They have this unique concept. Eating in bucket was quite nice. Staff are really accomodating. I will recommend this place for those people who want to have new dinning experience :)
I'm a seafood lover and i found this place as a treasure. Hahaha! Crab with pepper sauce plus unlimited rice and the super big ice tea. Burppp! Excellent in all parameters. 💕

A good place to eat.
We went there during their unlimited rice promotion and had so much to eat!
An all Kabayan staff was really a plus point for me - felt like home. very friendly service.
The food is decent and priced ok as well.
Fresh seafood
Great selection
Unique experience
You eat rice with hand
Every
I would go there on regular basis to eat using my hands
You just have to choose the sauce with your seafood
Will get a huge juice glass
Endless rice in a plastic bag
Very basic but mouthwatering
Ate here for the second time. Loved the food. The waiters here were very friendly earlier. Unfortunately we got the only one with an attitude. We asked for plates, and he said there were none. However at the end of the meal, we noticed another waiter giving the adjacent table plates ! Other than that, the food is well worth it and delicious!
We intended to eat in this place so we searched for it no matter how far it was. I love their shrimps, it was like the dynamite shrimps from somewhere else, and it tastes good and we were satisfied with that. The calamares was okay, nothing fancy. Their crabs were okay, but some of them smell funny - like urine - maybe they didn't clean their crabs well before cooking. That turned us off. The beverages were huge and 1 jar was more than enough. This was worth a try.

A few of my friends always talk about this restaurant so I had a chance the other day to visit this place. We arrived there just before 12 and the place was completely empty. We sat down and straight away were served with prawn crackers with white vinegar. I had this combination for the first time and enjoyed it.
While having crackers we placed our order of a few different things from the menu including Sushi, Shrimps (prawns), Crabs, Lobsters and Oysters. All these came with a choice of sauce, flavour or coating (whatever you wanna call it) of your choice. We chose most of them with Garlic Butter apart from the Lobster which I asked it to be in Black pepper sauce.
As soon as we placed our order, our HUGE drinks arrived straight away. I had Apple and Cucumber for the first time, which was okay but most of my friends had lemon iced tea which was very nice.
Our Avacado Makki came really quickly, very nicely laid on a black dish sauce and Wasabi. IT was really nice and refreshing.
A little later rest of out food arrived. MY personal favorite out of all of them was Lobster followed by Shrimps, Crabs and then Oysters. Lobster meat was nicely done and so were the shrimps. Crabs had good flavour but not much meat in or on them. But for me Oysters were not that good as they had a bit of smell to them which I didn't enjoy plus there was not much flavour in them apart from a rubbery texture in garlic butter.
Service was decent as we were the only customers from start to finish. Prices are cheap for seafood and food wasn't bad at all.
So all in all a decent place to enjoy seafood with friends and families.
Remember the fondest memories are made when gathered around the table so keep sharing food with your loved ones.
Had our First Time in Karama branch in Andar Gallery and we both love the experience. We were so full since they have this unlimited rice promo. Its affordable and its fun! Plus its so nice to see all kabayans.😂 good job guys!
Small cozy restaurant with nice ambiance and tasty food. After hearing alot about this place and being a seafood lover I finally gave it a try. I ordered the tom yum soup and black pepper crab. The crabs are served the a small bucket along with white rice. The food was so good. The black pepper sauce was perfect. The staff was friendly and my overall experience was amazing.
Tried the mussels , crab and the lobster.
I enjoy eating at this place everytime i go. Friendly staff with funky seating.
Must try the Unlimited coolers, specially the watermelon and cherry.
Glad its opened up right near my place at Ansar Gallery now.
Value for money. Enjoyed the food a lot, but felt a bit uncomfortable as the place is not spacious enough. You'll literally rub elbows with the other guests.
Been to the other branch at karama metro station (in adcb building). Was thinking to give this outlet a try. Worth visiting althou we need to walk a lil far from the supermarket entrance. Take elevator up, straight to the end, elevator down again. Then u will find it in a corner which nobody will notice. Waiting time is only 10mins eventhou its 80%packed with customer.. more spacious than the one in adcb building thou. They maintain the same quality and service here. Thumbs up!
If you want to try a very affordable group tripping of seafoods, you gotta try this place. They have varieties of seafoods that are served in a bucket (which us obvious by its name) and unlimited rice with a big jug of drinks! By the way their alsi offering chicken that's if you cannot tolerate seafood. The place can accommodate maximum of 20-25 pax that's why you have to com there early. It's better to go there in a group of 4 or more so you can choose different kinds and share.
Had a great dinner here with my family. Unlike in Al Attar which is very crowded and busy, here is the exact opposite but still the quality and value are the same. We had the crabs in sweet chili, shrimps in garlic butter, volcano wings, avocado maki, and sweet potato fries for our little one which we all loved! Rice is unlimited and goes with any dish for free. The drinks are in huge jars and the flavor I liked the most is watermelon. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Enjoyed eating at Seafood in a Bucket in Ansar Mall , Karama where you're given plastic gloves , disposable table mats and NO plates 😋 Giving us a chance to get messy and eat seafood the way it should be eaten 👌:D Super affordable and unique, yet another WMFA favorite 😁🍤

