terrific experience from an award winning restaurant.

the market recently won an award for being the best familybrunchfor 2019. we had visited the market last week for there weekly themes night. we went there on a monday and it was indian night. the interior is excellent. beautiful, calming, the restaurant is quite long as well and where ever you see there is food being served.

i celebtrated my mums 60th birthday and i could not think of any otherbrunchthan the citybrunchat hilton. we were a big group of 25 people. food, drinks and ambience was amazing. specially children's were entertained all the times. staff are very friendly, polite, specially giselle, samantha and amit gave our group the best service. i would highly recommend this brunch.

the citybrunchis the bestbrunchin the beautiful city of dubai!

i had went earlier to the samebrunch2 years ago and i can tell you that it has remained on the same premium quality. a heaven of choices, everything delicious, the top of the top!. an out of the worldbrunchthat should not be missed. from salads, mezzes, cheese, indian station, arabic station, asian station, meat station, sushi, seafood, bread, vegetarian, desserts, etc…

brunch. citybrunchon a friday and it was pretty chaotic. we waited a long time for any service staff to come to the table to place our drinks orders.

thebrunchwas probably over booked as tables so close together and every food station had a giant queue for the first 90mins.

i tried the sushi which was lovely. the carvery station was great. awesome choice of drinks with bottled beers, cocktails, wine and bubbly.

kids area was good and well staffed.

no designated smoking area at thebrunchso guest last have to take a lift to a lower floor to the bar.

nice that when it ended at 4.30pm we weren’t expected to vacate immediately like some brunches.

been here with family for the city brunchon friday . we had our reservations done prior and the staff were friendly and escorted us to our beautiful table at the window side facing the dubai canal. the staff also took us through the buffet stations which were more than 7 easily . the spread was simply extensive ranging from the continental, arabic , sushi , chinese and indian food, salad bar and a attractive array of desserts coupled with bar with beverages . we started off with beer , wine and some cocktails. kids loved the overall experience of play area and wide range of choices , their favorites were the chicken wings , sushi , some chinese delicacies and desserts . we had a relaxing time and tried most of the food stations and what we loved the most were grilled fish , roasted lamb , chicken tikka, biryani , peking duck and salads . in the desserts mango mousse , tiramisu, raspberry cake was superb. overall it was a fun filled yummy weekend . a perfect place to be with family and friends and enjoy a wonderful meal . the service was amazing and we were served by ms lillien who really made it more wonderful !

booked for an international buffet dinner, the hotel is confusing to reach to. upon entering there was no staff to check our table or assist us.
we just walked in and did a tour around the buffet and seating area until we stumbled across a staff and asked about our table.

it was nicely seated to the window, my name was on the table, gentle touch.
table was clean and organized.

i'm going to summarize the buffet.
has an average selection of cold items from salads, hummus, moutabal, moudardra, beef salad, beetroot, spinach, baba ghanooj.

the sushi section is poor. it's not what i wanted to see. the choices are cheap and they weren't tasty.

the hot foods are okay, there is mixed grills which tasted great but some of the meat wasn't cooked properly, still raw meat. there is biryani, some selection of indian,
on another section there was shrimps with sauce, roast beef, vegetables, potatoes, mexican rice. the white rice in this section was completely rubbish, it was overcooked and dry, i wonder how they left it there.

like 5 types of rice in this buffet is silly. just put something else instead of two rice dishes.
the desserts aren't waw. they all in the fridge. had trouble getting them, specially the fruits, you can't put your hand properly into the shelf. the ice cream is okay. you had to look around for the guy to scoop you a serving.

on average it was alright, other than not having a good service throughout. for the price i think its a tad bit more expensive than other places that offer a better service to say the least.

i heard thebrunchis a different experience from the reviews. i may look into that in the future.

the market, on the first floor, is the hilton dubai al habtoor city’s all-day-dining restaurant. it’s where you go to have breakfast in the morning and lunch/dinner accordingly. i joined friends there for breakfast and was shocked to find how crowded it was at 08:00. as i entered my eyes grew even wider at the number of asian guests there, over 70% that morning; walking to our table i noticed that the chinese food station was easily winning the restaurant’s popularity contest, surpassing even the egg station (but that may be because there are two egg stations). of course, there’s an indian section, arabic section, cold meats section (but no pork), cheeses, breads, cereals, juices and all the other trappings which are typical of five-star dubai buffets. quality of everything was equally five-star, the coffee, in particular, was superb. commendable too was the service, with staff visiting our table every couple of minutes to check if we needed anything. this is definitely a breakfast buffet worth visiting, especially if you are a fan of asian food. i hear their fridaybrunchis not too bad either.

easily one of the bestbrunchservices in dubai!
we went on a friday with friends and very classy, with fresh food & an unbelievably amazing roast dinner!

fabulous place ! fridaybrunchis a must visit, the spread is lavish, atmosphere lively, drinks are free flowing and the 4 hours spent their seem short. it must be the company for me, but i'm sure the place also had a lot to do with it :) worth the money and am sure to visit again...

amazingbrunchwith something for the whole family! our kids were entertained which meant we were free to enjoy the extensive buffet. the quality of food is top notch, from the foie gras and sushi to the impressive meat and massive dessert counter! the best part of all was the friendly and attentive staff who were quick to respond, refill our beverages and anticipate our every need. special thanks to bobby, leonardo and ionela for making sure we enjoy our meal time after time!

tried their buffet lunch with family and the place is huge! it was a weekday so not much people but still the food selections are generous and aplenty. i can imagine how great their fridaybrunchmust be! lovely service too.

this city and it's citybrunchrocks....what an environment and ambience....we were truly awestruck....the crew on the floor were just too good and matched every bit of the wonderful buffet spread....mind you....i am just reviewing the vegetarian treats which were part of the buffet....
the seafood and meat loving can dig in even more on their scrumptious feast laid ahead of them.
the live counters are nice and quick to whip up your custom made plate....
the buffet arrays an extensive range of food half way across the world i guess....the restaurant is huge enough to handle hungry gluttons....
the dessert range wins your heart and probably would say it's worth the entire money you pay....
the coffee and tea served after the buffet adds to one step higher in ratings....
keep it up guys and surely love to visit you all again....

with all the brunches in dubai, they all start to blur together. especially after a few too many mojitos! so just what does it take to stand out?. well, i arrived at the citybrunchat westin al habtoor city fashionably late. i do love a good buffet, but, to be honest, i was expecting just anotherbrunchand thought i’d have plenty of time to sample a few mediocre lukewarm dishes. how wrong i was! serves me right to be racing around with fomo as i tried to make up for lost time.

brunches are meant to be laid back, relaxed and usually a family gathering. in dubaibrunchis more like a tradition and we have got plenty of options for the same. from international to arabic and from italian to indo pak whatever your palate desires you can easily find in this city. i love the idea of going tobrunchon weekends as brunches are meant to be laid back, relaxed and a family affair. dubai is one place where you will find plenty of options according to your palates.
