My fiancé and I were both seriously craving great seafood, and Bordo Mavi absolutely delivered (and more!). It’s only a quick 15-minute drive from us, and we were seated after just a 5-minute wait — already a win in Dubai.
From the moment we sat down, our waiter Komron made the evening unforgettable. Instead of the usual “everything’s good, order more” approach, he was so genuine in guiding us, suggesting the right amount to order and pointing us toward their signature dishes. That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and personal.
Now, the food… wow. We started with the fish kebab, which was bursting with flavor and came on a bed of the most delicious, fluffy couscous. Then came their top dish, the seafood orzo — and it lived up to the hype. Every bite was a mix of perfectly cooked fish, prawns, and squid, making it such a fun dish to share and savor. The calamari was fried to perfection — light, crisp, not greasy at all.
For dessert, the kefir ice cream with honey was next-level insane (I’m still dreaming about it!). And I have to mention the little touches — like the spicy dip and complimentary starters, plus the hazelnut butter we saved a piece of bread for at the end. It all made the experience feel so indulgent and special.
The vibe of the restaurant was lively without being overwhelming, and the service was hands down the best we’ve had in Dubai — fast, efficient, kind, and so attentive. We left full, happy, and already planning to come back. I honestly can’t wait to bring family and friends here to try the rest of the menu.
Bordo Mavi is an absolute gem. 🐟🦑🦐
P.s. Sinan is an incredible general manager, very attentive and made the whole experience amazing! Thank you team ☺️
