Red Calamari Tagine in Dubai

red calamari tagine

Calamari braised in our deep red, spiced tomato sauce until tender enough to cut with a spoon — the smartest-priced tagine on the menu and the first to sell out. You will find it at Aylla Seafood Restaurant & Café, right beside Waterfront Market in Dubai.

AED 43 Never Tasted This Big

The most honest plate in Dubai: calamari from the market next door, a tomato sauce we cook down for hours, and a clay pot that keeps it all hot until the last scoop. It is no accident this is the first tagine to finish every night.

From the Clay Pot

The same standard, every order:

Fresh from the market

Shrimp, calamari and fish picked from the day’s catch, right next door.

Into the clay pot

Simmered slow with silky cream or our rich red sauce and Gulf spices.

Bubbling to your table

Landed hot in the pot, with bread and rice to soak up every drop.

Reserve Your Table

Eat it on the terrace with the water in view, or take it to go — it travels well either way.
