it is really veryniceplace and would love to come back again. thank you very much

one of the best buffets that i tried in dubai with difference
i was surprised because i read some negative reviews on this place but when i went there everything was perfect
the spacious seating area, the delicious food, and the amazing service, perfect!
there variety of food was huge, different kinds of salads, appetizers, meat, chicken, and plenty of seafood.
we enjoyed every moment and will visit again for sure.
special thanks for the chef taking care of the pastry and shawarma section, he was veryniceto prepare for us a beautiful plate of iskender kebab, and some lahmacun as well, he is one of the reasons why i will visit this place again and recommend to a lot of friends.
highly recommended on a friday night.

hotel is verynicebut the restaurant is super rated moreover they didn't apply the cards offers although that day was a weekday worst experience i had in palm

we used to love this place. have been several times and took all visiting friends and family. used to feel like we were in a verynice/ top turkish buffet. we were shocked yesterday the standard had dropped significantly and will not be going back.

review for saturday brunch:
bustling with live music & everything turkish. they’ve managed to bring out the theme in everything-from dishes to the way they are served. you will also find a few non-turkish dishes tagged onto as international cuisine.

lavish salad bar (2 counters), turkish tamarind juice, turkish desserts & ice cream steal the show. live bbq counter is another reason to go for this buffet. breads arenicetoo. not plenty for a vegetarian but not zilch either.

pasta from the live pasta counter wasn’t all that great. don’t bother trying the 4 indian dishes on display- daal, 2 gravies & rice. they’re a let down. stick to turkish dishes.

went there for the friday brunch, got anicetable outside, the service was good, food i must say was horrible. meat from the barbecue was of the lowest quality, the vegetables we’re tasteless and not cooked properly. salads were ok. the pasta and risotto bar was good. not going there ever again. too expensive for what you get.

good turkish food and terrasse. it is located in anicehotel. only downside is that the service and staff seemed owerwhelmed by the few tables that were occupied. we had to wait quite some time for parts of the buffet to be replenished. the staff was very nice

excellent brunch above expectation !
i highly recommend it and i will definitely return for another brunch again.nicefood and ambiance and the price is correct. really worth it!

excellent place with food variety
the salad bar along with the main courses are amazing; the fresh juice counter was anicetouch
the reasons why i didn't give a higher rating are:
1) no curtains / sunshades for the windows; hence the sun was annoying for a considerable area of the restaurant
2) the fresh juice counter is too small and orders take considerable time ; portion is too less

a very busy place to start with. we had to wait for more than a 1 week to get a reservation. so book your tables in advance. the restaurant has a veryniceambience and a very open seating space.
the food options are enormous…lots of salads, meat and dessert. it’s a meat lovers haven. specializing in turkish food the buffet is vast and never ending. there is a grill section as well where you take choice of meat/fish and have it grilled. there is a small section for indian food as well..it didn’t look very appealing though.

the desserts are to die for. the variety just drives your head spinning. there are tons of cakes and pastries and baklavas to choose from.

just relax and rewind and enjoy your afternoon brunch. the service is good and the staff is friendly.

been there yesterday with a couple of friends as i was celebrating my birthday. first of all the overall ambience was veryniceand they had a wide variety of food options for the brunch. one thing that disappointed me was there were no selection on eggs, i guess the staff could consider adding that. the food tasted good especially their donner kebab. the baklavas are something to dive for.
they had good selection on the alcohol but the service was extremely poor. we had instances where the server had to be reminded several times and he would still not bring the order. drinks ordered at 3 were given by 4.10pm. upon expressing my disappointment to the manager he didn't seem apologetic nor he showcased any desire to make up for the poor service. all my friends were very upset with the service and it made me feel bad on making a poor selection of place to celebrate my birthday.
in a nutshell no matter how good the food is if the service is not upto the quality standards then the whole experience can be ruined.

must try: the kebab

one of the best buffets in town. very entertaining child friendly atmosphere with a magician wandering around the tables and anicekids area.

very diverse menu and what stood out the most was the food quality that was excellent.

cheerful and very professional service.

dessert is amazing as you will be indulged with turkish delights. luqum and turkish ice cream... amongst other international dishes that are just made right.

it's a change from the regular buffet menu to u will find almost the same everywhere..

not very costly compared to the deliciousness and the quality and service you get.

maybe it should work on improving the kids buffet a bit more??

i have been to a la turca during my stay at rixos the palm along with my mom and sister.
we had lunch, dinner and then breakfast.
the buffets were so varied, and the food was so delicious!!
some of the served platters were an exact replica of the mouth watering stuff we had in istanbul.
the meats of all kinds were full of flavors and cooked to perfection...
i especially enjoyed a lunch dish called eggplant melanzane and don't get me started on the sandwiches i had for breakfast :')!
my mom is probably the pickiest person when it comes to food and places to eat, and until this days she speaks of theniceexperience she had at this place!
my sister especially enjoyed the live stationary pasta and made herself a memorable penne alfredo for dinner.
the service is 5 stars indeed and i still dream of the wonderful afternoons i had in the restaurant open area sipping on my turkish chai.
