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

butter chicken need drastic imporvement....they served funjabi pasta with roti....dal makhni is good...planner tikka is a definite try. the waiters need to recommend on breads as the bread along with the dish not sufficient and then you have to wait for the breads. mutton biryani needs major improvement ....the chef should go to ghazebo & caesar's restaurant and try butter chicken and mutton/chicken biryani. overall decent experience but hightimethey should look into mughali dishes also not much options available with fresh fruit juices

their staff has no value for the customer'stimethat'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 the food and asked for the bill.
the staff wearing brown coat was taking his sweettimeto come so i approached the cashier to see him chatting with his manager. thank you for wasting my time.

amazing family dinnertimeat the spice tree at the double tree hilton at mankhool. tried all their amazing dishes from gaulati kebab, aghani murg, chicken tikka as starters. all of them were amazing especially the galauti kebebs. also tried their chicken momos and wing money pot, both were very good too. for main course, tried their sikenderi raan, paneer tikka masala with garlic and cheese naan and finally finished up with their biryani. everything was very good. the huge place was empty and there were only a few waiters around but the chef came and gave us very good recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed.

a gorgeous property right in the heart of the city and an iftar spread where there's something for everyone. even on a very busy evening, the staff are serving everyone with the essential gear to maintain hygiene and proper distancing.

the spice tree is an indian restaurant in the hotel and the iftar buffet unlike the regular ones not only has the salads, mezze and traditional arabic dishes but also a good spread of indian spiced kebabs, fresh breads from the tandoor and also some indian mains. there is also a huge selection from international cuisines.

chef gautam sethi, the main man behind the scenes is personally there to ensure everything is smooth sailing. his secret recipe of the bread dough kept the bread soft and fresh even after sometimeof it being ready. the spices are perfect and would suit any palate.

chef gayan, the pastry chef again is personally there to serve his choice of some unique and brilliant desserts. the honey pecan pie was just one of his many specialists - the taste of which still lingers in my mouth.

my verdict - this iftar is not the regular one and the crowd did confirm this.
