Great Food, awesome ambience and good service. The Crab Chilli and Fish Curry should be tried for any first timers visiting De Fish.
Best sea food in town...
Delicious food....
Nice Ambiance....
Must visit hotel across U.A.E
Awsome.....no words to say...super yummy and njoyed....
Seafood meals are good at this restaurant. We have options to select the fish and can ask them to fry it for us. Their poothichore was average. Very crowded on holidays.
Highly recommended for South Indian fish preparations. Gets very busy on the weekends. One should book a table before visiting.
In case you were not satisfied with all the onam sadhya pics on insta, here's one with a twist.... seafood sadhya!⠀
⠀
DeFish in Karama typically has excellent and fresh seafood dishes originating from the Malabar coastline. Their onam sadhya combined traditional veg recipes with a seafood twist that really hits the spot. It even looked like a veg dish until you actually take a bite and realize it's fish 😊⠀
⠀
Their coconut milk fish curry was awesome with the other sadhya dishes but the fried chilli prawns was the star of the meal. They are coated in a spicy medley of masala and deep fried to perfection, you can't help but to reach for more! ⠀
⠀
⠀
Highly recommended for seafood lovers!❤⠀

We ordered 21 sadhyas for today. On behalf of us all – thank you for making our evening such an enjoyable one!
Your hard work and consideration were very much appreciated. Really the food was yummy.. we enjoyed it. Please follow this same quality of food to get more customers.
A must go to place if you are a sea food lover. The fish meals is off the hook you’ll love it
Amazing sea food..
Fish curry tasted superb
Amazing masala prawns
.
And the best juice - Jackfruit tasted like mango bite 😍

There is no dearth of restaurants serving Malabar cuisine in Dubai, especially in Karama. So when I visited @defishrestaurant and found a (socially distanced) crowd waiting for a table on a Saturday afternoon, I was looking forward to the meal even more.
The staff welcomes everyone with a complimentary shot of ginger and lemon juice, masala lassi (buttermilk) and the traditional Karingali Vellam which is pink coloured warm water drink infused with herbs and barks that have Ayurvedic properties. These drinks are served unlimited throughout your meal.
I tried the following dishes -
Fried Chili Prawns - that were slathered with traditional Malabar spices and lip-smackingly good. Must order whenever you go.
Butter Garlic Prawns - were my least favourite dish because the garlic and cream sauce didn't work for me.
Pan-fried Sea Bream - chosen fresh from their days catch and it was delivered to our table perfectly pan-fried with delicious spices that had a flavour of Jeera/Caraway seeds.
Fish Curry - cooked in coconut and traditional Malabar spices with a smokey flavour that went beautifully with the Malabar Parotta. I would go back just to have this.
Jackfruit juice - was refreshing and had a unique taste akin to a mango and pineapple mix. Ask for it without sugar because the fruit is sweet as it is.
I am not a fan of seafood or very spicy food and yet I really enjoyed my meal at @defishrestaurant because they were able to tone down the spice levels without compromising on flavours and the seafood itself was fresh and tasty. The staff is friendly and very prompt with their service. I would definitely recommend @defishrestaurant for great tasting Malabar/Kerela cuisine.
My third visit to DeFish, and this time with my dad. We went ahead as we craved for some good Keralite food and this was the closest to my house.
We started off with a Crab Corn Soup, Spicy Seafood Soup, and my favorite starter, Fish Tikka. The soups were delicious, especially the Spicy Soup as it had a good level of spice and tanginess to it. The fish tikka as always was well cooked, full of spicy flavor, with a side of chutney.
For main course, we had Kerala Parotta with Fish Curry and Jeera Rice.
We did not have any desserts but did have a fresh glass of orange juice.
Social distancing was maintained and we were served in disposable cutlery and plates. The service was excellent and the head chef was checking on all tables. The servers explained each dish as they served, which was quite good.
@defishrestaurant is best known for its traditional way of serving food and taste that carries authentic value. The best part is they have fresh seafood you can choose from and decide what type of dish you prefer. I tried their best seller Sea Bream Tawa fry and it was very delicious and tasty. Enjoyed the grilled lobster and spicy mussels too!
Upon arrival the staff offers a welcome drink, warm zeera water and a terra-cotta pot of buttermilk, which was the best I’ve tasted so far and unlike the traditional buttermilk.
It was my first time being served on a banana leaf instead of a plate. I had ordered samudhra sadhaya which comes with unlimited papadum, 3 varieties of pickle, 4 sides, 4 curries and a choice of fish from the 2 types available free of charge. You can select a different one for which additional charges apply.
After your meal, a small cup of Kheeran is served.
If you want to experience eating on a banana leaf, you should visit this restaurant.
During the current pandemic, this was the only restaurant I have witnessed that had a long queue of people waiting their turn to get a table.
If you’re fond of Sri Lankan food, you will enjoy the dishes offered here. Though they’re less spicier than Sri Lankan cuisine
The place is awesome and best know for its traditions good quality and taste carries authentic value. The best part is they have fresh fish served.. Price is feasible.
The variety of dishes are excellent...you will have buttermilk on your table with different spices. Staff are polite and always at your disposal. They will serve you hot water, a welcome drink. Then normally they serve on banana leaf which adds on the traditional desi vibes There is always light music going on. Overall the experience was amazing and I would recommend people to visit this place.
We have been going to this place every month now. The sherry fish fry with green pepper marination is really mouth watering alongwith shrimp fry or tiger prawns. The tawa fry fish preparation tastes good alongwith porotta and gravy.
Used to order lunch here. Value meal with lot of sides. Tasty as well. Worth a price. And you can have an awesome ginger tea.
De Fish is a very unique restaurant located in-between the busy streets of Karama. Even though this place serves a lot of Seafood items, the place does not have fish odor. Restaurant is very clean and you get an exceptional service from the staff. We had stir fried Mussels, prawns, Fish tikka and a South Indian Style Cuttlefish (thick gravy) with hoppers. The food awakens your tastebuds and delightful...A place that all sea food lovers should explore...
This is the perfect place for seafood lovers especially with spicy flavours...
Samudra sadya was amazing and pricing was reasonable. Dishes were delicious...a must try place...would love to visit again.
In one word we can tell Sea food paradise
They have extensive menu ( which is little bit over pricy)
And great taste.. thanks to their management for establishing this idea in karama
Cheers
De Fish is a South Indian based seafood restaurant with a ton of choices. There's so much to choose from that a good meal out is guaranteed!
De Fish is THE place for fish lovers! Especially if u love the Kerala traditional masala fried / grilled style. The chef Mr Sarasan, worked his magic and took us back to Kerala with his amazing hospitality and cooking. Our host was Rakesh who explained the various types of meals and showed us the fresh catch of the day. We picked the Samudra Sadya along with the signature Avoli Tawa fry special which was sooo yummy and delicious. We were mind blown. 5 stars for their hospitality and food quality.

