This is a absolute must if your in dubai, I still don't understand how they are making any money with the offers Claw bbq have. Me and my girls had the most amazing night for ladies night were we spent only 80dhs each for 3 very large courses and unlimited alcoholic beverages. The portions were huge and was absolutely delicious. Great vibes and the staff were so much fun, very energetic and hilarious. Great chilled out casual bar, highly recommend.

Lately I had been reviewing fine dining, white table cloth, set taster type menu restaurants and just fancied something different and to the extent of some finger food getting a little messy in a controlled way of course! So, I decided to visit Claw BBQ. What a fun, funky dining experience. The atmosphere and food is better viewed on my video at Ash Eat Dubai on YouTube where it sums up the whole experience. But, here some words, the welcome and service from the happy friendly staff is outstanding throughout. The atmosphere is lively with great music and a lively bar area. The food and we had the Beef Ribs which, fell off the bone with a zingy sauce and the King Crab legs which, so delicately prepared only required scissors to cut out the meat (live demonstration on my YouTube video) if some people are not familiar with eating and dealing with a crab leg it’s not an art it is simple and fun! We finished with the Bramley Apple and caramel crumble and it was just what I was looking for. The whole experience was outstandingly fun with friendly staff and finely cooked food. Would recommend a visit here if you are not expecting silver service as I mentioned.
One more point of note just in case, there is no Pork in the menu currently due to licensing issues enforced by local authorities but, the Beef ribs are more than a substitute.
I again say,the whole experience is watchable on my YouTube channel

Attended the Taco and Margarita Night last night and the service was appalling. It took nearly an hour to get the first round of drinks and food then you had to ask at least 3-4 times for the next drink to come so I spent most of the night with no drink in front of me or an empty glass. 2 of the group left it was that bad which then put a bit of a sour taste in out months for the rest of the night.

We went to Claw for lunch and I have to admit we were left very disappointed. The calamari, fries and rock and roll shrimp starters were fine, but the main course of deluxe seafood bucket was awful. The ambience in the place was also non existent and staff not particularly motivated or too friendly. The cost of it all was very high for nothing more than an average meal. It was our first and last visit.

Dear AndyYac,
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to CLAW BBQ.
We were of course disappointed to learn you visit had fallen short of expectations and would welcome the opportunity to discuss the points raised with you.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to email me directly kevin@clawbbq.com with your contact information so that we can understand more about your experience and where we may be able to improve further.
Kind regards,
Kevin

The crab was bad, shell was soft and the crab meat was brown inside, and extremely mushy. You would think that a crab shack would have nothing but quality. The chef sending out something like this, accepts the fact that you could literally really harm someone in extreme cases. It is absurd and extremely hazardous to one's health. The meat being mushy inside means the crab was dead, and the fact that that two orders of them were sent to our table, is clearly a red flag. Order with caution.

Upon arrival at the place the African hostess is very rude. She doesn't talk politely. I understand that me and my partner doesn't have a reservation but the way she deliver the words are extremely rude. We went inside and totally quiet and when we found a table to sit on she was "we are fully booked" although there is no reserve notice on the table we sit on she doesn't want us to sit there and all she say is we are fully booked. The time was still early and we mentioned we wont be long but she still refused to accommodate us. We left the restaurant and for sure wont be back again.

We turned up 15 minutes early for our reservation and they told us it was happy hour for another 15 minutes! Bonus! The food was very good, my husband said his burger was the best he had ever had. The prices were very reasonable for the location in Dubai. To top off an amazing meal they handed my little not a bag with 4 toys. Next time we are in Dubai we will be back! Thank you for such a memorable meal đź’—

It was our first time in CLAW, we have been served by Juno who helped us by recommending what we can have. We ordered ribeye, buffalo claw wings and shrimps, the dishes were amazing, very delicious. This place will definitely be visited again!

It was my first time here and I must say I immediately liked the ambience outside, the weather was cold and it had a nice feel to it. I also need to share that the food is absolutely on mediocracy level. The ribs that we ordered was really hard and I think that they must go out and check other pubs how ribs should be cooked. It wasnt soft and tender at all and I was really disappointed. Guys, please check our Red Lion or JB's Gastropub, cmon! I had to have my strawberry mojito done and I dont know why it tasted to blant, I dont know what they use in there but I always order this drink in all pubs and no matter how many times they redo it the strawberry taste was never there. It's just so bad when you know how a drink should be and it just wasnt it. The service was really excellent by all this Filipino guy though, very accommodating, warm and welcoming, But I can say that was the last time I will ever be there.

I visited Claw BBQ this week, and i was very happy with the service and overall experience. The food was so good and what made everything better was the amazing team specially JUNU who showed an exceptional approach, high knowledge and was very friendly and fun at the same time. Looking forward for my next visit there!

I came with my friend for a quick bite and a drink.
We enjoyed everything we chose, the cocktails were exactly what they should be and had a right volume.
The food was of a decent size, we hardly finished everything, even though we only chose apetizers and salads.
Everything arrived quickly, well presented and delicious.
We were assisted by Nico, who was very friendly, helpful, efficient and professional.
Great spot for a casual catch-up.

Just been for lunch in Claw BBQ, Pavilion at The Beach, Jumeirah Dubai. Hostess explained that it was “Happy Hour” on drinks but not on food. Perfect. We ordered the ribs and they were good. We were served by a lovely waiter Huberto. When we got the bill they explained that the “Happy Hour” was not so happy after all and limited to the bare minimum of drinks. When we spoke to manager while leaving his response was that he”would speak to the staff”. I would not recommend this restaurant at all and obviously there was only one or two other people in there. Very disappointing.

Claw BBQ is your ideal place to visit for a night out or if you are craving for some delicious grilled food.
Located in the heart of Souk Al Bahar, this restaurant has been around for a while. They have some good happy hour deals and multiple screens showing the sports tournaments.
We started our food adventure with a Half Smoked BBQ Chicken and Grilled Chicken Sandwich. The BBQ chicken was hands down scrumptious. The smokey and sticky sweet barbeque flavour was well marinated into the chicken. It is a messy dish to have but it is definitely worth the trouble. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was crunchy and appetising.
The portion size for the food is good in comparison to the price. The servers are fun and quick to suggest popular dishes.
Overall a great place to visit for a night outÂ

I am a regular customer of Claw BBQ. This wonderful restaurant offers everything; a great menu with awesome dishes, a fun atmosphere and great service. The menus offers a wide array of seafood dishes along with the American favorites, the vibe is always buzzing with there DJ spinning a mixed bag of tunes and the staff is highly engaging and well trained. Talk to Kevin, the manager, and he will take care of you everyrhime. We have fun here eveytime we come. I especially love their offers, and my favorite is the weekend BBQ platter offer. All of this with the best prices in town. Wow!!

Downtown Dubai
You can’t fail to miss Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It towers over the city and resides in the prestigious Downtown development. Once an old army base, Downtown is now the jewel in Dubai’s crown, a beautiful residential and leisure area housing not only the world’s tallest building, but the world’s largest fountains and mall. Wide marble sidewalks are perfect for strolling, with restaurants, art galleries and children’s play areas. Specially commissioned sculptures line the roads and Downtown is often used as a canvas for modern art displays and community events such as Classic Car Shows and National Day parades. In the cooler months, cross one of the many bridges to the Burj Khalifa park and enjoy a picnic alongside residents and visitors, or enjoy a lunch or dinner watch the dancing fountains. Because of its mixed use, Downtown is a fantastic place to mix with Dubai residents and locals and watch real life unfold in a cosmopolitan environment.
