You hardly get such places in Dubai,mostly because they are hardly spoken of,because most people don't know about them. Well,I'm a foodie and as such,a very picky one.I love sea food,but it's mostly very costly in the few places I know of. Since 2015,my close friend Rachel brought this place up in a conversation we were having and I finally had the chance in March 2016 to have my experience. Saturday evening,after strolling on the beach and watching the sunset to usher in a new night,my hunger pangs couldn't be contained especially because we had finally managed to locate this hidden gem. Located next to Fisherman's accommodation on the Jumeirah beach (very close to the Jumeirah public beach),it's a very simple restaurant with inside and outside seating. Sitting outside is ideal in the evenings since the daytime heat and humidity are slightly unbearable. We queued to place our order,which consisted sea food (the main meal served there),all raw and fresh.Ours was choice Hamour fish and about 500gms of fresh prawns,all these cost a paltry Dhs 125 ($34.20) and we waited for 30 minutes,which is the standard waiting time as mentioned on a sign board outside the premise. The meal is served with an option of white rice or paratha and veggie salads.

    Arab style grilled fish shop, the grilled fish inside is pre-cured, I pick it at the door, the size is a price, I choose the fresher grilled fish, taste good, with rice.

    Do you want to go to a hotel as if you were just at home? Then you should go to the Bu Qtair hotel near Kite Beach on Jumeirah Road. They offer fresh shrimp and fish and offer Arabic bread together or you can order rice with only AED 10. Drinks and water need AED 1. Waiting for the location takes15-30 minutes but it is totally worth it. Awesome.

    Away from the direction of the sailing hotel, slowly walk along the beach and you will see it. First choose the size of the fish according to the number of people, only fish and shrimp, taste good, smell like. The side dishes can choose rice or cakes, they are called bread, very similar to Chinese hand-cooked cakes.

    If you are looking for an authentic cultural food expereince look no further. Bu Qtair is a true hidden gem in the backstreets of Jumeirah next to a mini dhow graveyard/service area. The kitchen itself is actually set up in a porta-cabin with only 2 mains served a day. The catch of the day + Shrimp , loads of it! Extremely affordable and doused in a delicious spicy sauce and eaten with freshly cooked paratha, i strongly recommend you go here! - wouldnt be complete without Kadak tea so order that too! Get there before 8pm so you can grab a seat and before the paratha runs out! Structure 1- Go inside portacabin 2-Order and Pay 3- Wait on the right hand side of the portacabin till you hear your name being called out 4- get seated on plastic table and chairs 5- Dig in!

    It was some time now since I last visited this place so on this trip to Dubai I decided to re visit this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised as they had moved to a large brand new building just on the opposite side. It now has a huge hall for inside sitting and a huge courtyard space for outside sitting just in front of the small beach. Most important nice clean toilets. I had to wait more than one hour before I got my chance to be served. The crowd was double then normal but most important the pricing and the food remained the same. The prawns and fish are just out of this world and so is the fish curry that you can have with hot KERALA parathas . Steamed rise is the only addition to the menu. If you love fish and prawns you must visit this place. I just love to go back !
