Lamesa

Somehow there are a lot of Filipino restaurants now in Dubai. But these restaurants have been recommended to us from Filipinos living in Dubai to give them a welcome dinner or lunch so that they can eat a lot. And these restaurants serve buffets so the good thing is that you can eat all you want and eat all you can. You can eat lechon in here, sisig, there is also crab and shrimp. There are a lot of choices you know. You can try to visit and dine on this place guaranteed you will have a full tummy when you go out.

Food is superb! Everything was good! Staff were very nice especially Hem Raj. He was very mindful, welcoming and smiling all the time.

The food is great. The reception staff is so nice and assisted us well. Here name is Shiela. Thank you

Nice experience of mixed dishes Fiipino, korean, japanese. A lot of varieties of desserts. Non muslim only

I had an awesome visit to Lamesa! Sheila, one of the staff members, was incredibly accommodating and found me a table in no time, even though the dining area seemed pretty rushed due to the crowd. Despite the busyness, the entire staff provided wonderful service throughout our meal.

As an Indian who enjoys pork dishes, Lamesa is my go-to place for Pork Sisig, lechon kawali, and crispy pata. These dishes never disappoint. However, today's buffet also featured salmon Sinigang, and it was a heavenly addition to the meal. Lamesa's diverse and delicious offerings make it a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a taste of Filipino cuisine.

The food was absolutely splendid with a very wide variety of option from deli, to beef, to pork. The staff were always friendly and willing to help. The lighting was abit dark for my liking. Overall a great place to dine.

The food is so delicious with a lot of varieties and the service part is even better. The guy named hem raj is an amazing guy with good gesture.

Best place to celebrate your birthday and to hang out with family. Alot of food choices. Sushi are so tasty and main dishes are just so good. The waiters are friendly and accomadating. Its a bit pricey but still worth the price. Just make sure you are so hungry if you plan to dine in Lamesa.

Look for hem raj he is an excellent staff! Attention to detail.he looked after us the whole dinner time.

All is good. Food, service and the restaurant itself. Apart from the singing Happy birthday song for the celebrant. It's loud and doesn't sound like it's a song. More like a noise. Esp the small drum.

The staff are not accommodating and unprofessional, especially Jed. There were no birthday song for the celebrant and we were waiting for the bill for more than 40 minutes. The worst, we were very vocal and no one apologized from their team. They should be trained to be hospitable.

If you are Filipino, then you will love this place.

It's a great place to celebrate special days and to gather with families and friends.

Food, is great since I love our own Filipino dish. The good thing in Lamesa they also serve pork. It's a mouth-watering dishes like our all time favorite lechon, crispy pata, dinuguan, sisig etc. You can also enjoy their other dishes like sushi, pizza, and dimsum.

When it comes to service, they have fast service and very accommodating, and will make you feel that your in home town.

And since this restaurant is located inside of the Hotel, they also offer different liquor.

Apparently since the place is a little bit old, I hope that they can change the interior part of the restaurant, to make it vibrant and chill atmosphere.

First the place us clean and great ambiance then the staff are good when its comes to customer serv8ce i will give them 5 star for that.

Second the foods, sisig is full off fats and i cannot even eat more than 1 spoon, PORK BBQ was elastic i cannot bite and chew easily, CLAMPS AND SQUID are hard to bite and i dont understand the taste (its only spicy nothing else) some foods are ok and the SOTANGHON GUIDADO the taste was blant.its was not worth the money we spent for almost 20 people.

The staff are all nice and accommodating.

The food is OK. I’m actually expecting that it will be tasty and will feel that I am home (Philippines) but it didn’t feel that way. Sisig was tasteless and it’s my favorite…️ Buko pandan though is tasty and crispy pata is legit.

It is also quite loud when they sing “happy birthday”. Like you’re in a middle of riot or something…

One of the best new experiences I've had recently
Although it was my first time here and it was the first time to celebrate my friend birthday, I can confidently say this place has taken a spot among my favourite restaurants around!

The staff are all cool and very friendly.the food is great.the taste of dinuguan is very nice.the lechon kawali, crispy pata and lechon belly so crispy.and the one that i really love it.is the sisig.and it was worth it.keep the quality of service and food here.they'll have earned a loyal customer in myself.

I certainly recommend the place.

The only thing that separates this restaurant from any other Filipino restaurants is that they serve pork. Other than that, I regret to say that there’s nothing special or redeeming about this place.

