From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Stuck on an obscure balcony in the Madinat, this easy-going Moroccan spot can be tricky to find – but once you do, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful view of the canals below. If you can, opt for a table outside, as the inside can feel a bit lonesome, in spite of the live oud band.

Though last year we found the food a bit lacklustre, this year we’ve seen strong signs of improvement. The shrimp in the meshoui dish are large and fleshy. The raucously spiced mergeuz sausages also makes for a sensational starter. Some items are a bit of a miss, however; the cous cous royale offers off-the-bone tender chunks of meat, but the watery soup accompaniment leaves the cous cous soggy.

Though the bill can be breathtakingly high, Shoo Fee Ma Fee is a good spot for merriment and decent food, which can be comfortably rounded off with shisha.
