Choose fish. Ask to see the fish on ice and choose your preferred variety before ordering.
Ask specials. Ask whether the chef’s special soup is available; one reviewer said it was not on the menu.
Specify cooking. If you prefer simple flavours, request the fish grilled without spices, using only salt and lemon.
Request boneless. Ask whether the fish can be cooked without bones if you want the seasoning to stay with the flesh.
Plan parking. Allow extra time to find parking, as one reviewer found it challenging.
Try terrace. Consider the terrace when the weather is suitable; a reviewer found it especially good at that time of year.
Plan the visit
One visit raised concerns after the reviewer noticed cloudy eyes on all the fish.
A reviewer found the fried fish too dry and the accompanying rice insufficiently hot.
The restaurant does not provide a bathroom, though there is a hand-washing section beside the dining area.
Finding parking can be difficult, according to one diner.
During a slow visit, one diner felt overly observed because the restaurant was nearly empty.
The Bottom Line
Le Caboria is a seafood restaurant in Deira where you can choose fish displayed on ice and have it grilled, baked or fried. The reviews make the charcoal sea bream with mild Arabic spice a strong starting point, while the mushroom seafood soup, grilled shrimp and seafood platter are also specifically praised. The cooking leans flavourful, with Arabic, Jamaican and other spice options, but the kitchen can accommodate simpler requests too: one diner had fish grilled with only salt and lemon.
Soups are a recurring favourite, and the portions and prices are often described as fair for the quality. A kids’ pasta with white sauce was also well received by one family group. The room is described as clean, calm and welcoming, with a terrace available in suitable weather.
Service is generally attentive and friendly. Practical drawbacks matter: parking can be difficult, there is no bathroom on site, and one visit raised a freshness concern after cloudy fish eyes were noticed. Another diner found fried fish dry and rice not hot enough, so it is worth checking preparation and serving temperature when ordering.
The restaurant can also feel very quiet during slow periods.
