Buhayra Lounge — Restaurant in Dubai

I had 3 of the best, happiest and magical nights here smiling from heart dining and relaxing for our yearly one week vacation from Taiwan to Dubai in 2025 April, thanks to the prefect location, day and night view and it’s day to night scenery of watching Burj Khalifa and pool scenery of green to blue toned cool water, tree and tent day to night scenery, and the lounge’s overall chill, relaxing, and welcoming vibe, the fresh lobster, large buttered Asparagus, and salad. Particularly the welcoming hospitality of the lounge manager Suraj with very gentle manners, global knowledge, and polished communication skill, and so we had meaningful conversations. all the other friendly waiters from across the nations, especially Ashraf from Egypt with the warmest smile and friendliness, who generously recommended and offered me the best corner table to feel ease even eating alone with the best view and privacy, so do all the other members I do not know names but feel the bonds like friends, unlike other more commercial and superficial dining experiences I had in downtown Dubai. The memories, service and overall vibe , hospitality, dining and relaxation I experienced here was the combination of all welcoming elements for a life long memorable and highly impressive for very precious holidays. All the details add up to the perfection of a satisfying, relaxing and life long memorable...

MUST READ until the bottom for the secrets to this place

Pros:

-excellent 5 star customer service -above great food quality and variety, 4/5 stars -incredibly beautiful view if you're sitting outside (view over the burj khalifa, the fountain show and beautiful lineups of Palm trees dimly lit) -good variety of wines, on the pricy side though -Great bar just outside near the waterfront area, it serves cocktails and shisha. You'll enjoy a crazy stunning view while enjoying the rest of the evening.

Negatives:

-I couldn't find any, I'm honest!

TIPS AND TRICKS:

-do not dine and pay, buy the Groupon voucher and get to save tons of money. It's 115 dirhams per person if you buy it online. It's about 25 euros per person and you have a fine dinner! Unbelievable for dubai. -if you have a car, drive straight in, valet parking is available and it's free as long as you paid for your dinner. -once you go out on the outdoor area of the restaurant, go on the right hand side of the outdoor pool and just before the bar go right, you'll end up on a strip where nobody goes and there's stacks of chairs, grab some chairs, sit down and enjoy a unique view over the burj and fountain show, no tourists taking pictures or being in your way. It's truly unique.

Conclusion :

I barely give out 5 stars. This is fully a 5 star place with a 5 star review. Go and...

Review We had heard rave reviews of the suhoor buffet at Ewaan lounge and hubby decided to host a Boy's Night Out with about 8 of them. While me and the girls took a table at the other end. Just a catching up session for old friends. It was a good call as the place was extremely relaxing and peaceful with the food being a cut above the rest. Just what we were looking for.

Ambiance The lighting, decor, furnishings, carpets, fixtures, showpieces, interiors all played a magical role in making the ambiance not only romantic but a page out of an old Arabic folklore 1001 Arabian Nights. Everything was of utmost high quality and of course as the name of the hotel suggests, Palatial.

Food The food like the ambiance was gorgeous beyond description. Everything tasted heavenly. A special mention to the tender and flavorful Lemon & Herb Shrimps. Ewaan does have some of the best chef in town as usually the buffets in most five stars are quite generic. Definitely not this one. Kudos to the entire team.

Desserts Tried a little bit of half of the items, all of them were exotic and I wish had some more space in my stomach to try them all but we were already full from our Suhoor Buffet. Special mention to the Baklavas :)

Verdict Absolutely, Yes!
