the spice tree - doubletree by hilton dubai m square hotel & residences

awesome freshfoodfrom a huge array of kitchens. i love morocco's food. the ramadan offers are good

horrible attitude of the captain remi here!
she needs lot of training on how to talk to guests.
food taste isn’t worth the money spent.

they servefoodbefore they serve crockery and cutlery.
veg biryani has peas and corn and raw onions with some fat rice !

they serve desert and they keep waiting at the table until one asks the servers to give cutlery .

over all this place doesn’t deserve a single star!

big let down

we went for business lunch over here yesterday with around 10 to 12 colleagues. to cut long story short- it took more than an hour to serve thefoodfor all of our colleagues and the worst part is when we gave them the feedback about the same the waiter bluntly told us that goodfoodrequires time. i mean seriously.... i have not heard anything like this in my 10 years of staying in dubai from any restaurant. thanks for that.

it was an amazing new year eve at the spice tree at double tree by hilton dubai m square.
i was there with my family and it was a right decision to go there for new year dinner.

buffet - 10/10 ( super delicious, amazingfoodand variety)
very wide spread with diversefood!!
…
all the servers were really good ….
10/10 - service
10/10 - ambiance
best station was live indian kebab, crepe station and they serve amazing zero alcohol sparking wine.

must visit place !
we will be back again for dinner.

the ala carte lunch sets. especially arabic is pathetic. the meat is not properly cooked. the staff especially the supervisor reddy is a tragedy for customer service. this is not hilton. its a joke. he was very rude and he is the one who misplaced our order and then literally shouted at us. as someone who is a hilton honours gold member. i definetly wont be coming back till he's retrained and can learn how to talk to people. remidos (i think thats her name) was a blessing and tried to help us. but after waiting over 40 mins for thefoodand having a large group and eveyone waiting. it eeally killed the vibe.

their staff has no value for the customer's time that's for sure. they don't know what's available and what's not. i went to the restaurant to ask for "buffet", the staff said only ala carte when there's a lunch set menu also available, which the staff failed to mention.
then after clarification from instagram, i went again and asked for momos island. staff comes back after 5 minutes and says it's no longer available. they took 30 mins to prepare the arabic dishes. i have only an hour for lunch and 40 mins were gone for reaching ordering and waiting! i was literally gulping thefoodand asked for the bill.
the staff wearing brown coat was taking his sweet time to come so i approached the cashier to see him chatting with his manager. thank you for wasting my time.

ejoyedddfoodvarieties plus taste n atmosphere. business lunch kabab variations.and via lucknow platter...excellent.. this evening again went for our fav.place for cappuccino n momos butter chicken momos is unique so delicious taste never had before any where ..loved amazing perfect tasty momos...n my fav. italian cappuccino perfect cup of ...supervisor lady at reception who served us n good spoken ...good staff ..

the spice tree – recently opened at double tree at hilton (mankhool) received an overwhelming response with their iftar launch during ramadan. it quickly gained popularity and strives to satisfy it’s customers with the fusion concept.

an asian restaurant mainly inspired by north indian cuisine will surely keep on coming back for more with their recent revamping of menu items.

chef gautam sethi is the man behind the scenes, and he’s done a spectacular job to not only bring together the flavors, but also make thefoodvisually appealing.

it proved to be a rare case, where i would generously rate all items 5 star. with great delight and pure honestly….

we visited the spice tree restaurant at the newly opened double tree in bur dubai. we opted for the iftar. once we reached the restaurant, we realise that there were not enough vegetarian options . the chef gautam sethi personally attended to us and helped us with an assortment of veg and veganfoodat the table. he made sure we had enough options available to us which was great. the veg biryani was awesome and the kala channa tasted exactly how one would eat growing up in a punjabi home. i am looking forward to visiting again for the indonesian options that looked quite tempting. thoroughly enjoyed thefoodand experience.

i do not like writing 1* reviews. for the simple reason that it's being unkind to a restaurant in tough times like these. also, it's basically just reliving the bad experience. but then you go and have a 'not too cheap' iftar buffet at a hotel brand like hilton and have this experience. then something needs to be said. let me dive right in to it-

cost - 238 aed for 2 if you book through groupon.
ambience- pleasant. if you find a corner table .
staff- polite and ready to help with a smile. but completely clueless about the menu. to the extent that they were not even sure if a certain dish had any meat or not. and if yes, what kind of meat.
food- horrible. i have had my fair share of indian/emirati/lebanese and other arabicfoodin dubai across places. and almost every dish in the restaurant was underwhelming, cold or plain bad. the biryani was definitely stale, and tasteless. also, the restaurant is located in a predominantly indian/pakistani area of bur dubai and yet nobody had taken the trouble to mention what the dishes on the table were. just a random arabic name and to make matters worse the staff had no idea what the dishes had. i was not expecting a gourmet description. just if the dish was lamb, beef or just vegetarian. one sweet chap even took the trouble of going away to check and came back with no answer. it would not have killed the restaurant to write 3-4 words in english under the arabic names of dishes. even though it was a buffet, the staff were serving it because of covid restrictions. and while they were trying their best, the restaurant was clearly understaffed and they were struggling to manage the constant stream of people queuing up for food. the selection of starters was very limited and the desserts were extremely ordinary and gelatinous. i ended up wasting a lot offoodtoday after a single bite and had my entire iftar meal in less than 45 mins ( including the wait time) with just black dal (only tolerable dish) and roti and walked out of there.

avoid!!

had the business lunch here in the brand new hilton hotel in their the spice tree restaurant there and the restaurant was amazing, big and spacious, they have set menu for veg and non veg which you can chose. had the veg thaali there was served with paneer tikka masala which was awesome, main course is paneer masala with parata, jeera rice and dal fry served with sweet sauce, papas and very amazing gajar ka halwa.

so if you are there with colleagues to try amazingfoodwith super cool ambience this is the go to restaurant.

valet parking available in hotel.
