I visited Dampa Seafood and Grill in Abu Dhabi last week, and it was a seafood feast like no other! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and full of that bold, satisfying taste Dampa is known for. From the boodle fight setup to the fun, laid-back vibes, it was a messy (in the best way) and memorable dining experience. Definitely a must-try!
Our server recommended the mixed grill for my family of 3 pax, and it was an excellent choice! The dish came with 2 complimentary drinks (1 liter). The seafood was incredibly fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious! The price was very reasonable, and the service was top-notch - friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience!
Cheap and delicious seafood restaurant. We ordered two Dump@Seafeast set meals, one Mexican style and one Thai style. The set meal includes shrimp, crab, mussels, corn, unlimited rice and 4 liters of drinks, for a total of only 328 dirhams. Considering there were 7 of us dining and this was in Abu Dhabi, it was very cheap. In addition to being very cheap, this restaurant serves food very quickly and the seafood is fresh and delicious. It is definitely a restaurant worth visiting again. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends! (There is also a branch of the restaurant in Dubai)
The best seafood restaurant I've ever visited in Abu Dhabi so far!The seafood was so delicious with generous amount of rice and unlimited refill, not to mention the lovely cajun sauce, it is just another level!The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Jayson and Edward.It's definitely a place I would visit for several times.
This is a treasure to discover. My 1st trip to Abu Dhabi was greeted with this excellent grill seafood place. No plates but served on papers & disposable gloves as utensils. How cool it is, to eat with your hands! Mothers’ nightmare. But it’s freedom! Must try the Cajun Shrimp! Affordable & meals served Pinoy style! Excellent!!
Been wanting to eat here for a long time, but queues are super long in the evenings. So we tried coming 2PM and had lots of tables available. We enjoyed the seafood feast, especially with the hearty service of Jayson who made sure we were having a great time. Ended our lunch with their cold, sweet scramble for a nostalgic taste of home
Jayson and the entire staff was amazing. The service perfect. The sauce was amazing and super affordable for two people. And the drinks were so awesome. Favorite seafood spot in the world and I have traveled all over the world. Didn’t leave anything left. Top tier everything. Don’t go anywhere else.
The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a group gathering. But what really stood out was the service. Our server, Ace, was incredibly friendly and attentive, not just to us but to everyone in our large group. He made sure our rice were always filled, answered all our questions about the menu with a smile, and even helped us take some fun group photos. Ace's excellent service really made the evening special, and we'll definitely be back!
