They are overpriced !...
It was either saying this in the beginning of my review or give them just 3 stars and go on for hours explaining why !...
Their food selection is pretty decent, they had a shawermah skewer being served in Saj mini sandwishes but I felt really bad for the chief handling this task because he was the only one and apparently cant keep up with the orders of the customers, he had to roast the meat, prepare the sandwish in Saj Wrap, then toast it !! so the shawermah was pretty tasty but took time to prepare...
As for the food they had some decent selection by the time I visited including:-
1) Steamed Fish wrapped in Banana Leave (5/5)
2) Biryani Rice (Didn't try it)...
3) Veal beef in Tomato Sauce (4/5)
4) White Rice (Didn't try it)
5) Fried Cheese Pastry (5/5)
6) Baked Potato with Cheese (4/5)
7) Orka Stew (Looks good but Didn't try it)
8) Basil Stew (Looks good but Didn't try it)
9) Chicken Shawermah in Toasted Saj Wrap (5/5) although small portions...
10) Stir Fried/Steamed Vegetables (4/5)
11) Indian crackers with Mango SPicy Sauces etc.. (Didn't try it)
Salads:-
Many Green Salads Including, Greek Salaed, Green Salad, Rocca Sala, Taboleh, Humus, Mojadara *Lentil and Rice*, Baba Ganooj etc...
Cheeses & Ham...
Soup of the day (Lentil Soup) (3.75/5)
A variety of Breads in a separate bar which looks pretty decent...
Sweets:-
- Red Valvet Cake
- Umm Ali With Berries (Tasted pretty awesome !...) (4.5/5)
- Cheese Sweet (Halawat Jibin) (4/5)
- Other Sweet Selections too in small cups which I haven't tried !... (Looks decent)
Other Thoughts...
Staff were really Professional/Polite and intuitive...
Service was Excellent Overall...
The only drawback is the price, 135 AED Including softdrinks and free served water is a bit overpriced IMO, food selection was good but not Excellent, the quality of the food however was really good and tasted amazing !...
I would go again but they should really consider bringing the price down a bit or offering Business Lunch Buffet, competitors in the area such as Premier Inn used to offer (and probably gonna offer again soon...) pretty similar Buffet (Including Drinks, Salads, Mains, Sweets, Soups) surprisingly for just 60 AED during business lunch...
Good luck,
Cosy place to have dinner with family
Options are limited but cover most of the different tastes
The salad bar is good; but i cant say the same for the fruit options
I would have given 5 rating if the juices were included
Staffs 5/5
Food 4/5
Ambience 5/5
Price 💷 💷/ 💷 💵 💵
We had a buffet, the food was excellent really loved it. The staffs were very generous and kind, the place was quite and chill. A nice place to hang out really. The price was a normal buffet price. I would really like to come again! 😋 👌🏻 👍🏻
Had farewell dinner with my friend there. Its a good place, nice and quiet. The food is of a good quality, fresh and tasty. Even though not that much variety but cooked gently. Staff is just great very kind and helpful. Want to try their brunch, should be good.
We had A Birthday Gal Mrs. Clarrisa Aunty celebrating her unique birthday over a Friday Brunch at C Taste Centro Rotana.
Such an awesome place for family together. Lavish buffet spread and awesome artists Live Music.
Friendly Staff and very professional service. Love the place.Clarrisa

From iftar @centrocapcentre ✨✨
Totally impressed with the Pleasant ambience and Extremely good service ✅✅
Enjoyed every portion of food and ended up hanging around the sweet corner as always 🍰🍹🎇 Red Velvet cake was one of the yummiest I have ever had 🍰💓
I was pleased to be invited at C Taste Restaurant, Capital Centro Center near the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center last Friday.
I was quite impressed that the restaurant and the lobby is instagrammable. You can take a lot of photos because of the lovely frames and shades.
You got an option for Arabic and International dishes and there is also some Arabic dessert on the side.
Enjoy their Pastries from Cakes and Muffins. What I love is the Marble Cake and the Butterscotch mousse.
For drinks, you have options for Apple, Orange and Pineapples Juice as well as alcoholic beverages of your choice but I choose not to drink that day as the weather is very hot.
Overall, it was a good brunch but I believe they can do more. The selection is quite limited as I have also discussed with the staff. As for the service, they are very attentive as they always check on our needs.

