It was very delicious experience, nice atmosphere, service was perfect, food was fantasy, this restaurant only selling fry fish and shrimps with curry sauce, bread and rice, mostly I was liked fish and shrimp, I’ll come again, and I liked the parata bread😄😄really nice. This restaurant is unique in Dubai have own specialty!

Ahhh... what a place to visit, I got a chance to visit here, fresh fish and prawns. First you have to get the raw fish, then they prepare it and serve it with rice, roti and one of the tastiest curry made from coconut, it tastes sweet and spicy at the same time, I love this curry. The fish was fresh and tasty, they served a variety of fishes. One must visit this place.

My cousin and I went there today and we were so pleased with this place. The food tasted great, basically the best fish i have ever had in a long time.

Overrated restaurant. The process of getting the food was not easy for a first timer. Staff could be little more courteous to its customers. Cash only business got me little annoyed. But they accept euro and dollars to keep the business. Tried the fish and prawns with ghee rice and fish curry. Food was good but disappointed with the whole experience.

This is the place to go if you're looking for the freshest seafood. It was definitely worth waiting for a table, because the fried fish and prawns were amazing. In combination with rice and bread, it makes a delicious meal. Despite being tiny and simple, it's still better than all the fancy fish restaurants in town. Highly recommended!

This was my first experience at this pioneering Kerala seafood restaurant in UAE. I was really surprised to see such a big crowd of mostly tourists here; didn't realize this fare was enjoyed by so many!

Located at the very end of Kite Beach and quite close to the Burj Al Arab, this is a humble restaurant whose interior looks more like a cafeteria. The dining area is mainly outdoors during good weather, with benches set up on the deck on two levels.

Customers have to queue up (and mind you, the queue is long!) and order at the counter. Fish may be chosen among the displayed fare along with the preferred level of heat and spice. It is then weighed and the total cost depends on the weight.

The preparation and waiting time is quite brief considering the crowd and quantity being cooked! We chose a large fish and some large prawns to be grilled, along with the usually available ghee rice and accompanying gravy. We also ordered a porotta to soak up the gravy and a drink.
The fish was beautifully cooked with lovely crisp skin and soft, white tender flesh inside. The prawns were equally good but a little too greasy for me. The rice and gravy went along well with the fish and prawns.

The flavour is quite subtle and not the fearsome hang-your-tongue-out kind of hot and spicy, which was a major plus point for me! Probably to cater to the tastes of the majority.

Great food for group dinner! So delicious! Love the fish and prawns 🍤 Could have been awesome if there’s soy sauce and vinegar on the side for the fish ✌🏼

Amazing amazing amazing for sea food! Fresh produce caught from the sea, served fresh and tasty. Love it. However it would help if the hygiene was a little better. But the taste and the amazing service makes up for it.

One of the best fish fry I ever tasted. At first I thought they were grilling, coz the aroma so delicious around the restaurant but then I came to know they actually fry all the items we select from the menu. However definitely best in taste and highly recommend to enjoy tasty sea food.
