Dolphin Yam Review

Known in translation as Sea Dolphin, this eatery serves some of the city's best seafood. The decor is pleasant enough—pale yellow stucco, recessed wine racks, stone-arched windows, a central wooden counter—but it's not a place for intimacy. Food is what draws the mixed clientele, including families. Start with a meze of refillable dishes; the green salad and the eggplant in tomato sauce are excellent. Try the shrimp in cream and mushroom sauce or the musar baladi (drum fish) with ginger and black olives. Beef, poultry, and pasta are other options.

    You Can't Go Wrong Here

    From Appetizers to Desserts, everything was exceptional. It is a large, noisy place but we had very friendly service.
