The story
Zuma sits in Gate Village 6, within Dubai International Financial Centre, bringing its signature Japanese contemporary cuisine to the city. The restaurant is part of the global Zuma family, known for its sophisticated izakaya-style approach.
The atmosphere blends energy with polish — a bar, outdoor seating, and a notable sake list complement the kitchen’s work. Zuma serves lunch and dinner, and its brunch has become a fixture on the Dubai calendar. The menu rotates through the seasons, but the kitchen’s focus on clean, precise Japanese contemporary flavours remains constant.
The Michelin guide awarded Zuma a Recommended status in 2026, a nod to its consistent execution and the quality of its cooking. The space accommodates private parties, chef’s table experiences, and events, while the cocktail programme draws a crowd that stays late. Outdoor seating offers a chance to dine al fresco in the DIFC district.
With table service, valet parking, and wheelchair access, Zuma is set up for a wide range of occasions. The restaurant also offers takeaway for those who want to enjoy its food at home.
