What it is
Nemo Dahab sits along the bay in Mashraba, the residential southern stretch of town where the seafront softens and the crowds thin out. The kitchen leans on whatever came in that morning, with grilled fish, prawns and squid handled simply and cooked to order. Outdoor tables face the water, which makes it a calmer pick than the busier Lighthouse strip a few minutes north. The room reads casual but tidy, and staff are used to solo divers, couples on a slow evening and small groups splitting plates. Hours stretch into late dinner service, and the menu also covers Western dishes for anyone in the group not in the mood for fish.
Menu
The menu is built around the daily catch, with grilled and pan-fried fish, prawns and squid sold by weight or as set plates. You'll also find mezze starters, soups, salads, pasta and a short Western section with grilled meats. Vegetarian options are listed under offerings, and there's coffee, tea and dessert at the end of service. Beer, wine and cocktails are available alongside soft drinks. The menu is kept in-house rather than published online, so it's worth asking what's fresh that day when you sit down.
Sample prices: Grilled fish (per kg) 600–950 EGP · Prawns plate 350–550 EGP · Calamari 250–400 EGP · Mezze starters 70–140 EGP · Pasta mains 180–280 EGP · Soft drink 30–60 EGP · Local beer 90–140 EGP
