farriers - the meydan hotel

the theme of backto90s was very entertaining however food options are extremely limited. food qaulity done was below average and it is a shock thatmeydanhad come to this level. disappointed

90’s theme buffet night on a thursday, restricted choices due to covid but a value for money. array of live counters i.e salad, pasta, fish & chips, japanese teppanyaki, hot dog etc. however he dessert selection could have been better. the outdoor seatings were nice overlooking themeydanrace track, lucky to be visiting on one of the evenings watching live race.

we stayed at themeydanhotel recently when in dubai and dined here twice.

primarily, the buffet breakfast was elaborate with continental dominating the fare.

lovely live eggs with toast, cereals in skimmed milk and some lovely refreshing watermelon juice would be a great start to the day.

ambience is just lovely overlooking the racecourse.


bon appetit :)

one of the top luxurious friday brunch we can enjoy here in themeydanhotel with the spectacular view of horse racing field. the variety of food you can choose from is more varied than anywhere else you can find in dubai. seafood choices are just terrific!

it was a celebration of a kind with some close friends. so been to farriers...located in the beautifully designedmeydanhotel right in front of the horse racing course. quite a view!!

buffet is great...with a lot of options from all around the world in soups, salads, appetizers, main course and desserts. they have an impressive live barbecue with a variety of meat and seafood choices...being delivered to you on demand.

the ambience is quite soothing, with lots of smiling staff around guiding you.

it’s a good place to be with friends, family or your loved ones...if you want to be secluded for a while being lost in the world of delicious food :-)

this restaurant is based in the famous hotel themeydanwhich hosts major events at its racecourse. 
we have visited farriers for dinner as well as breakfast buffet as we were having our staycation inmeydanhotel. the dinner buffet was a good variety of dishes which surprisingly included steak in main course and macaroons in dessert. overall the food was good. since we were newly married the staff was so sweet to offer us a complementary cake, we really appreciate the kind gesture. 
the restaurant is situated overlooking the racecourse which is a unique experience.
the breakfast buffet offers whole lot of options with live station for egg, again great service and friendly staff made our visits to farriers more pleasant.

whenever i step in for brunch i always tell myself “enjoy the brunch like never before” and i walk ahead with a smile. 2 weeks back me & my partner went in to try the farriers friday family roast at the farriers restaurant located in themeydanhotel. a new casual culinary dining experience for family & friend’s day out offering an extensive buffet, live entertainment and so much more, kids dedicated entertainment as well, all this while facing themeydanrace course is a beauty.

buffet dining one april evening, food presentation is great, ambiance is pleasant and relaxing, not much crowd but food are overwhelming.  looking at themeydanrace horse tracks as the background, joyce assisting us for the night who made also the night wonderful. food is great appetizers are extraordinary different and main dishes caught my taste buds, sweets are not to sweet that you will want! sure we will do this again!

what we went for: unplanned lunch stop

ambience: set on the ground floor of themeydanhotel that is best known for hosting the dubai world cup, the restaurant has unparalleled views of the racecourse! the interiors are nice though without much character. the horseshoes stuck on the wall outside and the miniature temporary exhibition of the leaning tower of pisa just outside the restaurant and of course the view of the racecourse would probably stick in my mind for longer!

what we ordered: while none of us had planned for it, we sort of had no option as we ended up at buffet-as it was quite late and our original lunch plans went downhill..

price: brilliant and unexpected!! thanks to the entertainer vouchers!! aed 400 for 8 pax including children!!

verdict: i can't write rave reviews, neither can i dismiss the food or service.. sort of meandered between very average and just average :)!

the arabic grills was great, so was the sticky date dessert. i helped myself to a nice cheese platter and that's my high point.
choice wasn't extensive.

would i return? hmm, to watch a horse race, i think yes..just for the food-perhaps no!

i went to themeydanhotel for a stable tour and got to enjoy breakfast at the farriers restaurant. they have a good spread with lots of choices. the service was excellent
the view is stunning!! if you go early you get to see horses on the field. definitely a must do during the horse racing season 👍👌👌

with a beautiful view of themeydanrace course,this restaurant offers buffet breakfast,lunch and dinner.however,being our staycation,we got to try the dinner and breakfast.
starting with breakfast,i was really impressed and happie with it as they have a good selection of dishes from international,arabic and asian cuisines.the food was a feast to the eyes and to the tummy!the dates smoothie,cheese croissant,pancake,waffle and sautéed mushrooms are a few dishes that were ooh-so-yummy!
over to dinner,we went on the day of eid and so their buffet had an indian theme.being a loyal indian food lover,i was waiting to lay my hands on the buffet.i first had a look at the spread..and i loved their selection.but unfortunately,the food was only feast to the eyes.it lacked the flavor and spice of usual indian cooking which made it a disappointment for me.i am guessing that they reduced the spice level on the whole so as to cater for the multi-national crowd atmeydanso i can't conclude based on my experience alone as it maybe otherwise be good.i also say this as my cousins chose a la carte and they were happie with the food.
service is good and staff are friendly.
overall:i would love to go back again and have their breakfast as it is one of the best i have had.

with a beautiful view of themeydanrace course, this restaurant delivers on taste and ambience.

the lunch buffet has a good array of salads, starters, continental and local cuisine and desserts.

there is a good balance of light snacks like sandwiches, pizza, quesadilla, fries, roast potatoes and mains like pepper steak, saffron halibut, chicken drumstick, arabic grills and pasta.

the desserts buffet also includes a good mix of arabic and international dessert.

stayed at the wonderful  meydan hotel in november. the farriers restaurant overlooks the racecouse nad al sheba.good range of dishes for the buffet. the seafood night on thursdays was the best. lobster,. giant prawns, mussels, squid and scallops and various hot dishes. excellent pudding range. the service is formidable, you are really looked after,and couldnt rate the staff higher,especially mohamed kitchilan, chandida and  plus axel who is always smiling. great service

came here for a business lunch, and went for themeydansea bass. actually came here before and ordered the same thing (after it being recommended to me by another associate), really quite good. it comes with a nice sauce and some pickled chili of some description. fish was cooked well. the buffet wasn't on since it is ramadam, have seen it before and it looks ok if you like that sort of thing.
