5-Star Lunch Buffet for Two at Envy, in the Heart of Palm Jumeirah

TravelwithArben

7:35pm arrived at the hotel, we went straight to the receptionist to ask for the restaurant location. The restaurant was quite beautiful, they got different places for you to choose to sit. I love their outside seating area, the view was wonderful. Not just that they also have some area that looks like cabanas which I belive good for someone who likes to have less crowd and like to sit in the corner of the room a.k.a hide. We start our dinner journey by checking their buffet option. They charge AED190/person for a buffet or you can easily choose an A la carte menu by scanning their QR code. A guy approached us while we were checking the dessert area (we can't hold ourselves for this one haha), and he greatly explained to us their buffet flow. Without waiting any longer we started our Dinner and explored the buffet Potato Salad - under seasoned they should have added a little more something to make it tastier Ceasar salad - as always never failed me, the sauce was good Jalapeno popper - I love it, and I want to bring it home haha Arancini - It mentioned arancini with mushroom but I can't find any mushroom inside. It seems The Mushroom got a day off lol Bread selections - finally found a bread selection in. Buffet which is not hard like a stone. Awesome Stuffed Eggplant - The taste was different there was something with the flavor that gave me a kick of spice but if you have a nuts allergy be careful because it contained walnut innit Live Station Pasta - they have 3 pasta options so far remembered ( spaghetti - fusilli, and penne) which you can ask the chef to create your recipe and be crazy about it - As always I asked The chef to make spaghetti with red sauce which turned out so delish - Because of how addicted I am to their popper, I added it to my pasta :) Lemon rice - it's so flavourful and the aromatic herbs are amazing - They cooked the rice perfectly and perfect to complement every dish they had in the buffet area Seabass Fillet - I love the sauce and the fish texture - It did not have a fishy smell and the overall taste was so delicious Chicken Thai curry - the crunchy bokchoi and succulent chicken are a perfect combination, especially since the curry tastes almost The same as the actual authentic Thai food Beef striploin steak - It has a good flavor the beef is perfectly cooked Roasted potato - perfectly cooked and nice taste of herbs Stuffed cabbage - for my personal preference, it is overcooked and too mushy. I was expecting a bit crunchy same as the Thai bokcoi texture if they cook it that way for sure this dish will be more elevated Stir vegetable - sadly some of the veggies are dead (mushed),. Stirring veggies is easy but a bit tricky to handle because they have different types of vegetables you need to understand how long it takes to cook each vegies Creme caramel - It tastes delicious, but I can feel a bit lumpy inside the mixture probably because the chef does not strain the mixture before baking it. As my mother told me “Strsin first or you regret” Haha Chocolate pudding - so moist, so chocolate, and so delicious, so wanted to bring home haha Chocolate swiss roll - the sponge was so soft and the butter cream wasn't that overly sweet Chocolate - super duper must-taste! You will never feel regret Tiramisu - It's a perfect coffee flavor, jeez I can gain 10kg eating here haha can't resist Biscoff mousse - taste is good, for those who like Bischoff's flavor definitely must taste this Financier - nice but too sweet for me Lemon tart - lovely taste, after all that sweetness and chocolate finally found something tangy to clear up my palet The most challenging thing if you decide to eat in the buffet is cutleries, you have to always ask the server to refill your knife or fork for every fish you eat. Perhaps they did it so that there will be not much clearance for them to do but yeah to comment about it from a guest perspective is kind of inconvenient. The place was quite busy 7 tables in total with 2-4 people at each table, their service was so fast and the servers were also so actively removing the empty plates. Not just that they also keep checking each table for the guest's needs. The funny part is they have 3 different birthdays to celebrate including mine. They gave me a complimentary brownie cake as my birthday cake and sang the happy birthday song for me too. It has turned my night wonderful. A perfect way to complete the night after a long day There is something with this place that got me thinking, from the beginning we entered the restaurant until the end of the night. It is just a wonderful night, the breeze, the perfect foods until wonderful desserts Envy has created a memorable moment for me for that I thank you for the team. Overall experiences, I would like to recommend this place for you for Lunch or Dinner or even some celebration. The place that you will never regret to come.

The restaurant offered a good ambiance, we paid on arrival which was much preferred, there was a sax player walking around during brunch which offered good background music, without being too loud. The starters were of a high standard with lots of fresh fish along with meats, salads etc. The main course choice was plentiful, although I would recommend a chef carving the meat, allowing people to do it themselves, made a mess of the joint, other dishes offered a good standard. Our servers Ravi and Lisa were a little slow at first but quickly speed up as brunch progressed they were then extremely professional and ensured that our drinks flowed. This brunch is currently on the entertainer and excellent value for AED 200. They had a kids selection of food for those with children and sat families close to this station so not disturbing other diners without children.

From 1-4 pm, it was the perfect afternoon filled with delicious food, fantastic vibes, and friendly service. The live saxophone player created a wonderful atmosphere, and the life stations with BBQ and a huge variety of seafood and international dishes were incredible. Everything we tried was so flavorful, and the service was super fast - big shoutout to Cristin for taking such good care of us! A huge thank you to Chef Philip for the amazing food! #EnvyDubai #BrunchGoals #Delicious #GreatService
