A friend suggestion took me here. The food was mind blowingly fantastic. The fish was grilled to perfection and with right masala and spice. The prawns we ordered in two style.. Fried and grilled and would suggest to go with grilled because it was massive. They also serve you with fresh salad,hummus, garlic paste and khooboos.. Along. A definite visit.

It was my first time to dine-in in this restaurant and it's very satisfying food we had. It's very fresh seafood that you order and they cook for you according to your preferences. Most recommended the grilled tiger prawn, grilled hammour fish and fried seabream. Incorporated with fresh salad and hummus that makes the dinner fully completed.
