What to Eat at Spice Grill Seafood Restaurant - Flayva Al Ghurair Centre How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Spice Grill Seafood Restaurant - Flayva Al Ghurair Centre, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

The Cajun seasoning had a great balance of spice and richness that made every bite satisfying. Next time, I’m definitely going for the same feast just turning up the heat a bit for an extra kick.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check seasoning. If you dislike sweet sauces, ask how the Cajun seafood is seasoned; one diner found the 85-dhs version far too sweet.
Try barbecue. The beef barbecue is a safer bet when you want tender, smoky meat; one review also praised the tender BBQ served with the feast.
Ask about customising. Ask whether your order can be adjusted, since a customer specifically appreciated being allowed to customise it.
Mind the setting. Expect a casual food-court atmosphere rather than a standalone dining room; one review specifically describes the ambience that way.
Check seafood texture. If ordering squid or mussels, consider checking preparation, as reviews mention tough squid and chewy mussels.

The Bottom Line
Spice Grill Seafood Restaurant is a casual Pinoy soul-food stop at Flayva Al Ghurair Centre in Deira, with a menu that works for both seafood cravings and hearty meat meals. The main draws in the reviews are Cajun seafood, seafood feast boxes, beef barbecue and BBQ chicken. A seafood combo was described as more than enough for two and came with unlimited rice.
The strongest dishes depend on the visit, but there are plenty of specific wins: Cajun seasoning was praised for its smoky, slightly tangy balance, while the beef barbecue was described as tender enough to melt in the mouth. BBQ chicken also earned praise for being soft and juicy. Fast preparation, reasonable waiting times and staff who can explain the menu add to the convenience of eating here.
There are a few reasons to order thoughtfully. Cajun seasoning has been inconsistent, with one diner finding an 85-dhs serving overwhelmingly sweet; another seafood feast was too salty and reportedly contained sand. Squid and mussels were also criticised for being tough or chewy.
The setting is a food court, so come for an informal, filling meal rather than a quiet restaurant atmosphere. If you have strong preferences, ask about seasoning and whether the order can be customised.
