You might try these Florilegium files:
E-Arab-recip-art  (48K)  3/23/03    Early Arab recipes prior to the 
13th Century
                                        by Anahita.
fd-Mid-East-msg   (48K)  7/24/02    Period food of the Middle East. 
Recipes.
The above are in the FOOD-BY-REGION section. The following is in the 
FEASTS section, but I don't know how well any of it will work with a 
buffet format:
ME-feasts-msg     (20K)  4/ 4/04    Middle Eastern feasts. sitting, 
serving.

You might consider this file in the BEVERAGES section for beverages, 
although some of these are going to be Persian rather than Arabian:
jalabs-msg        (71K)  7/ 3/04    Drinks with a sugar or honey-syrup 
base such
                                        as Sekanjabin (Persian Mint 
Drink).
