A part of the worldwide chain of Buddba Bars, the two-storey Buddha Bar in Dubai is an aesthetically stunning bar and restaurant that celebrates its Asian influence. The venue is located in Grosvenor House, a five-star hotel which is positioned on the waterfront of the Dubai Marina, so you can expect some exquisite views.

These views are best enjoyed in the open-spaced dining room, which is ideal for group events and features dazzling red and gold chandeliers, along with large bay windows and a high ceiling. Whether you are heading to the bar or dining area, bowing waitresses will meet you at the entrance and escort you, just a small part of the first-class service you can expect.

In the main bar and dining room area sits a four-metre, gilded statue of Buddha himself, accompanied by an entire wall of glass. This eye-catching sight is complemented by relaxing music and intimate lighting created by dozens of small red candles. As you gaze on your menu, you will see cuisine from Asian countries such as Thailand, Japan and China; dishes include vegetable tempura, duck pancakes and a variety of sushi and curries.
