I like the music there, fancy ambience, OK service (not WOW, but good), ... food, well, i dont really think that people are coming there because of food or Chefs ideas... I believe, that is a good place for drinks and friends chat... And if you r hungry: Torro Torro is just next door...

Went to Buddha Bar to have a few drinks with a client and colleagues. The atmosphere is fantastic and the service is first class. The price tag is what you would expect from Buddha Bar - expensive. If you are driving to Buddha Bar on a busy night expect to queue with your car, eventually handing the keys to the... More

This restuarant was first class, If you want a quiet and romantic smoke free evening then ask for the no smoking tables. You will not be dissapointed, the menu is not that big but the food is excellent with a wide choice of fine wines and beers, I recomend the Asai the Japanese beer. The service was 1st class as...

Classy restaurant with a hefty price tag. However, the delicious Thai food and the exciting and lively atmosphere make up for it. Upon entering, you can't help but gasp at the 10 meter high Buddha statue and the utter beauty of the place. Full of beautiful and classy people. Music was excellent and lively, but a little too loud. Marina... More

Book a table in advance, non smoking if preferable. Great sushi and atmosphere. A hot spot in Dubai. A bit expensive as expected.

Its a place to go with a bunch of people. get a round table in the main area with Budha looking at you and order some Japanese, drink some good wine and enjoy the music. The service here is amazing. We went with clients from Europe and they loved it. Like every such place in Dubai - expect to melt... More

VERY noisy, very busy, very fast service - the scenic spot is the main dining hall... Food is fine though not memorable, service is "busy" and pricing adequate. An ever busy weekend spot.

On a 3 day visit to Dubai, we were recommended Buddha Bar as somewhere worth eating. Our table was at 9 pm at which time the place was pretty busy. We were giving a table for 2 in the main restaurant area next to the floor to ceiling glass windows. The tables are nicely spaced apart and you get some... More
