Arabesque Restaurant and the separate café
Danat’s current dining collection identifies Arabesque Restaurant as an international buffet and all-day dining venue, with regional cooking alongside global dishes. It describes Western, European and Middle Eastern breakfast choices and a varied evening selection.
The same collection separately names Arabesque Café as an Arabic restaurant. The branded digital dining directory also gives the restaurant and café different menu links. Select Arabesque Restaurant when asking the hotel about the meal described here.

Meal sessions and the menu format
The hotel publishes breakfast 06:30–10:30, lunch 12:30–15:30 and dinner 18:30–22:30. These are named meal sessions, rather than a promise that every digital-menu item is offered all day or that a particular buffet package is available for every date.
The restaurant’s own digital menu lists salads and appetisers, soups, sandwiches, Italian choices, mains, sides and desserts. Its current mains include Oriental mix grill, grilled chicken, fish and prawns, lamb dishes, curries, biryanis and vegetable choices. The Italian category includes Margherita and Vegetariana pizzas, beef-salami varieties and a seafood pizza.

Prices, variants and ingredient labels
The digital menu says UAE-dirham prices include applicable service charges and taxes. Those item prices are separate from any buffet or special-event meal package. Some curry and biryani entries appear in different variants and prices; select the actual dish and format before comparing a bill.
Some chicken or lamb items also carry a V symbol despite their written meat ingredients. Do not interpret that symbol as vegetarian suitability. The menu asks guests with allergies, special dietary requirements or ingredient questions to consult the restaurant; establish the accepted ingredients and preparation for the actual meal.
