For my Aunt's birthday, we had a lovely Friday brunch buffet in Jood Palace Hotel (previously known as Taj hotel). I have dined here once before I left to Australia and I recalled not being that fond of their food, so my hopes were not that high.
Upon arriving to the venue, you could see the food buffet table along side of the walls as you make your way to the seating area. The seating area had a certain Arabic feel to it and the dimmed lights created a rather romantic atmosphere.
As I was exploring the buffet table, I was happily shocked to learn that the whole hallway was actually filled with food that we could take, even though it stretched passed their other two restaurants (this might be included in the groupon deal we bought so I'm not sure if everyone's experience is the same). It was certainly not how I remembered it to be when I visited last time.
The waiters/waitresses were very helpful and had great customer service skills, I felt like a princess. Every time I ordered from a station, they would kindly tell me that I need not wait for my food to be cooked as they will deliver it up to my table.
The best thing about the buffet were the stations, lots and lots of stations. They had a chocolate fountain station, sushi station, satay station, kebab station, shawarma station, pasta station, Mexican station, Indian station and so much more! I was overwhelmed by all the choices for this price we paid (79 dhs). It certainly had more than most buffets I have eaten in before!
In addition to the stations, they had a variety of dishes laid out in the usual buffet style. The stations, in my opinion are more worth it as it is cooked freshly when you order. It would be cool if they have a dessert station aside from the chocolate fountain, but hey the dessert table is good enough.
It's times like these where I wish I was a cow and had four stomachs. I visited the sushi station three times and probably ate seven plateful of yummy goodness, certainly happy that I don't live close enough to come here often or obesity would be around the corner.
Here's a picture of my Auntie with a purple cheesecake I made, you can find the recipe here.
