May in Dubai arrives with its own rhythm — part celebration, part reset. With Eid Al Adha anchoring the end of the month and International Mother’s Day setting the tone at the start, the city leans into long, unhurried meals and family-first plans. Tucked within Deira’s Gold District, The Spicery at Novotel Dubai Gold District emerges as a quietly compelling answer to all of it, offering experiences that feel considered rather than overproduced.
The Eid Brunch That Prioritises Ease
Eid brunches in Dubai often fall into two extremes, overly crowded or overly curated. The Spicery finds a more balanced middle ground.
Running across the first three days of Eid Al Adha (27–29 May), the brunch is designed with one clear intention: to let guests slow down. The buffet is expansive yet approachable, with a focus on seasonal variety, while the atmosphere leans warm and grounded — reflecting the spirit of Deira rather than competing with it.
At AED 79 for adults and AED 39 for children, it sits comfortably within the ‘accessible luxury’ space. Especially given the inclusions. Families, in particular, benefit from two dedicated children’s zones: a complimentary PlayStation area and a hands-on art workshop.

The Evening Alternative: Eid Mubarak Dinner at The Spicery
For those who prefer their celebrations after sunset, The Spicery extends the experience into the evening with its Eid Mubarak Dinner.
Running on the same dates (27–29 May), from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, the restaurant shifts tone. The setting becomes softer, more atmospheric — with the city’s night skyline adding to the experience. The buffet remains generous, but the pace is slower, designed for lingering rather than rushing.
The experience carries over the same pricing as the brunch, along with its family-friendly appeal — with the PlayStation zone and art workshop extending into the evening, it remains just as engaging for younger guests.
Dates: 27–29 May 2025
Time: 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM

A Mother’s Day Brunch That Gets It Right
If there is one standout moment on the calendar, it is this: mothers dine complimentary.
On Sunday, 10 May, The Spicery hosts its Brunch on Us, Mom experience, a straightforward, well-executed concept where accompanying adults pay AED 99, children AED 45, and moms enjoy the full brunch at no cost, along with a rose on arrival.
The setting is styled for the occasion, the menu remains generous, and the inclusion of children’s activities ensures the experience works across age groups — from younger children at the art station to teenagers in the gaming zone.
