TL;DR
Hotel buffets in UAE typically include chicken, beef, lamb, fish, sushi, pasta, salads, vegetables, fruits, and fresh pastries. Breakfast and dinner are buffet-style; lunch may be à la carte.
A recent early-July update says the food situation improved noticeably: breakfast had a solid selection, including fish and a wide variety of cheeses. Lunch was also reported as good, and Thursday was mentioned as a fish day.
As of mid-July, dinner included various side dishes such as sweet potato mash, alongside meat and fish, and there was also a dedicated kids’ table.
Dinner quality can vary significantly from day to day: on some evenings meat and fish options are very limited (only meatballs in tomato sauce and stewed chicken, with the rest being vegetables), while the next day the selection is noticeably better. Breakfast tends to remain more consistently varied.
As of late June: food is tasty and varied. Dishes repeat, as is typical for any buffet. Beef, lamb, fish, and fresh baked goods are always available.
Mid-June: grilled meat and fish, sushi, fresh fish, salads, and pasta are on offer. Themed evenings (Turkish cuisine, seafood nights) were not running during this period, though they have been held in the past.
Mid-June: breakfasts are varied — yogurts, smoothies, hot dishes. Lunch and dinner feature differently prepared meat each day. Side dishes, salads, vegetables, and fruits are always available.
Meal format: breakfast and dinner are buffet-style; lunch is à la carte or also buffet. Quality is high with at least one chicken, beef, and fish option, plus vegetables, fruits, and salads.
