The story
On Raphael Street, just moments from Harrods, Zuma brings a polished interpretation of the Japanese Izakaya tradition to London. The cuisine here is classified as Japanese Contemporary — rooted in the shared-plate ethos of a classic izakaya, yet refined with modern precision. The menu focuses on robata-grilled dishes, sushi, and sashimi, all designed for grazing across a table of friends or colleagues.
The space itself matches the energy of the food. A lively bar and lounge sit at the heart of the restaurant, with counter dining that puts the kitchen’s craft on display. For quieter moments, there are private rooms and an outdoor terrace. The sake list is notable, and wine pairings are available to deepen the experience. Lunch and dinner are served daily, and takeaway is also offered.
Michelin has awarded Zuma a Recommended status, recognising its ability to deliver a consistently high-level contemporary Japanese experience in one of London’s most competitive dining neighbourhoods.
