A circular aquarium is the centerpiece, though it’s the quality of the food that lingers. Serving a wide selection of seafood including sashimi, Singaporean barramundi laksa offers perfectly flaky fillets with just-cooked-enough julienne vegetables and a hearty broth. The classic lobster thermidor is delicious, and the meat cooked perfectly – it seems that every dish has merit at Aquarium, thanks in large to strong broths and delicate flavours.

Nice tranquil surroundings overlooking the creek. This was my first visit here when I came on the 11th of August. The centre of the restaurant has a cylindrical aquarium.
Decided on the set menu. First up was salmon cake. Sorbet offered before the main course which was the seafood platter that included the tail of lobster, prawns, hammour & salmon with vegetables. Fresh ingredients prepared with care, marks this place.
Duo of Brie de meaux - hot and cold cheese serve with crackers completed the meal.
Waiters willing to chat and help with suggestions.
Cost Dhs 170(set menu), plus extra.

Really lovely restaurant, lovely cocktails in the bar area before dinner. Great service, fantastic setting and very good prices. Beautiful creek views. It is usually bit quiet so really great if you can take a small group with you! Great for impressing clients as well!

An unexpected gem in Deira. Service was excellent with knowledgeable and non-intrusive servers. Their summer menu is great value.

We went for dinner. It was fabulous! More worth it than going to Al Mahara. :)