De Fish is in a prominent corner of Karama and a very busy place for all sea food lovers. No doubt the people visiting here look happy. They serve fresh sea food that you can select from their display, choose the red or green marination and they cook it for you the way you want.
Dragon Fish is an excellent starter chinese style. The fish with vegetables was excellent in taste. Fish Tikka cooked on their Tandoor was extremely soft and succulent. We could not believe that Fish made on Tandoor can be made so soft. The marination is A grade compliments to the chef. Hamour Tawa Fry, we selected a full Hamoor and we selected the green marination. We also requested for not to fry too much time. The Chef made it exactly the way we wanted. Excellent taste and marination. The fish was also very fresh catch.
Fish Polichathu Sea Bream. This is a traditional fish delicacy of Kerala made in a fish masala wrapped in a bannana leaf and cooked in steam. The marination used is excellent and the fresh fish was very tasty. The aroma of the masala and Bananna leaf is very heavenly.
Prawns Masala in main course is another great delicacy of De Fish. This is their signature dish. We had it with Kallappam which is a traditional Dosa type appam. The Kallappam was also tasting excellent. Do not miss this one if you visit the place. Wheat Paratha was also very nice to have with the main course.
Why you stopped delivering to Business Bay. This was my favorite restaurant but now I cant eat from here 😥
I usually visit there to eat fish curry meals which are good price and tasty. Also the fish fry u can choose with meals. Sardine dry fry is amazing. Biryani is great also. Worth the price
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
A superb value for money, but stylish restaurant with great feels of atmosphere.
I went there without any expectations and very suitably experienced excellent service and very high quality food.
They had nice seating arrangements with low light ambience suitable for friendly party mood. A garden style outdoor seating areas is also well serviced.
Wonderful catchy music wafted through the beautiful
setup created a lovely enduring experience.
Service extremely polite and with lot of humility. Appreciate that.
The interior was also nicely designed within budget, to look similar to a seaside joint. Including fauz ceilings and anchors and all. Fresh fish is also available for you to choose and cook as per your wish.
●After seating, you get a welocme drink with some fruit juice- very invigorating. After that another complementary chaat type plate - with moong dal and others. Wonderful. Never expected this courtesy.
The glasses and bottles with their colours are very hypnotic and marine oriented.
■My orders-
1. ●Fish casanova. 42 dhs. It's a compact whole meal in itself. With veggies and creamy rice and fish-prepared in a creamy chunks. 5/5. Not only the fish, but the veggies- broccoli, cauliflowers, carrots were also great here with buttery taste. Also some french fries. Together it's very filling.
2. ●Fish kababs. 24 dhs. Excellent. I made a mistake in ordering two similar items. But still I finished this shik kababs of fish fillets. It came with three lascivious sauces- each one better than the other. Perfectly matches with the kababs and substantiates the taste.
3. Lemon mint drink. 11 dhs. Very tasty. Presented nicely.
● Finally finishing off with a nice cuppa suleimani tea, a local tradition. How can you beat all of this in this price point??
Absloute fantastic gourmet fun I had. Though it was late at night.
I will wholeheartedly recommend this gem among the multitude of eating options of Karama. They are truly good.
I have been ordering and eating from De Fish for few months now. I was heartbroken when they closed shop during initial lockdown but since they reopened I have been ordering from there weekly. Love the homely Kerala style meals.
The food here indeed is very good..You will surely be satisfied if you are a fish lover :).
Had ordered through zomato the "Samudra Sadhya" which was priced at AED 19.50 & after discount AED 17.55..Then something strange struck me when I saw their take away menu with the same dish priced at AED 15.75..
Guess should have ordered directly from the restaurant !!
Omg the food here is amazing!!! I've ordered many times, my whole family loves the food from here. Everything that I've tried so far hasn't disappointed me one bit. I've been there once with my mum and we left the restaurant like 2 very happy kids.. thank you for the delicious food!
Delicious food.... Tawa fry wonderful... Every one should try it... Good service... Your weekend should be with de fishhh... It's rocks...
Delicious food
Good service
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really awesome seafoods! Perfect preparation! Also good atmosphere
