Opinions BUBBALICIOUS BRUNCH Dubaï City

Been here twice, once on a normal vacay, and once during Easter. They are very kid friendly. They even have a secret bar for those with a black bracelet. The Easter event had a person dressed up as a bunny and they walked around, all though some children were scared. The Easter event even had bunny cookies scattered around the buffet. Highly recommended, but service was a bit hard to get, coz they wouldn’t go up to you and check, since it’s a buffet.

Completely over-priced and overrated experience. 450 a pop and we had to queue for our own drinks. The only outstanding was the playlist. Would not recommend it return. Way more enjoyable, better placed & value for money brunches out there.

They say Buballicious would be one of the best brunches in Dubai. Really? Booked, got confirmation and went there on Saturday, the 3rd of February 2024. Brunch is scheduled 1-4pm. Arrived at 1.30pm and they couldn’t find my name on the list. As it turned out, I didn’t bother to re-confirm my reservation, therefore the system kicked me out from the list. Anyway, they managed to assign me a table by 2pm. next to a Russian family with small kids. Then they put on my wrist a coloured bracelet marking the booze category I’ve chosen, so anyone from the audience could read it off. I perceived it as disconcerting as it was poorly conceived and thought through. In the end I managed to fix that dog tag under my watch.
Hot drinks weren’t included in any package. Ordered a mint lemonade which is famous in the Levant and got industrially produced, artificially tasting concoction. At these price I’ve expected a freshly squeezed one.
Waiters who served me were some like teenagers looking Asians speaking poor English. Communication was difficult, they were poorly trained and out of their depth. The waitress didn’t know the difference between a sauce and a mayonnaise. Seafood wasn’t special, guess it was from some farm. It was hard to pull the shrimps. As I don’t like steamed seafood placed on ice, I selected some prawns and lobsters and asked the Indian cooks to barbecue them. They made an overtaxed and disoriented impression. In the end they managed to tackle it. The ordered garlic mayonnaise arrived at my table one hour later. Best of all was the BBQ and smoker station. Brisket from the smoker and charcoal barbecued flank steak were top-notch: quality meat, tender and juicy. A well prepared quality product was the foie gras. The cheese variation was great, however the desserts didn’t convince me – pretty basic stuff.
Asked one of the supervising waiters to order to me the responsible manager of the event as I wanted to talk to him, but nobody appeared.
Bottom line: Quantity instead of class. There are some lovely dishes, but as a whole, it doesn’t justify the exorbitant price.

Very very good! The food is incredible (especially the curry) service very good as well, nice people and the atmosphere is great.

If you do one Brunch... tbh definitely the place to go... quite staggering the range of food all of which is excellent, staff are great... tourists... use sun cream even in winter.. looking like a lobster is not a great look !

I do have great photos but app won't go to the date of visit...

Feeling let down since reading all the great reviews. Not a single dish was delicious, so much food and so much waste. The music was extremely loud we couldn’t hear each other speak. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it, there are better brunches in Dubai.

This branch is so amazing..????????????Good job babalicious

The Saturday Brunch is great, the servers are great, and the quantity is plentiful. It seems a little overpriced since most people can't eat that much but still worth the experience.

What a great dinning experience! Lucky to spend last Saturday along with family members at this event. And wow what a treat, great food, along with cool music, and quirky entertainment, makes this a must to do event in Dubai.....

Love it to bits ????

A Festive Affair at Bubbalicious New Year's Brunch

Positive:
1. Bubbalicious stands out as one of Dubai's largest brunch experiences, making it perfect for celebratory occasions.
2. The atmosphere at the brunch is truly amazing, creating a vibrant and enjoyable setting.
3. The diverse range of food and drink options adds to the overall appeal of the brunch.

Negative:
1. It would be helpful if the expansive layout had a table food menu with a spread map for better navigation.
2. Some guests may feel a bit left out if not seated in Mena's Kitchen, where the primary action seems to unfold.
3. Minor disappointment as ice cream flavors ran out before the brunch concluded.

Overall, Bubbalicious New Year's Brunch lives up to its reputation as a top choice for celebrating special occasions, offering a memorable experience despite a few minor areas for improvement.

The best brunch in Dubai in our opinion. We go every year and it's excellent. Great service and excellent food and entertainment

Quantity over quality.
Bubbalicious is supposedly one of the top brunches in Dubai, and when you first walk in and see the food selection you will be wowed; especially the dessert section. However the desserts are all meh. It's honestly not worth the calories.
There is a lot of food variety but nothing really stood out as really nice.

