I strongly agree with the description on its interior (excerpts from the official website):
"A contemporary oasis with private silken dinner tents, Moorish arches, ornate paintings, and richly woven carpets lend an enchanting ambience scented with spices...."
Take a look at the pictures above and tell me if you do not think so too.
The set lunch is pretty much "fixed" as in you do not get to have any choices at all (except for coffee or tea at the end of the meal). Some warm flat bread and olives were served at the beginning of the meal along side a petite complimentary glass of fresh orange juice. The cold appetizer followed soon after. The appetizer of that day was some eggplant and bell pepper timbale.
The main dish was served next. The chef's choice was grilled chicken with assorted grilled vegetables. To be frank, I couldn't remember much details of this dish but I do think it was just ok.
Dessert was "dessert of the day". In this case, it was Cherry Clafoutis, a typical French country dessert. Cakey yet pudding-like, it may looked plain and simple but was in fact, pretty good! As mentioned earlier, coffee or tea was served together with the dessert. I remember the coffee as being good and strong.
So there you have it, if you happened to have a Starwood Privileges coupon for set lunch at Al-Nafourah, you can more or less know what to expect. Basically, you would just have to eat what the chef had selected for the menu at time of dining. I am sorry I could not be more specific on the descriptions but this lunch was a month or two ago. Since it wasn't remotely remarkable, I have kind of forgotten most details. Anyways, the above is only applicable to those redeeming the Starwood coupon only. I understand that their usual set lunches are available daily but with a different menu from the above.

Hmmm ... can't be a bad thing :-)
ps - The food's rather yummy too!
Hi Julian,
Alas, I didn't get to witness the belly dancers since I was there for lunch. To be honest, I took a peek at their menu and their ala carte choices looked so much more promising than the Starwood Privileges Set Lunch menu.
the environment is impressive !!
but i dun have the coupons leh....>.<"
i didnt think the food is great..its been a number of times alr..tried and tested..
nice enviroment~~
No choice!! So sad...and so UN-democratic...at least there should be some options for fish!:p
Hi ling,
You can always try their daily set lunches which at least, have some choices for you to select.
Hi Joe,
You mean their a la carte dishes are no good too?
Hi squall,
yeah, agreed!

Hi citygal,
I didn't even know there's such a buffet. Hmm, are they any good?
Hi cumi&ciki,
