This restaurant take care of the small details to experience the Imarati old culture. The food is yumy. Such a nice place!

We went here for dinner and the place was nice. The food was also nice but kinda pricey for me. I forgot the name of what we ordered but it was like a seafood platter thats good for 4. We were informed that the food will be served in 25-30mins but the food was delicious so it was worth the wait. Theres no washroom inside to wash hands and we had to go out of the restaurant for it but, luckily, the washroom was just a few steps away. The staff were polite and friendly. 4 stars for this restaurant because I had to download their menu. It would have been much better if they provided their menu on a tablet.

Good restaurant with cozy ambiance. Service can be improved a little bit. We asked to bring all dishes and drinks together, but got salad and drink first. I have been told that lemon mint juice isnt sweet, but for me it was really sweet. Food was good.

Great environment, nice view and quiet enough to feel really comfortable. Also the food is nice, fish and seafood well cooked.. And dishes has delicious outlook

Nice place with good decorations reflecting the old Emirates culture and local food. The food was really nice with very good quality and quantity with reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and professional.

The environment ment is nice but food is not so great

Local food & seafood options. Tasty. Water view

As a resident I was surprised at how reasonable the menu was. Great Emirati food. We had one of the share platters and a side of calamari for lunch on their beautiful patio. Fantastic flavours and service, would go back in evening to try the fresh fish!

One of the best Emarati Traditional restaurants in the city.Food is so good with big portions. Place is nice with local style decoration. Prices are reasonable. Staff are friendly & helpful.Highly recommended.

It was our first time trying this restaurant and I can assure that it will not be the last the bryani shrimp was delicious very fresh and full of flavours I really advise you to try it as well as the grill fish.. price is acceptable just I think they over priced the salad.

Wow! This was great tasty regional food. The vistas were spectacular! We ordered the chicken and fish biryani... excellent.

Been there in a mid of December.Cozy seafood restaurant with a nice view. Prices are very affordable. Food is 4/5, service 4/5

One of the best Arabic Restaurant. Their food was great as it was fresh and very tasty. The staffs were really helpful too. We will definitely come back.

At first glace this restaurant has a very good look, and it appears to be a very nice place. It is on the Dubai Creek, and they have outdoor seating near the water. However, the food left me quite disappointed. They gave us a garbanzo bean appetized that was delicious, so my expectations grew. It was followed by a mango salad, which was also, very, very good. Finally came the Shrimp Biryani and some local fried fish which I cant remember the name. They were dead three time over. First because they fished it out of the water, second coz they over cooked it, and third because they overcooked it some more. How can you mess up shrimp? Well they managed. So if you liked overcooked fish, I recommend this place.

Nice local restaurant with focus on seafood, prepared in arabian style. Liked it. In the historic Al Seef quarter. Fair priced.

Had Chicken Beryani Deyay and Calamari. Fruit drinks were okay. Overall the food and the location of the restaurant was really good! My fiance & I, we both enjoyed their Emarati vibes!

Best view in Seif Area, authentic local restaurant, tasty food and friendly staff , you enjoy food and view

A really great place to have seafood. Always delicious and flavorful. We love the ambiance, the decoration of the place… but most of all we love their food! Just yam yam:))))

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, free soul and wonderful dessert. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

Lovely staff, Darsheel in specific. Even though he is a trainee, his personal skills are outstanding: very polite with high sense of customer skills. Food is lovely, had grilled squid and mutton machboos.

Wonderful view at night but subpar food. The fish I had was OK but the rice in the biryani was dry and under-seasoned.

The place was great but I suggest to put some relaxing music so itll not be boring while waiting for the order. Food was fantastic! specially the grilled fish. However, theres no menu for the kids

One of the best restaurants to get Emirati cuisine. Love the lukeimat. Slightly priced on the higher side but has Zomato pro offered which can reduce the impact on the wallet. We dont miss ordering the lukeimat here. On this visit we had the lentil soup and the chicken magdbi (subtler version of the biryani with a roasted chicken piece). The food doesnt disappoint and the service is prompt. Will keep visiting this place.

