Looking for an evening with great outdoor seating, amazing shisha, Beirut beer and amazing food? Head out to Flooka! It's one of those hidden gems 💎 that makes you think, why we didn't visit this place earlier. We tried their Batata Harra 🥔 for starters, it was flavourful. For the main course we tried Sayadiyeh and Spinach Ricotta Ravioli, both were scrumptious. The portion is good and they do provide you sides to munch on. For drinks we ordered Beirut beer and shisha to accompany. Great food and service made our evening wonderful. We will surely visit again. Cheers!! 🍻
Flooka is always our favourite seafood place in abu Dhabi. We always enjoy sheesha over there this time as its summer we couldn't enjoy that, but generally very good ambiance and good seafood especially the prawns grill and their staff Mr. SANDEEP took very good care and very attentive.
Amazing seafood restaurant in Eastern Mangorves. A bit overpiced, but food is nice and the outdoor seating is too good when the temp is low. the only issue i faced was they took long time to serve the food we had asked for, rest all was good.
It is one of the best experience in Abu Dhabi. Location is amazing, food is really Good. The band that was performing on Saturday made the atmosphere great. If you are visiting Abu Dhabi, it is a must to go to Flooka.
If you’re looking for the best seafood place in town then look no further! Plus it’s worth trying even for some drinks by the water, one of my most favorite places in town.
There was a band performing when we went to Flooka on a Saturday. The atmosphere was so nice, the staff are friendly and the view is relaxing. The seafood was yummy.

If you feel like eating seafood with a great view and nice ambience on a Saturday afternoon, Flooka is the place to be at. Every Saturday a live band preforms there during lunch time from 3:00 to 5:30. It literally feels like home and it’s a very comfortable restaurant and that’s why we are more than customers there. My family and I literally go there every Saturday. The staff are so friendly the management is beyond amazing the food is great the view is beautiful, what else can we ask for?
I like restaurant’s management who cares about the tiniest details, for example yesterday we were having lunch there and we ordered fillet of the day, and surprisingly it took more than an hour to arrive due to miscommunication between the staff, however we told them to cancel it as we had to leave by then, so they sent us complimentary ice cream as a gesture/ apology for that action in addition they apologized many times themselves to us. This was really thoughtful and extremely nice of them. Thank you Flooka team, keep up the good work.
One of the best seafood places u can visit. You can pick fresh raw fish to be cooked for u. It takes bit more time than but totally worth the wait as long as u r eating something really fresh! Appetizers are also good.
Ambience is really nice at the outdoor viewing by the seaside and at the indoor u will be fascinated by the Fish Squadron chandelier.

Best Shisha in town 😍
Greatest atmosphere and super lovely staff🌺🌺
Am in loooove with their shisha, their music remix and the outdoor seating😍
Highly highly recommended 🌺
I visited this place for their Saturday brunch and must admit it was really great. The chef made amazing Jumbo prawns .. The outdoor terrace has an excellent view of the mangroves along with the live music band. With the weather kicking in, its perfect time to enjoy and relax at this venue. Thank you team for your great food and service. I will be back soon. Highly recommend it for the seafood lovers..
We went for a table of 4 for dinner with an outside view to the mangroove with an amazing weather. We ordered mezza of fattoush, moutabbal, batata 7arra, cheese rkakat, samak tajin and the chef was kind enough to cater our order which was not on the menu, fried aubergine. as main we selected fresh seafood with the options of fried and grilled and we ordered both. We ended our meal with a traditional turkish lokoum and biscuits. I highly recommend this place.
Had a meal here with the family and everyone left satisfied with the experience, the fish is delicious and the outdoor seating is great! Would recommend.
This place is great, so calm facing the mangrooves. Good for Arabic cuisine. Babghanoush and the breads are so yumm and fresh that it is good for one and stomach filling. I enjoy going there. They have good music and nice place to visit. Staff is very nice and humble.
Lovely experience from start to finish. The waiters were all very accomodating fron start to finish, the setting was really quite something on the water overlooking the mangroves, and the fish on offer was fresh and very tasty.
We had fish sojouk, fattouch salad and pumpkin kibbeh to start - all really delicious - and shared a grilled Hammour (grouper) for our main. All done really well, and would definitely return!
Thank you again!
Good atmosphere and friendly staff! The food is also good and the view is breathtaking. Vegetarians may however not find too many things on the menue. Fishlovers on the other hand will be spoilt.
