Hotly anticipated Zuma Riyadh is now open
The long awaited Zuma Riyadh is the latest addition to the dining scene in KAFD…
Riyadh’s dining scene has had some excellent servings of internationally-renowned talent in recent years. Names like Scott’s, Mr Chow, LPM and Signor Sassi are just a handful of the major global players that have landed in the Saudi capital. But now one of the biggest names in the business – Zuma – has joined them, as the hit Japanese restaurant is finally open in KAFD
You can now make reservations for both lunch and dinner via zumarestaurant.com.
The two-floor restaurant is all sleek and sophisticated, oozing the same modern Izakaya cool that you’ll find in Zuma restaurants around the world. Guests are welcomed into the ground floor restaurant, where you’ll find interactive sushi and robata counters. Then you’re invited to dine in the vibrant restaurant, one of three private dining rooms, and enjoy sips at the sophisticated bar or signature lounge. As is customary of Zuma venues, music plays a big part – and as such the DJ counter is the place to see and be seen for a high-octane evening of enjoying the beats.
On the menu, Zuma favourites now available to diners in Riyadh include miso marinated black cod, salt grilled seabass wit burnt tomato, and of course the sliced yellowtail. There’s also a few Riyadh signatures to check out, like the exclusive dessert of ajwa date and miso toffee cake, paired with ginger crumble poached pairs and a mochi ice cream.
The opening of Zuma Riyadh is a partnership between Zuma and MJS Holding, the Saudi-born hospitality company behind acclaimed restaurants including Il Baretto, AOK Kitchen, Mr Chow and Ruya.
Zuma Riyadh is in good company in its new KAFD location. This futuristic financial district is already home to Mr Chow, famed for its Beijing duck and handmade noodle show; London-born Italian, Il Baretto, known and loved in equal measure for its live music nights and delectable Italian fare; and Chalmont, a dreamy fine-dining restaurant that serves up timeless French classics and recipes.
