spice island - crowne plaza dubai deira

i visit this restaurant becuse of good food but believe me the restaurant have very bed quality food i take my family to have good food but they said they west the time very bed. and expensive as per food the dont deserve this expensive amount.
really very bed experience.

first impression of this restaurant was not good. there was no one to attend us. we heard a lot about this restaurant but service was very disappointing. if you are first timer then you are done, no one even bother to explain you about the food counters. you have to search for food for yourself.
it was thursday night and it was grill special dinner. we started with salad which was barely there, no refill was done until we were there.
no one was there at bar b q station to help you or to serve. we had to search for people and food.
chicken biryani was finished already, we asked them that we need biryani but they didn't have it.
whatever food we got, it was good but was not worth the price.

we spent very good time,ambiance super,tasty food with multi cuisine,
service was perfect and very friendly team lead by restaurant manager ahmed.

went today for iftar buffet on last day of ramadan, the food was very average, not satisfying at all from soup, to desserts to main course, to salad, nothing special atall

i love this place last year i have arranged my birthday party here and i frequently visit spice island , i ask everyone to try spice island once and you will love it trust me

it's a very good buffet is it offers a wide range variety of food. there are indian, arabic, mongolian and japanese food. the live station was also a great touch to the buffet. at the time of my visit, the place was quite crowded.

good place for groups and families .however went there with my partner , place was empty . food quality was not upto the expectations. lots of food but no taste at all . requested for chicken tikka however it was overcooked and very chewy , felt like marination was too old . staffs were attentive to our needs . this place needs more energy though. hope they take the feedback positively

visited spice island for indian dinner buffet with my family to celebrate my daughter's birthday. this was my 3rd visit to the restaurant and i was so happy that we selected this venue for the celebration. we were extremely happy with the food variety, taste and above all the extremely courteous staff and the manager mr. madan. we visit various restaurants very often for weekend family dinner and this is definitely one of the best restaurant, which we would like to visit again. mr. madan, the outlets manager made my daughter's birthday all the more special with a surprise cake and birthday song by all restaurant staff.

family with kids visited spice island for friday brunch. the brunch spread was good with a few live stations. the ambiance and visuals were very good but were not matched by the taste of the food which lacked finesse. sushi was too salty, indian dishes a bit bland and seafood live station had a few stale items. the wine in the normal house beverage package was the cheapest they could find. the service at the table was a bit slow. we went with discount vouchers so we rate the overall experience as 'average' including the food and desert options for the kids. not worth the full price the restaurant charge

i've been dining to this place regularly for more than 4 years since they serve one of the best sashimis. i booked for buffet today and it seems that they dont want to serve that dish that i want. you need to make a special request for you to get it and they will give you on very limited quantity. to my surprise i was given only 5 small pieces. it was a total disappointment! we will never come back to this place!

decent place with a variety of different dishes from different cuisines. there was a good spread . the lobster counter was crowded the whole time. it would’ve been better if the pricing was more relevant.

i went to the friday brunch ..honestly it’s the worst ..they said seafood brunch but when u check the food there is may be 10 main course only rice and their seafood only lobster and shrimps both of them very small and every time you want to take you should order first and wait then order again and wait .. the food has no good taste and very limited variety of food comparing to the price . the service is bad the staff slow and the food no taste

this is first and last time try crown plaza

very bad experience

the price too much over comparing to the food

it was lovely to be back here! it was such a great way to start the weekend! i came with my husband and daughter to try their recently launched flaming thursdays and as always, it was amazing! the restaurant was divided into several live cooking stations (flipino, indian, vegeterian, mongolian, arabic and western) so imagine the view and aroma of the whole place! package starts from 79dhs where you can enjoy unlimited food freshly cooked in front of you at one of the stations + a buffet of salad and desserts. if you are a big water (which we were), choose the 129dhs package and you get to enjoy all the stations. among my favourites were the grilled kebab, massive shawarma, fall of the bone barbecued ribs and beef kare-kare. i felt the need to also have mongolian noodle dish (as i always had before) and it's still phenomenal. apart from the quality of food, all the staff (chefs, supervisor and servers)were all top notch-- all very pleasant and accomodating. so if you haven't got any plans this coming thursday, consider this but be sure to come in hungry!

went here for a company party, dinner buffet is really good.must try!

best buffet with drinks in the town.

poor options for vegetarian - they should be more creative and add more options for snacks and bites for vegetarian food... almost nothing to eat for vegetarian.
