The best part of all...the cheese room! I was in heaven. Drinks were... More

So far our choices have been focused on: - Arab cold mezze platter (hummus, tabouleh, babaghanouj, moutabel, zaatar labneh, Fattoush salad with Arabic bread) - Chicken Tikka Masala (Tender pieces of tandoori...

Spectrum on one is one of my favourite restaurants in Dubai. I love the concept of having 5 different kitchens in one menu. You could easily jump from a far Asian fusion starter, to a nice Indian curry and finish off your meal with a perfect crème brûlée. The service is swift, to the point and friendly, a rare combination... More

Brunch experience was great. Not the usual Dubai standard of loud party goers just getting drunk. Don't get me wrong, The alcohol package was very good too but the food was outstanding. I would definitely return. More

I've been frequenting Spectrum ever since it opened about 10 years ago. I've always loved the variety of cuisines served (Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, European, etc), the ambiance and impeccable service, but my favorite inducement was it's early-bird 41% discount for diners who finished eating before 8:30pm. I have been back several times since the discount was withdrawn ( last... More
