Al Fanar Restaurant

Al Fanar Seafood Restaurant is part of the Al Fanar family, inspired by true Emirati heritage and seafood culture. With multiple locations (notably in Al Seef by the Creek and Al Barsha Pond Park), it delivers traditional Emirati fare in rustic, nostalgic settings reminiscent of 1960s Dubai.
