EAT ALL YOU CAN BUFFET
========================

This is one of the memorable buffets I'd had for a long time. I would say the selection is insane. They have a lot of Irani Dishes, arabic dishes and other intercontinental food to offer. It was amazing.
.
I was already drooling when I arrived in their place since I can see the bountiful buffet and I can smell the good aroma from the grilled food. I love their seafood selection😁. Especially the crabs, squid, shrimps and fish. They also have grilled chicken and kebabs. They have a salad section and a wide dessert section you will really enjoy.
.
One thing that was really important for me as well was their staff were very accomodating and attentive.🙏 I also love how spacious their place is. I will definitely wanna go back again ♥
Good food, good ambiance , worth for money , friendly staffs. some suggestions- should have included some mutton gravy items and must include more vegetarian dishes . overall experience was good . highly recommended for office team lunch event etc
Surprisingly good food for a fair price! Good range of seafood and chicken dishes, salad and desserts. Staffs were all helpful and assist us well.
Very good buffet serving Iranian cuisine with reasonable prices. the variety of food is excellent & even could be compared with hotels buffet, always available seafood (shrimps, crabs, fillet, fried humor & squid) also mix grills, biriani, nashef meat, chicken livers fajita & many appetizers.
Salad bar is fantastic & sweets also.

Overall it is a must try place in the city.
Nice place to eat good quality and quantity food.... 😍😍😘😘 Menu is perfect, something for everyone. Service was awesome Please give our thanks to the Manager(s) and others
Underrated restaurant in Dubai. Great ambiance on gallery sitting area and reasonably good food. Best value for your money. It is in old but gold part of Dubai that is why it is overlooked. Must visit at least once a year!
A great iranian buffet spread. Nice place for business dinners and for entertaining business clients as its located in the heart of the business district in Dubai. The variety of food is humungous and tha flavor is quite good.

There is food for every taste and liking .
The staff of this branch however could use some training to welcome customers more warmly and friendly and make them at ease . So this is my little request from Danial’s management to train them a bit more . They are professional, i am not complaining , but given the overall ambiance of the place they could make customers feel more comfortable and overall enjoy their visit .
I liked the Danial mazaya branch ( Dubai) more because we were served fresh hot bread in basket on our table there and staff was more friendly .
I would also like to say kudos and thankyou to Danial marketing team and social media team ,as they are very professional and efficient with vouchers and giveaways 👍🏼👏🏼 .

went for buffet also many times this time ordered some grill items, the mixx grill was juicy and perfectly grilled to perfection! totally enjoyed
Nice place with good outdoor dining area, quite a huge range of main course, attentive staff... Some items were cold, the icecream was to be paid extra for and same goes for the drinks. Also, there is no parking.
Going to Danial for the first time, I had a lot of expectations. Some of them were met but some weren’t. For example, some of the foods weren’t covered, which made it very unhygienic as there were flies circling the food. The uncovered food was also cold and wasn’t regulated at the right temp. However, the Arabic dishes were of amazing quality! I would’ve brought some back home if I could! Really enjoyed the Arabic food! Definitely a must try! Would go back again, but hope that the issue with he uncovered food is solved.

