Em Sherif Sea Abu Dhabi

Been here twice once for a regular dinner and the second time for my husband’s birthday, because we loved it so much the first time that it had to be our spot for a special occasion! The service is incredibly good, and the staff are caring on a whole different level. On our first visit, we tried so many things the hummus (so creamy and delicious), the fattoush made with fresh za’atar that I became obsessed with, and the shrimp fattah yes, shrimp fattah! One of the most creative dishes I’ve ever had. Instead of bread, they used the angel hair that’s used in knafeh it’s insanely creative and tastes amazing. The batata harra (spicy potatoes with cilantro, garlic, and lemon) is a must, and the shrimp with garlic, cilantro, and lemon is another winner don’t sleep on it! For the main, we had the sayadiyah (rice with fish), which was good. On our second visit, we had to reorder the shrimp fattah, the fattoush, the spicy potatoes, and the shrimp with cilantro and garlic. We also tried the fish ras el asfour, which was really good, the eggplant appetizer (so, so good), and the grilled chicken with garlic dip honestly life changing! Don’t sleep on this place especially if you’ve got someone you want to impress. Take them here!

Absolutely loved my experience here! 💖 The Fish Siyadiya 🐟 was hands down the best I’ve had in the UAE — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and memorable. The Shrimp Fatteh 🍤 was so unique and delicious, full of flavor The Hummus 🥣 and Kale Freekeh 🥗 were also amazing — high quality, creative, and unlike anything I’ve tried before. Every dish felt special and carefully made ✨ Definitely a place I’ll always come back to for top-notch seafood and creative Lebanese flavors! 🌟

there was an employee named Bassel who explained the menu to us with great honesty and professionalism. His respectful attitude and exceptional service made this visit truly special. Many thanks and appreciation to him.

Some friends and I decided to try Em Sherif Sea Cafe at the Rosewood Hotel Abu Dhabi. We were not disappointed. The sea bass and assortment of mezzes were absolutely delicious. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and the side had the right seasonings and preparation. We. were. so. happy! The restaurant itself is stunning with a view overlooking the water off of Al Maryah Island. The restaurant is large but the set up made it feel quite cozy; almost like in a small, intimate dining room. The service is attentive too. Make sure to make Em Sherif Sea Cafe a stop while in Abu Dhabi!

Em Sherif Sea Cafe Abu Dhabi. Em Sherif is a well-known name when it comes to Lebanese cuisine. This cafe has a twist of focusing more on seafood dishes. They even have a seafood shawarma.

I have tried this restaurant previously and was one of the best, i tried to reserve for new years eve! And im surprised that i have to either pay for 3 and we are 2, or reserve through money transfer and im saudi it will take longer than usual to receive the amount! And i tried explaining that to the lady but they werent helpful so i had to cancel my new years plan and look for somewhere else ‼️

‼️‼️WARNING‼️‼️ I was charged 82 AED for one big Evian water !!! Even when we reached the other branch the menu shows it for 37 AED. So this is cheating ❌ I urge you to investigate this as it might have affected other customers without noticing. BTW This branch has a mostly sea food based menu , that’s why we went to the other branch which has better menu and service.

For some reason, this place is called cafe, but in fact, this is a full-scale restaurant with a large menu and diverse food options. This is a classic Lebanese establishment with a lot of food, caring and knowledgeable waiters, and hookah. The food is excellent, cooked to perfection, and has special twists and extra flavours. It's also served in a nice way. However, it is slightly overpriced. There are 2 different glass halls decorated with big plants - non smoking area and smoking area. In both, there are many large tables, and general decor is slightly outdated. It seems to be planned that vintage way. The cafe itself is located in a West Bay Beach club and has 2 entrances - from the street and from the beach. For winter season, Cafe will also open the outdoor terrace.
