Takahisa
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
- No.41 Middle East & North Africa's 50 Best Restaurants 2025
At Takahisa, guests are treated to two of the world’s most opulent culinary offerings: world-class sushi-grade fish and A5 Kobe beef, both flown in directly from Japan. Marrying the expertise of two master chefs, sushi maestro chef Taka and Wagyu specialist chef Hisa, this luxe Dubai eatery gives off an air of refined luxury, with a minimalist design of dark wood, sleek lines and intimate lighting mirroring traditional Japanese aesthetics. The restaurant’s a la carte menu showcases these two ingredients, leading diners from delicately plated sashimi selections to melt-in-your-mouth Waygu beef preparations. There’s more than just steak and tuna on show: standouts include charcoal-grilled Wagyu tongue, wild-caught Japanese oysters and – for Dubai’s summer season – icy somen noodles in a wagyu citrus dashi. Those seduced by set menus should try the omakase sushi experience, prepared using fresh ingredients flown in from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market. If you’re opting for omakase, take a counter seat – although the restaurant has booths and tables, as well as an expansive terrace, the counter offers an intimate chef to diner experience.
