Arabian Fish House Restaurant & Cafe - Dubai

Must visit - had our best meal here! We went here in the afternoon for lunch and were left in complete awe of the service, food and the ambience. The staff was polite and friendly - we were served by Dilshan who was an absolute gentleman. We ordered lemon shrimps (star of the show), grilled sea bass, baba ganoush and hummus AFH. Everything was delectable but if I have to choose a favorite it was definitely the shrimps - so soft, flavourful - left me wanting for more. We had a great time! The creek view added to a great ambience.

Arabian Fish House Dubai: A Standout Seafood Spot in the City For seafood lovers in Dubai, this restaurant hits all the right notes, starting with its star offering—ultra-fresh seafood. The grilled shrimps are a standout: plump, firm, and infused with a subtle blend of lemon and chili, retaining that sweet, briny taste of just-caught produce. Every fish dish, whether pan-seared or served as the signature Fish Fattah, stays tender and moist, complemented perfectly by creamy tahini sauce that elevates the flavor. The accompanying bread is a delightful surprise too. It’s freshly made, with a crisp outer layer and soft, fluffy inside that’s packed with wheat aroma. Best of all, the staff proactively offers free refills without you having to ask—small but thoughtful detail that enhances the meal. Service here shines as well. The waitstaff are attentive and patient; if you’re new to Levantine or Arabic seafood dishes, they’ll walk you through each menu item, explaining preparation methods and sauce pairings clearly, so you never feel unsure about ordering. What truly sets it apart, though, is the value for money. Given Dubai’s generally high dining costs, the prices here (like 75 AED for grilled shrimps) are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and portion size—making it a must-visit for anyone wanting great seafood without overspending.

For dinner they have the additional outdoor area right by the creekside. It was quite nice with some breeze. The food was great. What's not to like with grilled fresh fish. The lemon garlic sauce and the house special sauce went well with it. The rice was a surprise - the flavor and the texture. We also enjoyed the grilled shrimp and the fried lady fish. The service was excellent. Beware that some of the menu items are seasonal. Call ahead to avoid disappointment.

the place is so beautiful and peaceful, the food is great and the service is extremely welcoming. They also have this complimentary heart shaped dessert. Thank you for your service Angelita and Deepak, they are highly recommended.

Our family visited this restaurant twice during our vacation. The hospitality is out of this world, and the food is of excellent quality. We've rarely been served so well in a restaurant. We'd like to thank you for the wonderful experience and hope to visit you again as soon as possible.

Came here for breakfast on our first day in Dubai. I’ll never regret our choice, the food was absolutely pleasant and the river view was impeccable. Special thanks to kavishka and sophia for the great service!

We had fish and chips, I found it very crispy not soggy at all. Second dish was fish fatteh, I honestly preferred to have fatteh. It was my first time to try fatteh with fish. Lovely place. Good one for winter

Amazing food, huge portions and a cozy atmosphere at the restaurant. After the main courses, we were served a complimentary heart-shaped jelly. The staff are attentive, maybe a bit too much. Several waiters stand and closely watch what’s happening in the dining area almost like security guards. It’s a bit uncomfortable as if they think you might run off without paying. Try to observe the situation more discreetly for the guests’ comfort.
