Concept story
Where the sea meets flavor.
Perched atop the Palm Jumeirah Mall rooftop, Samakjë redefines elevated casual dining in a stunning modern setting — blending Lebanese and Mediterranean culinary influences to showcase the freshest seafood. The name means ‘fish expert’ in Arabic, a tribute to the fishermen who select, prepare, and serve perfectly seasoned, masterfully cooked seafood.
Brand philosophy
Always fresh, always honest. A licensed restaurant whose culinary philosophy merges Mediterranean elements with Lebanese flair — original dishes alongside modern twists on classic favourites, anchored by a unique in-house fish display.
Entertainment strategy
Stouh Beirut nights with unlimited arak, complimentary shisha and shared plates inspired by Beirut’s most loved evenings. Harbor Events throughout the season pair seafood dining with vibrant live entertainment against the Palm Jumeirah waterfront.
Guest experience
Lunch en Terrasse Monday–Friday (12 PM – 4 PM, four mezze from AED 99). Weekend Family Lunch Saturday & Sunday (1 PM – 5 PM, from AED 220). Dinner nightly with sweeping rooftop views of the Palm. Reservations via SevenRooms.
