Why Travelers Love Bin Jabir
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Delicious dinner at Bin Jabir. Food cooked to perfection, courteous service. We were the only diners which we've found to be the case in the smaller, local restaurants in the evening. Grilled octopus and cigarettes both to be recommended, served with rice, a medley of veg and a garlic butter sauce. When you climb the sand and then when you see the location you want to go back... but... after you get the food and taste it everything is delicious. Fresh seafood, cooked excellently. Not to be missed! I recommend 100% This place is fantastic. We arrived quite early about 4.30pm and were the only people. We ordered the grilled fish platter, prawn curry and grilled wolf fish. It took about half an hour to arrive because it’s all cooked fresh but it was so worth the wait- the food tasted amazing. The two guys working were friendly talked to us about how they cooked the curry as well. Highly recommended!

Very fresh seafood. We had grilled octopus and local fish and bananas- they are so delicious and fresh! The special sauce for the seafood is also great and unique. Fair price. Love it a lot!

The restaurant had a great atmosphere. The chairs were a bit low, so the view of the sea wasn’t as good as it could have been. The food was very tasty, but the meat was a little tough.