The entertainment was interesting and a bit random. There was a mime, jugglers, drummers, 2 dwarfs walking round blowing bubbles, a lady dressed up as sweets, and 2 women dressed as hippies.
The "DJ" was good although the sound engineer didn't know what he was doing. The bass was so loud you couldn't hear the music, just constant bass.
The singer was the best thing about the entertainment and would sing good songs.

In my opinion Bubbalicious is not worth it for the price you pay. There are other brunches I have been to which serve up much higher quality food.

Amazing Saturday with friends , celebrating a birthday. Great music and atmosphere at Bubbalicious. All you can eat (Asian,Continental, meat including pork and all kinds of sea food). Unlimited alcohol (beer, wine, cocktails, champagne) depending on type of wrist band you choose. Loved the desserts. If you go there, try to be hungry as there are plenty to choose from. Brunch is timed between 1-4pm and finishes at 4pm with expectation of all tables to be empty by 5pm.

Best brunch deals in Dubai with great outdoor

A brunch from 1pm-4pm;
Entrance not permitted until 1.15-1.30pm
Asking for a drink at 4pm + 10 seconds having been stood in a queue - no chance

Service is what counts and you failed on the basics

Our favourite brunch in Dubai. Bubbalicious is a family friendly brunch and this is one not to be missed. The food selection is stunning, the dessert table is massive, the entertainment was great, the staff were very helpful and the atmosphere here is amazing. This brunch is a solid 10/10

The best branch/lunch event that you can ask. !!!

Bubbalicious is rated as the second best brunch in Dubai. It is well deserved.
We were looking for a fun brunch where kids could join. So this place suited us.
For the kids, they have some nice entertainment and play area. The downside is that they charge a very high price for kids above 6. To pay AED 300 for a 7 year old is nearly outrageous since they barely eat and drink water or juice.
The pla

For the adults, the food options are great, quality is very good for a brunch. Variety is insane but no need to say much about it since that is what this brunch is best known for.

The deserts are another story and the displays (until they get ravaged by guests) decadent.

Atmosphere is great, live music, entertainers walking around and engaging with guests. Nice drinks as well. We went for the champagne package, and LP was flowing.

The service is decent for a brunch with so many people.

We really felt that at 4 the brunch ended too early.

Bottom line Bubblelicious is an amazing place to brunch.

Wow, wow, wow. Wir haben schon zahlreiche Brunch-Events in Dubai und Abu Dhabi besucht. Das Bubbalicious im Westin ist aber jedesmal eine Klasse für sich. Die Kulinarik ist von der Qualität und Präsentation unglaublich. Der Service ist professionell und freundlich. Und die Stimmung großartig. Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste mal!

The best water I have ever tasted in dubai, anyway the place was amazing, so much variety and the staff were friendly and attentive, I love how everyone was just so welcoming

This was a super experience as there was so much food to choose from. Drinks were continually filled up (Rose sparkling wine) however you could select other drinks. The friendly buzz was infectious with lots and lots of different parties enjoying themselves. The only down side I would have to mention is the actual noise level. You find yourself having to shout to your companions. We were inside but I have heard that in the cooler months it is possible to sit outdoors. Would I go back??? Definitely.

I can't believe how bad everything is now in this brunch. My wife and I used to love it, and now is one of the most terrible places I have been in all Dubai. The woman behind our table collapsed in the table FACE DOWN IN THE PLATE due to bad sea food (apparently scallops). Also two waiters were just taking chairs from my table because they didn't see anyone sitting in the table and when I ask them to put them back their answer was sorry but I wasn't sitting in the table and I had to go and ask the manager to put them back. Also, my wife found a piece of broken glass in her wine and cut her mouth with it, and no one did anything about it and just tried to pretend it wasn't them. We asked for a refund for my wife's incident, and they said they couldn't do it, but next time, they were upgrading us if we bought the normal bracelet.

OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE NEVER COMING BACK! THEY CAN STAY WITH THEIR UPGRADE

Horrendous, 800 dibs for self service and have the privledge of queuing 20 minutes for each type of food, clear your own table of plates and glasses. Access and exit is extremely time consuming, I came 4 or 5 years ago and vowed i would never return, this time it was paid for so thought I would give it another try..... big mistake. Horrid.

Food ok …. For the price ..was amazed with variety of sweets and cakes ???? but when i get to taste horrible cheap cakes I've tasted 8different kind nothing tasty…horrible …….what a shame
No fruits at all was really disappointed.
Place is beautiful staff also …nice atmosphere ,nothing wow 450 per person since we don't drink … nice music
