I was there during weekend and was very satisfied with price and variety, freshness, presentation of food. Price of buffet is 59aed, including starters, main dishes ( grilled, fried fish, crabs, shrimps, chicken, beef,kebab) and sweets. Interior is simple in old style, don’t expect much but food quality and variety worth it 👍🏻 Much better than sushis Nations or anywhere else.

I would like to say a big 👍🏼Thankyou 👏🏼👍🏼 to Danial restaurant marketing and socialmedia team for their professionalism and effeciency in vouchers and giveaways .
My favorite place for buffet lunch. They have variety of choices of salads, pickles, seafood, kebabs and lamb dishes. The price is reasonable and the staff are friendly.
We went on weekend to enjoy our traditional Persian cuisine and I fall in love with wide range of sea food well cooked they are amazing range of bbq and grilled food so many choices of salad and dessert as-well very quick services and just amazing Persian ambiance ❤️
Tasty, reasonably priced and convenient Iranian restaurant that serves in Mazaya Centre. I have been visiting since 2010 and the quality is always the same. Buffet lunch consists of not only Iranian recipes but international cuisine and seafood.
One of the best buffet restaurant in Dubai. I have visited many times the twin tower and mazaya branches . sea food soup in danials is one of the best in town . If you love to have the sea food , this is the best place . If you are a food lover visit atleast once and enjoy it
Great value for money.
Great buffet arrangement. Went for Iftar and the place is beautiful.
Arabic salad and hummus are good.
They are very busy during Ramadan and hugely popular with the locals.
Lots of seats and service is prompt.
Food quality is decent.
Loved the Grilled chicken.!
If you are a fan of Persian food then this is the place you must visit as they offer buffet facility with a mind blowing variety of dishes that you can choose from. Fresh bread served is super duper tasty and a favorite of mine. Very very elaborate collections of Salad, starter, meat, rice, deserts, fruits and drinks (non alcoholic)!!!

“Never judge a restaurant by its menu.”
Danial restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in UAE. They serve some amazing local and arabic food. Although their menu doesn't feature many dishes, they serve an amazing buffet which is must try for all those non-vegetarians out there.
We visited this place to preview their iftaar buffet and trust me it reminded us of attending a wedding. The crowd was massive. You wont get a table to sit unless you have reserved a spot two days in advance. At around 6:30, people were already sitting there with their tables and plates filled with piles of food, just waiting to break their fast so that they could relish those tasty looking prawns and kababs.
What we really liked was the variety of dishes that they had. Different versions of seafood, chicken, lam and even 5 different type of biryani. They also have a salad and pickle bar, but We didn't find the salads fresh. They also have so many varieties of desserts. We just fell in love with their gulab jamuns. They also have a good range of fresh juices which u are not included in the buffet.
The food tastes really good, the flavours are not really enhanced. At the end of the day its your hunger that will determine the taste of the food.
Disclaimer : Although this review may have already made you drool and given u high hopes, if you are a vegetarian, this place is not for you.
The place is very noisy because of large groups of family visiting here to have a family iftaar and some have kids which are extremely naughty so be careful while carrying a plate filled with food. The staff is really good and friendly, always on their feet to serve you despite this being a buffet restaurant. It a full on value for money for non-vegetarians. There is lots of parking available being the mall.

Visited this place for a boys lunch after along time!
The ambiance set a whole different level of vibe, felt like i was away on a holiday with the boys and having lunch elsewhere.
The food variety at the buffet counter was just way out of my expectations! The taste and quality of juicy kababs is something I haven’t come across in a recent past.
Not just the main course counter, right from the salad counter to the dessert counter its way more satisfying than what you pay for it.
And guys! before you pay and leave don’t forget to try their special tea! Its just amazing and you will need it to aid your digestion 😂 Sharukh Ibrahim
Went during Ramadan..the iftaar/dinner was really good. The buffet had plenty of variety and the food was good too! Will definitely come again.
Quiet a nice place to have gathering or get together, huge space and nice buffet with quite a options of good Iranian cuisine.
From seafood, to meat to chicken tasted great.
Definitely will revisit for lunch
Good buffet, not very fancy but has a good variety of food.
Visited already 3-4 times and left happy every time.
Food is always full and fresh.
Dear friends, please find below my review.
In short:
Ambiance- Average
Food Taste- Good eapecially sweets
Food quality- Average
Service- Average because mostly its packed
Value for money- Excellent
In Detail:
We collegues decided to have iftar from danial. This persian restaurant got a great user review in social medias, especially for the value of money. Iftar buffet was good with variety of dishes to try mostly grill and kabab. Persian kind of foods dominate the menu. sweets are good. Must visit place and you will get value for money.
It was later compromised by the manager still pay attention to what you eat.
Nb- Make sure to stamp the bill or parking card to get free parking after 90 minutes. Else its 5 aed per hr after wards.
Thanks

