It's a two-meal flight. I believe it's "supper" (an abbreviated version of dinner) at takeoff and breakfast upon landing.

IME, the ex-ME midnight departures really are crew dependent. I've had service done in 40 minutes...and I has an ex-DXB departure last year where dinner lasted almost 3 hours, so there were only a few hours of lights off before breakfast. I care about sleeping so the DXB example pissed me off. Supper tends to be shorter and at midnight folks are exhausted so chances are the lights will be dimmed shortly.
