Hi American ladies,

If you ordered already- where did you order your turkey from for this weekend?

I have found a deal with Room Service Deliveries where apparently Al Bustan Rotana will do a 10 person turkey,gravy,stuffing,potatoes,veg,cranberry,desert for 485... this seems much MUCH cheaper than any of the other hotels, does this mean it won't be as good? Would you recommend it/ Any experiences with their food?

Being in JBR, will they even deliver that far??

Jumeriah Beach Hotel, I have just ordered it for Christmas. I am not sure if they offer this for Thanksgiving. We had a turkey from JBH two years ago and it was great. Huge side portions too. Hoping it will be just as good this year :)

We have had turkeys from Oasis Beach Hotel (no longer there!), Sheraton Jumeirah Beach (delicious), Hilton Jumeirah Beach (very good), Marriott Harbour Hotel (superb!). I always do my own roast potatoes as I'm not a huge fan of hotel roasties but all came iwth all the trimmings and were superb.

louisedvs, how much food was there? I will be making cornbread muffins and a yam dish and there will only be 7 or 8 of us so do you think I still need to make more roast potatoes and veg? How about the pumpkin cake is it big enough for 8?

I have the same question- last year I used the Sheraton and picked it up myself and it was wonderful but I noticed the two other options on room service dubai are much cheaper- has anyone used the Radisson or Bustan Rotana for Thanksgiving turkeys? Would love some feedback before I order. Thanks!
