khayal restaurant - marriott hotel al forsan

wow…. iftar buffet was on point the space between the tables was convenient very neat clean organized buffet the variety of the food was very fair everything was delicious special thanks to our waiter nilham i guess that was her name she was working like a busy bee between the tables and cleared the dishes from the table on time. they hadgoodfood options for kids my son was very very happy, they made sure to make our kids happy and full. this is the first buffet in my life that cared for kids up to this point, kids food included (burgers, pizza, nuggets, fries) and they even had popcorn and slush for kids to serve. my son was happy, husband was happy, i was happy. the best iftar buffet i have ever had on my last 30 years in uae.

we visited the khayal restaurant after seeing somegoodreviews but it was a disaster. we went for our anniversary dinner @ 18/01/2022, i was shocked to see such a low standard in a marriot group hotel. the buffet was below average, lock of items, food was not hot, grills are not cooked well, more over the staff in the restaurant is not aware about their roles. only one person was available to deliver the food as gusts are not allowed to take food, that guy has no clue about the food items, we have to wait long to get items served, soft drink not included. they are taking aed 169 for one buffet and not even having the quality and verity of items sold in normal restaurants. never i recommend this restaurant ..... i will give 0 out of 5 stars. all this we informed the lady in the restaurant lobby.

we had our breakfast and dinner buffet from khayal during our stay at mariott.
must admire how courteous the staffs are.
they are attentive and attending to our requests spontaneously.
the buffet foods especially the breakfast buffet have a wide spread and is amazing.
the vibe of the restaurant is reallygoodtoo

i tried sea food night buffet which i was expecting it ll be great but it was notgoodas the buffet was like a maze i can’t got what i want easily!! random buffet without any seafood salad just some normal salads like taboulah , pickles and pasta salad!! very poor buffet and the fish we asked for came cold and tasteless.

went got a lunch buffet, amazing service, strictly adhering covid guidelines, friend staff specially jezra whogoodcare. she was very friendly with our kid and offered her a colouring set even.
food quality and tast were really good, my pick was the ceasers salad, the chicken breast portion and the sliders.goodvalue for money

grateful to experience their wanasah family lunch last friday. khayal restaurant is a lovely place. love the interior and atmosphere also the comfortable seats. almost everything was delicious.

i did enjoyed their salad bar and the asian corner with almost everything homemade by chef ellie was phenomenal. i ate loads of rice because of their chicken stir fry and shrimp curry.

their is also agoodvariety in their emirati and arab food from fish to chicken to beef mixed grill.

not to be forget also their desserts. i looove the creme brulee, cupcakes are also and delicious.

i did enjoyed my wild berry mocktail, fresh juices for my daughter and dad as well as my iced coffee served by mina. shoutout as well to their awesome staff sarah and shovit.

the 25 minutes drive from our city place is totally worth it. excited to see what more they can offer after the pandemic.

family lunch is back and it's really the perfect place to spend your off day eating here the food and the staff will let you passion to visit this place more often
variety of food and cuisines is not the onlygoodthing but tastes are really perfect also ice-cream and desserts are super

during covid,it's best to avoid this restaurant as i had really high expectations after reading reviews about this particular restaurant for it's buffet options before covid.
food options are very limited and it wasn't value for money. had to order pizza as the options were very limited and the pizza was tasteless just plain dough with cheese and tomato sauce.
the onlygoodthing that i feel is worth visiting this restaurant again is the customer service experience that was delivered to me by shovik he's amazing at his work and took care of me and my friend, till we left the place and made sure even though we weren't happy with the buffet choices he tried his best to meet our additional request.
good job shovik and keep up the excellent work :)

we went on a thursday evening and were very satisfied with the food. there were many dishes to choose of and i was lucky that day because there were vegetarian dishes and also fish and se food dishes (although when we call the lady said there was only beef and chicken today. which i found really weird and we went to check it out - because i don’t eat it). my husband really enjoyed also the beef, lamb kofta and chicken. they have improved the music that was annoying. this time the food was verygoodtoo!

i have recently visited this restaurant for a special occasion to celebrate. but it was too disappointing for us. as there was very limited options in both veg & non veg food. also the taste was not good. service was late. we had readgoodfeedback about the restaurant so we went but realized that it’s not for the indians. the restaurant was stinking pathetically like a fish market.
after nothing to eat we finally order pizza thinking at least we can eat it but it was nothing but pizza base and cheese..no taste at all. we asked for chilly flakes and oregano so we can at least try eating it..after asking thrice we got that by the time that pizza was cold.

they are hoplessly begging to have customers after being closed for 3+ months due to covid, now they finally opened so i decided to give them a visit again, unfortunately we were told we need to wear face masks inside the restaurant!! i visited every single restaurant in abu dhabi, no one ever asked me or my friend to do so, tgi fridays, fuddruckers, chilis, etc.... even especially the ones at malls !! those guys must've really lost it, asking u to wear a mask and insisting on it when they can hardly stay in business !... so we simply arrived there, told to wear a mask even b4 stepping inside the restaurant, we said no thank u, we canceled our reservation, and headed somewhere else who are less naive and oxymoron than they r, am glad this happened coz i was planning to bring my family over, well i guess i wont... its supposed to be a leisure going there, not a costume party ! whats the point of paying 130 aed+ per adult, having less food varaities due to covid, and told to wear a mask, thanks ill just save my money then !... so i thought id share that experience for those who have a sensible taste and understanding where to go and what to do especially at those meaningless times,goodluck guys staying in business 👍...

we had a great experience for the dinner buffet.
the staff there were amazing and friendly specifically mina and kevin as they did there best to make us comfortable. the buffet was verygoodand rich and the sweets and ice cream were amazing. we will definitely come again.