With all other dishes, I’ve had better. Maybe I can recommend a few like beef tapa, buko pandan, and their igado.

They also accommodating staff who are very aware of their customers.

It’s a good value for money as it’s affordable anyway.

I was there in lamesa with my daughter for lunchtime I was enjoying the buffet food! Litchon kawali so crespy, beef pata super delicious, humba so soft and sushi yummy I love all the food thanks lamesa.

The staff are not friendly, very poor service and they don’t accommodate my request.

I have a reservation for lunch for 3 guests, when i told to the hostess that other 2 cannot make it and i will be alone.they put me on a table where there is a table with group.i asked the Filipino waiter if they can ask his hostess if she can put me far away from the group table, he came back to me with not so acceptable answer, that there are only 2 tables available for single dinner guest, knowing that i book a table so i have a reservation.

Good food, very polite and friendly service. Highly recommended, great place for groups

Worth it!

Amazing Filipino restaurant in Dubai! Probably one of the best ones. For lunch they have a buffet for 79 AED, and all the food is wow. The meat dishes are wow, Lechon Kawali is just wow! The lechon paksiw, pork kare-kare. Another great mix is the garlic fried rice with Beef tapa! I also recommend the local beer San Mig. The sushi is quite good, the Siomai dumplings are also wow! They even have pizza! Deserts are great (my fav the local Buko pandan). Photos with everything attached.
The host speaks perfect English and they were very friendly and helpful. I also really need to mention that the toilets are amazingly clean, and the place is children friendly.
I highly recommend you to visit this place if you’re in the Dubai area! A+

Went here for a weekend buffet lunch on a Friday with friends for the first time after having been in Dubai for 2.5 years. The lunch buffet is AED79 per person; drinks are not included.

The place is clean with enough distancing to observe health and safety protocols. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

The dishes were okay. The only ones I really liked were daing na bangus, maja blanca and buko pandan. This place is recommended for meat eaters as they serve lechong kawali, crispy pata but even my husband who eats meat was unimpressed.

The watermelon and melon slices tasted bland considering there are lots of good quality seasonal fruits available. I tried their yang chow rice and it was flavourful. Their white penne pasta was tasty but the seafood marinara pasta wasn’t. Since the lunch buffet did not include drinks, we ordered water (Arwa). My friends ordered cafe latte which were watered down.

Their marketing says they serve Asian food and I was expecting more like lumpia, pancit (glass noodles). They can definitely improve the selections by changing up the dishes once in a while.

The place was nice. The food was good.but the lechon skin was dissappointing. Need to improve. Totally the experience was fine.

The place you have to be for the Asian food.especially if you love pork meat.
Can't forget the birthday celebrations that left everyone amazed.
Overall service and the food and value for money is excellent.
Will definitely be back soon.

The buffet price is very reasonable for the price. The choices of foods are amazinf, the staff are friendly, the ambiance is welcoming and playing a soft music.

I actually was in Yuraku, formerly it was Manilla grill.and only one word. WOW!
Fresh, quick, great grill, Asahi beer!
Life is gooooooood.

Friendly Environment, staffs. Loved the food. Weekends! Be there before 6pm to avoid rush or else secure your place by reserving. Price worthy, feel yourself home.

The food is better if its hot, the waiters should focus more on assisting their customers rather cleaning the table.

Quality filipino pork dishes with impeccable service, always. I would like to especially commend the team from our last visit - my kid swung on the table (thinking he is light but he is strong sorry) and toppled the table breaking the glasses (terribly sorry). The team helped immediately without any extra charges - just pure customer service, bringing in betadine to clean the tiny bleeding cut on his hand. Much thanks and kudos to the team!

Please can you make your food maintain the quality? Twice we celebrated my sons bday, the food was nice 3-4 years ago. We attended a bday this year and it was very bland and food choices. Siomai, Crispy Pata, DINUGUAN, lechon kawali was a let down.

If you miss eating. This is where you should go I love the food and ambiance. Great place to celebrate every occasions with your family & friends. If it’s Weekend, I suggest you call for reservation so you don’t need to wait.

Note: They have free parking. No Vale Parking during pandemic but you can park on your own in the basement. Just go on the side of the Hotel and you’ll see the entrance going to the Basement Parking.

