Ramadan in Dubai is often a very glitz and glam affair. Some people will say to excess, and rightfully so, but this is Dubai and we are known for our buffet meals.
Asateer Tent at The Atlantis Palm Dubai is a known Dubai institution and this year I partook in it as well.
Reservations are needed as it does fill up quickly. You can reach the lovely people at Atlantis on +971 4 426 0800. There is a dress code and skirts must be below the knees, shoulders covered and no cleavage. They do provide shawls but it would be better to plan your fabulous outfit with the dress code in mind. This being Dubai there is valet parking but be aware that once the buffet ends there will be a queue while waiting for your car.
On to the food.
Wow. Presentation and taste really came together for this iftar. It was not an entirely massive buffet but for iftar you should not eat too much anyway. We broke our fast with a collection of dates, refreshing jalab, three different types of laban and cold mezze. Dinner included ouzi (perfection) and an assortment of Arabic and non Arabic main courses. The dessert section catered to all tastes and even included and ice cream station, chocolate fountain and a pillar made of lovely macaroons,
Iftar at the Asateer Tent is definitely an experience and at AED195 it is at the higher range for iftar buffets in Dubai but it is also open until 21h00 where as with some you feel rushed because of the 20h30 cut off.
Use an iftar at the Asateer Tent as a lux dinner with friends, celebration with family or just as a chance to experience a different side of Dubai's opulent life style.
Ramadan kareem. I hope that the last ten days of ramadan will bring you peace and blessings.
