ROKA
The little sister of Zuma and the brainchild of acclaimed chef and restaurant founder Rainer Becker, this Japanese restaurant calls Zaha Hadid's Opus building its home. With several branches already in London, including in Mayfair and Aldwych, ROKA Dubai is the first international venture for the popular spot that’s best known for utilising the robata grill as the basis of most of its signature dishes.
Contemporary wooden furniture and hanging greens make up the interiors of this Business Bay eatery. While the indoor section is buzzing with plenty of bar seating and upbeat music, the gorgeous outdoor terrace space boasts impressive views of the iconic Burj Khalifa.

Grilled, robata-cooked recipes take centre stage at this internationally recognised dining destination. From black cod marinated in yuzu miso to seasoned beef fillets and mushrooms glazed with truffle butter ponzu, you'll find something to satiate every kind of palate here. Don’t miss the yellowtail sashimi with yuzu-truffle dressing, lamb chops and miso bone marrow served with soft buttery brioche either.
End your meal on the perfect note with something from their vast sugar-centric menu that includes a chocolate and passion fruit sundae and dark chocolate and green tea pudding. And for those of you who are big on sweet treats, you can order the lavish ROKA platter featuring a selection of signature plates piled high with seasonal and exotic fruits, ice creams and sorbets.
If you want to sample the eatery's most popular plates, then make a reservation for their Saturday brunch starring expertly-rolled sushi and other delicious offerings. Expect top service and consistently good food, as you’d hope for from this reputed name.
