For authentic Chinese food, go to Lam Kwai Fong or Spring Bamboo, near Lamcy/American Hospital. The one in Dragon Mart also taste Ok.

For Indonesian food, there are 4 restaurants in Dubai (all in Karama) and 2 in Abu Dhabi (all near Abu Dhabi mall).

Ohh, okay. Must try the Indonesian food there. And could anyone tell me where to eat buffet with cheap prices and good food? I would love to eat buffet when my budget is low there.

And do anyone know where to find Indonesian food? It's delicious and spicy! I love it so much.

There are quite a few Italians about. One I liked that springs to mind was in the Emirates Towers - I think it's called Mosaico.

Let me know if you need the location of Indonesian restaurants and type of foods you like.

Buffet for which kind of food? Looks like you like (spicy) Asian foods, so there you go:
For Indonesian, I'm not sure if they still serve buffet on weekend in Mutiara restaurant (opp Centrepoint/Spinneys on Trade Centre Road, Karama).
For Pakistani, there's Al Ibrahimi in Karama.
For Indian, there's one in SZR (between interchange 2 & 3, on the same line of car showrooms).
For Thai, on some days at Baitong restaurant in Karama.

My two favorites:

Frankie's in Oasis beach towers, Dubai marina. Nice atmosphere, good food. Not as designish as other Dubai restaurants, more cozy.

Miyako in Hyatt Regency, great teppanyaki, love the live cooking tables!

I am a bit spoiled since I worked in this business for six years and I am pretty much fed up with all the designed places in Dubai where neither service or knowledge is up to standards...but they do charge you a huge pile of money. Hopefully this changes now and the pricing levels will adjust with the changed market.

Asha's at Wafi city has got to be the best Indian Restraunt ever!!!

If you're into buffet Al Mona at Madinat Jumeira is the best buffet I have been able to find....its just phenominal!!

And if you want a sit down american restraunt....NOTHING LIKE TGI FRIDAYS!!

i have been told if you would like to find places to eat try http://www.menu.ae

Unfortunately TGI Fridays (which use to be a nice place to go a casual evening) is more like a Mcdonals in this country. Not a restaurant.

The best ushi I ever had was at Bentoya!

THe little buildings next to the Dusit DUbai, the one with Sketchers in the bottom, Bentoya is round the back - awsome - love it!

Except the fact that Fridays originaly is a bar, with tables you can sit and drink and eat at if you want. And this is how you find it everywhere excpet for here.

Don't take me wrong, I like the food there, but it is more of a shopping lunch fast food joint than the bar it is supposed to be around here.
