Our local dive buddy recommended this place and it was really nice place to go. There's a really nice reef in front of the restaurant, there's also a shower, food was good and the staff was really friendly. Nice place to be in between the dives or just hang around.

We used eel garden stars as a place to leave our towels etc when snorkelling then had a couple of juices on return. They were really nice guys, no pushy hard sell and are happy for you to sunbath or snooze all day if you buy an occasional drink. I also had an egyptian breakfast, delicious.

Great food, great location, great staff, great atmosphere. Mohamed was always smiley and entertaining, if a little overzealous on that front coming to sit with us while we ate! We tried to vary where we frequented for dinner, always to our disappointment so we always came back to eel gardens where the food was top notch at affordable prices. One... More

Very relaxed atmosphere. Sit down on the floor dinner totally Egyptian style! Food tasty & good & reasonable prices compared to other restaurants in Dahab especially in that area. Ideal location & easy access from restaurant to snorkel area!

Eel Garden stars is where I would normally go to if I want to swim and enjoy a cold, refreshing drink. The location is brilliant - gives you direct access to the Eel garden, one of Dahab's best snorkeling spots. It's also worth mentioning that the entry to the sea in front of the restaurant is sandy (no bulky annoying... More

My partner and son went snorkelling from this location a few days and I chilled out and relaxed drinking Bedouin tea and sampling the ice cream. The location is excellent the service top class and the whole atmosphere really relaxing a wonderful place to spend a day.

Was just passing by and feeling a bit hungry so decided to try the restaurant. What a pleasant surprise! My falafel sandwich was delicious. The setting is beautiful by the sea and good views of the Saudi mountains/gulf of Aqaba. The staff were very courteous and the food was extremely good value for money. I will definitely visit again.

Sit like a Bedouin under the stars and soak up the amazing energy of being in Egypt. The atmosphere is magical and guests are well looked after with fires for warmth and extremely attentive staff. The food is as delicious as the descriptions in the menu. If you are in Dahab I urge you to drop by.

Friendly service and good food. You can bring your own wine and they'll open it free of charge. Because of the Bedouin style seating, cats will come up to your table, especially if you order fish! Be careful if your order a special that they tell you up the price ahead of time - we ordered fish of the day,... More