One of the best buffets in town. A lot of variety, very reasonably priced! The staff are good though always too busy! Spacious restaurant good for big groups. Recommended for casual dining and a good variety of dishes.
Everything is good,but Prawn and craw is not fresh.It is an affordable price with its food.The restaurant located in an old shopping mall near sheikh zayed road.
A family favourite, it has the widest range and variety in their buffet platter. There is no other restaurant that can boast of more variety of good fresh food. The space is plenty and the staff very courteous. I would recommend it any day.
One of my favourite buffets in dubai. Real value for money, good quality food, big varieties, and very friendly staff. Great during the week when it's not busy
Its friday lunch and I know places are packed at this time. Me and my friends are looking out for a place to go, so one of my friend, who is Iranian, tecommended this place.
It is so spacious, there just plenty of room for everybody!! They even have a family room on the corner. We took a table in there. The food choices in their buffet are just many to mention.. I don't know if its just me or I'm imagining things, but at I had a different menu on the first hour we've been there and different on the second. I mean some food choices weren't displayed there before, but it was all good! It was a foodhaven for us.
It is so affordable for a friday buffet, complete set of menu, good food and good service. I'll be back to discover the mystery
The best Iranian food .. the buffet spread Is too good .. love the grill dishes.. the food is bland yet the taste is too good .. it's value for money as they serve sea food also .. the desert is also good ..
it is an open buffet restaurant , nice place & lot of food options , for me only the seek point is desserts , you will not find the same varieties like in salads & main coarse , service is very good & great value of money , actually it is on of the cheapest buffet restaurants but with a very good quality

A massive variety. Tried almost everything, but by the end I was quite stuffed. I loved the Iranian Kababs and the salad variety. Both of them were irresistible. The meat was nice and succulent. The seafood - Hamoor and Crab were pretty good, but I felt the shrimp was a little too bland. I was disappointed with the desserts section. Though there was variety, it lacked quality taste. I only enjoyed the Bakhlawa and the Jelly.
Variety of Persian food.. open Buffet and lot of items to try.. need more visits to try almost everything..
price : 65dhs for buffet is not that much.. kids you have to pay only 20
I suggest this place
Was here for Iftar on 03/06/16 as had a lot about this place.
Place : located in mall, decent, lots of extra chairs were put due to Ramadan, but we managed to get a good place inside.
Food: Buffet spread was ok, many varieties is starters, but I liked only Mutton seekh and King and homour fish. Highlight was the salad bar, nice and real good choices and ingredients of salads.
Service : no comments.. As we dint have any issues. I guess one needs to go without any expectations on service.
I happened to be here by chance for their iftar buffets and boy it was a pleasure to have their food. The buffet was spread over the entire restaurant and you had an array of food items to choose from. The kebabs were well cooked and were tasty. The dessert were pretty limited and that was the only disappointment. Overall a good place to be.
An ample collection of Iranian delicacies. Ranging from hot to the sweet for just AED 65. Crowded even during the week days , must try each and every item if possible. Love the desserts especially.
Went to Daniels for lunch a couple of days ago as I happened to be doing some work near Mazay centre and I was really in for a treat... 65 dogs all you can eat Iranian food and salads will surely full you up without leaving a massive dent in your wallet ... I had the joojah kebabs and some yoghurt meat and it was really delicious and worth a try
food was good but during weekends full of people. n also issue with cleanliness. there were alot of flies n mosquitoes.overall rating 7/10..
Hugh spread of authentic Iranian buffet at a very affordable price.. most or almost 75% of the items in the buffet were really tasty which is not the case in most places offering buffets ..they had less fillers and more main courses which i liked..
Good place to visit if you are confused what to eat for lunch. They have an ample buffet mixed with all kind of food at fair price. (Seafood, mix grill, Iranian, Indian , Arabic, Salads, Sweets, fruits ). My favorite was the grilled Kabab but the seafood was not very good , many seafood options but was not flavourful, the grilled duck was very good; fresh and tasty. The cleanliness of the restuarant was good but can still be improved. The service was typical and computerized.
It's a real value for money restaurant.. The choices are unlimited and you get to taste a wide variety of Persian food.. Some of the choices are acquired tastes but would not deter a foodie..
let me start with what happens when u enter the restaurant...
u r completely overwhelmed (in a good way)!! it's like you have no clue where to start and it got me thinking, how am I even going to try out half the stuff??
There must have been at-least 60 dishes... the ambiance is nice and the staff are friendly..
Coming to the food part.. fish, chicken, beef, mutton, duck.. u name it, they have it.. Oh! and veg too.. personal opinion; the food was just average, nothing really caught my attention or managed to invoke the 'WOW' feeling..
A solid 3.5 would be my rating..
Just can't fault anything about 'Danial' from welcome to departure. This applies to all their Dubai branches. Love the wide variety of the buffet but Danial got to work on their desserts selection and add much more options, really doesnt match the richness of the buffet! I wouldn't think of cookies, brownies or ice creams as desserts when you can add better selection! This is the only downfall of Danial, since I really do take much care to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings after my meal
Been here several times and must say the right place to have a lavish buffet & value for money. The variety and options are wide and one gets to explore it all. Must say it caters to all may it be the starters, pickles, main course and more.I have thoroughly enjoyed the food each time I have come and definitely recommend the same to all. Havent found any compromise on quality.
The decor is good and well set. Pleasant staff adds to the evening.
After a lavish buffet, an iranian tea is the perfect way to end my meal.
Ho , Ho , khelakho , if you are starving or having a set if hungry friends , go there and have real good food and seevice , and you will be out without paying much compering with dubai's restaurant , i really like there food and i use to eat every month like once or twice
We had been to danial on a friday afternoon. It was a treat from our side to my cousins. We had made a reservation and hence had no issues in finding a perfect place.
The buffet was very extensive and amazing. They had two types of soup (chicken and some special veg iranian soup). They were 10+ starters both meat and fish included(loved them. Esp the hammour fish starters and the kebabs. Amazing they were), 4 types of rice (lamb rice was my favourite), various curries, salads and extensive range of deserts. They also had items that kids would enjoy. Beautifully crafted menu. We all enjoyed the food and loved the place.
Price is worth considering the extensive buffet they serve. The staff was very friendly too. It is a must try place and would return for sure. ☺
My cousin's promotion treat was here, and MANN, i must say this place is something else! Since I'm a seafood lover I may come across as biased but their buffet variety is so mindbogglingly amazing that one is lost for options! I personally liked their crab soup, mutton soup, grilled hamour, chicken and muttons kebabs, shrimp curry, chicken biriyani, and apple pie and Bread pudding. Ambience is really good and buffet arrangement is decent. They could do with a bit more of salt in their food though, especially in their plain boiled shrimps and crabs. Service can definitely be better.
One of the best buffet house for the price. Has a lot with options for all.
Can be a quickie and available from 12 to 12 which is surely reliable.
Love the buffet here, there's something for everybody and it's not even the kind of option that forces you to just settle for it, but the kind that you welcome heartily! Their peking duck is especially tender and so is the meat for the bahmia and meat. Thoroughly enjoyed the salads and the appetizer options too. I'm definitely adding this to our list of go to lunch buffets from now on! (With ChefGuerra )
Excellent choice of food and great buffet spread.
You will definitely be spoilt for choice in this place looking around at the huge buffet spread.
For iranian buffet it's the best option in the city,management in mazaya center branch is awesome ,polite and friendly,let's go for a business lunch break!

