From the moment you enter this restaurant the effect is intoxicating. The dim lights, the pebble stones, plants, trees and an abundance of wood that decorates this establishment makes you feel like you have been transported to a village in the Far East.

Once you decide on a table the staff welcome you with complimentary vegetarian spring rolls: crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.

You are then escorted to pick and choose from the seafood market. You know the deal: a bed of ice on which sit, in this case, very fresh looking fish that could have landed there straight from a boat.

You then tell your waitress whether you want your meal grilled, steamed, sautéed or fried. The variety is good and we recommend for starters the calamari that was cooked just right. The baby hammour is good steamed and the dorade is superb with the Thai herbs and lemon grass.

You have two choices of prawns; opt for the local prawns in green coconut curry unless you want to seriously do damage to your wallet with the jumbo prawns!

Steamed rice and a mix of vegetables cooked in oyster sauce will complement your main course. Fresh mango and papaya or ice cream will serve as a clean finish if you have enough room.

We went here for my husband's birthday. Made a reservation and after some time they called me back to check if i would like some bday cake. Good idea since I haven't thought of that. I am surprised that they are giving the vanilla flavored cake as complimentary.

Real value for money for AED 111 per pax, eat all you can. My family are joking that after all the seafoods we've eaten that night, it would take 6 months before we will try eating seafoods again.

Service is very good and fast, though we were one of the early customers(we arrived at 07:30PM). Around 9PM, I heard some of the guests complaining that their food takes too long to be served. So I think better to be there early.

Overall, we will definitely be back..

one of the best meals out that I've had since coming to Dubai. Friendly and efficient service and wonderful, fresh seafood. Shame it was so quiet when we went as it definitely deserves to be busier. We will definitely be back.
