al liwan - marjan island resort & spa

we were in house guest and took breakfast and dinner buffet. i will give 4 out of 5 to breakfast. variety of dishes withgoodtaste. staff was very helpful specially a lady name roomi. she was very helpful.
i will give 2 out of 5 to dinner buffet. taste wasntgoodat all. need lots of improvement. salads and main course options were limited and taste wsnt good. i am giving 2 rating only because staff were helpful. i have been to different buffet restaurants and charm is always live stations, grills and salad options. no live stations, bad taste of grill items not juciy and chicken was very hard, and very limited salad options. i hope management read this and take appropriate step. in marjan island there are not many options for food so guest had to take in house restaurants..

we were in house guest in this hotel and took a buffet here. the place was nice and served international buffet. they also have an outdoor seating arrangement across the outdoor swimming pool. the food was tasty. pricing is average and overall agoodexperience.

hygiene - 4/5

taste - 4/5

ambience - 4/5

pricing is average and overall agoodexperience.

stayed at the resort for couple of days and had breakfast. quite a decent spread and covers most of the requirements. 
there is no live egg station unless they open the other restaurant. the karak tea is quitegoodand the sausage options are limited.
service wasgoodand the outlet manager was very hospitable.

during our stay in al marjan resort n spa in ras al khaimah we had our breakfast there...
average breakfast nothing so special i can specifically talk about...food was ok..buffet spread was nice...
u have many options to eat...overall agoodexperience...
on the other side i do not recommend anyone to go there for stay..coz staying there was not agoodexperience though...

overall rating:-

food 3/5
service 2.5/5
ambience 2.5/5
value for money 3/5

beautiful interiors,goodstaff service and nice ambience. seating arrangements are neat and quick service too. ordered the following from al liwan:

1. mix green salad : great in taste - 4/5
2. chicken tikka masala : average in taste, neatly presented - 3.5/5
3. paneer masala : i didn't like it all. it had a weird taste. not the usual paneer masala taste - 2/5
4. shish tawouk :goodin taste - 3.5/5
5. chicken bbq: loved it - 4.5/5
6. pizza bbq : thumbs up ! 👍🏻👍🏻 - 4.5/5

we ordered for parathas, and they dont serve parathas, but the chef said he would cook it for us, but the frozen parathas was served to us. but i'm not taking this into consideration since they don't have it in the menu and prepared it for us on our request. our breakfast was also from this restaurant and it was buffet. the buffet ranged from fruits to baked beans, scrambled eggs etc. this was during our two nights stay at marjan island resort and spa. a one time restaurant to try.

nice set up...the service was quick...we ordered the chicken biryani and beef curry...authentic taste ...however, i would've given a 5/5 if there would've been more variety in the main course...special thanks to mr nawas who was very kind and hospitable and made sure we had agooddining experience...also thanks to chef biswash for the lovely macaroons!! they were yumm!! :)

will i come again?

yes indeed

i purchased a buffet package for this restaurant during our stay at marjan resort. on a weekend, the restaurant can be quite full at dinner time and plan some waiting time before you can get a table. the ambience is not particularly special, but the place is neat and seating is spread out with some spacing allowing for some level of privacy.

the food variety wasgoodranging from starters (fresh raw vegetables to variety of salads) to desserts (fresh fruits and cakes). the main dishes had agoodbalance of arabic and asian dishes but lacked authentic taste. beware- the buffet lunch and dinner packages usually does not include any beverages (including water).

the breakfast spread was quite impressive and even hasgoodchoices for vegetarians. the live egg station is a bonus. the service was just average. rating - 3.0

al liwan is a restaurant in marjan island resort and spa, serving european, international, regional and local experience. the breakfast they serve is very yummy and havegoodvariation.
the shakshuka - a dish of eggs cooked sunny side up in a skillet of tomato sauce and spiced up with pepper was the best of all.
the ambience was verygoodwith an option of poolside dinning.
