The restaurant is located close to the beach, so it is easily accessible to the beach goers. The interior is typical American style with vibrant color, cartoons and characters with catchy quotes and one liner found on the walls of the interior.

Catch22 – Menu Book
Berry Punch Smoothie – AED 32 – raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, orange juice and low fat yoghurt
Milkway – AED 69 – White and Dark Chocolate milkshake topped with a rich molten cake, chocolate cookie, warm brownie, sprinkles, rice crispies drizzled with warm chocolate sauce

We started with the Berry punch smoothie which was a thick, heavy and a delicious drink. The drink that you must try here would be one of their signature crazy shakes which was indeed overwhelming and to an extent we didn’t want to have any dessert later. The single crazy shake came with a topping of brownie, warm chocolate cookie, a molten cake and a waffle which was really a crazy addition to a shake. It was like desserts collected on top of a shake. So that’s like a 2 in 1 order, desserts and a shake. The crazy shakes and monster burgers gives Catch22 attention, especially from social media handles.

Quinnoa Burrata Salad – AED 61 -Italian burrata with fresh cherry tomatoes and slices of ripe peach on crispy kale with fried red quinoa and creamy chive dressing
Fried Calamari Rings – AED 34
C22 Shrimp – AED 55 – batter fried shrimp tossed in spiced chilli aioli, topped with spring onions and served with fresh lemon

To begin with let me give you a tip. Those marked with c22 are to be tried, they really are special. The C22 shrimp starter was out of this world. It was one of best shrimp experience for your palate. I think it’s the magic of the spiced chilli aioli sauce and lemon sprinkle on top of a good quality shrimp that makes it a mouth watering experience. The calamari rings were a little deceiving. In the menu picture they looked big but eventually they were smaller calamari rings stacked up. But don’t get me wrong, they were crispy and delightful to eat by dipping in that aioli which was a very important condiment for the fried Calamari. The salad was a good one, very healthy and satisfying.

Baked spanish Paella – AED 116 – Fresh mussels, calamari, prawns, peppers and hint of toasted saffron and smoked paprika

Chicken Tenders – AED 44 – crispy chicken breast tenders, served with curly fries

The vegan burger is a must try. You just don’t miss any of that beef. It actually feels like a beef patty but really it’s a vegan inside. I think they have done a fantastic job in creating this vegan burger without compromising on the experience of a real burger. For fries you have the option of curly, steak or regular size. The steak fries were thick and the curly where thinner but crispier, whichever fries you won’t be disappointed. The bun was commendable too. As far as the Spanish Paella is concerned, we loved every seafood in it which was just best part about the Paella. Kids menu was an interesting one as the chicken tenders came in a toy truck and the best part, they get to keep the truck! That’s a kind thought of the restaurant and a smart move too. Kids are surely going to pull us back here for more. We then ended our lunch with a fine Moroccan tea.