I heard about this place through a friend, and I’m glad I did because I don’t think I would have heard about them otherwise considering they don’t advertise much, and their restaurants are not easy to spot. The two branches I’ve been to (the one in Al Attar Centre and the one in Ansar Gallery building), are both inside a building, and unless you know the area really well or get directions beforehand, there is no way you can find them. Even after knowing that they have a branch in Ansar Gallery, we spent a good 20 minutes finding it since it is located in a tiny, hidden corner. However, once you get to the place, there is no complains.
As the name suggests, they serve all sorts on seafood in a bucket. They welcome you with a bucket of rice crackers, which is so crispy and delicious. Their menu is simple - you need to choose your seafood, for example, calamari, shrimp, crab, etc., and then the sauce to be cooked with it. They then give you plastic gloves, and a plastic bag containing plain white rice (which comes free with all orders), along with your seafood, and you are ready to feast!
What I love the most is their calamari with butter garlic sauce – it is the best I’ve had so far! I also tried their crab with chili sauce. It tasted good, but it was difficult to eat because it was the first time I was having a crab which was served with its shell, and all the sauce was gone by the time we managed to get a piece of the meat out. It got a bit annoying and messy. They also have really nice and refreshing drinks served in big mason jars for only AED 7!
I’ve got to say I love the ambiance of the place – they have long benches and wooden tables, which remind me of school for some reason. It is good feeling all around, and the staff is really jolly and energetic.
I would definitely recommend this place to all seafood lovers, who are looking for good quality food with a low price.
This is by far my favourite seafood restaurant in Dubai. Not only the food is mouth watering but the staff is warm and sweet at all times.
The price is affordable, I walk out of the restaurant with a full stomach and I walk up the next morning craving this food. i have tried nearly everything on the menu and my favourites are : Calamari, shrimps and mussel all teriaky or sweet chilli sauce and apple cucumber for drink!
I love this place :)

Great for its novelty factor, before I came here I had no idea that there exists a place in Dubai where 1) you're supposed to eat with your (nearly) bare hands, 2) get served with nearly a liter of drinks at a cheap price 3) have seafood cooked in various ways at a truly affordable price.
Was impressed enough that I returned the next day but by then the novelty had worn thin. There weren't too many options on how the food are cooked , as all are seemed just fried. Still, not to be missed are their calamares, hammour fillet, and salmon head - they're quite lip smacking-ly good!
We liked the food so much didn't even get to take a picture. As the name suggests this restaurant serves seafood in a bucket. They offer unlimited rice for free, drinks are also unlimited and it is possible to have the drink refilled with a different flavor for no extra charge. As for the seafood, they offer crab, shrimp, mussels, and squid. Afterwards they'll let you pick how you'd like it cooked, such as teriyaki, butter garlic, sweet and spicy and etc. Do try their unlimited Tom yum soup too! For only 8AED it's cheap and delicious!
Went here for breakfast and we didn't expect they have breakfast menu (we thought it would always be seafood,mehehe). Their breakfast menu consists of only 4 choices as shown in the photo of menu below, and we ordered Crispy Beef and their Corned Beef, but the Corned Beef wasn't availabe , so we opt for the sausage, plus the menu also lets you choose for unlimited bread (aside from the complimentary bread when we arrived) or unlimited garlic rice. We were their first customers for the day so it is understandable that the waiting time for the food was a bit late. Coffee were served first together with some Pandesal, something to munch on while waiting. When the food arrived , their food plating was nice, the food looked like it was from a gourmet resto and the servings are more than what we expected. We didn't even finish the whole meal. It's worth a try.
Nice casual place, bucket theme well positioned throughout the food buckets, even the lamps.
Staffs were very friendly and helpful choosing food items from menu.
Food is amazing. Loved the Breaded prawns and Tom yum soup. The crackers come in massive bucket, enough for big group.
This place is a very casual place where you can enjoy yummy buckets of seafood, the food is very good and cheap??? plus all the Ate's working are very friendly, they helpee us with our orders by suggesting how many we should order that will be enough for all of us.. So far everytime we have friends visiting Dubai and we always bring them to this place and they love it.
We visited Seafood in a bucket at Al Karama last month..experience was quite interesting. However locating it was a little bit confusing since we are not from Dubai, luckily there is somebody whom we can ask outside the establishment. Parking is difficult to find as well. Going back to the Menu, we ordered their famous lobster, shrimp, calamari, onion rings, corn in cob along with different types of sauces, from mild to spicy ones & ofcourse their overwhelming apple cucumber infused water (that my husband & I shared). The usual Filipino style is they are offering unlimited rice.

I've heard about this place and wanted to try it out, I finally did and I loved it. The food was delicious and the service was quick. I had crabs in garlic butter sauce and calamari with sweet chili sauce wich was exquisite. The apple cucumber juice was light and refreshing. My overall experience was very pleasant.
Fresh.simple.delicious! Seafood heaven.
Have heard about this place for a long time now bt also heard about the long waiting period! This new branch helped me indulge into the goodness of this place! Great ambience, place is pumping with laughter and music. The service was good and so was the bill!!!!!!
A must visit place for all sea food lovers.
We ate: buttergarlic crab, breaded praens in sweetnchilli sauce, mussels in teriyaki sauce, breaded prawns in teriyaki sauce, sweet potato fingers, potato wedges, onions rings and very refresing coolers. Truly droolicious!
