Scratch Restaurant

Scratch Restaurant is a small independent kitchen in Fujairah city, running a focused menu built around grilled meats, burgers and a distinctive dessert programme. The room is cosy and informal, with considered plating and a friendly, family-suited atmosphere that works equally well for a group dinner or a quieter evening meal. The kitchen's signatures are immediately clear on the menu. Saffron chicken tikka, sizzling beef with creamy hummus and the chicken skewers are the orders regulars most frequently return for; the burger section holds its own with properly cooked patties and fresh toppings. The house treats food as cooked-to-order rather than pre-prepped, which means a brief wait on busier evenings is worth the quality delivered. The dessert course deserves special attention. The Charcoal Kunafa is the standout finish - an unusual twist on the classic dessert, beautifully plated and the reason many guests extend a dinner past the mains. Service is warm and attentive throughout, with staff happy to make recommendations. For a distinctive, well-priced dinner in the city with a kitchen that genuinely cooks from scratch, this is a quiet favourite worth seeking out.
