This is the way. An authentic, affordable and very welcome escape from the over-priced over-trendy circus of flashier establishments crowding the Marina.
Huge variety of fresh fish available grilled with oil and lemon/lime, baked in white sauce or grilled open and done in a red sauce, plus allll the shellfish, soups, salad and more. I could eat something new here every night for a month and still be happy.
And it was all very good. Not exceptional. But that's not the point. The point is it was very good, very unpretentious, and only 100aed for a very full and healthy meal. Simple, fresh, food, done well with no bones about it and as nice a view of the marina as you'll find anywhere around here.
Plus, everything starts with pita bread and an assortment of small sides (mine were tahini, beets and mixed peppers and onion, while a table beside me seemed to get baba ganoush instead of beets), and ends with watermelon slices.
Honorable mention to the camel adorned jewel box the check comes in.
What's more could one ask for?
Oh, they're also open till 2am.
Seriously, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a meal here. Or two for the price of most other places around here.
