I absolutely love this place. The seafood is amazing and also served by exceptional staff. Every item on the menu is worth trying. My personal favourites are the calamari, prawns, blue swimmer crab and mussels all with the whole Shabang seasoning.

Loved this place for the amazing crabs. Usually go for the local brown crabs in medium shabang with a handful of mussels in the sides. Last week I tried the Blue Swimmer Crab which was great too. The only disappointment in my last order was that the they have considerably reduced the amount of sauce compared to earlier portions given.

This restaurant is our go-to-place when we have a seafood lover visiting. It's small but the service is prompt, the ambience decent and the staff is warm. The food is great, which is the most important factor. I've had trouble getting a table here in the past and it's always full when we've dining here. I think that says it all.

If you are into seafood this is the place to be eating. A very small restaurant with a big heart. Ordered the crab,lobster the full shabang as they call it. Both were mouth watering. The clams and prawns were to die for too. Average ambience but good service and well priced

Amazing food and service!!
You will need to book a table as its a small place with limited seating. The manager/ chef greeted us when we entered and made us feel very comfortable.

Being a huge crab fan, I am extremely happy with the food and would definitely go back again for the crab in special sauce!!

I went to the fat crab today for my husbands birthday, the food was truly amazing.

. This was the best lobster and prawns, etc. I have had in  a long time, the flavours were to die for, and the service was brilliant, I will go back again, very soon. highly recommended, try it  especially if you are a sea food lover.

Wow! This new establishment puts many places in soho to shame ! Fresh Live crabs , prawns , lobster , clams ...all cooked amazingly well. Fried or in the bag, served to you on the table . No plates. If you like seafood , this is the BEST place in London. I can't wait to go back .

Been meaning to try the Fat Crab for about 2 years - had takeaway Lobster and Soft-shell Crab - both were excellent. Lemon pepper fries and sweet potato fries also very good. I collected the order, it was ready at the time suggested when I phoned the order in and well packaged up for drive home. Would definitely recommend for seafood lovers.

A really lovely cosy restaurant. The food was really flavoursome. We ordered the blue Sri Lankan crab, 18 medium prawns, and fries. Everything was really yummy. The service was great, and the staff were really attentive. If I could say one thing, that would be I hope in the near future they can make the restaurant a little bigger as it can feel a little congestive when in full service. Other than that, amazing restaurant and food. Definitely going there again.

Great place to eat been here a few times and allways loved it the fish is fresh and the sauce are amazing, only issue the restaurant is a bit small I believe 4 tables well worth the wait prices are slightly expensive but the quality is amazing look to spend around £70/100 for 2 people with drinks

We had to park the car along a near by road since the place doesnt have a dedicated parking space. The food is amazing. We tried different types of crab and all tasted very good. You have be ready to get messy if you want to try good crab meat. It is recommended to call and make a reservation since there was limited seating. Would definitely go again.

Dinner in a plastic bag, 😁, one of those unique culinary experiences you must try. No cutlery needed just hands and about an hour to get through all the crab and lobster. Enjoy 😋

Been meaning to Visit for a while, my partner craved lobster so seemed ideal. We ordered the meal deal (2 Lobsters, 2 sides - Cajun Chips & Corn, 2 soft drinks) plus 1/2 lbs of Tail on Prawns in variety of sauces (I preferred cajun of all) totalling £74. Both shellfish were quality, soft and juicy but we did just both generally favour the prawns rather than lobster due to personal preference, will order more prawns and perhaps crab next time and add potatoes. Staff were attentive and we booked prior to arrival to avoid disappointment as there were only a handful of tables. I loved that you could items to bag (corn, white/sweet potato) Two minor pet peeves - mayonnaise/ketchup were in sachets only and the corn had no taste, I do not think it was fresh which was a shame otherwise a great place and will be back.

Absolutely love it here!! I loved the service from Sangeet & Rue they are so attentive, friendly and kind. I always feel really welcomed and they are always happy to serve you! I had a proper craving for the crawfish, and the only place I could find without venturing into town was the Harrow branch. What I recommend is the 1 kg crawfish 🦞 medium spicy corn and sweet potato with shabang sauce in the bag!!! Omg what a delight. It was the tastiest crawfish I ever had, the whole bag mix was tasty and I recommend peeling the crawfish then setting it at the bottom of the bag so it retains the juices !!! Love it so much here and it’s become my new favourite restaurant 😍

My family and I come here at least once a year - the food is incredible, fresh, and succulent. The flavours they offer for sauces are unmatched and the experience overall is fantastic. Staff are attentive and friendly, and price is very fair for the quality and breadth of seafood on offer. Cannot recommend this place enough - prepare to get messy!
