What to Eat at The Catch Seafood Grill - Deira, Dubai 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 The Catch Seafood Grill - Deira, Dubai, 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.

“We tried their Boodle Fight promo, which was supposed to be good for 2–4 people. However, when the food arrived, we were surprised by the huge serving—it looked like it could easily feed up to 8 people! The food was very good and flavorful. It reminded me of eating by the shore in the Philippines. Overall, it was a great experience, and we were very satisfied with both the quality and quantity of the food.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose Cajun. For mixed seafood, ask about the Cajun sauce: one diner found it perfectly seasoned, while grilled bangus was underseasoned.
Come Hungry. The Boodle Fight serving may be far larger than its stated 2–4-person guidance, so avoid over-ordering for a small group.
Check Facilities. Before settling in, check that the washroom has tissue and hand soap, as one visit found both missing.
Book Events. For birthdays or parties, arrange the setup in advance; reviews mention decorations, buffets and organised event support.
Try Off-Peak. A Friday evening visit was described as less crowded, which may suit diners wanting a quieter meal.
Ask Menu Access. If you cannot scan a digital menu, ask for a physical one; a reviewer said it was not available on arrival.

The Bottom Line
The Catch Seafood Grill is a casual seafood restaurant in Port Saeed that suits both relaxed meals and family celebrations. You can order seafood boils, mixed seafood platters, lobster or the Boodle Fight group promo; the latter was described as large enough to feed up to eight people despite being presented for two to four. The Cajun sauce is one of the clearest standouts.
A diner found it perfectly seasoned with mixed seafood, while another praised a Cajun seafood dish alongside calamari and chicken wings. Reviews also mention ribs steak, paella, grilled bangus and Filipino favourites such as bam-i and bangus sisig. Quality is not completely consistent: grilled bangus was called underseasoned, and another visit found small, meatless crabs and missing crab balls.
For celebrations, the restaurant has hosted first birthdays and other family events with decorations, buffets, cakes and children’s entertainment. The venue can feel small for groups of 40 or more, and an open second floor may make events loud downstairs. Check the restroom supplies too, as reviews mention missing tissue and hand soap.
A Friday evening was reported as less crowded, worth considering if you prefer a calmer meal.
