The story
On Al Maryah Island, Zuma brings its globally recognised take on Japanese contemporary cuisine to Abu Dhabi. The restaurant operates in the izakaya style — an informal, sociable format built around small plates designed for sharing. The menu, centred on robata-grilled dishes, fresh sashimi, and flavour-packed tempura, reflects the kitchen’s focus on precision and quality ingredients.
The space itself strikes a balance between energy and refinement. A sleek bar pours an extensive selection of sake, alongside a notable wine list and creative cocktails — including the Zensekai cocktail menu. Whether you opt for lunch, dinner, or a seat at the bar, the atmosphere is polished yet relaxed, with both indoor and outdoor seating available.
Zuma Abu Dhabi has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to its consistent execution and the appeal of its contemporary Japanese offering. It’s a destination that works equally well for a business lunch, a celebratory dinner, or after-work drinks — supported by private dining rooms, valet parking, and wheelchair access.
