Tamoka
Latin American JBR, Dubai
A beachfront Latin American and Caribbean restaurant where fire cooking, ceviche and sunset views meet the sand.
AED 250 to 450 per personTerrace
The Plate Snob take
Tamoka is one of JBR's rare venues where the beach is more than a photo prop. Arrive before sunset, order from the raw and fire sections, and let Ain Dubai provide the shameless backdrop.
Good food goes further.

The full picture
Latin flavour by the water
The menu moves from ceviche and tiradito to charcoal-grilled seafood and meat, borrowing freely from the Caribbean coast. Acidity and smoke are the thread, so balance rich grill dishes with something bright and raw.
Time the booking
The setting changes quickly from sunlit beach restaurant to energetic evening destination. A late-afternoon table delivers both versions and is the most persuasive argument for lingering over another round.
