The Good Stuff
Welcoming atmosphere
The club is repeatedly described as calm, spacious and friendly, with a welcoming crowd and room to move around the tables.
Friendly service
Several reviews mention helpful, cooperative staff and an owner who interacts with customers about their games.
Food selection
Customers specifically praise the biryani, bun kebab, charcoal chicken, pasta, drinks and tea served through the café and restaurant.
Family friendly
One review calls it a decent place for women and families, while others describe enjoyable visits with friends and family.
Late access
A review describes the venue as available 24/7 for snooker, billiards and food, useful for players with flexible schedules.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check timing. If you want food, allow extra time; one Sunday early-morning visitor found preparation slow despite tasty food.
Confirm billing. Before starting, confirm the hourly rate and check the final bill, given one report of being charged for more than an hour.
Ask table condition. If table quality matters for serious play, ask which table is available, as reviews differ between excellent and poorly maintained tables.
Expect cigars. Keep the indoor cigar policy in mind if smoke bothers you; a review specifically flags cigar smoking inside.
Bring friends. The relaxed setting and games make it a natural group outing, with one customer suggesting friends come along when bored.

The Bottom Line
CueCraft Snooker Club in Al Raffa is built around snooker and billiards, with enough space for casual games, practice and longer sessions. Reviews highlight new Star and CueCraft Invictus tables, plus match-room cloth, pro-standard pockets and heated international-grade tables. That combination will appeal most to players who care about playing conditions rather than just passing time.
The café and restaurant add a useful reason to stay. Customers mention biryani, bun kebab, pasta, tea and charcoal chicken; several describe the chicken as juicy and smoky, including one delivery order that arrived hot with generous portions and garlic sauce. Food feedback is not completely consistent, though: other diners found charcoal chicken burnt or overly spiced, and one disliked the ghee roast.
The mood is generally calm, spacious and welcoming, with reviews describing friendly staff, a pleasant crowd and a family-friendly setting. Service can vary sharply. Some visitors report attentive help, while others waited more than 30 minutes for attention or food.
If you are visiting to play by the hour, confirm the rate and check the bill afterward: one review alleges an hour was charged as more than an hour. Also note that cigar smoking is allowed indoors, which may affect your comfort.