We were hesitant between flooka and the neighboring restaurants in the Eastern Mangroves but after stopping by to see the menu and the atmosphere it was a no brainer to try this out! The manager was so pleasant as well, explaining us the menu and when we mentioned we have the entertainer he was so accommodating, informing us where it could be used. We had grilled fish and prawns, I have to admit it wasn’t all ‘wow’ like I have tried in other seafood restaurants. Rating it 4 mainly because we were so well taken care of and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Delicious seafood with an amazing view. We went for the lunch set menu. It includes 3 mezzes each. Any mezze from a large list can be selected so we ended up sharing 6 between 2 of us. They are quite a large portion and I love that they had so many seafood options. Fish kebbeh, prawn crunchy vermicelli, prawn croquettes were excellent. For the main course we had the grilled hammour. The meal ended with some refreshing sorbets. The staff is very friendly. We were able to spend a long time by the water and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
Food, ambiance and service is good but mezza price rate is high compared to five stars seafood restaurants in uae............................

Flooka is situated on the Easten mangroves promenade which is a great area for watching people and boaters, especially those fun donut boats. They specialize is Arabic seafood and everything is very fresh. I went specifically for the Saturday brunch which should really be called a "set menu" but the word brunch is just too popular here in the UAE.
You begin with an array of great starters. My favorites were the smooth creamy hummus, the pumpkin kibbe and the crispy spicy potatoes. They really know how to do crispy potatoes! The mezze are generous with a spectrum of dishes arriving to your table. The next course would have been the Seafood Paella, but it was not available for some reason, so we continued on to the mains of grilled prawns, and whole roasted fish. You can choose your fresh fish when you walk in the door, so we chose the Red Snapper and the Farideh. Both are served flat roasted with a selection of sauces.
The dessert course was a bit lacking as we were only served one small bowl each of mango and raspberry ice cream, even though the menu read "A selection of Arabic Desserts". Regardless the ice cream was heavy on the fruit and fresh and light.
Overall, Flooka is a calm and relaxing place for a drawn out Arabic style seafood lunch. The service is swift and friendly and the dining room is light and airy. The ala carte menu is vast, which is nice, but the benefit of the set menu is that you are not overwhelmed with all of the choices.
The Best place to eat Fish and Seafood. So delicious so clean and the service is very good.
With a very nice view of the east mangroves.
I love this place, so much relaxing and feel happy while eating such tasty yummy food.
It's very difficult for me to like a restaurant but this one it's really a very good choice.
Note that you it's more oriental Lebanese recipes, so if your a fan of Lebanese food you will love it.
Lovely location by the mangroves. Perfect for a lazy Friday afternoon outdoors while the weather is still nice. The menu is quite creative. We loved the Mama Ghanouj and fish falafel particularly. The naan was more like paratha but still nice. Would like to go there again.
First Of all perfect Ambience for peaceful weekend brunch ...
Delicious Seafood Options
Perfect Selection of Wines to compliment the menu
Friendly staff
Reservation recommended
Exceptional sea food specialty restaurant with some innovative dishes. The restaurant is located at the eastern mangroves promenade with great settings. Service is very good. Prices are more on the high level
▪Greetings 1/5
▪Menu, Ordering & Service Duration: 2.5/5
A good variety of sea food dishes.
▪Food quality & presentation: 3/5
Good food. I loved their prawns wrapped in osmaleya pastry and their Brougoul Aryedes dish. So yummy and innovative.
▪Billing & Escording: 2/5
70 aed for a small amount of brougoul and pieces of frozen prawns is really over priced.
▪All in All: 3.5/5
My family and I decided to go to Flooka for my brothers birthday. To start off with the place, it's clean and its interior design is very beautiful especially their chandelier which was fishes swimming. The staff were very kind and helpful. Now we talk food! I tried the moules mariniere, salmon dish, hummus and fatoush, they all deserve 5.0! And their fresh bread is to die for! We also ordered the Icecream selection, it was the best.
Decided to have lunch here one day and we were not sorry. The food was amaazimggg. We went all out on our orders. The spicy potatoes were so good that i wouldnt share them with the rest of the table. The saayiadiya was amazing as well. Staff is very friendly and hospitable.
