Which restaurants in Dubai are good for large groups?

Look for buffet restaurants or places with private rooms and set menus. For value, many Dubai groups book buffet restaurants in Sharjah, where a full dinner buffet starts at AED 42 a head.

How much does a birthday dinner for 20 cost in Sharjah?

At Taier Al Monal, AED 1,340 on a weekday, including the buffet for twenty, wall decor, flowers and a cake.

How far in advance should I book a table for 20?

A few days' notice is usually enough for tables to be joined; give more for weekends and public holidays.

Can the restaurant decorate for a birthday?

Yes. Taier Al Monal offers wall decor for AED 200, cakes from AED 150 to AED 300 and a flower bouquet for AED 100.

The best restaurants for large groups in the UAE can join tables for twenty or more, fix a per-head price in advance, and handle the extras, such as a cake, decor and high chairs, without fuss. Buffets do this best, because everyone eats the same price and nobody waits for a dish. For a birthday or group dinner, a buffet restaurant in Sharjah usually costs far less per head than a private room in Dubai.
