Had heard nothing but good things about Buddha Bar Dubai and was very excited to be going. I wasn't disappointed. Didn't have the food, although it looked amazing and would surely be a treat for a special occassion. Staff super efficient and friendly, great atmosphere and the music...well words fail me, could have stayed all night More
