Offering front-row seats to the Palm Fountains and panoramic views of the Palm Jumeirah, The Pointe’s latest Levantine-Mediterranean inspired licensed restaurant, Samakjé Restaurant & Lounge introduces new and exciting daily offers for residents to enjoy.

An Arabic word that loosely translates to ‘Fish Expert’, Samakjé surely lives up to the name. Setting a new paramount for premium Levantine inspired cuisine, Samakjé is an ode to the mastery of fishermen who expertly pick, prepare and plate well-seasoned and skillfully cooked seafood. The culinary philosophy of the new, licensed restaurant seamlessly blends Mediterranean nuances with Levantine influences, resulting in a mix of unique creations as well as contemporary renditions of traditional favorites.

Set on Palm Jumeriah’s waterfront destination, The Pointe, Samakje takes elevated casual to new heights in a two-story space that combines Levantine and Mediterranean influences to put the freshest fish forward. Launched in November 2020, the home-grown concept is touted to be the local legend of sea fare, offering a display counter full of fresh fish choices, a variety of options for mezze and mains, and a tidal wave of excitement from the food to the views, licensed bar, sheesha and backgammon.

Guests can choose from an assortment of handpicked fresh seafood artistically displayed on ice at the fish counter (getting some expert advice on which fish is best from their very own Samakjé). With a variety of sauces, mains, and mezze like Truffle Labneh Dip, Fish Tajin and Lobster Kibbeh, along with a lineup of cross-culture confections, such as Lemon Curd Labneh Cheesecake and Chocolate Mousse Pastilla, everyone is sure to find a new favorite from the versatile menu.

While the market-style display of seafood captures the essence of fresh fare along the Mediterranean coastline, the interiors take a more East-meets-West approach. With an indoor/outdoor setting, hues of bright blues, teal greens and whites set against glass accents, triple arched mirrors, dark timber, copper pendant lights, retro mosaics, and oriental-fusion music, creating a chic, sophisticated vibe in this relaxing waterfront location.

Samakjé Restaurant & Lounge is a great place to do business or for family and friends to unwind over a glass of Arak.  Soon guests will also be able to soak up the scenic views with premium sheesha or a game of backgammon in the spacious terrace lounge of this two-story restaurant, where grapes, hops, cocktails and mocktails taste better with the refreshing sea breeze.
