5 Amazing restaurant starting with service all workers here very polite and helpful really appreciated. The food was amazing and the mix platter for 2 or 3 people will be enough, also the taste was great and the food fresh you can know that from the taste, also the place has unique theme simple and friendly. The cola refillable which nice to me :) Parking on the street 1H round 6AED and 2H round 9AED. Direa Always has traffic this is the only thing you need to take care otherwise they will take care of you. You can take a look to the bill for more information.
5 Popoy is amazing! Service with a smile and engage with his customers with enthusiam and sincere demeanor. Very attentive and quick to request with calmness. Truly an asset to your organization. He is very much a potential Branch Manager of your resto. He deserves a recognition!
5 By far the best seafood experience we’ve had! The food was absolutely outstanding, with very generous portions and the taste was awesome! The staff — mostly young, friendly people — were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the music was right up our alley. We’ll definitely be back and will happily recommend this place to others.
5 Safe to say this is the best seafood place I’ve ever eaten at! The ambiance is great, the food is amazing especially the chicken skin & the staff were wonderful. Special thanks to Alwin, Raevin, and Jeff for the great experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
4 It is good but not amazing. Sauce is nice but the actual quality of the seafood is just normal. Expectations should not be too high. It would be amazing if they served beer, and had an option like a pickle element. Drinks were not good, only high sugar syrup drinks. I wouldn't go here if you are far. Only if you are around the area already
5 Had an amazing seafood feast at Dampa Seafood! The food was super fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying, especially the sauces, which were perfectly balanced and not too overpowering. The overall vibe was fun and perfect for sharing a big meal with friends or family. They also celebrated my birthday, which was such a lovely surprise and made the experience even more special. Special thanks to Ian for the excellent service, very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was well taken care of. Definitely coming back again!
5 This is an amazing place for seafood lovers. The service was good, the waiters accommodating to change the table location. The food feels really fresh and tasty. There is an option for unlimited tap soft drinks. Service is very quick even when the restaurant is full and tend to be really full every day from 6 onwards. I was lucky yesterday to reach just before iftar for a shorter queue and good service. Highly recommend and I will call again soon.
4 Here’s a polished, balanced version of your review while keeping it honest and constructive: We ordered the Cajun Spice Seafood Mix. The portion size was quite generous and easily sufficient for three people. Overall, it was good; however, the taste felt a bit on the milder side compared to other seafood restaurants we’ve tried. We also felt that it had a bit too much oil, which may have reduced the overall flavor. Perhaps using less oil would enhance the taste. Next time, we’ll definitely try a different flavor.
The mix platter for 2 or 3 people is popular for its generous portions and fresh taste.
