Aprons & Hammers is a popular Dubai-born seafood concept in JBR and Studio One Hotel, each with its own personality, including both licenced and unlicensed premises. Fans of this homegrown concept that has been in Dubai since 2011 will be able to enjoy all the Apron & Hammers classics, such as the seafood paella, plus new dishes, including Mahi Mahi tacos, truffle lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, firecracker prawns, seared tuna salad, and sliders. A&H is famous for delivering generous portions of excellent yet well-priced seafood in relaxed and chic environments. Serving up tasty, just-caught seafood, our family-friendly restaurant sees guests donning aprons and cracking open crab and lobster dishes—or oysters, mussels, and jumbo shrimp.

Wicked Crab by Aprons and Hammers is a Californian-inspired seafood shack located in the Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Hills Mall. Affectionately known within the group as A&H’s cheeky little cousin, Wicked Crab brings the best of its parent brand’s heritage with hulking portions of crab, shrimp, lobster, and more, yet with a lower overall price point to more effectively cater to mall clientele. In addition, an extensive selection of seafood sandwiches, sushi, and grills means that those looking for a little less messy (yet equally indulgent) meal are still able to enjoy it.
