One and Only Rotating Restaurant - Al Dawar

Al Dawar RestaurantAl Dawar Restaurant is located at the top of Hyatt Regency Hotel. You can experience a nice view of Dubai & the gulf while eating as the restaurant rotates. This popular restaurant, which can accommodate 140 diners, is famous for its unique rotatating design and views as it is for its superb international buffet, offering a wide selection of starters and main courses including European, Middle Eastern, Asian and Japanese dishes.

Insider Opinion Its quite dark inside which really makes the best of the views. All the tables have a good view but I would book a window table if possible. I would say its an unmissable experience. Only thing is that it might seem a little pricy - but I guess you get what you pay for.

Hours Open daily for buffet lunch from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm and for dinner from 7:00 pm to 11:30 pm.