Amazing hospitality, very friendly staff. Ameen and Orlando specially were very helpful and offered the best in the menu based on our demands. 😅 but honestly great experience overall and food is worth trying if you are a seaterian specially (majbos with supreme) bon appetit 🙏🏼

Food was superb! Seafood was so fresh its like you cathed them directly from the sea! And their dessert was fantastic for sweet tooth peeps! I highly recommend this restaurant! 👌

Super love this place!! Good food😋 good ambiance! Good service! Juliet is very nice to assist us., worth the visit this place., they always serve fresh seafood 👍🏻

We only liked the decoration and mango salad. Place was extremely quite when we came, and food order took more than 10 minutes to be placed because of the very amateur intern and the non-flexible senior waiter. And we asked for non Spicy food and still it was spicy. Last thr prices are high, even we used the Entertainer discount! 3-star because in general is ok, and that if you know what you want and accept the prices, it will be good specially in winter.

One of the place whare you can see the old and new version of DubaiAs tourist it must go

Killer view. I had a breakfast looking the at the port during fog.The menu is great. Very clean. Staff are friendly and professionals.I recommend any choice in breakfast menu. Its a good place to eat during a visit to the old part of dubai.

Would like to share this great place to dine in with family and friends. This is Alfanar at Al seef. The food is so tasty 😋 really yummy worth the money each and every bit of it. A must place to try the restaurant has kept the heritage of this place of the shore. When you dine it here you will have a vintage look and trust me you will have a finger licking meal to the very end. Try their custard 🍮 as its really tasty and try their Luqaimay really tasty,Not forgetting the staff Mr. Sooraj Ms Juliet and Mr Jose. Really incredible polite customer Freindly 👌 and kept everything perfect to the very end.Note: for all food lovers do try this place as they have a place at the sea side to dine it as well.

Beautiful ambience,delicious and good design food. Kind and polite staff. great experienceRecommend to all. The access wasn’t good.

A hidden gem around Al Seef Heritage Village.Apart from the fresh seafood selection and good service that they offer, you will be treated with a wide variety of insta-worthy theme around the restaurant and even the restrooms.Check out Orlando, his service is impeccable. He guided us on what to order, which made us feel homey. Thanks Orlando!

Truly Hidden gem of Al Seef. Decor outside and inside is very locally authentic and perfectly blends with style of entire area. Food is incredibly tasty - especially shrimp biryani and seabass

We had the seafood Machboos for 2. The portion was great and enough, service was excellent and very friendly staff.As an Emirati, the taste definitely feels like home even though I’m already home :) i look forward to visiting again with foreign friends for them to try out.One thing i wish was available in the restaurant is a place to wash our hands. Paying after wiping our hands with wet towels was uncomfortable.

I really enjoy the ambience and decoration of this restaurant. It follows traditional Middle East style overlooking the river.Food selection is enough and food quality is above average. Price is reasonable so overall I think its worth a try.

Generally good food, especially the fish mains and desert. Squid wasnt that great - the main is the same as the starter for it but has rice instead for an extra 30AED.. Atmosphere and location was really nice with the creek just outside.Staff was kind and food arrived in an okay time frame. Pricing fair.

I just came here to say that the sizzling date pudding was out of this world. I absolutely loved it!! As for the food, it was so and so.. the machboos tray (pic)was good but the machboos robyan was sad.. we paid about $20 for 8 maybe 10 tiny pieces of shrimp on top of a pile of rice 🤷🏽‍♀️ the rice was bleh!

The outdoor seating area is very welcoming overlooking the waters and boats. It’s best to visit during the day for best sunny vibes. The menu is mostly fish but they also have meat, chicken, and a few vegetarian items. We started with the Ruqaq bread with cheese and it was very crispy and fresh. The grilled shrimps were delicious and well seasoned. The chicken Biryani is a generous portion! The grilled and fried fish were good but they weren’t cleaned inside (guts still in) ! End your visit with luqaimat and Karak tea!

