Dubai Restaurants

  1. Sumibiya

    Japanese BBQ-grill cooking (aka Yakiniku) is the specialty at Sumibiya, and every table has a recessed fire grill. Though the Wagyu beef and seafood run high, the set menus of various meat-and-veggie combos are a relative bargain. There's nothing romantic about the narrow windowless room, but it's great fun for families or groups of foodie friends. If you can't bear to cook your own dinner, fried-rice dishes spare you the trouble.

  2. Tokyo@Thetowers

    We're torn about T@T. While it serves brilliant sashimi and some of the freshest, perkiest, shiniest sushi in town, the prices are ridiculous, there's no din and the views from the corridor-like dining room are of a shopping mall - a big letdown when you consider its location in one of Dubai's iconic towers. Try Kiku first, but keep this in your back pocket if they're booked.
