TL;DR
Based on traveler feedback, a decent Turkish hotel buffet is usually enough and guests are unlikely to go hungry: even small buffets are refilled regularly, with fruit, local cheeses, and greens often mentioned positively. Going out to a restaurant is more of an optional change of scene than a necessity.
Even a small buffet can work well in practice: the serving line may be compact, but dishes are refilled on time, and fresh-cut salads and cheeses are served instead of items sitting out too long.
If presentation and overall hotel atmosphere matter to you, traveler feedback suggests the food usually covers the basics well enough, so you do not need to hunt for a restaurant every evening.
You can still go out for dinner at a standalone restaurant for variety, but this is more about a change of scenery than necessity: with a good hotel meal plan, you are very unlikely to go hungry.
A recurring strength of hotel dining is the selection of fruit, local cheeses, and greens. If fresh produce matters to you, this kind of buffet setup usually meets expectations.
