Al Mashowa, Al Safa

If you haven’t yet tasted traditional Emirati cuisine, you’re seriously missing out.

Remedy this by taking a seat at Al Mashowa City Walk, a seafood restaurant serving fresh, local ingredients and spices in Emirati seafood recipes passed down through generations to give you the most authentic local flavours, which will take local Emiratis back in time.

Break some delicious old-fashioned khameer (Emirati bread) together with friends or family, and tuck in to Al Mashowa’s delicious offerings. To start, there’s the fish soup or hobool (fried fish roe) as well as the Al Mashowa seafood salad, among many others. For mains, you can’t go wrong with prawns or their mixed seafood grill. There’s also the Emirati version of prawn biryani, Rubyan Tahta, which is hearty and delicious. Spiced rice, chickpeas and broad beans are some of the traditional Emirati sides served.

Finish off with lgeimat, doughy balls of deliciousness smothered in date syrup, pumpkin pudding or a spicy cup of Gahwa, Arabic coffee.

Trust us, this is one seafood restaurant you’ll come back to, time and again. And the friendly staff will always make you feel very welcome.
