  (Updated)Update Apr’17: A big thanks to Royceton & team for a memorable birthday, and it just took them 20mins to give us a hearty surprise. The chefs are still doing an amazing job, especially the​ dinner desserts and breakfast pastries. Their promotion is still ongoing – 75AED for lunch and dinner (Friday brunch as well).Highly recommended!!Dec’16: I wasn’t too sure about dining here because of the limited reviews, but it was the easier option since we were staying at the Millennium. I went to have a look at the dinner spread, seeing the available options and being informed by the manager about their promotional rates (AED50 for breakfast and AED75 for dinner), it seemed like a good option. Little did I expect to be blown away by the food :)The restaurant is really spacious, plenty of space between seats even. For Dinner, the spread wasn’t extensive, but it wasn’t small either. There weren’t too many veg options than the salads. The salads were good, with cheeses, cold cuts, arabic selection. For mains – Lamb Biriyani, Mix Kebab Grill, Pasta Bolognese, Grilled Fish w/ Butter Lemon sauce, Lamb with Veg, Lamb Tikka, Beef Stroganoff, Grilled Chicken, Roast Potatoes, Veg Au Gratin. There wasn’t anything to complain about, all the dishes held it’s own. If I have to be picky, I’ll say they could add some breads and plain rice, add a veg soup even. Once your done licking fingers after the mains, that’s when you realize your big mistake (if you’re too full that is). The desserts are super amazing. It’s the first time my wife took everything from dessert and didn’t share with me. And she still had some more. All I could handle were a couple since I was too full, but really amazed by what I had. All the chef’s did an amazing job.What we enjoyed even more was how empty the place was, we had a quiet time out with the whole place to ourselves. At any given time there were just 2-3 tables taken though, I wonder why considering the food we had. The service was good, all the staff were very friendly and courteous.For Breakfast, it was a busy affair as everywhere else. The place was packed the whole time, but you don’t really feel it cos of all the space. The pastry chefs get full marks here, the muffins, cakes, croissants, all amazing. I loved the meat pie and manakish too. Just missed my hash browns though. The staff really made breakfast special for us – remembering us from dinner, welcoming us and giving us the extra special service (probably cos of my kids). Despite how busy it was, they were really quick at the tables.Overall, we had an amazing experience. My wife had me drooling over the pastries and desserts again all the way home, reminding me how it was the best she’s ever had at a buffet, so it was a sweet drive back.I’m definitely coming back here again, hope they have their promotion going all year long 😉

  We stayed in Millenium Hotel Fujairah and had buffet breakfast in Al Rihla. Break fast was quite lavish with a live cooking station where you can order your choice of omelette , fried or boiled eggs etc . A range of Arabic and English themed mix breakfast dishes were displayed. I started with a bowl of Fresh fruits and also tried those apricots and peaches in sugar syrup which were so delightful to have in breakfast. Sausages, hash browns, beans , potatoes, eggs, fresh salad ,olives, greek cheese, all kinds of cheese, butter, breads,pancakes,cereals, milk, fresh juices , selection of tea, coffee & many other items were included in menu. Interior has a lively look with red color . Restaurant is spacious. We had a good experience of night stay . Wifi is available. Rates are also reasonable. Comfortable place for family stay.
