Friday dinner at Taier Al Monal in Abu Shagara, Sharjah is the Weekday Dinner Buffet: AED 42 for adults and AED 22 for children aged 5 to 10, with under-5s free, from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Water and soft drinks are included. The bigger Weekend Premium Buffet runs on Saturday and Sunday instead.
What is on the Friday buffet?
The same spread that runs every weeknight: biryani, karahi, handi, daal, a live tandoor counter turning out boti and seekh kabab, fresh naan, salads, and dessert. The full dish list is on the buffet page, and the weekday menu PDF there shows it line by line.
Why Friday is the better-value night
Friday sits at the start of the weekend for a lot of families after Jummah, but it is priced as a weekday. A family of two adults and two children aged 5 to 10 pays AED 128 on a Friday, against AED 196 on Saturday or Sunday. If you can make Friday work, the saving is real, and the tandoor counter is the same.
Should you book ahead on a Friday?
For a table of two to four, arriving early in the 7:00 PM window is usually enough. For a family group or a party of eight or more, message ahead on WhatsApp so the tables can be joined before you arrive. A birthday on a Friday also comes in at the weekday rate.
When to choose the weekend buffet instead
The Weekend Premium Buffet on Saturday and Sunday, 7:00 PM to midnight, adds weekend-only specials, an international corner and a bigger dessert table for AED 65 per adult and AED 33 per child. If the occasion matters more than the bill, that is the one. Our weekday vs weekend guide runs the numbers for different groups.
