Its just awesome..lovely food with great service..hospitality at its best
Excellent food and service and great variety of sweets!
We stayed 3 nights in the hotel and loved this place for breakfast. Food was amazing. Staffs are proactive and attentive with guests needs. Special thanks to the manager Vinoth who took good care of us by making sure we have what we need. Surely we’ll be coming back! 😍😍😍
So we were actually staying in the hotel and access to dinner & brekki! What a lovely meal we had. Tanuj eats non veg so he wasn’t very happy with the kebabs, but I am a vegetarian thoroughly enjoyed my meal! The date pudding was to die for, which I actually over ate and gave a hard time to my tummy 😂 but it’s okay life is short and I believe Eat The Dessert :D I especially want to mention the names- Hazem, Jona& Haitam how kind and generous these people were to make our food experience so warm & memorable with their service! Thank you guys! The staycation was also Fab if anyone is looking for a break I highly recommend xx
Loved the place and food taste was great. Our servant Faiz was so polite with outstanding service. My special thanks to him plz.. fresh pizza is a must try
Our stay here was fantastic, it was my friends birthday and they helped celebrate it in style. The food was fantastic, the staff were kind and so helpful especially Shivam, Jesuva, they were amazing. Also the indian food from Ali was the best xx
We will definitely be returning xxx
Event : Oktoberfest in Grand Hyatt
Price : Aed 150 per person (pre booking needed)
Atmosphere / Ambience: high energy, German band from Munich, Big spread of German delicacy and dancing on benches.
The tent was massive and totally packed. We were few tables away from the entrance which had its advantage of easy walk through to the dessert section and mains as well as salads but the not so great was the humidity and heat outside kept seeping in through open doors. We constantly had to walk through to the other side of the tent to stand in front of the air con blast to cool ourselves after dancing on benches ofcourse 🤪 but hey we were closer to the band and that’s super fun.
Food review: Pork lovers this is exactly the place you need to be. From Pork knuckles, Suckling pig, to Pork sausages, German Including the Nürnberger Rostbratwürstchen (yumm)
There were fish, chicken, lamb chops, veal schnitzel etc. but living in gulf countries Pork lovers go straight to Pork section first and once you fill up your plate then there is no room for other meats unless you come for seconds.
The salad and dessert section was inside the tent while the mains were beautifully and decoratively laid outside.
Spacious settings for the food including the pretzels and German bread section.
Drinks : when your in Oktoberfest mode you got to have German beer 🍺 in Stein (massive 1 litre glass)
Music - I’ve been a regular for the last 4 years and last year went 3 times and the thing that kept me going is not the beer or the food alone but the Munich band - they ensure you dance the whole night away. With old German classics and for those of us non German expats - they sing ABBA, and old classics which have the crowd singing along.
Service : each table has an assigned helper / server and you ought to give it to these guys - they are prompt and quick and carry numerous Steins together - phew. Fantastic service.
What can be improved - I know it’s allowed in Dubai for people to smoke indoors. Our clothes, hair and throats tell a tale of passive smoking and for that reason we don’t intend to do this every weekend of October. If only indoor smoking was not allowed we would be going every weekend to enjoy the food and music.

it was not our first stay in this hotel, but the breakfast is superb, even by world wide standards. staff extremely friendly and well trained - you feel recognized and welcomed from the first day on and treated as a friend as of day 2! - great performance!
The Market Cafe had a lot of variety and many different cuisines. Everything was delicious. One of my favourites was the Pizza. It was made fresh to order. The Indian food was great and had a homey touch to it. There was also a lot of options in deserts. The ambiance was also very nice. It was a great experience to enjoy few drinks with wow food.
Roasted chicken 5/5
Chicken curry 5/5
Pizza n pasta 4.5/5
Green salad 4.5/5
The Collective is located in the atrium of Grand Hyatt Dubai , giving an outdoor feel while sitting inside , which is so good for the weather of Dubai . I think its an all day self service restaurant with a card system so you only pay for what you eat . Mostly the dishes are Italian and Arabic and offer a reasonable rate unless it's a weekend . The live cooking stations are fun to watch preparing your order and overall its a very good experience.

This was a surprise birthday dinner organized by my darling husband as he knows this restaurant is one of my most favorite restaurant. I have been here more than 10 times now. Always love their food, ambience, service. As it was a Friday the restaurant was over booked but we still got special service because of the special occasion:). Some of the dishes were cancelled but the Restaurant Manager Vinodh, who was so kind and provided us such great service, arranged a special bbq platter for us with tiger prawns, kebabs, beef steaks and salmon. By the way we got 2 of those mouth watering platters. Our server (totally forgot her name) was so patient and polite especially with the kids. The buffet of The Collective is so wide that it gets difficult to decide what to eat. We enjoyed their salads, pasta, fresh pizza, lebanese counter and desserts of course. The best part of this buffet is that you also get unlimited hot beverages be it green tea, americano, cappuccino or hot chocolate. I totally loved their fresh orange juice, lost count to how many times I had that.
The service provided by the Manager, Chefs and Servers was outstanding.
Will surely be celebrating my next birthday here again😉
P.S. Also got a divine cheesecake as complimentary from the Restaurant.