Although, this is a Iranian Restaurant, it offers a wide variety of dishes. I have been here a couple of times (on many occasions) and the food has never disappointed me.
Their Buffets include a large selection of Salads, Appetisers, Main courses ranging from Arabic, Persian, Italian, Oriental and even International cuisines, along with a good selection of Desserts as well.
This place is usually packed and bookings would make it convenient, especially during Eid, Ramadan or on weekends.
Having outdoor seatings is just perfect during the winter season.
Staff mannerisms, atmosphere and food is upto par. Had an amazing experience each time I've visited here with family.
Visited this place for buffet during Eid night , the place was packed , they had a wide range of items for buffet for just Dhs 65/- only . They had a lot of seafood options as well which I really love the most . The only thing which was not included in the buffet was the drinks and icecream . Staff people were friendly and quick enough when it comes to their service . Ambience wise place is decent not bad at all . Over all , Danial serves good food and I very much enjoyed it .
We went here for an iftar buffet and it was amazing. The ambiance was good and cozy . The food was lovely especially the spread . It was crowded though but definitely worth the money.
Really good ambiance, service is amazing , buffet is the best part in danial , continental food really good , I have no words it's just a really good restaurant 👌🏻
The custard was just amazing . I would suggest everyone who loves continental food .
Had lunch buffet with some guests. The spread is so vast that you are somehow confused to select. They have a very good sea food platter and the grills are also good. The appetizer and the dessert sections are also quite nice. Lots of selection. Definitely a good option when you have a real craving for food.
Worth the money you pay for. Tried to just taste every item in the buffet, but it's impossible😝
Try this for an authentic Iranian taste.
Crabs, shrimps and hamour were the best.
Also got a lot of varieties of grills of chicken and meat. Even got shawermas wrapped and kept together 😝
The dessert section is all about middle eastern delicacies, and don't underestimate, they are nice too.
Gets busy, especially during weekends. But always go when's it's crowded, to get some hot food 😉
Free parking under the basement.
We always bring our clients here especially who are not from UAE. Mostly our Korean visitors. It's affordable, the taste so good and the view was awesome
Perfect Mixture of Arabian and Desi variety. Though I was there during Iftar, the staff was really helpful, they guided us through our seats and helped us with the food.
Food: 8/10
Ambience: 8/10
Service: 9/10
My advice is to book yourself in advance so you dont have to wait till the last minute to get seated. :)
Recommended.
Definitely a good place to go if you want to check out Iranian or Persian food. They have a humongous variety of food that will make you go cray over it. Located right inside the twin towers (ROLEX building) on the other side of the creek, Deira.

This restaurant is one of the toppers of my 'favourite restaurant' list. The reason being I can blindfoldedly go there whenever I've a craving but not sure of what.
It's an Iranian restaurant but serves an array of different dishes as well. So apparently you can still go there even if you're not feeling like having only Iranian cuisine.
Lunch buffet: Rating 4.5
For AED 65 this lunch buffet is bliss. The entrée options are quite vast. I've got over the fact that they serve some packaged stuffs like nuggets and chicken strips in the entrée counter because the in house, made from scratch dishes outnumber those.
The main course counter had the maximum number of variety during lunch. From shrimps and crabs several ways in the sea food counter to a variety of succulent kebabs and rice dishes! Most of the dishes tasted good.
Dessert counter had the maximum number of varieties during lunch as well. My favourites here are Umm Ali and the pudding among few more. The Persian tea after a crazy meal is heavenly in here. The decoration is quite impressive as well.
The beautiful Creek view from the outdoor seating area is unbeatable. For us, all these have made this a great place to take friends and family who visit us in Dubai.
Dinner buffet: 4
Dinner buffet is all the above but with less variety than the lunch buffet.
My overall rating for Danial is a little over 4 but since I can't rate it any number between 4 and 4.5 I'm giving it a 4.
Am I gonna give them a second chance? Yeeeeeeeeeeeees.
Following the same concept as the other Danials restaurant this Danials has a little bit more of a better atmosphere and ambience to it .... Really love the joojah kebab and the kubidah is a must try

