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 dissapointed in this branch. I order completely large calamari crab tender chicken and hamour fried. I told him separate the sauce black peper, garlic butter, teriyaki and Asian bbq, but it come all are mixed. I think you know the disadvantage of mixing a sauce in fried food. After that I request for extra rice but you put gave priority for a beuty full lady. This is not good in business be professional.<br/>Ambiance 3/5 food 3/5 service 2/5

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!

The location of this cute little restau has a really good vibe and entertaining waiters. <br/><br/>Their food thought taste better before when they started the business. But I think as time passes, the flavors are not so much in the food anymore. It's not tasty as before. I hope they regain their old recipe back.

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. <br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>Our Avacado Makki came really quickly, very nicely laid on a black dish sauce and Wasabi. IT was really nice and refreshing.<br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>So all in all a decent place to enjoy seafood with friends and families.<br/>Remember the fondest memories are made when gathered around the table so keep sharing food with your loved ones.

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.

it was our 2nd visit to this restaurant, but unfortunately we had a terrible experience. from the moment we walked in, the ambiance wasn't accomodating, maybe because they were about to close. <br/>we ordered calamari,shrimp and <br/>salmon head. none of those meet our expectation, it was so different from the 1st time we visit. calamari was so terrifically oily and the squid itself was like a RUBBER and i could say it was the horrible food i'ver eaten. in fact its one of favorites. 2ndly is the shrimp, its COLD INSIDE and as a seafood lover i could really say it wasnt that fresh, the shell was almost separating from the meat. the shrimp was like drowning in the sauce, i can't even say its a sauce because it was watery. 3rdly is the fried salmon head, the fact its fried it shouldn't be OVER BATTERED .. i coudn't taste even the fish.. lastly was the staff, they were not approachable even, we asked if we could mix up the garlic butter and sweet chilli sauce for the shrimp, suprisingly what the server answered was tottally disappointing, she said "NO" we were wondering why, at least she could help us in any way. the worst and unacceptable thing was the server who processed our bill, we caught her frawning to us.<br/>as we stood up and about to leave NO ONE ever say THANK YOU... we felt that we were really being IGNORED! from the management of this restaurant as a customer im not asking you a favor to serve me, its your obligation to give a quality food and exceptional service. over all experience is DREADFUL!!

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.

Love the concept, hate the location.<br/><br/>I'm still really confused about how I feel about this place so I'll break it down. This is a concept that would do really, really well next to the beach (like Bu Qtair) ; but clearly being outdoors wouldn't work out in the summers. I also like that there's no plates and cutlery involved just like seafood is generally eaten fresh out of the sea with gloves and paper mats, but I don't know too many people who would like getting that messy at lunch in a restaurant with no Washroom...<br/><br/>We got really excited about the drinks and my friend ordered the Green Apple while I ordered the Watermelon cooler. These are apparently bottomless but we didn't even get to the bottom of the first fill. When I took a sip of the Green apple cooler I noticed an ant, and another and another; and frantically started searching for them in my cooler as well. We complained and got an exchange but that genuinely put us off for the rest of our meal. The green apple wasn't very soda based but my watermelon cooler tasted nothing like watermelon and I honestly believe it was Sprite with red colouring at the bottom. <br/><br/>We further ordered Boiled Prawns with garlic butter, Hammour with sweet chilli and spicy chicken wings. Starting with the prawns, I realized that this meal is going to take a while because of all the effort put in opening the shell and getting rid of the tail one by one, it was undoubtedly delicious. The hammour was the best on the table and the chicken wings were great too. Even though we went a little over the top with out order for 2 people, the total was below 100. I doubt I'll visit again because I got my share of being tensed that i'll find insects throughout my meal.Nalini

Location easy to find.. restaurant set up cute and cosy.. food presented well.. service..questionable.<br/>I have been itching to visit this place for ages now and finally had the chance. We had the cooler drinks (biggest drink ive had in dubai) soda based so kinda disappointing. We had calamari...dynamite prawns and the king lobster. The lobster was small but tasty.. the prawn wasnt bad either...the calamari was disappointing. Whatever it was battered in and the super chewy pieces. Normally I'd be interested to go back try something else, but after the terrible bloating feeling both my friend and I suffered for hours after eating there I wouldnt rush to go again. Also the service was not good. Felt ignored..and was left ages to wait after requesting dessert for takeaway.

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. <br/><br/>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! <br/><br/>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! <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>I would definitely recommend this place to all seafood lovers, who are looking for good quality food with a low price.

Not only the food is mouth watering but the staff is warm and sweet at all times.<br/>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! <br/>I love this place :)<br/>Karima Alid

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.<br/><br/>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.

I've been hearing about this place for a long time now so I decided to pay a visit since I'm craving for seafood. I ordered the shrimp with butter-garlic sauce and the calamari with black-pepper sauce. The waiter advised me to order the apple cucumber cooler so I obliged. The shrimp was ok but i was so dissatisfied with the calamari. It was so dry and rubbery and the sauce was too sweet! I only had about 3 pieces and I stopped eating them. The cooler is way tooo sweet as well.<br/><br/>The service was good, however, I can say this place is overrated.

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. <br/><br/>Food taste : 7 <br/>Location: 5<br/>Food presentation: 8<br/>Price: 9 ( budget friendly)<br/>Cleanliness: 9 <br/>Service : 9<br/> <br/>Recommended to those budget concious but good finds dining experience.

i agree.. its the cheapest and yet one of the delicious seafood restaurant i ever eaten.. but whats the use of a delicious food if the staff is "masungit" and "suplada".. the waitress who took our order is so suplada and she never repeated our order.. the result.. we recieved 2 times mistakes of our order.. we ordered only 1 apple cucumber juice but they gave us 2.. since we are the one who feel shy.. we just take it and pay.. secondly.. instead of giving us prawns in sweet chilli sauce, they gave us in garlic butter sauce.. my sister didnt enjoyed the prawns much as she doesnt want the taste of the garlic.. the waitress/waiter should repeat the order specially the sauces bcoz the seafood will be taste more good if u put the right sauce as the customer required.. well, we didnt tell them to change our food as we feel ashmed that the manager will fire her bcoz of her being suplada..

لهذا السبب أغلقت هذا المكان ومثل هذه النفايات لأن المكان المستأجر كان ضخما والتفكير في جميع الموظفين الذين تم تسريحهم.
كان طعامهم بخير خاصة كالاماري مع صلصة الفلفل ولكن ما يجعلني أعود إلى هذا المكان وهو فرع آخر هو مشروب خيار التفاح ، هذا كل شيء.

It was a nice theme. you order your seafood, they'll serve it in a bucket with the sauce of your choice and unlimited rice. It was original, but it was just a fad and like all fad, it has to end.
That's why this place closed down and such a waste because the place rented was huge and thinking of all the staff that got laid off.
Their food was okay specially the calamari with pepper sauce but what makes me go back to this place and it's other branch is the apple cucumber drink, that's it.
