Zuma Dubai

During our vacation, we wanted to enjoy Japanese cuisine and sushi, and of course Zuma Dubai was our first choice. Upon arrival, the waiter was very friendly and showed us to our table. The restaurant itself is truly beautiful. The interior is stylish, the atmosphere very cozy, and the music pleasant and well chosen, which really enhances the overall dining experience. We eventually decided on a large platter with a variety of delicious nigiri. The toro (fatty tuna belly) was outstanding, and my sashimi was of absolute top quality. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her three different sushi rolls. Our children were also very well taken care of and loved the food – they had yakitori skewers and gyoza, both of which were delicious. The dessert was equally sensational, beautifully presented on ice with plenty of fresh fruit, which especially impressed our children. Of course, you should expect that it is not inexpensive. Food and drinks came to a total of 1,600 dirhams totally worth it !!!

Ambiance is really good. Good music. Beautiful crowd. Good layout. Interior aged well. Quiet luxury i would say.. Easy on the senses and will not be just another hip place. Noticed the heavy chairs didn’t make sound when you reposition yourself. Nothing worse than annoying sound of chair legs dragging across the floor. Food wise is good. Some amazing plates. I wouldn’t bother ordering sushi as fresh produce can be had in any major cities with enough accessibility. Save the space for other items in the menu. Some outstanding dishes we had were: -kinoko kamameshi with truffle (simple but super tasty) -grilled lamb ribs (what a kick) -miso black cod (best one according to kids) -grilled octopus (super well prepared) Least favorite dish were -spicy beef tenderloin. -beef skewers Service was top notch. They knew how to provide good service without being intrusive. Patrick and the other guy from Ghana did us a solid.

We finally tried the Ebisu business lunch at Zuma Dubai and it absolutely lived up to expectations. From the appetizers all the way to dessert, everything was beautifully executed. The steak was a standout, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Even the desserts impressed me, and I’m usually not someone who gravitates toward sweets, but I genuinely enjoyed them. For the quality and experience (service could have been warmer), the business lunch is definitely worth the money. A must-try, and we will definitely be back.

We visited Zuma Dubai, which was voted the best branch in Dubai for 2025 We've been here many times at the night, but this was our first time for brunch. It was crowded with many people and before I knew it, the place was fully booked. The food is generally tasty, with plenty of options to choose from, including beef, seafood, and sushi. There were so many desserts I wanted to try that it was hard to choose. The Japanese sake was not that great, but the sparkling sake was easy to drink. We would like to have a professional Sake Sommelier select delicious sake for us, so we will come again at night.

I have been to many Zuma restaurants, but this one was one of the weaker experiences. Zuma locations usually offer great views and a stylish atmosphere, but this one felt quite average and did not really have a view. The food was also average and far too expensive for what was offered. We ordered several items from the special menu, and unfortunately they were disappointing as well. Overall, I would not recommend this location. It might be worth trying during lunchtime, as they may offer better value with lunch specials.
