Nothing fancy but the freshest of fish, kindest service by Younus, and consistency over the years. Outdoor seating only, simple surroundings but you’re here for very tasty prawns and fish. Their paratha is super crispy and fish curry pretty decent as well. Very well priced too…

Absolutely loved Hot Fish Restaurant! The combos were fantastic, the blueberry coconut juice was unbelievably good, and the fish curry was next-level delicious. Will definitely be going back!

Simplicity at its best - I had a great meal here! The rassam was outstanding and the curry brought back memories. No fancy gimmicks, just pure, comforting, delicious food. Loved it here and can’t recommend it enough.

I’m glad we found a restaurant near us that offers the same flavors as the one we used to visit. Since we moved farther away, we really missed that taste , good thing there’s a similar spot here in Karama. The service is amazing, and the food is absolutely awesome! It’s especially nice to dine here during winter since it’s an outdoor place.

I recently visited this restaurant after hearing a lot of mixed opinions, so I wanted to try it myself. Overall, my experience was fairly average. The ambiance is nice and the place is kept clean, which creates a pleasant first impression. The seating arrangement is comfortable, and the lighting gives a cozy feel. The staff were polite, but the service was a bit slow. It took quite some time for our order to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn’t very crowded at the moment. As for the food, it was decent but nothing extraordinary. I ordered a couple of their recommended dishes, and while the flavors were good, they weren’t as impressive as I expected. Portions were reasonable, but considering the price, I felt they could have been slightly more generous. The presentation, however, was appealing and showed attention to detail. One thing I appreciated was that the staff checked on us a few times to make sure everything was okay, which is always a positive sign. The washrooms were clean as well, which adds to the overall dining experience. In summary, it’s a decent place to dine if you’re in the area and want to try something new, but I wouldn’t say it’s a must-visit spot. With some improvements in service speed and more consistency in the food quality, it definitely has the potential to be much better. I might return again in the future to see if things improve.

Yoonus was of great service and extremely hospitable. Jalal was very attentive and accommodating to our needs having an 8 year old who didn’t want spicy food. Thank you

I’ve been looking forward to trying indian fry cuisine for a while now, and was so glad that I did! The food was so delicious and the service was really great, too thanks to Jalal and his team.

It was our first time eating here, and we will definitely come back. The food is awesome, freshly cooked and delicious. All the staffs are friendly. We will surely recommend this to our friends. You can try it too. To Mr. Jalal and other staffs, keep up the good work guys.