Buffet food. The food are really plenty. Mostly not allowed for muslim. Above average price but its the only place to eat pork lechon etc. Drinks are not included and quite expensive. Water is included.

Went on a dinner date with my batch mate in college cause she was craving lechon (pork), and ended up being here. Wasn't really expecting much, but when we were there, we are astounded to see varieties of food selection especially on appetizers and entrées. But most specially their lechon is really good. Affordable rate of 79aed for weekdays ain't bad if you are up to a buffet trip.

The amount of food is no longer the same, soup is always beef mami, the sushi tastes bad and sluggish
It feels like you don't get the worth of your money anymore.

My experience in Lamesa was excellent, amazing customer service specially Joven Santo very helpful and accommodating. Keep up the good work. Kudos Lamesa Asiana Hotel

Had a dinner in Lamesa restaurant with my colleagues. The Food was absolutely wonderful, interesting menu, reasonable price for drinks, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Delicious meals that was perfectly served by waiter, Ram.
Thanks Ram for your good service & great job.
We will definitely come again.

A great place for PORK lovers. Buffet price was reasonable even though food varieties were less (due current pandemic issues), all dishes were tasty.very pleasant and friendly staff.

It was first time to visit and it was worth it. We had alcohol package. Good variety of pork but sushi section needs to be improved. I was impressed with professional and friendly staff!

I am a Filipino, hence this is a go-to place if i miss crispy pata, lechon kawali, bopis and pork bbq.

I would like to share my first experience In this restaurant, Fast forward over all the food is very delicious but the thing catches my eyes is one of the chef preparing and cutting of the California maki (salad and japanese section) is not wearing gloves. ‍️ My friend is complaining also of the the taste of the ice bc its too sweet the waiter never offer any alternatives like sodas or other juices. Writing this not to harm anybody. Thank you

Serving pork (crispy pata, sisig, lechon kawali and lechon belly) which is awesome! Buffet price aed69 with unli soft and ice tea!

The pork they serve was nice. The sushi and dessert also delicious. The location also easy to reach by metro or bus.

One of the best dining place in UAE specially for Filipinos and the price is amazingly value of money where pork also served.

My friend's wedding reception was held here. They have a nice place and service. Food were all amazing.

Loved the food! Was skeptical when I got the invite but I enjoyed every meal. Well arranged sitting positions with enough space for movement. Attendants are courteous. Food is delicious!

The resto is within the hotel situated nearby the bus stops and metro stations. Cabs are around the corner too

Authentic filipino food at the best cheap price! Went 2 times this week and wish i had an extra tummy just to satisfy my cravings. Crispy Pata and lechon kawali was so Amazing. Will go back again from time to time. Service was a little bit tied up and there was a slight delay upon our seat but overall experience was a blast.

The place is great when it comes to buffet dishes and it has lots of choices from seafood to pizza and grills and some exotic cooked beef and chicken plates from the far east.

I Had My Proposal in this place today and I LOVE IT!

from the Staff and the manager Mr. Fel is really nice and take care of everything! THE BEST!

i will come back for sure ️

It is a nice all you can eat restaurant/ eat all you can restaurant serving Filipino and Asian cuisine, and frequented by Filipino expatriates. The dishes had delicious taste. I had a great time with family and friends in a cozy ambiance inside La Mesa Restaurant.

Good food, wid range of food, taste friendly, highly recommend, me and my guests visited here on October 10th 2019, we had buffet lunch, great moment

There could be a change in the Chef, food quality and taste is disappointing. The lechon is just crispy but the taste is bland. Chicken meat in the pasta is undercooked, red sauce is thin/diluted.

One of the best restaurants for my country food:)
I advise all Philippinos to go there and try; amazing taste with the best hospitality.

Had my 1st buffet treat in Dubai here, it was an amazing experience. Food was truly clean, served beautifully arrange and so enticing! There are many variations to choose from and warm.the staffs were very friendly too! The food tasted good and really satisfied my Asian food cravings!

Dinner service today was a disappointment. There's not much food to choose from. Food stations are almost empty. They are featuring lomi batangas supposed to be. But the station was not even refilled from 9 pm. The barbecue doesnt even taste like one. It is lechon kawali put on a skewer smothered with bbq sauce. Salad bar was a mess as well as the desert station.

Nothing's really special. It was my first time to come there I expected too much but it's like ordinary buffet restaurant.
