    Great buffet restaurant with a large variety of food to choose from. A bit pricey but well worth it if you’re looking for exquisite Arabic, Mediterranean and Indian food!

    The selection of the buffet was very nice and there were not a lot of fillers. The pizza and pasta were very good and the beef cheeks were tender and tasty. The stir-fried chicken in oyster sauce was also very delicious. The cauliflower gratin was creamy as well. The dessert selection was also incredibly unique. The date pudding was rich in flavour and was so good I will probably have dreams about it. The gummies were also dangerously addictive. Overall, a great experience with a wide selection of foods and desserts. Would go eat here again.

    Great place for a brunch. Very wide selection of international food and various cuisines. Loved the attention of the team and service. Being in Atlantis is already a great experience, but this place adds to the charm. Spent many hours and enjoyed both the food and the desserts. Really recommended for a brunch activity with friends and family.

    Amazing spread of buffet across various cuisines and great desserts. Loved our experience at this restaurant. Will recommend others to give it a try if they live buffets.

    Food 5/5 Absolutely love this place! We went here for a lunch buffet. I was skeptical about getting enough vegetarian options here. I was amazed when I saw there were endless number of options in vegetarian food too. Moreover, they even had jain food options! I was really impressed. You ll get tired of eating given the number of options they have. We ended up eating from 12 pm to 3 pm. Totally worth it! Ambiance 5/5 very elegant and a wonderful buffet arrangement such that the place never looks crowded. Staff 5/5 extremely courteous and efficient. They even gave us a complementary dutch truffle cake for a birthday celebration in the group. Price 5/5 It might seem expensive when you book it but once you reach there for the buffet you ll realize its totally worth it! Definitely visiting again soon!

    You can't get it wrong when you're in Atlantis and trying to get some food. Your choices will be endless! However if you are looking for a couple of restaurants that would offer you endless choices of buffet and food then Kaleidoscope is one of them. I really enjoyed breakfast there and the full experience was just unforgettable. The staff to customer ratio was high, everyone takes care of you with a smile, and food is just succulent. Will definitely come back!

    I have to disagree with most of the people here and I’m very disappointed with the quality of food at Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope offers an international buffet and claims to be a unique cuisine experience. The buffet costs 235 AED, which is around 65 USD. With that price, you can get a 4-5 course meal in Paris at a 0-1 star Michelin restaurant in Paris. Service is very good. When you enter the restaurant, the server would give you a tour of the restaurant. They also serve you drinks and take away your finished plates timely. Food quality is quite bad. Most of the seafood is dry and not fresh, most likely imported and frozen. For instance, the oyster doesn’t even have oyster liquid in it. Chinese food is not edible. The dim sum are not made in house and looks like the ones you’d find in the frozen section in Asian supermarket. Rice is not fluffy and seems to have some contaminations from other food. The cheese pizzas are ok. Definitely not taste Italian but still edible. But I don’t understand why would they put salmon on a pizza. Sushi and sashimi are dreadful and not freshly made. I saw them taking out a tray of sushi from fridge to replace an empty shelf. Look at the dry piece of tuna below. It’s worse than the ones you’d find in supermarket. Indian food is good and deserts are ok. Baguette and bread seem to be made in house with acceptable quality. The chefs seem to lack proper and rigorous culinary training as they can’t even cut fruits with precision (see the fruit cubes, all cuts should be roughly same size). Overall I would give 3/10 and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It definitely needs substantial improvement. It’s hard to believe this is the quality of food you’d get in Atlantis and it’s definitely not worth the price tag.

    Bright and cozy dining. We had our breakfast here while checked in at Atlantis The Palm. I enjoyed all the food that I took with no leftovers at my plate so that was a great sign. Recommended!

    If you're in the mood for Arabic, Italian, Indian, seafood, or just deserts from across the earth, look no further. I've never been to a better buffet, and I sincerely hope I'll get another chance to eat here.

    Kaleidoscope in Atlantis The Palm has a biggest buffet breakfast spread. I have always enjoyed my breakfast here. A perfect way to start the relaxing holiday with their food. They have food to cater guests from all continents. Love Atlantis. Love Dubai.

    Lots of options(hope the seafoods will be more fresher like clam) other wise, all are amazing. They have great ambiance,great staffs (i suggest, Just put your price in the reception area instead of asking the customers upon arrival if,ARE YOU AWARE OF THE PRICE? bein in Atlantis, Its too informal to ask for it especially on reservation basis- its obvious we know the price). Watch my live review on you tube (Beth Travel and Foodie).

    Had surprised my daughter with brunch @Kaleidoscope Atlantis. Restaurant was totally buzzing with in house guests..we wr the only ones not hotels guests. The spread was quite lavish n too many cuisines to choose from, Chinese, Indian, Continental, French.. Our hostess Rose accomodated us comfortably and gave us a tour of the foods to choose from. Pasteries were my fav. Rose even arranged for a surprise complimentary Chocolate Mousse Cake.