Nice restaurant with a good view and interesting dishes.I gave 4 stars because staff couldn’t recommend us what is good to share.

Very good restaurant

Very beautiful location. Beautiful scenery. Delicious food. Reasonable prices. If you want to taste the emirati food, choose this one

Unfortunitelly I did not have a good experience in here, the taste was below normal, especially the taste, the staff were excellent, the view is amazingThere is usually a waiting here, you can pay by cash or credit

Seafood soup is one of its kind. Amazing service and lovely food.

If you love sea food try this seafood platter!!!

Good traditional emarati food

Great experience. Exotic dinner. The staff is very helpful. Friendly atmosphere.Great place for dinner! Special shout-out to Juliet, Richard and Mohammad for a wonderful surprise in celebrating my birthday.

Great food & ambience. I will definitely come back.

This is my second time to dine here. The 1st was with my ex colleague and we definitely had a good time. Today, i brought my friend who is celebrating her birthday today. I told her the food here is great. We loved the ambience and most especially the excellent service of Juliet, Richard and Mohammed. Sure to be back again, and again and again.

Amazing sea food..specially grilled ...fresh food dine..

They really want to welcome you as best as possible.Food is fresh and so delicious (not the cheapes but adequate to quality). I defenetly ate to much, but was hard to stop!Highly recommend this restaurant.

The place was really relaxing.. old town alike ambience was really amazing! Food was excellent portion was value for money! Our server Orlando was very entertaining! And really provide exceptional service!

Great place to hang out.. very romantic and quiet place your family will love... they serve delicious food and very affordable..

One of the best seafood restaurants in Dubai. First of all, the food - always fresh, deliciously cooked, enough options in the menu. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful - high quality service is guaranteed, the view from outside terrace is fantastic! And yes, they have the best karak tea in the city! Definitely recommended place to visit!

The food was fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price. Customer service is amazing! Shout out to Juliet she’s really helpful and accommodating.We highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is so good! We first came here for snacks then came back for a proper meal. Was not disappointed at all! The food was amazing! Thanks to Mr. Ameen for accommodating us. He is very good in dealing with all our request from sitting arrangement to our food orders. Also, superb service of his staff Orlando. I would definitely come back. The price is reasonable with the perfect view of abra. Would take more friends here

Good location good food friendly staff

Rice dishes were tasty, squid was a bit dry. The food took ages to come but service was good

Delicious seafood, with authentic Emirati vibes. Lovely to sit outside when the weather is mild. Highly recommend the Seafood Trays to share 😋

Really good and quite authentic fish restaurant with terrace in the replica of the old souk on the creek. Nice and fast staff serve delicious fish platters here at affordable prices. Good alternatives to all the shopping center restaurant chains.👍

We tried the food here and it was so good. Everything was freshly cooked. The staff was so accommodating and friendly.-Ameen-

Service was good, need to improve

It was okay. Service was fair, nothing special. Food was good, but not wow. View was beautiful.... I enjoyed it, but wouldnt go back.

Lovely local restaurant with authentic food and great service. Cheeky little view of the river too. Smells entice the tastebuds. Sizzling date puddhing and rice was amazing.

Very nice authentic place with delicious food and very good service! Highly recommend! If you get lucky you will be served by Mohamed, he is very friendly and attentive, we really enjoyed his assistance! )))

One of the best arabian cuisine when u r in Dubai. Their Raan Leg Biriyani is must try. They do have full raan Biriyani which they make on prior order. their quantity is quite a lot and its definitely worth going in groups. Some place to cherish when you are in dubai. Must Try

The food is not good at all. Waiters where nice but food can not tolerate any critics. For the loaction and view im only giving 2 stars.Sorry guys, please improve your quality and I will raise my score

Great food and staff with excellent view

Great service and the food was very tasty. Definitely will come here again. So many more dishes to try. The seabream was so well done in Al Fanar platter.