Authentic kerala seafood with amazing taste
And pocket friendly at the same.
Highly recommended DE FISH🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Tasty food with homely service.
Definitely will visit again
Thanks for the awesome service, rajesh &team
Fish shappu curry this curry is. Very different and it one of the best curry to have in non vegetarian and so I had that and the quantity of the curry too is awesome. I enjoyed having this curry very much. My brother took me here when. I had went Dubai to meet him
Excellent hospitality by shafi & team besides the wonderful food keep it up
One of the best sea food restaurant in Dubai. They provide lip smacking fish curry meals for an affordable price. I am very addicted to that.
Food is very yummy specially Squid roast and Fish fry green masala.....I suggest to try different dishes than meals...they really have some great varieties 😋
Authentic spicy fish food. Paid parking is available. I would recommend their fish curry with tapioca and weekend lunch(fish curry meals)
If you are a fish lover and want a relaxed atmosphere with good service head there. If you are a chicken or meat eater or a veggie sorry, look elsewhere
Good customer service mistakenly they changed the order while delivering and after I informed they placed my order with no charge.
Cheat
After food I went counter to pay bill it was around 26.5 I gave 500 he returns remaining amount in middle he gave me 100 aed cut note it's totally in two piece it was taped I went from there to grocery I saw I went back and exchanged he didn't see my face then these type of cheating with customers I hope I never go there anymore please check camera and teach him owners are doing there best to grow business and some people are like this time around 11.30-12.10
Good restaurant with variety of fish items.
We been here on yesterday. This is the third time we been here. Yesterday we had Fish Tikka , Kallappam & Fish Molly. All the items are really good. Our favorite item from De Fish is Tawa fry. I will surely recommend my friends those who loves to have seafood.
Had been here many times. One of the best place for seafood. There are many choices. Good choice of menu. Very nice service.
Good Place to have south indian sea food. Been there last weekend, Food was delicious and quantity wise also good. Had Aavoli pollichath, special curry in prawns with parathas. Avoli pollichath was freshly made, flavour and taste was grand. Prawns curry too tasted different from other type of fish curries and was great.
Staffs were very friendly, Only drawback is the space compared to the crowd there.
I had ordered the fish tikka and fish biriyani. It was amazing ❤️ (good quality fish I must say 👍🏻). The only downside was slow service. Despite that, I would visit the place again 🙌🏻
Was late to arrive and just recently introduced by a friend and fellow sea food lover . I LOVE this place. My eyes were bigger than my tummy !!
Calamari roast - excellent ❤️
Prawn curry - YUM .. had to focus on the calamari and bring the prawn home.❤️
Great portions, genuine people.
Had fish meals here. Food was good with lot of variety. However the fish coconut gravy and fish fry served were not fresh and the marinate too had a stench. Overall it’s good place to eat
We came here to have their fish meals. It was so good with all the curries and other items they served in the meals. It was unlimited and totally worth for the price we paid !
After viewing the reviews for this restaurant, we decided to order dinner from here. We tried the chatti fish curry and kal dosas. An absolutely delicious combination. The fish curry had a fantastic aroma and flavour and the kal dosas were thicker than usual, which could be deceiving, but only when you dig in you’ll realise how good it tastes. Would like to visit their restaurant soon.
Very good restaurant offering tasty, quality sea food cuisine. You can choose your preferred fish from the live counter and can get it cooked at your taste. Also in offer variety of traditional kerala food at affordable price.
Each and everything about this place is top notch when it comes to their food ordered for their Friday meal which was served in banana leaves it was delicious loved their seafood option as well
Visited this place for dinner and tried their De fish special fish cookies, Butter garlic prawns , chilli garlic noodles, Thalasery fish biryani , Kallappam, De Fish Meen manga salad. I must say the food here is amazing and pocket friendly too. This restraunt is a must try. Not forgetting the fish pickle they serve here we landed up buying a jar of the pickle which they sell separately...
Amazing sea food, good ambience - can choose to sit outside or in. Service is good and the fish is always fresh!!! Prices are totally worth it.

