You will never miss this restaurant as it is located just in front of the entrance and you have to literally just work straight when you are in entrance to reach this restaurant. The interior is very gorgeous. The food here is a little mediocre but still enjoyable in many ways!

Patrons looking for a taste of home can find it at the award winning Great British Restaurant (GBR) where diners can sample timeless British cuisine from sumptuous roasts to the crowd-favourite fish and chips. GBR is open all-day, every day from breakfast through lunch and dinner. The venue not only offers a fabulous selection of British dishes, but also a wide-range of international plates. Apart from its views, the restaurant’s open-plan, spacious design makes it the ideal location for special celebrations and events and group dining.

Went for iftar buffet the food was good but the service was average and not organised . I think the place is not designed for a buffet style dining more like a pub.Make sure to ask about indoor or outdoor seating as they seem to choose randomly and you get surprised upon arrival

4 mths ago I reviewed the place with full of dissatisfaction but now THANK YOU for IMPROVEMENT ❤Again visited the place as noticed the changes there. Yes, management changed and huge differences than before:♡ now dinner buffet cost 120AED per person;♡ not about cost reduction, various of food sections and it is tastie;♡ music is more lounge music which you can relax and enjoy with your food;♡ waiters are very respectful and attentiveBelow one was my previous review with dissatisfaction but now all gone everything perfect 👌(Open buffet dinner in GBR: waiter was attending, food is ok, available outdoor & indoor dining areabut, 😷 MASK my friendly advise: while visiting this restaurant keep extra mask in your pocket/bag, because if you lost/mask felt down/forgot or some reason need mask, they DONT provide it. While all hotels, restaurants, any entrances do, one of the best location dont. Manager will ask your mask and if you request one he does say: We dont have mask, without mask stay on your table (very rude) I got my husbands mask and visited the food station.MUSIC overloud, not relaxing at all, while having dinner in hotel restaurant/lounge it should be more chilling music instead loudly. (Our resident friends also said same thing loud music annoying them while they are on the garden) We requested it to waiter and yes, they did volume lower, Thank you.Dinner buffet price is: 190AED per person)

If you go on the Palm in a hotel, you have to book the Duke hotel the Palm. Why?A 1st pool on the border of its private beach.This 1st pool has a private island with 4 chairs in the pool to lay down.Perfect beach with 40C water in July.A 2nd swimming pool on the 14th floor at 32C with a private view on the Palm.Service quality from a 5*: during covid19, everything was sanityzed after usage, gel everywhere and enforcement of masks.For more and for a good price on the Palm, just book it.

Probably one of the worst 5 star restaurants in Dubai and the iftar buffet was average because:1- Variety is less compared to other restaurants3- no seafood although advertised to have it3- chefs and stuff filling the plates are not well educated not know what they are doing4- sweets were below average and the only thing was delicious is jelly’s and marshmallow!!!!!

With regards to this restauraunt they certainly dont think of the residence directly opposite, appauling bad music all evening while im in my garden speakers should be directed inward not outward facing residences and im sure this is law so either they dont care or have no idea but its not on you guys need to sort it out and direct music inward i dont stay in the residence to listen to this rubbish every night sort it out i will be looking into this with the appropriate authorities

A wonderful addition to the growing gastronomy in Palm Jumeirah. Food is amazing and cooked to perfection, service cant be beaten! Chic British inspired interiors. Try the little cocktail bar upstairs, the staff prepare at your table. Only downside is the portion sizes for sides are a bit small for what you pay

I went here for a dinner during the working days. The place is chic and done beautifully.The restaurant is large with many views.Food is above the averagePrice is reachable for a 5 stars hotel.Staff are attentive and welcomingthe only area that needs to be improve is the food smell. As the restaurant has an open kitchen and I guess poor ventilation!

The breakfast buffet is one of the best i have encountered. Everything is covered for all nationalities from cereals and fruit, flavoured yoghurt to hot. Eggs cooked the way you like them,the bacon (turkey or beef) cooked to order, all done with chefs saying good morning and a smile. They also do great crepes, waffles and pancakes with flavoured maple syrups. The floor staff are so polite and attentive but not intrusive with prompt coffee and tea service. The GBR resturant is a great way to start your day when in Dubi.

Went there for evening buffet , for being Great British restaurant they dont serve pork. Disappointed that despite taking it up with the manager , the groupon voucher which stated one house beverage included in deal they said it was not . The deal almost become void as drinks are expensive , we did point out what was printed but it was just stated they didnt do that . Host ladies need a lot more training they seemed confused over our basic booking for a table for two and had no idea about groupon deal . Not what I expect from a 5 star venue . Wont be back .

Great service with half board you get the buffet for free, the drinks you have to pay everywhere as usual, coke about 7 euros beer 12, bottle of water 6. There are alternating theme nights like Italian or Arabic. Very nice salad buffet and dessert selection, all the finest quality. The breakfast buffet is even fresh crepes! which is not everywhere. Definitely a recommendation for breakfast and in the evening! For lunch I never tried it but should be just as good.

Really great, the food is well presented and tastes delicious too.The breakfast buffet is rich, there is something for every taste.In the evening there are different themed buffets, sometimes international, sometimes Mexican, etc. Really great. The dessert is visually great, real patisserie art. It also tastes really good.A star deduction because there is no drink despite having booked half board and a small Coke costs 7 euros, thats really usury!

Review №53

The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the staff is always very friendly and hard-working. We were always happy at the different theme evenings with what was offered. There was something for every taste. Also was freshly prepared behind the counter food, with very nice cooks. The only thing we found something violent, were the drink prices.
