I have too other Zuma restaurants. Zuma Dubai was the best. The decoration is really exclusive, food and service were perfect. The diversity and the quality of the guests is impressive. There is people from all round the world. The music volume was perfect, allowing to talk and understand each other.

I went with a business colleague after hearing a lot about Zuma and after eating in the adjacent restaurant previously. The food is exceptional. We asked the French Manageress to choose a selection of food for us and what we got was amazing, consisting of some sushi, the Amazing Black Cod and a signature teryaki beef dish which was also...

There are lots of very good restaurants in Dubai so why Zuma? Well the food is outstanding. I had the beef and it has got to be the best cut of beef I have had in Dubai. The vegetable (as recommended) we fresh and cooked to perfection. The food was well displayed and presented and overall service attentive without being... More

Business lunch - haven't been in the UAE for a couple of years, and this felt like the consummate Dubai experience: fashionable location, valet parking and very good food. We ate from the fixed menu for speed - four courses, each small but delicious, and special mention for the signature black cod and prawn. Service pretty much faultless - all... More

Zuma brunch is a must if you love Japanese food. Usually the place is pretty expensive so on a brunch you get to try out all their signature dishes as well as their sushi and desserts! My only advice is to go very hungry and make the most of it!

Top refinement in the mix of savors, presentation and taste. I previously went to Zuma in London and NY and was wondering whether the Dubai version would be up to the expectations and, it is! My best of: the wagyu beef, the black cod, the toro (fatty tuna) and the hamachi for the sashimis, the banana cake for desert. I... More

Well, the food is similar to the London location and one can hardly quibble about it. You can't be disappointed by the selection, quality, presentation and taste. If it is your thing, the bar is hopping with activity. But, what puzzles me is why does the staff have such an attitude. Hey I am paying so I should be the... More