Wonderful place with friendly staff specialty menu of sea food like fish shawarma with homoos crab carakrt laboster🐊 preferred for sea food lovers 👌😘
Floods has always had a great rep- the place is a landmark for Arabic style seafood. I must say that it was but bad at all but the mussels were definitely the best surprise. With all the places you can get moules this place has even the Belgian Cafe in their freshness and flavour! Very impressive.
I & my wife went and tried Saturday branch at Flooka, the branch is not a buffet style however it's a set menu to be served.
Personally I prefer this style than to have buffet.
Food presentation was nice and the food quantity is much as well, because we felt full from the hot & cold appetizer...
Thé location of thé restaurant is perfect for a date . I went to thé restaurant With my wife and she loved thé décor and hospitality of Flooka.
The service was impeccable and were very comforting .
One of the best hummus in town and the grilled prawns were simply amazing kudos to the chef . I loved the Sheesha too .
Would be back soon .
Visited the place few times already. Ambience and atmosphere is probably the best in town for outside seating. Service is very good and they do serve shisha and alcohol. Food is generally very good but they need to work harder on the appetiser part as the variety is nice but taste is average.
Abit over priced, but recommended as a nice and enjoyable sea food restaurant.
Note: avoid Saturdays if you want peace and quite, as they have a live band every sat
Im not a big fan of seafood but i have to admit that this place has really good food ! Everything was good ! Appetizers are excellent especially the fried mini sardines! Must try specially now while the weather is still nice to enjoy the outdoor terrace and shisha.
Amazing outdoor seating esp in this great weather making u so relaxed ... The waiters were attentive to some point the food was good snd there were a small section with coloring and face painting for kids to enjoy... The fish as well as the appetizers were good. The hot bread they served was also very yummy. Nice place to enjoy moment of peace while eating.
I loved the fish , apitizers could be better . The view is amazing . Staff are welcoming and friendly. Everything else was very good . Recommend for sea food fans .
Eastern mangrove is a very good place for families, kids can have fun by the sea and lots of activities can be done such as the doughnut boats which gave our trip a nice added sparkle. Flooka serves fresh fish and their menu variety is very generous. The mezze is pretty much lebanese from fatouche which is amazing to homos. And it is one of few restaurants in mangrove that also serves alcohol which is a must with fish :)
Been there a couple of times but yesterdays dinner was really great everything was absolutely spot on, you know a good lebo restaurant when the hommos and taboule are great☺ the service was also super friendly.
We went to Flooka Thursday evening. I ordered the Fish and Chips. Really good. Great service, amazing outdoor setting. Service was really good. The other people ordered Fillet of the day, everyone said their food was really tasty. I also gave a Flooka voucher to my friend the next day. The also went there and loved the place. Would definitely go there again.
Awesome joint..awesome service..awesome breads and olives are to die for..The food even though it's very limited and mostly arabic..its very subtle n ingredients are as fresh things can get..do definitely have the fish..The way u like..perfect service
Being a sea food lover,wanted to try this restaurant since it opened here in Anantara.On the recommendations of my friend went there on a Wednesday evening.They have an excellent outdoor seating area facing the lake,the weather was good hence we sat there.We only had the mezzes(starters) with some beers(Peroni),the mezzes were enough to fill us up,We were 5 and ordered Bizri(small fish),kibbe samak,croquettes,makanek samak,fish taouk,fish shawarma,fish felafel and sojouk samak with some hommous,tabouleh and batata harra.They only serve sea food in different varieties.The food was excellent and honestly never thought fish could be cooked in such different varieties.The service was excellent and the bread basket also was never empty.Highly recommended.
We have been thrice to this place and all the times, they have been consistent with service and food. The ambiance is great with mangroves view. They have good vegetarian options for Mezze to emphasize. There are various options in non vegetarian starters that are must try that includes fish sausages, fish shawarma, Hummus, Prawns. They serve naan just out of tandoor along with the food, just perfect.
The pricing is competitive and this place is definitely good visit. Try out Fridays, its bit different with few activity that will keep kids busy.
Outdoor seating is gorgeous. The food taste and quality is more than excellent. The place is very romantic and quiet. The place is ok for families and staff is very freindly
مكان رائع و هادئ انصح بالتجربة 😍😍
هادئ وجميل، أخطأت باختيار سمك السلطان ابراهيم كثير الحسك بناءا على نصيحة غير موفقة، ولم استمتع به.
ربما في زيارة اخرى احظى بنصيحة أفضل.
