Food 3

Fried salmon with fries boat Net −1

“Fried salmon with fries boat for kids did not taste very good so pack a meal for your kids if they won’t be eating what you’re eating.”
Lobster Net −1

“On top of that, the lobster was full of sand and impossible to eat. Also, while the staff was pouring the sauce, half of it spilled onto my clothes, which was very unprofessional and frustrating.”
Shrimp pot with onion and tomato sauce Net −1

“I ordered the shrimp pot with onion and tomato sauce and it was really delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Because of that, I decided to come back again and even invited my family to try it… but unfortunately, this time was very disappointing. I ordered the exact same dish, but it came completely different dry, with no sauce at all, and extremely spicy to the point we couldn’t enjoy it. It honestly didn’t feel like the same dish.”

The Bottom Line

Shrimp Pot in Al Jaddaf is built around seafood buckets designed for sharing. You can choose mixes such as shrimp, crab and mussels, then pair them with Cajun, coconut curry, lemon, chilli lime or shrimp pot sauce. The food is poured onto the table and eaten with gloves, making it a hands-on meal for families, friends and lunch groups.

Lobster rolls, fish and chips and tom yum soup also appear in the reviews. The strongest pattern is flavour and quantity. Diners describe fresh, well-cooked seafood and generous servings; one review says a 1kg bucket usually feeds a family of four, while another found a half-kilo enough for two.

Coconut curry and Cajun are especially popular, although one guest found the Cajun sauce too salty and another said a lemon sauce lacked lemon flavour. The restaurant is spacious, with two floors and plenty of parking mentioned in reviews. Call ahead if you need a table, and consider quieter hours because service can slow when the restaurant is busy.

Upstairs may be more comfortable if the first floor smells strong. The main caution is upkeep and consistency. Several guests reported dirty washrooms, and individual visits mention table leaks, pests or poor handling of complaints.

Check inclusions and extra charges before ordering, particularly for corn and bread.
