We ate at The Pods for breakfast and had a great experience. The breakfast platter was very affordable at only 49 AED, and the food was really good and worth the price. However, I have one small comment. The inside of the pods could use some renovation. There are noticeable stains on the walls, possibly from rain, and it takes away from the nice view of the place. Because of this, it was also hard to take good photos inside. Still, the food was excellent, and we enjoyed a quick breakfast dine-in. Also, big kudos to our waiter Layro. My friend and I felt a bit bad for him because it was very hot outside and he was running around taking orders between the pods, but he still managed to give us very good service. Great job, Layro!

We would like to thank Joana for the excellent service she provided during our brunch at the Pods. She was attentive, professional, and very accommodating throughout our dining experience. Her communication skills were excellent, and she ensured that we were well taken care of from start to finish. It was only towards the end of our meal that we discovered she is Filipina, as she had been speaking English with us the entire time. We were pleasantly surprised and truly appreciated her warm hospitality. Thank you, Joana, for making our brunch experience so enjoyable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The experience in the pods was honestly beautiful. The location was perfectly set, with a red carpet that instantly made it feel special. Each pod had cute bows matching the Christmas theme, and the Christmas tree added a lovely festive touch. The food made it even better. The raspberry lemon drink was super refreshing. The starters really stood out—Kung Pao chicken and the sushi rolls were amazing. I also finally learned how to use chopsticks here, which made the experience even more fun 😄 The main course didn’t disappoint either. The Thai green curry was comforting and full of flavour. The chicken dish with rice was slightly spicy, with peanuts, capsicum, and veggies—really delicious and felt healthy too. Overall, it wasn’t just about the food; it was the whole experience that made it so memorable. 🎄🍽️✨

Had a wonderful experience here. The private dining rooms create a very comfortable and exclusive atmosphere, offering plenty of privacy while enjoying the evening. The location itself is stunning, with beautiful views and a truly premium feel. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Since this is a well-known tourist destination, we weren’t expecting the cuisine to be this good, but every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. The two-hour dining slot was more than enough to enjoy dinner at a relaxed pace without feeling rushed. Overall, everything was fantastic, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a special dining experience.

Celebrating advance Father's Day with family and friends over brunch. We had a good view as we are ssated with beaxh view by Jhoanna. Lahir or lahim have served us well. Though we thought breakfast are included with tea or coffee that is why we went here. This is a downside as drinks are quite expensive. Service is great.