We went for a Family Lunch Buffet for a Friday weekend. The food was good especially the options in the Salads and appetizer counter. The options on the main meals counter wasn't many, but all of them were good.
As for the Desserts counter, I wasn't quite happy. The options were not many and none of them tasted great for my taste.
The ambiance and the number of seating were good. As for the staff, they were fairly attentive. I say fairly attentive because it took them some time to clear our tables, but not really long. Given the peak hour of their day, I wouldn’t really complain about it. However, I see that the Cutlery were also on self-service. It would have been easier if they brought us the cutlery as soon as they cleared the tables between each session. It took me some time to find the spoons and forks, at first when I wanted a replacement.
12/10/2016 Came here for brunch. Wednesday. Did not expect the place to have lots of people. But it was not crowded. The place is big and spacious. The tables have good distance to each other. Good number of servers. Place was dim litted with yellow lights. I loved that the place had sa coffee maker. You can choose your preferred coffee. Tea is also available. Soft drink and water are available. The food was not great but it was good. The problem was they have only few choices. 5-6 main course which the other variants I was not familiar, 1 rice, 1 soup. The rest were fruits, veg, bread, and desserts. No indian food. The variants i think were most likely Arabic and European. Price range is from 120-250. Every friday they have live music at brunch.
Centro Capital Centre is located in Abu Dhabi close to Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). This Holy month of Ramadan they serve Middle Eastern Cuisine for Iftar in C. Taste restaurant which is in the ground floor. We have tried their Iftar last night and in my surprise there were many people gathered up already. I thought we arrived late! However, people were preparing their foods to be on their table so that when the Azan will start, you can just start up breaking your fasting.
The place is far from the center of AD.
This place offers few selection but wonderfully made dishes. I love the soup, the salads, the main, the desserts.. Everything actually.
I now know why when I booked for 7pm and while wait for Iftar, other guests have been busy getting their Iftar ready. Then I realized later that food ran out so quickly I didn't even get the chance to taste the quail dish (only the rice is left).
I paid 399 for 6 persons and I guess that is a very good deal.
What's bad about this place is that everything is self served. I would have loved it more if the plates are cleared immediately from our table and of the drinks are served on the table too. But then I kind of understand the setup because the tables were so close to each other that it's difficult to walk around + kids are running around 😞

I love the set-up of our table. It has the basic needs for breaking your fasting ( dates & water ). I was not able to take photos of their buffet outside and I’m very sad about that. Because I really want to share how nicely their buffet was organised and the spirit of Ramadan is in presence.
Food is definitely delicious especially the roasted lamb and the variety of rice dishes they have prepared. I was not able to take the names too. I have to go back here and edit this! Only the soup I didn’t like. The corn soup for me is a bit salty.
It costs 158 dhs for their sumptuous buffet that includes beverages. I have used the online reservation to book a table instead of calling. I find it very convenient and easy to do. If there’s any special request or something you would like them to be aware of you can jot that down on the Note section. An email confirmation will be sent to you in a matter of second.
The salad spread is to die for..great ambience and excellent service..the staff are very courteous.thank you for a good evening
The main course was decent enough
Hope this service is continued
(Updated)
June'18 - It's been a while since I've come back here, but finally decided it's time again. We came for late lunch on the last day of Ramadan, and it turned out to be a good decision since only a few tables were occupied when we walked in, but then we had the whole place to ourselves by the time we settled down.
The salads are exceptional, so much so that I actually filled myself up with the salads that I didn't have much room for the mains. The hot mezzes were good too, especially the kibbeh. I did sample one plate of all the mains, but I'm surprised still that there hasn't been too much of an improvement, nothing impressed enough to try again. The desserts were limited, but good enough keep the family engaged.
I still like this place because of the ambience, it's quiet and relaxed, provided you pick the right time to get here (Iftar and Eid was actually jam packed, so you need to choose your timings wisely). I used the Etisalat Smiles voucher, so I got a 2-for-1 deal at 135AED incl. water and soft drinks.
2016 - Tried the buffet breakfast and dinner while we stayed here. The location of the hotel is quite good, and getting in and out is a breeze.
The ambience is nice, the service is good.
The breakfast is quite busy most of the time, but with the adequate options to keep you going. It's hearty, and doesn't disappoint.
Downside: You have to get the hot drinks yourself, since the service guys are too busy attending/clearing tables, and both the machines would be buzzing with people all the time.
The dinner is quiet and relaxed. The service was good this time.
The salads are good, and the only thing I came back for more. There wasn't much on the mains that brought me back twice, and the selection was limited. The one thing that caught my eye was the lasagne, but the tray was missing throughout the night. It finally arrived almost an hour later, but it wasn't worth the wait, being quite soupy & lacking in texture/taste.
There is definite scope for improvement and I would mind coming back considering the relaxed ambience.
Update (Fri Evng, Jan '16) - Once again the salad are good, while the mains are hit and miss on taste.
But I upped the rating this time cos of the ambience and overall experience. If you are looking for a quiet night out, without any city hustle bustle or parking woes, this is definitely the place to go.
(The above only applies for dinner, breakfast/brunch is a totally opposite story)
Not much variety.....only two kind of juices ....the pancake are horrible don't even think of trying it .....comparing the food with the price ....it is over priced
Great place for lunch if you're working in the area.
Always fresh and great selection of salads and hot foods.
Will definitely go back again soon.
A pretty decent breakfast that comes along with the room. Centro is the concert night stayover for my friends and I.
They serve breakfast till pretty late, and we walk in the last minute and fill our plates up; and have a seat in the very spacious and lively seating area, and have our breakfast. Even though the breakfast time is up, they serve us coffee and even help us get food from inside the kitchen (we should really stop doing that).
The food is actually very good, and ranges from different varieties of eggs, from an omelette station to boiled, a huge selection of bakery items from bread to croissants. Bacon, beans, basically every continental breakfast item you can imagine. The coffee they serve is really good too.
Would really opt for breakfast if staying the night at centro, or actually head there in the area for breakfast.
