TL;DR
Recent feedback suggests hotel dinner buffets in the UAE are generally plentiful, with meat, fish, seafood, desserts, and simple kid-friendly food. Fruit selection tends to be more limited, usually watermelon and melon, with occasional dragon fruit, passion fruit, and plums.
Dinner buffets are reported to have enough meat and fish, including grilled shrimp and salmon, with meat and seafood dishes available regularly. Fruit is less impressive: mostly watermelon and melon, with occasional dragon fruit, passion fruit, and plums.
A detailed recent review mentions grilled steaks, large prawns, juicy chicken, and crab at dinner. The beef carpaccio with parmesan and desserts like coffee mousse and cheesecake with berries and white chocolate were especially praised. For kids, there are easy options such as nuggets, fries, and pizza.
An earlier update noted that some popular items can run out by later in service: watermelon, seafood such as mussels and shrimp, and a red heart-decorated cake were already gone that day. Other food was still available, so it helps to come earlier if you want the most popular dishes.
