Ambience 4/5
Service 4/5
Food 4/5

Their grilled hammor with spices is very delicious and you can feel the barbeque flavor. The dynamite shrimps were also good, but could be better if they put less mayonnaise. The Arabic bread was OK. The fresh juice of lemon ginger was fine but can taste better if they add little sugar in that.

Overall a nice place for seafood lovers

This place is a must visit if a person love fish
I have been here every time when ever come to Dubai
Their Grilled Hamour is excellent it’s a 5/5 specially the Red tomato paste on top is like a finger licking
Also their Mix Grill Platter is really nice
the Ice on top is the Red and the White pickle they serve .. really suits well when u order Fries and u dip in the spicy tangy red sauce

This our second time eating here. My husband and I really like the Singary red snapper. Today he tried the fried sibas. We started with the appetizers that they provided...pickles,olives,bread,cucumbers,tomatoes and carrots. Then moved on to lentil soup for me and mushroom soup for him. We added yellow rice to compliment the fish. It was very tasty and satisfying. I even had fish left over for take away. We’ll be back.

I went there for many many times. I usually order fried lady fish fried sultan and calamari. Hummus and egg plant... i love eating at this restaurant as long as i ask the chef to prepare it the way i like it.
As a standard, fried fish is dipped in a mixture of spices and flour before frying. Also, fish bigger than lady fish are fried after they cut slightly the skin then it is cooked in very hot oil. This leaves a burned taste of oil on a crunchy dried fish skin.
Ask the waiter to prepare the fish with only flour salt and pepper, nothing more as you might not like their spices mixture at all. Also ask him bot to cut the skin. You can then enjoy the best taste.
Calamari is perfect.
The restaurant is average, particularly washrooms.
Overall it is a good restaurant with an excellent food.

The only negativity about this place is that it is a little bit expensive, everything else is just perfect. The food was amazing, the staff are excellent and cooperative.

We went with friends last Friday on the sea. We decided to eat the fish we went to. The restaurant bu tafish was good. The restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in the city.

Went for the first time to Bu Tafish and was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable welcoming ambiance. The hummous w lamb and pine nuts was a tasty appetiser to start off with as the two of us waited for the spicy grilled humour and the prawn tajein.
Great flavourful food, ample garlic chutney and warm bread. Perfect end to a peaceful Friday.

Bu Tafish is a seafood restaurant with a heavy Arabian influence. It’s located in one of Dubai’s most prime locations, just beside the grand mosque on Jumeirah Road, next door to The One. The interior is a total contrast to other Arabian seafood restaurants and looks more like an American diner. That said, it's unmistakably a seafood restaurant with oceanic/nautical references everywhere. There’s a big ice bed at the entrance of the restaurant where an assortment of seafood is on display for you to choose from. The whole thing is really well done, far better than I expected.

I gave them 4 stars because when it comes to the seafood, only few restaurants know the secret. Food is not bad at all, good taste, but place should be redecorated. Nice staff are polite and responsive, location is great, easy parking.

Bu Tafish doesn't just tug at your taste buds, it also tugs at your heartstrings. This seemingly average seafood eatery comes with a fascinating history - it was one of the first seafood diners launched in the UAE. From a humble shack on the beach to a chic restaurant in Jumeirah, it's come a long way. The interiors smell like traditional seafood cooking, flooding your lungs with the perfume of coastal nostalgia. The bread tastes like a baked cloud and is accompanied by a hot sauce with major personality. With gentle beams of sunlight trickling in through the blinds and hearty seafood fare, it's the perfect place to nurse a hangover.

Every visit to Abu Tafish is a blast from the past. This place was a boat restaurant at first , every family friend gathering was there. The seafood is just exquisite and no photo can do their food justice.
Um Kalthoum and Fairouz will ringing endlessly through your lunch/dinner but you'll totally be grateful afterwards.

it was a very good experience, we tried the fried shrimps, fried and grilled fish all of them were really good.
one point need to be enhance is the service speed as it was taking them long time to get us any order. but other than that the restaurant is recommended.
Most importantly that for the 3rd time in row they said they dont have eny dicounts for emirates NBD card holder unlike what is mentioned here on Zomato that they will get 20% discount!!

One of the oldest and best kept secrets, born right here in UAE. This is a arabic style restaurant so the flavouring can be off-putting to few people. The food is good, fairly priced and the service staff is very courteous..

One of, if not the, best arabic seafood restaurants in Dubai. Beats barracuda hands down. Singary and oil and lemon styles of all fish are both great. Tried sea bass, sea bream, prawns, lentil and seafood soups, all were very good. If only they could add hot fresh bread to go with one of the best hommous in Dubai, rather than packaged shawarma bread, then the place would be perfect.

First impressions were good, the restaurant is immaculately clean but a bit weirdly decorated, part 50′s diner, part seafood themed. We were the first guests of the day and the waiter wasted no time showing us to our table and presenting us with a huge menu. I love seafood menu's (I kept mine), so it took me a while to decide what to order.

The menu is comprehensive and offers something for everyone, if you don't like seafood there are grill options. With over 20 cold appetizers alone we were spoilt for choice but it was one of dishes from the hot appetizers that caught our eye. The chicken liver with molasses pomegranate, we teamed it up with the potato with coriander. The chicken liver was outstanding, if you enjoy that kind of thing then I can't recommend it enough. The appetizers were served with the traditional bowl of salad vegetables, bread and pickles. Bread from modern bakery served in plastic bags, they claim to keep it fresh? mmm, I am not so sure about that.

For the main course I opted for the lemon and oil style of cooking and chose the sea bream, sadly Bu Tafish are still serving hamour on their menu. More information can be found about over fishing in the region via the Choose Wisely link, there are alternatives. The fish was outstanding, I have to say and grilled to perfection, the accompanying lemon/oil and slightly spicy sauce with paper-thin potatoes were delicious. Faultless in my book. My guest opted for the fried calamari, the portion size was huge! big enough to take half of it home for later that day. I tasted the calamari, well cooked, not overly seasoned, just a really tasty dish, though too big!

best traditional sea food place in UAE
An amazing seafood meal @bu_tafish, authentic feel , fresh seafood food cooked in traditional middle eastern recipes. This place has a lot of legacy and heritage that goes back to the 60s where it got the support of sheikh Zayed.

مطعم راقي متخصص في المأكولات البحريه يتميز بموقعه في حي سياحي وهو حي جميره بالقرب من المحال التجاريه و الشاطئ المخصص للاستجمام. مواقف السيارات امام المطعم مما يسهل الوصول له مع انه في شارع رئيسي و حيوي. الاسعار مناسبه للطبقه التي يستهدفه المطعم و يمكن زيارته كافراد او عوائل وايضا ممتاز لعشاء عمل. ليس من المطاعم التي سوف تدمن عليها مع لذه الطعم لكنه من خيارات التجربه لمره واحده او مرتين غالبا. الموظفين ودودين و لديهم تفاني في العمل و اخلاص و سرعه في انجاز الطلب و تحسس طلبات العميل من غير ان يطلب.
