sevilla - al raha beach hotel

went there to have lunch buffet, but turned out on payment it’s friday brunch.
however,
i believe the bet part was their freshly made sushi.
it was really good and the chef was very humble and cheerful.

the pasta was a bit dry and not up to their level.

sweets section was well done.

they were having offer with the entertainer voucher buy 1 and get 1 free. so i thought to pay them a visit and try their food since this one is near to my home. the buffet is very limited and very less varieties. the taste of the food is also average so i wouldnt recommend this place.

amazing ambience. one of the best i've seen. very peaceful and calm place to eat your food. the selection of food was not good though even though whatever was there was very tasty. the decor is nice. overall the place is soothing to the eye, but the food wasn't worth it.

quality of food is nice. we visited for brunch on a friday. wide choice of dishes, well cooked and well presented. many families with kids, so if you're looking for a kids-free spot, this brunch is not for you. we stayed after brunch, and we finished our day there. overall, we enjoyed it!

abu dhabi’s al raha beach hotel is a grand resort situated on a pleasant stretch of private coastline on the outskirts of the capital. forming part of the danat hotel brand, the pink hued building has fast become one of the ‘go to’ destinations for a relaxing staycation due to it’s mammoth pool and relaxing ambiance.

went to dine in with my family on a dinner (theme: asian food) and was so amazed with the quality of food they have on the buffet table... first time in 10 years of staying here in uae that i have enjoyed and love the food in a restaurant particularly on a buffet meal. not to mention the staff and service is amazing and took care of us despite wearing informal attire that night! highly recommended specially if your looking for asian food in abu dhabi! unfortunately only took photo of the japanese food we ate.

if you’re looking for the meaning of a lavish iftar, sevilla restaurant absolutely defines it. once your enter the lobby it will mesmerize you right away with their beautiful set-up for ramadan. take a look at the image below. lobby with a ramadan majlis on the left. sevilla has a very spacious dining area with a fully-carpeted flooring. with its symbolic arabian atmosphere paired with the ramadan spirit surrounding it, you will be awed with amusement.

no it's not a spanish place, if you got confused. we went there for lunch and they had an elaborate buffet, although with limited vegetarian options. my friends liked the buffet, esp the butter chicken and desserts. i tried their kadhai paneer which was pretty yummy itself. what the restaurant lacks though is a nice ambiance to it. this is pretty much a lobby restaurant, but it never hurts to have a unique touch to it.

we had a chance to experience an iftar buffet in sevilla last ramadan & it was great:

the food : omg hehehehe . no seriously i've never experience such a large variety of dishes in a buffet before, it helps that they have very large plates.
the food tasted great & i've eaten my full.

the staff : they were great and helpful

the place : it was beautiful , the seats were comfortable the view was great , at the start the place was quite as few people has shown up, and as the night progressed more & more people started to show ( it was the last night in ramadan ) however that didn't effect our experience (we've loved it).

the price : it is expansive but yet again and thank's to the entertainer voucher i had soften the blow .

overall , a great place for iftar buffet .

right after they lead us to our table, i can’t help myself but to take a look around and start my camera flashing! in the midst of doing so, mr. george, the executive assistant manager (f&b) approached me with a warm smile and welcomed me whole-heartedly. i was a shaken a bit, but was able to overcome with a reply of a big smile (sigh with relief) . and then, i was back to what i was busy with and saw an access to a picturesque view.

after my eyes got enough of this beautiful scenery, it’s time to go back inside and check out the foods.

it was a wide range of traditional arabian dishes, sweets, as well as international. that’s why you’ll not find only people who’ll come for iftar.

my total overall experience with their food is excellent! you’ll get the exact taste of what a dish should be. you’ll not get fooled with how it’s presented only. it’s significantly shows you the overpowering taste of the middle eastern delicacies. each and every bite will leave a remarkable taste on your taste buds. let me show you some of their mouth-watering dishes.

after looking all the photos i’m pretty sure you’ll agree with me and will be dying to experience it as well. won’t you say it’s a lavish iftar?

now it’s the time when your tummy slowly feels getting full and i’m craving for their qahwah (arabic coffee). given on a small tiny insy winsy cup called fenjan and you’ll think if it’s your first time, why so small? well wait till you have it. it’s a strong one! it’s just enough for you. i was enjoying it till the very last drop and making a flashback of what just happened from the beginning.

oh boy! this place is totally and totally a recommended one. family-friendly place, accommodating and friendly staffs, superb and palatable dishes and don’t forget the excellent chefs, great atmosphere, a place that will surely meet your expectations.

parking is not a problem here. it’s an open parking outside. the buffet costs 180aed per person inclusive of ramadan beverages.

thanks to a complimentary iftar buffer voucher we got to try this restaurant. the iftar buffet was a huge spread of lots of different cuisines. we grabbed our plates and then headed to get salad and starters. there was a huge line at this section. probably cause it was iftar time just 10 minutes ago. but i would sugget maybe two sections of the same main so that the lines get reduced? i felt bad for those who were fasting.

anyway the starters had sushi, salmon, prawns, veg dishes, an apple walnut and celery salad, hummous, cauliflower in tahina, aubergine salad as well as a few other things. it was all quite delicious. there was quite a good variety of main dishes too as well as pasta (some pieces were very hard) and beef shawarma, a few indian curries, a fish stir fry which was too sweet, felafel, sambusek, another pastry filled with cheese which was quite good. all made fresh. service at this place was outstanding. our requests for anything - an extra fork, tea/coffee, etc were all met with a smile and brought to us almost immediately.

the desert section was quite great. i love that they had jelly and haribos and marshmallows. there was also this delicious chocolate cup which had some very creamy chocolate in it which was just delightful. they also had bakalawa and umm ali.

overall a good spread for an iftar buffet, the only thing they should work on is keeping more space between the tables as it was too close to each other and maybe changing the buffet arrangement during iftar so that a long que would not build up and those fasting could eat on time.

decided to stay at raha beach hotel for our anniversary weekend getaway. dined at seville for dinner, they had the seafood theme night. my husband and i am so impressed about how fresh and flavourful each and every dish is. the best seafood buffet ever. variety of seafood including lobster, prawns , salmon , squid. . etc .. every single dish was mind blowing. definitely will come again for their seafood night again. their staff are very nice and attentive too. lovely ambience.

we stayed at raha hotel in june and chose sevilla restaurant for a brunch buffet. the restaurant serves a wide variety of international cuisines from appetizers to desserts. there is also a pasta station, i really enjoyed the dessert section as there are lots of sweet options. i will definitely come back if there's a chance.

tried the buffet dinner with entertainer voucher. from the price tag, we understand the variety and do accept it. it is acceptable for us if you have entertainer voucher

the ambience is a bit noisy specially in the morning. the breakfast buffet was amazing with lots of different choices and several cuisines. the service needs some energy though and coffee/tea should be served on the table. the best thing there was tareq the manager,a very decent and respectful guy who made sure everyone is having a good time.
