seasons - pullman dubai jumeirah lakes towers hotel & residence

my second iftar this ramadan there, the place is nixe, and the buffet has really nice variety of food, i love the dessert spread and the staff are friendly... it's not really over priced, good value for money

i had been to iftar preview last week.this is the place which is really a standard and grand. if you are planning for a family iftar party then its the best place to occupy, you can pre book with one person to max , if its more than 10 person only 99/- per head and otherwise only 129 /- best family place, date night place , really a romantic nature lovely ambience , friendly staff , delicious food , they have a to z items as a food.

there are buffets for iftar and this year i've been to some fabulous ones so far. the iftar buffet at seasons has a great deal for uae residents and has some amazingly fresh and tasty food along with a great variety.

the place was crowded simply showing its popularity and there were happy faces everywhere with people enjoying the food and the ambience. the service for a buffet spread is exceptionally good with the staff being very attentive to clear out plates very quickly. 

the spread is great with a huge variety of salads, supremely fresh hot mezze, the lamb ouzi, chicken roast and a variety of mains. of course, it goes without saying that you will be spoilt for choice with the desserts.

to break the fast, there were some dry fruits on the table and the efficient staff kept on refilling water. for one who is fasting, drinking plenty of water after iftar is a must and these guys have you covered. i started with the cold mezze and enjoyed the fattoush, the hummus with meat and the regular hummus. the cold mezze were very very good. what impressed me more were the sambosek, meat kibbeh and the spring rolls. 

i tried the lamb ouzi which clearly stood out in taste. there were some unassumingly tasty dishes such as the penne pasta with mushroom sauce and chicken shawarma. the shawarma had sliced chicken pieces perfectly grilled and placed with bread. this gives a choice to diners to have it with or without bread.

in the mains, i thoroughly enjoyed the samak harra - the fish in a thick sauce. the fish was extremely fresh. i also had the vegetable biryani and the butter chicken. there is so much attention to detail that the biryani had raita (yogurt), pickles and apricot sauce kept with it. the butter chicken went very well with the biryani as it was perfectly creamy.

its difficult to do justice to an iftar buffet when you have been fasting all day and i can tell you that this buffet for sure offers something for every taste bud.

the desserts station is huge and one can say its a iftar buffet by itself. there are plenty of international and mediterranean selection of desserts. one sweet dish that caught my attention was the rice pudding that had mango pulp in it. it was very different that the regular rice puddings. then there were cakes from which i tried the tiramisu, chocolate deviled cake and the blueberry cheesecake. from he selection of arabic desserts, i tried the basbusa and loved it.

we went there for iftar. the variety of food was good and included a few different stations. good choice of drinks. the taste was not compromised at all. great service too.

the venue is nice very cozy. the staff welcome you with a smile & they’re polite & nice. we went for iftar. what i liked the most is the variety in choosing the dishes. they have indian - arabic - italian - moroccan and a sushi corner. everything we tired was so delicious especially the lebanese food. the sweets need another visit because everything was so yummy to try. it was my friend’s birthday so the staff made it really special by surprising her by signing for her with a nice birthday cake.

here comes another iftar on the row and now it is at season’s restaurant located inside pullman jlt. located on the first floor the seasons restaurant that lays out a brunch featuring a range of international cuisine. but today i am about to write about the lavish spread of iftar. my hubby loved the chicken vermicelli soup done with lemon and coriander.

an absolute must try iftar i would say.. food is so so so delicious and the spread is quite lavish
my fav - okra salad, fattoush, hummus, lentil soup, butter chicken, carrot cake, lamb ouzi, chocolate cake
highly recommended!

