From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Time Out has had mixed feelings about Fish Basket over the past few years, but we cannot deny the culinary thrill of trawling around and selecting our own wide-eyed fish from the market-style crushed-ice display.

We also can’t deny the Lebanese prowess when it comes to cooking seafood. With an Indian Ocean’s worth of calamari, snapper, squid, tiger prawns and crab on offer, the menu also features Lebanese standards like houmous and fattoush salad.

But why bother ordering those when each table is set with a mountainous plate of salad and flatbread? You can order fish the way you like it (grilled, poached, fried, but make sure you spell it out to the wait staff to avoid any error.

worst restaurant in Dubai ever... not clean, bad Decor, very very bad service and lazy employees.
not because it serves Tabbouleh and Hommos is concidered as Lebanese restaurant..
they use one kind of spice for all their meals, red and kinda chilli and not tasty at all,, it killed the seafood taste
it is expensive for such service and meals, i wish we went to McDonalds instead.

Do NOT go to this restaurant. The prawns and the calamari were ok but the waiter made so many mistakes and then he added an extra 150 Dirhams on my bill. If I hadn't looked at it properly I would not have noticed!! And we paid 650 dirhams for three people, for just having ordered one kg of prawns (small not even the jumbo even though he tried to charge us for the jumbo...), one kg fish and one plate of calamari. There so many restaurants in Dubai that are way cleaner and better and cost much less than that. Any seafood all you can eat in any 5 star hotel will cost you less than that!
