What to Eat at VIEW 180 Restaurant & Bar at NH Collection Dubai The Palm 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 VIEW 180 Restaurant & Bar at NH Collection Dubai The Palm, 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
Book ahead. Reserve if you are dining at a busy evening time; one guest with a reservation reported no waiting.
Try sunset. Sunset is a strong time to visit if the view is your priority; several reviews specifically highlight the skyline at that hour.
Check events. Look out for the weekend night swim, live music and DJ programming if you want more atmosphere than a quiet meal.
Ask ingredients. If you have allergies or intolerances, ask detailed menu questions before ordering, as one review reported poor guidance from a waiter.
Use valet. Driving to the hotel is more convenient with the available valet parking.

The Bottom Line
VIEW 180 is a rooftop restaurant and bar at NH Collection Dubai The Palm, built around wide views of the Dubai skyline, Palm and Dubai Eye. It suits sunset dinners, romantic evenings, pool days and drinks with music. The rooftop pool and bar are repeatedly described as clean, relaxing and attractive, while live singers, bands and DJs add a livelier evening soundtrack.
The food receives mixed but often detailed feedback. Popular orders mentioned by name include beef tartare, Shrimp & Ginger Seared Gyoza, Citrus-Chili Glazed Octopus, truffle risotto and cherry parfait. The Doll cocktail, served inside a Matryoshka doll, is one of the more memorable drinks presentations.
Reviews also mention meat, seafood, sushi and vegetarian choices, though one diner felt the menu leaned too heavily toward fried, high-calorie food. Service is not completely consistent. Many guests describe attentive hospitality, but others report being ignored for around 30 minutes or waiting more than an hour between Valentine’s courses.
A reservation helped one party avoid a wait. Pool crowds were reported between noon and 5pm, so evening or off-peak timing may be more comfortable. Valet parking is available, and families may appreciate the children’s pool and attentive lifeguards.