    Overall experience was lovely and had a amazing evening as it was my birthday as well . Right from the reception to the checkout it was smooth and superb. Fedrick was really there for us in case we need anything on the table, very humble and guest service oriented person. Great going Fedrick. Even Priyanka assisted us at the reception and afterwards also she make sure that we are comfortable and everything is going smooth and great on the table . Even one of the manager checked with us for overall experience going.It was our first visit to the restaurant and it was amazing right from the food, staff, ambience and overall hospitality.

    This buffet got everything costs 225 . The food is kinda normal but sushi is good. They didn’t have fried shrimp so they got me grilled instead. Their grilled shrimp is bad . There’s pizza and pasta and also the ice cream is very good

    We went to the intercontinental buffet dinner at Kaleidoscope and were not very impressed by taste of the food in the buffet. There was a huge spread and a lot of food options, but none of the food tasted as amazing as it looked. But, the staff at this place were exceptional and were very courteous and accommodating. The made sure we were comfortable and catered to all our requests. The ambiance is awesome and is definitely worth the hype! Overall, this place is good for a one time experience, thanks to the location and wonderful ambiance.

    The most beautiful way to celebrate Christmas in Dubai! The buffet was out of this world, and the staff was very helpful in finding me gluten-free options and even making me my own dessert. We ended the day at the beach which is a definitely a pricey experience but we were already there, so I think it was worth it. They also have happy hour on the beach, which was very good prices for select cocktails.

    Went for the International Buffet Dinner that’s available Monday-Thursday. Prior reservation is highly recommended as it gets pretty crowded.

    On a weekend we thought of having lunch from this restaurant. They have wide range of food selection for both veg and non vegetarians. Their deserts section is heaven for sweet lovers and also for those who watch their weight as it’s made of healthy sugar substitute. Rajesh was our host and he was best at his job. Other Staffs are very polite. bcoz it was a weekend it was super crowded. Only one think I did not like about them was, they make sure you know the price of buffet before u enter the venue. While booking the table over the phone the guy mentioned at least 3 times and when u enter the place at the reception also they will make sure I know the price. Do they really think people will enter the place without knowing the price?? I m just wondering..🤔 Food quality is excellent. If you don’t mind paying bit more compare to other buffet places they I Highly recommend this place.

    Have you ever been in front of plate of your memories ? I took a plate commonly called « choukchouka » or « ratatouille », but I wasn’t expected to be emotional : the smell put me back 33 years ago in my grand mother’s kitchen surrounded by my aunts and mom. The taste brought me so much feelings. I mean good ones. I was in this kitchen in real. Chef Mohamed, your dishes are gift of happiness. Thank you Chef Mohamed and your team. My pic is definitely not the best one to represent my gratefull. 🙏 10 ⭐️

    We visited Kaleidoscope today for our wedding anniversary and it was just amazing. The buffet offers a variety of delishes salads, appetisers and dishes from different cuisines (Italian, Lebanese, Chinese, Indian, etc.). The service was impeccable!! We were pampered by Alfine Bouba who took good care of me as I'm pregnant. She made sure to answer all my questions. The restaurant also surprised us with a delicious cake to celebrate the occasion. I would visit this place again with my family or colleagues.

  • 5/5 Clement Wilson L. 1 year ago on Google
    The attitude of the staff that makes the best dining experience, the food becomes more tastier when the staff gives attention to the minute detail. The staff attitude one of the best I have experienced at Kaleidoscope. They are in the next level of politeness. We enjoyed evening and good food too.

  • 4/5 Azam A. 4 years ago on Google
    Recently I visited here with my family for dinner. They are serving Intercontinental and Mediterranean International buffet. The food was yummy and very delicious. Prior reservation is highly recommended. Since Kaleidoscope is in Atlantis The Palm Hotel the atmosphere of restaurant is very good. Staff members are also helpful.

    Visited for their Christmas brunch buffet on Christmas Day. I think this one thing is enough to warrant a sub 2 star rating, the cheese counter had houseflies! Yes, and one staff was attempting to wave her hands now and then to shoo them. Not really what you'd expect to see in such a prestigious hotel. The food was mostly good, however some of the staff behind the live counter were least bit bothered. Service at table was at 2 levels. Initially they kept clearing the table of everything when we went to get the food. Including glasses with juice and drinks. They also cleared away my 5 year olds Christmas cracker surprise. Then we had to keep asking them for glasses and cutlery through out. This all changed when I finally had a word with the manager on seeing the flies on the cheese. And after which everyone attended our table flawlessly. The experience possibly explains how we were able to get a booking just 3 days in advance. Btw, when I informed the manager of the flies on the food and then about how dissatisfied I was with service, he only concentrated on the service. Offered free coffee, tea and juices for the table. Which too didn't get knocked off the bill. I've been to many restaurants, and unhygienic conditions warrant far more not just to the one that informed but to all the guests when it comes to a buffet.
