What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

Grilled salmon Net −1

“The grilled salmon was tasteless with not enough salt at all. Salmon is a easy fish to cook, but they seem to lack the knowledge of cooking a good fish. I got really sad, homemade salmon is way better than what served.”
Grilled supreme Net −1

“The grilled supreme was burned and tasteless, so sad that fish like supreme was cooked in a bad way.”
Jalboot salad Net −1

“The Jalboot salad was really bad, the lettuce used was old & dull, no tomatoes and the dressing was lame.”
Mix bowl of seafood Net −1

“We paid 400 something AED which I consider a lot for what we get, we didn’t liked the white sauce at all which comes with the mix bowl of seafood, didn’t recommended at all, has very wired taste. The fried shrimp was good, the supreme fish was good as well.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Allow Time. Avoid a tight lunch schedule: one visitor arrived at 2:30pm and still had no food by 3:30pm.

Order Starters. Ask for starters when ordering; one diner says they were not provided automatically.

The Bottom Line

Al Jalboot is a Jumeirah seafood restaurant centred on Emirati cooking, with views towards the beach, harbour and Burj Al Arab. You can order dishes such as shrimp biryani, fish majboos, seafood soup and grilled seafood, then linger over the setting or take a walk nearby. Indoor, outdoor and traditional ground seating give the meal a few different moods.

The strongest reviews focus on fresh fish, prawns and calamari, generous portions, and traditional flavours. Shrimp biryani is mentioned repeatedly, while seafood soup and fish majboos are also reliable suggestions from diners. Families may appreciate the nearby play area, and the outdoor tables are especially appealing in cooler weather or around sunset.

There are some practical caveats. Service is often described as warm and professional, but one recent lunch took almost an hour and a half, and chicken and hummus were unavailable in the mid-afternoon. Food quality can also vary: some guests found fish perfectly cooked, while others reported burned fish, bland salmon or tough reheated meat.

Parking under the mall was reported at 10 per hour and may be difficult during peak periods. Pricing opinions are mixed, ranging from reasonable to high for the portions.
