Buddha Bar Dubai at Grosvenor House Marina: the vibe, menu, prices, dress code and how to book — full 2026 guide.
Buddha-Bar Dubai is open at Grosvenor House in Dubai Marina. Choose it for a Pan-Asian dinner with entertainment in the same venue. The restaurant’s main hours listing and Marriott agree on 7pm–1am Sunday–Thursday and 7pm–2am Friday–Saturday. Its own FAQ gives later closing times, so confirm the last sitting if you plan a late arrival. Facts checked on 9 October 2026.
What to expect
Buddha-Bar combines dinner, cocktails and a performance programme. That makes it a stronger choice for a group wanting dinner and music in one place than for a quiet, conversation-led meal. Book the dining room if food is your priority; ask about the lounge separately if you are organising the later part of the evening. The venue’s format is the reason to choose it, rather than another generic claim about “Dubai luxury”.
Menu and prices
The restaurant’s official site says there is no minimum spend and a two-hour seating limit. That is different from a fixed package or an unlimited evening at the table. Read the live menu and decide on your dishes before setting a budget. For a group, agree whether you are sharing food or ordering individually so the bill does not become a surprise.
Opening hours and location
Address: Grosvenor House, Dubai Marina. Reservations: +971 55 123 3696. The venue’s own dress policy is smart elegant and excludes trainers, sandals, flip-flops, shorts, baseball caps and sports attire. Use that specific policy rather than the hotel directory’s broader “smart casual” label.
How to book
Book through SevenRooms or contact the venue directly. Its stated policy is 12+ in the dining area until 9pm and 21+ in the lounge; ask the reservations team how that applies to your party. Do not book a late family dinner assuming the lounge and restaurant have the same rules.

Dinner and entertainment: choose the right sitting
The venue advertises Sakura’s Secret from Tuesday to Saturday at 8:30pm, with DJs, visuals and live performances. If that programme is the reason for your visit, book around it rather than assuming every service includes the same show. For a two-hour table, an early dinner and a late lounge visit are different plans. Ask whether your booking includes the programme and whether moving to the lounge needs a separate arrangement.
