressing you will every taste.”September 2024
Tips for a Better Visit
Book Ahead. Reserve in advance, as one review explicitly says booking beforehand is a must.
Allow Extra Time. Arrive early for the route and queues; one guest suggests allowing about an hour before the reservation.
Use Main Entrance. For access, head through the main Burj Khalifa entrance rather than relying on Dubai Mall directions.
Check Fountain Status. Confirm whether the fountain is operating before booking for the view, as renovation caused noise for one visitor.
Consider Outdoors. For daytime visits, ask about outdoor seating if you want the Burj Khalifa view rather than an indoor table.

The Bottom Line
The Burj Club is a rooftop restaurant in Downtown Dubai where people come for poolside dining, the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa views. Reviews mention booking Friday brunch with pool access, ordering a three-course meal after the observation deck, and using the spa; the setting is the clearest reason to consider it. Food feedback is uneven.
Some visitors enjoyed steak, nachos, fish, chocolate cake, quinoa salad and fresh-tasting ice cream, while others found portions small, the fixed menu limited, or dishes poor enough to leave uneaten. Brunch spreads have included salads, grills, seafood and desserts, but several guests called the selection limited. Plan the visit carefully.
The route through Dubai Mall or the Burj Khalifa entrance can be confusing, and one guest spent two hours in the lift queue before reaching a booked table. A review also reported fountain renovation noise, so check what views are operating. Booking ahead is repeatedly advised; valet parking was mentioned.
Reported deal examples include a 79AED breakfast through Cobone, a 150 AED weekend pool pass, and a 284 AED At the Top dinner pairing. Service ranges from warm and accommodating to seriously dismissive, so this is a view-led experience where timing and expectations matter.
