Known for its rich variety of seafood, Floka, situated in the heart of the Al Aqaba was our choice for to enjoy our meal, we wanted a proper goodbye dinner to conclude this memorable trip. For some good seafood Al Aqaba, a Jordanian coastal city is known to boast a few seafood restaurants… we went for Floka.
Floka looks nice. A well decorated air-conditioned space, with the marine-like ambiance, gave off a good first impression. A reflective ceramic floor, wooden decorative items, a bar and two aquariums, all in a space filled with wooden tables and dark leather chairs. Enter from the main door where the fish display welcomes you on the left, all caught fresh that morning; Red Hammour, Farride, Hammour, Sultan Ibrahim, Dinnis, jumbo shrimp and shrimp covered with ice.
Floka offers a wide range of items, not only sea specialties. Soups, starters, oriental salad, fish dishes, seafood specialties, international dishes, rice dishes and desserts. Browsing was fun, I was happy to see the various items they offer and wished I could taste them all; stroganoff, siyadieyh, curried prawns, spaghetti and grilled meat.
With Fayruz musical tunes playing in the background, we started lunch.
After that, each of us had a platter of seafood mixed grill: Two king prawns, a “grilled” fish filet and some “grilled” calamari. I would have preferred if they called them fried instead of grilled. I would have enjoyed them for what they were… We received platters that were shining like a star… all covered in oil. The fish tasted dull and the oil was smelly. That was a big no for me. I had a bite and sent the rest back.
