NoteDubai's fisherman's basket — fresh from the sea to your table, every single day.

A Legacy of Excellence Since 2008
For over sixteen years, Sallet al Sayad has been the seafood institution of Al Karama. The name says it all: the fisherman's basket, full of the morning's best catch. We built our reputation on one simple rule — if it wasn't in the sea this week, it isn't on your plate today.
Our fish are displayed whole on ice at the entrance, priced by the kilo as the market moves. You choose your fish; our kitchen grills, fries, or steams it to order, served with sayadeya rice, tangy tarator, and warm Arabic bread. No shortcuts, no freezers for the fish that matters.
The kitchen is rooted in the coastal cooking of the Gulf and the Levant — rich seafood soups finished with turmeric and cream, sayadeya rice fragrant with caramelised onion and cumin, mezze that open the table before the main event arrives.
يسعدنا أن نستقبلكم — We are delighted to welcome you.

Sayadeya — the fisherman's rice
Caramelised onion, cumin, and the sweetness of the sea folded into long-grain rice. The dish that made Emirati coastal cooking famous, served the way it was meant to be.
Sixteen years in Al Karama
Since 2008, the neighbourhood's table for fresh seafood. 16,216 Google reviews at 4.9 stars — not because of a marketing budget, but because the fish is always fresh.
