As the evening starts, Buddha-Bar comes alive at 7 p.m. (and 8 p.m. on Saturdays) with an enchanting vibe. The place blends ancient Eastern style with modern tunes from top DJs, plus live shows. Expect to see amazing performers like aerialists, dancers, and drummers every night, making it a feast for the senses.

Buddha-Bar attracts a fashionable crowd, all there to taste its diverse Pan-Asian menu. Visitors from everywhere enjoy dishes like fresh sushi and famous lobster dumplings, while the Dragon Bar serves unique drinks such as the Far East Julep. Every part of Buddha-Bar speaks of luxury and fun.

Buddha Bar Dubai Reviews

From the moment I stepped into Buddha-Bar in Dubai, I was transported into a world where elegance meets entertainment. As I settled into the luxurious ambiance of Grosvenor House with the Dubai Marina providing a stunning backdrop, the place felt like a sanctuary crafted from dreams. The crimson drapes framing the vast windows and the gold Buddha statue presiding over the diners added a touch of drama and mystique to the evening. The food was a masterclass in pan-Asian cuisine, from the exquisite sushi course to the tantalizingly spicy tuna tartare. Every dish was an artistic creation, combining fresh flavors with imaginative presentation. It was evident why Buddha-Bar has been instrumental in popularizing pan-Asian flavors in Dubai. What truly elevated my experience was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that the evening was nothing short of perfect. The vibrant music and live performances infused energy throughout the night, creating a buzz that’s hard to find anywhere else. Buddha-Bar has solidified its place in Dubai's culinary scene not just as a restaurant but as a destination that promises an unforgettable night out. It is no surprise that it's a Travellers’ Choice 2023 winner on Tripadvisor. This place is more than a dining venue; it’s a celebration of culture, flavors, and high-quality entertainment that I can’t recommend enough.

Buddha Bar delivers on all fronts: delicious food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. Just make sure to book in advance as it tends to fill up quickly. We had Lobster dumplings and Wagyu Kushiyaki as a starter and on the picture Signature Chilli Prawns, Chicken Kung Pao and Coconut Rice In Banana Leaves.

Amazing vibes and atmosphere with music “Buddha-Bar” style music. Not only the plates were instagrammable but they tasted ever better! The service was very polite, helpful with suggestions and extra cautious with allergies. Don’t miss it if you are around!
