Family Dinner Buffet in Sharjah: Prices, Timings & What You Actually Get

"Family dinner buffet in Sharjah with price" is a search from someone who's done this before — they know the food is probably fine, what they actually want is the number, up front, before they decide whether it's worth loading the kids into the car. So here it is, no call required.

The actual prices

• Weekday Dinner Buffet (Mon–Thu, 7:00–11:00 PM) — AED 42 flat, one price for everyone above age 5
• Weekend Premium Buffet (Fri–Sun, 7:00 PM–12:00 AM) — AED 65 per adult, AED 33 per kid
• Children under 5 — free, on both
• Ages 5–10 — half price, on both

For a family of two adults and two kids aged 5–10 on a weeknight, that's roughly AED 126 total (2 adults at AED 42, plus 2 kids at half price). On the weekend it's AED 163 (2 adults at AED 65, plus 2 kids at half of AED 33). Both include live BBQ — not a separate, upcharged add-on.

What's actually on the table for that price

• Chicken biryani, karahi and handi on the main-course rotation
• Live tandoor BBQ — tandoori boti, seekh and malai kabab, mutton chops
• A Kids Corner — chicken strips, nuggets, fries
• Fresh naan and tandoori roti
• Dessert — gulab jamun, kheer and more

Weekday dinner vs weekend — which is the better value

The weekday buffet is the cheaper, tighter option — same live BBQ and core main courses, flat pricing, no adult/kid split to calculate. The weekend buffet costs more but adds a wider spread: extra weekend-only dishes, soups, an international corner and a bigger dessert table. If you're bringing a group where everyone eats differently, the weekend's variety is worth the difference; for a straightforward weeknight family dinner, the weekday buffet is the better per-person value.