This is the original Daniel. It all started here, at the Twin Towers. And then it branched out, first to the Mazaya Center and then to Sharjah…or maybe the other way around. Doesn’t matter, Daniel offers a buffet of unparalleled variety at a price point which always has me scratching my head asking how they do it. But what makes it really remarkable is that Daniel does this with such Swiss Chrono consistency – day in, day out. I’ve been coming here for longer than I remember and quality, a word not particularly synonymous with the Daniel franchise, has not wavered. Well done to them.
In addition to excellent value for money, Daniel also offers an amazing, wide ranging sampler of Iranian cuisine – from soups and salads to khoreshts (stews) and kababs, Daniel lays it out as few other restaurants in Dubai do. Yeah, Apple does pretty much the same. But I dare say Daniel does it better. So if you’re in the mood for a little overindulgence of decent Iranian cuisine, look no further than Daniel.
If you consider my previous review about the apple restaurant in twin towers you can get the same idea about Danial. They don't have kitchen & used to bring the food from other place & Keep it hot. Anyway their buffet is great & includes different varieties of food.
Been visiting Danial for nearly 6 years now, but my last visit (before 14.02.2016) was 3 years ago. Not much has changed since then, except they've added a few more appetizers and seafood items.
The food's always been pretty decent and this still holds true. The kubideh and chelo kebabs are especially good - the meat tender and delicious. There's a lot of variety covering a wide range of meats and Persian dishes. The salad bar is extensive too as are the appetizers.
The dessert selection may not be to everyone's liking, but I'm not big on dessert anyway.
Service is good, plates are promptly cleared away. The food seems to always coming. Never have I seen an empty chafing dish here. There's a lot of seating with an outdoor area too, perfect for those long weekend lunches.
My only peeve was the boiled shrimp which wasn't deveined, and since they were boiled, it was nearly impossible to do it yourself.
Overall, possibly the best Iranian/Middle Eastern buffet you can find at this price.
Well a normal buffet restaurant, serving the usual spread, however the variety of salads and deserts is something worth mentioning, the starters were a little cold but definitely good, they even served whole shrimps and crabs which was quite amusing . overall a good experience and worth a try
I have been to this branch twice. Excellent value for money, a delightful variety of different Middle Eastern cuisines, the mutton is mouth watering, the saffron and cardamom infused oriental/Iranian dessert satisfies your sweet tooth. Minor points of improvement though are: *why don't you have roasted ducks like your Sharjah branch?
*The rice could've been fluffier and warmer.
*Thanks to the staff for their diligent efforts, let's hope the floor managers have a friendlier approach to restaurant guest. Courteous doesn't mean grim.
All in all it is a nice experience but make sure you don't over eat and suffer from indigestion. LOL.
Service 8 over 10. food most of it 8 or 9 over 10. But shrimps was cold and some other dishes was not very good. Many people there. Nice experience.

I have been a regular at Danial for almost 6 years now and its the place to go when you have Guests around and can't make up your mind of what to have. I have visited it more than 15 times and it has never proved disappointing.
Its an Iranian Buffet restaurant but having quite a good number of Indian BBQ, Biryani and a host of Sea food dishes. Their Salad menu is extensive. But the main attractions are obviously Persian favourites such as 'Ghormeh Sabzi', Chicken Kubideh & Joojeh Kebabs. The only complaint in terms of food is their Dessert Menu. Except the Gulab Jamun, nothing really is outstanding and also the biggest disappointment is that they never seem to get their 'Umm Ali' right.
This restaurant has Branches in Mazaya and Sharjah but Baniyas is my favourite one specially in the winters when you can sit outside and soak in the scenery of the ever green Old Dubai Creek. The furniture however is a bit run down and the management has to seriously consider changing it.
Overall, a great place if you are up for a Buffet. Just keep your tummy empty enough to taste all what is around. At AED 65 it is reasonably priced as well.
Planning to be a regular here in the future as well.
I'm a regular at Danial since early 00's when they used to have an outdoor terrace overlooking the glamorous views of The Dubai Creek. Food is delicious and service can't get any better. Missing those days😳
Luckily, food and service are still as good!
A huge variety of dishes. Surely a field day for a food lover. Loved the place and food. Definitely going to visit this place again. Value for money. A must try.👍
Very good food, great variety in the menu served, awesome view of the creek, friendly staff. The only negative thing is that it is heavily crowded.
This was actually the first branch of Danial that we have ever been to. Went here with the family here and although it was quite traffic it was well worth it. His place is one of the many old school dining places in Dubai that never really gets old. Their buffet is as varied and as many as their other branch in Mazaya center. The staff are lovely and the food quality is fine for a buffet, I definitely have no complaints about their selection and for the price paid I think it is well worth it.
great food.great outdoor view of The creek.indoor ambience too bad because of the crowd.but over all a 4.5/5 rating from me n my family and friends.we are all here now.

Best Buffet I've had till date. It says Iranian cuisine but they've got much more on their menu and its really good. Go there if you mean business and i mean actual business, once you start..it will be real hard to stop.
The food is ok and the venue is not that great... well they have a wonderful basement parking which is a very good thing as finding parking in that area is quite difficult... the staffs are also super friendly...
The best Iranian food in Dubai. It's tough to find parking in this area.
Huge selection of buffet.
This place is mostly jam packing and it's advisable to pre book your table in advance.
No words to say. Iranian food at its best.
Great food, great place and very affordable. Great view of the creek too!
Amazing food and buffet varieties, the fish is also very great. One of my favorites
