Estakoza offers fresh seafood with a market style where guests pick seafood by weight and choose the cooking method, delivering generous portions and vibrant flavors; the experience is often described as friendly and welcoming with a lively atmosphere, and the seafood is consistently praised for freshness and quality across a variety of dishes; some visits note crowds and rushed service during busy times, occasional issues with presentation or sauce quality, and a price level that can feel high when several items are ordered, but overall guests say it remains a standout choice for seafood lovers.
different fish dishes - sea bass & dorade - but they were placed together, one on top of the other. This completely ruined the presentation & made it difficult to enjoy each dish properly.
Additionally, the sauce provided was unacceptable & did not meet expectations in terms of quality or taste.
This kind of cost-cutting & lack of attention to detail is exactly how businesses lose loyal customers. I hope this feedback is taken seriously & improvements are made.

Le services est inacceptable, 2 heures d'attente pour ce faire servir la commande au compte goûte sans Même une seul excuse de la serveuse qui à aucun sourire. Même demander du pain, vous aurez plus faim lorsque ca arriveras.
I went to eat here today yes there was a wait both to get a table & to place the order & the food took a little while to arrive but honestly it was completely understandable given how busy it was especially during the Easter weekend
In the end it was absolutely worth it everything was delicious & the service was impeccable
the staff remained professional & friendly despite the rush which really makes a difference
I understand why it's so popular it's differently deserve it success I will gladly come back
The waiting time is not acceptable by all means, waited more than 1 hour in the queue to make our order , & I don't know when will be ready , they kept one person on the counter to receive the orders

Maybe the fish & related varieties are good, but the service is terrible, the atmosphere is similar to a open vegetable market, the waiting time to order the food is terrible, the whole thing is just chaos
Great experience! Fresh seafood with tasty garlic sauces. I truly enjoyed the sepia, although it was slightly on the chewier side. The fried red snapper was excellent. The smelt fish were among our favourites. This place also offers good value for the price. Would return!
This restaurant is absolutely amazing like the seafood is amazing . Last time I went tho , total chaos. It was on Eid & it was total chaos. I understand that it was way too crowded & the food was very rushed & it took us an hour to recover our order. When we usually go there , the salad usually comes first & our food comes fast but that time I didn't enjoy it. Really hope next time I come it's better.
We had a reservation sat & waited for more the 2 hours for our food! Everyone got served, ate & left while we waited all along. Not professional, waiters were still nice.
Visited again! Still super good. keep it up!

First Timer.
Plenty of parking.
Went there without reservation & we got a table instantly.
Staffs were welcoming & friendly.
Nice atmosphere & clean!
As for food, once you get your table, you have to go to the counter at the back & choose your seafoods & pricing for majority is based on weight. You choose cooking style too so I picked fried calamari, grilles octopus & espadon, M salad & P rice. It was well enough for 2 person.
Taste wise they were all supeeer good & it reminded me of the island life ♥?🌴 I would highly recommend! Total came to 75$ approx (excl tip) see pictures for reference, & well worth it.
Un des meilleurs resturants que je suis aller pour les fruits de mer,la nourriture est tres frais,personelle super gentils & à l'ecoute,belle endroit & bonne ambiance,je retournerai.je conseille leur frites,calmars & crevette avec sauce creme.