Perfect place to enjoy your meal. Food is delicious and the staff amazing. Beautiful view as well. Recommend this authentic restaurant!

Found this gem of a restaurant by chance while walking along AlSeef. The place has amazing food, very attentive and kind staff and great views of the Creek. Highly recommended.

Food and Service is excellent!

Great service. Food was very delicious.

Love the warm seating under the sun overlooking creek and sipping their mint tea. Lovely place. Orlando was a great server.

Place is nice but poor service , even no apology for miss dishes,We are two and ordered two same main course and we get one and we have to wait for another 30 min for the other same dish.

This located in old Dubai, the environment is nice and seafood is tasty. The “samak mashwi-Seabream” is recommended. The fish is fresh, simply grilled with salts. I would recommend to have it with naan (bread), the naan here is really good.The seafood soup and lemon-peppermint juice also good and fresh you.After the dishes, they will put traditional “Tawash” for clean the hand. Which is really good experience

Nice terrace and good service. One of the nicest terraces at the creek. Food is good and reasonable priced however they could spice it up a bit more for me.

The location is nice. The view is beautiful. The service is ok. The food is ok. Would I do it again. Probably not

Good food and service it perfect

We (703 squad) went to this restaurant and didn’t expect the well welcome of the staff...They are all very fun and approachable.Shout out to Mr.Ameen and Miss Juliet for the very good service and awesome food..

Nothing special here even the view of the Greek here wasnt that great considering its location ! The grilled seabass I ordered was below average and so salty and the size / portion was small . The staff and the service were superb hence the 3 stars .

Very friendly and accommodating staffs. Nice view and very calm ambiance. Delicious food. Definitely coming back soon.

Amazing service especially from the staff who assisted us, Mr. Ameen. Great food and great ambiance. I would definitely comeback.

A great place in a very beautiful location, amazing food and super friendly people.A beautiful place to relax and have a taste of authentic food and traditions in Dubai.

The food is so good! Staff are very nice and accommodating especially the kabayan staff Ms. Juliet! :) best to recommend for date night!

We went for Friday breakfast and the food was amazing as well as the service. Thank you Orlando for your friendly service. Will come back soon.

Food was really good. Juliet is very accomodating in our needs. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Enjoyable, tasty food and helpful staff, great view, Ill definitely come back.

The restaurant is amazing with its customer service. The food was excellent and sea food tray is a must! Shoutout to Juliet - exceptional server!

The ambiance was amazing. The customer service was great ☺ very accomodating and friendly. We will come back here again ❤

I enjoyed visiting the restaurant as it is not my first visit, the food is very delicious, the staffs are friendly and kindly , the service is also distinguished, in addition to the restaurant front, which is very beautiful and overlooks the sea ..

Very bad experience.. the staff did not seem to be able to manage the number of people. Food served a bit cold. Tea pot provided filled half only so we needed to order more. Even the tea served not too hot. Food was very much ordinary or conventional. Staff late or delayed response. Food or menu considered expensive. I believe we had to pay a lot which was not worth it.

Well that was right up therewith the best...thank you! Lovely location,fantastic staff and food

Great location by the picturesque Abra overlooking the Deira skyline, the memorising waterway and Dhows. Good choice of food, tea and Arabic coffee.

Nice restaurant at a very relaxing spot away from Dubai downtown hustle. Our dinner was excellent. This is a very good plan for some tasty local eateries.

Have ordered Mutton Machboos and Chicken Machboos, and loved it! 😍 The foods are good and the ambience is cozy. We’ll definitely visit them again.❤️

Nice place to experience Emirati Food..All their dishes are delicious and comes in good protions. Also they have Friendly staff and nice ambience.Keep it up. 👍
