Zuma
/
Located in the international financial centre, at the heart of the city Zuma offers guests contemporary Japanese cuisine in the vicinity of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
The restaurants is spread across 2 floors, connected by a dramatic staircase and boasts a wonderful vibe which takes you from the working week into the weekend.
The menu features modern Japanese cuisine that is authentic but not traditional. The menu showcases a variety of dishes from its three kitchens: the main kitchen, the sushi counter and the robata grill.
We loved tasting our way through the menu. Everything we tasted was delicious. Highlights included the Hamachi usuzukuri pirikara, ninniku gake which is sliced exceedingly fresh yellowtail, green chilli relish, ponzu and pickled garlic. This was an explosion of textures and flavours. The Miso marinated black cod wrapped in hoba leaf was similarly delicious. An iconic Zuma dish – we loved the oily textured skin slathered in umami laden miso. Just. Yum.
Whatever you do, do not leave without trying the sushi and sashimi at Zuma. These guys know how to source the best produce. Expect mouth-watering sushi and nigari prepared perfectly and you can even get freshly grated wasabi to accompany it all.
A visit to Zuma would of course be incomplete without their famous dessert platter. Looks impressive and tastes equally good, the platter is full of goodies like melt in your mouth Chawan mushi with exotic fruits and the most delectably rich chocolate fondant.