Daniel boasts a buffet of unparalleled variety and value for money. I can only assume it is through the number of daily customers that they make any money. The sheer content of each station will shock you, from their salads and starters to seafood which includes crab, shrimps, and at least three different fish dishes, to their mains – they do not skimp on anything – quite the contrary, there is an overabundance which is borderline criminal. Although predominantly Iranian, Daniel also includes Mandi-style lamb and chicken dishes (which they call Quzi – basically, baked lamb and spiced rice) to appeal to the die-hard locals and/or those who wish to sample Gulf cuisine. The centrepiece of their seafood section is usually a gigantic baked fish stuffed with fragrant herbs and spices in the regional fashion. But where Daniel is different to other Iranian restaurants is that it is VEG FRIENDLY incorporating and an assortment of veg dishes (including, believe it or not, a couple of curries) in its buffet. They make their own bread which is really good too. I think the Mazaya Center branch is far better than the original Twin Towers one. In a nutshell – the best value for money Iranian buffet in Dubai.
Loved the food.. They have a huge variety of food and for all kinds of people. It could have been even better if they could improve on the dessert section.

Having lived in Iran during the formative years of my life, I adapted to....and learnt to crave Iranian food, specifically Chelo Kebab Koobideh (minced lamb/beef kebabs served with your choice of rice; I liked mine to be saffron rice). After coming to India permanently, I missed Iranian dishes a lot. Mom did cook them occasionally and even though they were really tasty, the authentic taste registered in my mind remained unsatisfied. So during my first visit to Dubai, I was taken to Danial to experience an 'all you can eat' and 'knock yourself out' time.
If you want to experience what all constitutes the best of Iranian food...this place is a must visit. You get to smell, see, taste and experience most of the popular Iranian dishes among other options. The spread is lavish and the ambiance welcoming and comfortable. This is the place I took my hubby to as well, to introduce him to the spread I kept talking about most of the times. Starting with the traditional barley soup, moving to Joojeh Kebab, Koobideh with rice, Khoresht Sabzi and more, we stuffed ourselves well and good. The first bite of every dish took to me a faraway place and satisfied that mental search of years ago. I visit it every time I want to try the varieties of one of my favorite cuisines. For those who are not into Iranian food, there are other options available as well, which makes it an all-rounder place.
Variety of dishes - 9/10
Taste - 7/10 (you may get tastier options elsewhere, but it definitely has the best spread/varieties I have seen)
Service - 8/10 (they're pretty attentive and if asked, they even get the Kebabs well-done and served to you)
Value for Money - 8/10 (a little on the up side, but definitely worth the spread they provide)
Ambiance - 8/10
Quantity - 10/10 (Since it's an all you can eat heaven :-))
Huge restaurant with excellent interiors. Food is equally good. Great for corporate lunches located strategically along the bustling Sheikh Zayed Road.
