The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic Emirati flavors and beautifully presented dishes. The staff were warm, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Every detail, from the welcoming atmosphere to the quality of the food, exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Emirati cuisine in a beautiful setting. We will definitely be back!
This Emirati vibe restaurant is worth visiting. The moment you walk in and feel the ambiance, it gives you a sense of old UAE life. For the food I first thought the dish was regular fish maybe with turmeric to make it yellow. I checked the menu again and realized it was baby shark. Well it tastes like fish 🙈😅 and you will keep wanting more. It is even better with the fish sauce on the side. I suggest choosing this option for two instead of ordering fish, squid and shrimps separately. You save more and you get to try the baby shark. The food was simple but good. Thanks Mani for the great service! We will be back.🙂
