dunes cafe - shangri-la

i love seafood there are amazing varieties #must try.. ambience is good.. gud service ..i ordered buffet which also includes variety of drinks.....i strongly recommend this place...keep it up guys....

had lovely friday brunch before easter, overall above average.
they have variety of food, especially seafood was amazing, desserts and asia food was perfect.
for non-alcohol package the choice of drinks was limited, only still water and soft drinks available. fresh juice, sparkling water, tea and coffee was not included in package.

this used to be our favourite go to restaurant, and i ve been there over 50 times.. until last time we visited, we were shocked by how inattentive inconsistent and unprofessional the waiters were. first no one asked us if we wanted anything, we were ushered to the table and they seem as if they forgotten about us. we had to stop one of the 6 waiters who were focused on one table in the corner of the restaurant just to get our drinks since it's a buffet.. was very disappointed and will never go there again.. it shows when the employees change it seems that the quality of the service changes too! not good for business!

enjoyed a very nice iftar buffet. not many main courses but very good quality food. i definitely ate 3 times the cauliflower 65, it was great! good spot for a group of friends

we had xmas buffet at dunes cafe. it was a very high quality buffet, everything was super fresh, particularly the seafood, oysters, lobsters, prawns... what a feast! they also had a very wide range of hot dishes, i loved the beef ribs which was so tender and moisted. my family were so satisfied with their desserts, lots of different sweets, good job for the pastry chef! coffee was nice too:) i had some south australian white wine to pair with my food which was delicious. we all enjoyed our meal, and the staff were lovely and they sang in a choir like angels! best xmas buffet for sure, we would love to come back in the future.

had fun at dunes cafe...great service by the staff esp frank at the bar, and imleye at the reception...they were very warm.. the spread was interesting and the house beverages were enjoyable

food is good. enough selection for a buffet. not too big so you can enjoy and taste all of it. live cooking for grill and ramens are good. the soup stock is so flavourful. the japanese section for sushis and sashimis is to visit.

dunes café is the all-day-dining restaurant at the shangri-la hotel on sheikh zayed road. located in the lobby on the right as you enter its décor is very much a continuation of the hotels, and as such, is a very pleasant place to dine. the dunes buffets and friday brunches have made quite a name for themselves and are considered one of the better culinary offering on the sheikh zayed strip. benjarong at the dusit thani on the opposite side of the highway being the notable other. i was at dunes to try their breakfast buffet with a friend who was staying at the hotel.

an absolute ooh la la experience at breakfast! gorgeous spread, amazing quality of food, mouth watering preparations! what else could one ask for early in the morning! i was especially very fond of the variety of honey they had!!

went for the buffet. good options. ambiance and decor is nice. this is part of a 5 star hotel so the standard is good. wide selection of choice in the buffet. the grilled kebabs in particular were very nice. great dessert selection too.

i had lunch here a couple of times and i've recently tried their singaporean food festival, where shangri-la brought in chef raymond ying from singapore to prepare some delicious singaporean dishes to incorporate in the buffet. for only 150dhs, i found it well worth it as the quality of food was not only authentic but delicious. the service was good and the casual yet professional atmosphere made it suitable for both friendly lunches and business meetings. i enjoyed trying some different dishes from singapore such as the laksa, the chicken curry, and my personal favorite was the singapore chili crab with mantou bread. that dish alone elevated the whole dining experience to a new level. if i was to only eat that dish, without trying anything else from the large buffet, it would have been enough for me as it was perfection!

if you're nearby shangri-la and looking for a decent buffet for lunch, i suggest you try dune's cafe, especially during this singaporean food festival, which unfortunately ends on the 29th of september.

this has to be the best breakfast i have had in dubai. the variety of food and the quality is exceptional. the service is excellent. i cannot fault it. there are so mamy choices for all dietary needs. ketone friendly. the only sad fact is that we can't eat more of the lovely food on offer 🤣

awful service and food is disgusting. we were waiting 30 minutes for our food and we were not impressed by the hospitality. rude and unwelcoming staff.

dukes cafe it’s more than a restaurant when it comes to selection of cuisine .. been here several time and now it’s preferred place for lunch .... they have some mouth watering dishes (deserts specially) .. live counter where chefs makes the food as per your requirement .. the staff is very friendly and always attentive when it comes to service .. would recommend to have buffet so you can njoy the best cuisine food from dunes

ambience: very good
staff: very good and informative