You can add fry fish to your thali, starting from 5 Dhs one piece for fried piece to max 15 Dhs for 4 piece of mussels fry. They do have choice of fry fish.
If you are in or around Karama then must try this place.
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) أحد أفضل المطاعم حول الكرامة. أذواق جنوب الهند الحقيقية. جودة الطعام جيدة جدا. أهم شيء هو خدمة العملاء. لم أر قط هذا النوع من خدمات العملاء إلى حد كبير. عندما نحتاج إلى شيء سيأتون ويسألون. كما أن الكمية جيدة بشكل عام ونوعية الطعام والخدمة الجيدة جدًا. التكلفة أيضًا أقل مقارنةً بالمطاعم الأخرى ، شكرًا جزيلاً على الخدمة الرائعة

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) وجبات المأكولات البحرية أو samudra Sadya كانت جيدة. كان للأسماك الجودة. لقد طلبنا أيضًا كاري سمك حار ، لكن مسحوق الفلفل احترق وهو ما أبلغنا به الموظفين الذين وافقوا على العناية به. بخلاف هذه تجربة رائعة

Sea food meals or samudra sadya was good. The fish had quality. We also ordered a spicy fish curry, but the chilly powder was burnt which we had informed the staff which they duly agreed to take care. Other than this a great experience

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) مكان لطيف بالفعل لمحبي المأكولات البحرية. الخيارات موجودة ، الأسعار معقولة جدًا والخدمة جيدة. الجو متوسط. لديهم دلو السمك الذي هو عبارة عن مكب للمأكولات البحرية المقشرة بشكل أساسي ... سرطان البحر ، الجمبري ، البطلينوس. كانت عروضهم الخاصة لليوم وزريعة الجمبري رائعة. من المحتمل أن يكون قليلاً على الجانب الحار بالنسبة للكثيرين. اللقطة الصغيرة لنوع من عصير الليمون لديهم في البداية والقرفة التي قدموها في النهاية كانت لذيذة أيضًا.

A really nice place for seafood lovers. The options are there, the prices are very reasonable and the service is good. The ambience is about average. They've got the fish bucket that is a dump of primarily shelled seafood ... crab, prawn, clams. Their specials of the day and the prawn fry was great. Likely to be a bit on the spicier side for many. The small shot of some kind of lemon juice they have at the beginning and the cinnamon yes they gave at the end was tasty too.
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) ذهبت لأول مرة لتجربة دلو المأكولات البحرية. تجربة فريدة من نوعها للغاية ، أردت الحصول على هذا الدلو منذ وقت طويل جدًا. النكهات لا بأس بها ، الأرز كان بسمتي ، يجب أن يكون صغير الحبة أو الأرز اللزج. لقد أخذنا أيضًا نفرد الباروثا معها وكان لطيفًا للغاية ولينًا. أنا متأكد من أن الأطباق الأخرى ستكون جيدة للغاية. يجب أن نقول أن الأجواء جميلة ، المشاعر لائقة ومثيرة للغاية. عموما حظيت بوقت جيد.

Went for the 1st time to try seafood bucket. Very unique experience, wanted to have this bucket from very long time. The flavors are ok, rice was basmati, should be small grain or sticky rice. We also took to pare parothas with it and it was very nice and soft. Iam sure the other dishes will be extra good. Should say the ambience is beautiiiiiiful, the vibes are very decent and exciting. Overall had good time.
