Find innovative Japanese plates at Zuma Dubai

Known for izakaya – a Japanese style of dining that emphasises sharing a selection of dishes – Zuma serves its plates in a steady flow as they are ready, allowing diners to sample each item at a leisurely pace.

You can order from a comprehensive menu of Japanese classics that include their signature miso-marinated black cod, expertly rolled sushi and fresh sashimi among other highlights. The wild mushroom rice hotpot, smoked chilli soy beef skewers and sesame spinach should not be missed. 

Choose where you eat based on your mood. You can dine with a crowd in the cavernous main dining area, sit at the sushi or robata counter and watch chefs slicing and grilling, or eat in the more informal lounge upstairs.
