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

“This restaurant offers vegan brunch once a month and I tagged along my friends. Food is pretty good for someone who’s new to vegan dishes. Good variety, I really like their desserts and spaghetti. Overall taste can be improved but for 99 AED per pax and all the healthy ingredients, I would give 4.5/5 star.”June 2025

Tips for a Better Visit
Ask Fresh. At breakfast, ask about the hot dishes prepared to order rather than relying only on the buffet.
Check Dates. If you are visiting for a buffet, confirm the date first; one guest arrived on the wrong day of the month.
Watch Specials. Look out for the monthly vegan brunch if you want a wider plant-based spread, including salads, mains and desserts.
Check Offers. For iftar, check whether the Entertainer app or UbyEmaar card has a buy-one-get-one offer before paying.
Non-Guests Welcome. You do not need to be staying at the hotel to visit for breakfast; a non-guest visited several times for the buffet.

Inconsistent Iftar
One family found the iftar dishes, drinks, fruit and desserts unpleasant, and also reported unclean-smelling glasses.
Boodle Variation

Vegan Taste
A first-time vegan brunch guest liked the variety and desserts but felt the overall taste could improve.

The Bottom Line
The Daily Trade Centre is an all-day restaurant at Rove Trade Centre in Al Jafiliya, and reviews make breakfast and buffet dining its clearest draws. You can come for the breakfast buffet, order hot dishes cooked to order, or visit for an iftar buffet when it is running. The monthly vegan brunch is another notable option, with a large spread of salads, mains, table-served dishes and desserts.
Breakfast reviews mention croissants, fruit, yoghurt and generous cooked plates, including an omelette with hash browns, avocado and veal sausages. The setting is spacious, bright and comfortable enough for a business meeting, remote-work lunch or relaxed dinner. Specific menu successes include lasagna, fish and chips, quesadillas and some burgers, though the burger feedback is not consistent.
Buffet experiences are mostly positive, but one iftar review reported unclean-smelling glasses and disappointing flavours across the dishes, drinks, fruit and desserts. A vegan-brunch guest also thought the taste could improve, despite liking the variety. Check buffet dates before travelling, and look for Entertainer or UbyEmaar promotions when available.
Customer service is a recurring strength, with reviews describing the team as friendly, attentive and welcoming.