...review update. ..

seasons a all-day dining restaurant at the pullman in cluster t, jlt. 
its interior is modern, bright and cheerful, with a wrapped of oriental and african heritage.. 
last night i came to try their pre- ramadan iftar .
the iftar buffet at seasons does not disappoint you with huge sections covering salads and starters, mains and desserts. 
with amazing  live cooking stations, the most popular being the giant lamb qozi. the variety of dishes on aplenty and there was something for every taste and preference
their dessert section is stupendous.
service is very good. the staff are generally friendly and attentive.
highly recommended during ramadan time 👍🏼

i was invited for an iftar buffet dinner at seasons in pullman jlt on the second day of ramadan this year.  in spite of reaching on time and getting to explore the display of food at my own pace, i  found myself discovering a new section every time i got up to fill up my  plate. that is how extensive the spread was !. a welcoming staff and the lustrous interior kept the atmosphere lively all night.

ok so here is a very detailed review about everything i experienced from their iftar offering:
1.ambience: 4/5
the table that they reserved for us was at a dark place. but i expected a bit more form a five star hotel. however the covered outdoor seats near the bar was nice. the decor was also pretty good.
2. food 5/5
the main reason why i gave this restaurant a 5 star is mainly because of this..
before i came here i checked for a detailed food review but i did not find it. so no ive decided to write it..
i) lamb &rice (the highlight)
theres nothing fancyof the lamb (not anything in peculiar like the new zealand or aussie) but the great part is the doneness of the lamb and they included the ribs too! the rice was perfectly seasoned and great to go with the lamb. the usual nasty smell of lamb is not there. my friends who hates lamb started to like lamb
ii)cold mezze and sushi
well there are two sushi dishes..idk what are they but sushi lovers willl like it. there is a great offerring of dressings and arabian style cheeses
iii)pasta
the pasta was average .. would have been better with a dash of olive oil and more cheese.
iv)sheesh tawook 
there were two types of sheesh tawook offered, one was on skewers which was dry and below my expectations but after eating the shredded one, i totally changed my mind.
v)shawarma station:
the shawarmas were ok. the chicken was pretty good and packed with delicious combo of veggies.
it is a healthier option with way less oil and well seasoned version of a shawarma.
vi)the lamb koftas:
the lamb koftas were well seasoned but had the gamey lamb smell which i really dont like.
vii)deserts:
the deserts were amazzinggg.the smell of chocolate will make you extremely tempted  and will hit your nose from far. chocolate dishes are a treat for your tongue.
viii)fruits and vegetables
i recommend grabbing a few fruits to eat for good digestion of the food that you ate...
they have a good selection of fruits .
ix)filipino dishes:
i was too full to try em
x) butter chicken and vegetable biriyani
these were well prepared indian delicacies.chicken was tender and biriyani was nice
xi)spaghetti sort of thing was also good
xii)arabic sweets:
the arabic sweets were really good .
xiii)juices
here i was dissapointed to find the absence of fresh juies,but the jallab,ayran was good
however the foods i couldnt try were:
lamb okra
hot mezze
falafels and beans
3.service 4/5
i only wish the lady serving us could have bothered us a bit less. but i wouldnt complain.
4. discouts and offers 5/5:
you can try this restaurant at a really affordable rate(aed70 pp) if you have the entertainer..
otherwise (at a price of 135 pp) also it is worth it.
overall a really good restaurant with a wide range of ala-carte options too.

i was here to try their iftar menu.

the place is spacious and they also have an air conditioned outdoor space, which makes it great for the summer!

for the buffet, they had a wide variety, catering to the vegetarians and non vegetarians. they also had a crazy amount of desserts, which really got the dessert lover in me excited. unfortunately, none of it made the cut. while the desserts looked appealing and tempting, they were pretty mediocre in taste. the same applies to the food.
with regards to the food, it was either bland or too sour.

i believe in quality over quantity. so probably serving few dishes with impressive flavors would be a lot better than having a variety with none of them making it though.

this place looked like it was going to be a good little find however i was left unimpressed. there was a decent amount of food - just not very nice tasting. it felt more like a mass canteen style restaurant where the focus is on feeding the crowds as cheaply and quickly as possible. i had a pasta dish which lack any seasoning or flavour, tried a few bites of some of the other hot dishes and absolutely not a single one tasted nice. so much so that i didn’t bother with dessert and i have a sweet tooth. the staff were very pleasant. it’s a shame really because there’s other local competitors offering buffets at a similar price that manage to make a few quality dishes and that’s enough. i don’t think you need to have masses of bad food that goes to waste. less is sometimes more.
