“Had Boat mix tray. Fair to say that it was good but squid was disappointed as it was too rubbery and felt like waste of money. Also with the tray kubbos combination was pretty bad any chapathi would have been a better combo. Hope to see better combo in near future”

Check opening. If you are driving a long distance or planning iftar, confirm the restaurant is open first; one customer found it closed despite Google Maps saying otherwise.
Confirm sides. For delivery seafood buckets, ask exactly whether rice, khubs, salad or hummus are included and whether the quantity suits your group.
Avoid peak waits. Consider visiting outside the busiest periods or allow extra time, as one evening visit involved more than three hours of delays.
Bring your catch. If you have your own fish or seafood, ask for it to be grilled or fried to your preferred style.
Plan the visit
One recent visit took from about 7:00 PM to 12:30 AM, with roughly 90 minutes spent waiting outside for food.
Some customers reported incomplete or incorrect orders, with repeated corrections creating further mistakes.
Recent reviews describe rude or unprofessional interactions and limited help from staff or management.
One returning customer said prices had increased while portions had become smaller, and rice was forgotten.
The squid in one Boat mix tray was described as too rubbery, making that part feel poor value.
The Bottom Line
Boat Seafood Restaurant in Al Warqa is aimed squarely at seafood diners, with prepared dishes ranging from grilled fish to mixed trays and seafood soups. The grilled sea bream is a recurring highlight: one review describes a crisp outside and tender, flaky centre, while the Boat mix combines several seafood items for sharing. Other named choices include the seafood bucket, special lobster, seafood mix soup and seafood pasta.
Portions can be generous; one review says a medium mix grill on the boat was enough for four people. Families also have private cabins, and some meals come with Arabic bread, dips and water. You can bring your own fish or seafood and have it grilled or fried, which is a useful option if you prefer choosing the fish yourself.
Value feedback is generally positive, including a family-of-five bill of around AED 280 for shrimp, fish, calamari, mussels and additional dishes. Still, recent reviews raise serious service concerns: waits of several hours, repeated order errors and rude interactions. Another customer reported increased prices, smaller portions and missing rice.
Check opening hours before travelling, and confirm delivery sides and quantities when ordering a bucket.
