in my desire to have a decent eid brunch which doesn't have to offer a lavish buffet selection, my friend and i decided to go for a cheaper offer and opted cavendish in bonnington up by jumeirah lake towers. however, for what i thought would have been a less filling afternoon, i ended up completely satisfied and in fact burping and bloating.
the selection of food at the buffet are really good. they may have less varieties at the buffet but they are made perfect to my liking. salad options are fresh, meat options will keep you coming back for more-roast beef, lamb chops, shish taouk, lamb kebab. the ouzi is seriously scrumptious and i had to control myself from eating so much of it's savory rice. the only downfall is that there is not so much of vegetable or seafood dishes for mains. the dessert section was arranged creatively with mini cakes, arabic sweet, fruits & chocolate fountain. i love how the umm ali was made as it is not soggy like how others prepares it.
staff are all friendly and even the manager is hands on assisting the guests. the restaurant is located at the lower ground level of the hotel and there's an outside seating too. a big kids room was designed at one corner of the restaurant to cater to young guests. for aed 129, this is really a very good deal.
