The Market Place

I come here at least once or twice a week every Ramadan. Today i made a reservation early in the morning for me and the family. We arrived before time and what happened was not acceptable. Every guest is angry and i had to wait a long time until my turn came, just to hear that there are no tables. They made us sit near the lobby. There was a large tv screen next to us showing war casualties and sick individuals. The food was cold and barely enough for the guests. This is because they accepted a large number of people, more than they can handle. Shame really, they could have made the price higher and have less guests. They should choose quality over quantity. Shame, I am never going back there again.

Located in the Marriott hotel.
Limited buffet but the food tastes exceptionally fantabulous.
Indoor water features give an awesome ambience with natural water flowing music to the ears.
The servers are very welcoming and courteous.

Excellent restaurant with great service thanks to Myat and Kant they provided exceptional hospitality

A million thanks review and post for The Market Place F&B Team, especially Ms. Neema, Kant, Myat, Lohith, Aman, Sushma, Mark, and Audius (I apologize if I spelled their names incorrectly).

Thank you is insufficient for your thoughtful gestures last September 19 when you surprised my mother with a birthday card and cake.

Since we simply planned to have an ordinary birthday dinner as family, we didn't really ask for anything, but your quick instincts amazed me. I'm quite sure someone from the team might heard us or what talking about my mom's speacial day 🤭😅🤔 ... However, we will really remember the efforts you put forward 🌹❤️...

May God bless the entire Marriott team and you all. Keep it up 🙏🏻

I had the best experience with The Marketplace all thanks to Falak. She was very accommodating to my family. Her customer service is superb. Although we didn’t tell the staff about my nephew’s birthday, she probably overheard from our conversation and initiated to give my nephew a cake and greeted him along with the team of The Marketplace. She is truly a gem. Customer service is very important in this industry. Hence, I commend her for it.

To add, for was amazing! Will be back for sure!

Good food. Their seafood night has good selection. Some nights are just ok. But if you looking for oyster and salmon, then seafood night is definitely a must try. :)

Recently we had a family dinner at The Market Place located in Marriott Hotel Al Jadaf. I spotted some of my favourite salads and appetisers- loved the beef salad, fattoush, cheese board, moutable was so creamy and you can make your own salads as well. In addition to these they had an assortment of breads, cheese fatayers, fish fingers and pizzas to munch on. Catering to the basic cold salads, to middle eastern favourites they were fresh and perfect. We also enjoyed their juice counter(drop by my story to have a glimpse)- the flavours were- Frosty Forest, Passionfruit Mojito and Berrylicious- this was my favourite concoction for the night, perfect balance of tang, sweetness and sour notes.

Serving up a concise main course menu as well, from fresh grills, to curries, western/european cuisines and middle eastern favourites that we definitely enjoyed having. The chicken tawook and kofta had the right amounts of spices, pair that with their oriental rice- aromatic and fragrant cooked in cinnamon, minced meat, and sumak, this was scrumptious and the cinnamon wasn’t overpowering at all. I also enjoyed the chicken moussakan- something new, mellow, simple yet flavourful. They also have a live pasta kitchen- drop in your preferences and fresh pasta made right on the spot for you.

Moving ahead, their beef beijing with prawn crackers was another hit for me- tender pieces of beef tossed in thick soy sauce gravy and colored capsicums with a subtle hint of spice. The steamed sea bream bass with asparagus and baby corn was too good, I paired that with some mixed veggies cooked in béchamel sauce and that was a done deal. The chicken alfredo was thick and creamy, just as I’ve always loved it, deliciously made.

My most loved and favourite section of any buffet will always be the desserts. Servings of small portions of every desserts enticing my sweettooth cravings all in one go. Some of my favourites were the Baked Yoghurt- I popped in about 3-4 of those cute sized pieces with ease- so creamy and simple. Their Umm Ali was super scrumptious and rich with flavours, loved the puff pastry soaked in warm milk with nuts and essence, the mushy texture is what I enjoyed. The Pistachio Muhalabia and Halawet El Jibn(Sweet Cheese Rolls) were another classic, especially the Muhalabia had the perfect consistency and sweetness- middle eastern desserts done right! . The Cookie Cream Cake was so light and fluffy, a bit dry but the whipped cream compensated for it. Their Strawberry Baked Yoghurt was another favourite of mine as well as the Ice Cream counter- catering to chocolate and vanilla with toppings to settle on. These desserts got me sugar high.

We had a lovely family dinner here, everything being enjoyable and delicious. The staff were friendly and very professional, a shoutout to them as well.

Bright and cheery location for breakfast buffet. The staff is enthusiastic and friendly. Love the energy level they possess.
Food is not great, but not bad either. Fair amount of selection. Quite a bit of a wait for the staff to pick out the food items (during peak hours) and most of the time it is impossible to view the dishes from afar. But in view of the pandemic this is unavoidable.
