The Robata promises Dubai’s most exclusive robatayaki selection

The new restaurant has debuted at Caesars Palace Dubai.

Between 23-karat edible gold sundaes and otoro-and-kaluga-caviar toasts, Dubai’s dining scene unapologetically caters to those with a taste for extravagance — but authenticity often falls by the wayside in the process. The newly launched The Robata at Caesars Palace Dubai, however, pairs traditional Japanese techniques and the finest Japanese ingredients with designer tableware and an exclusive beverage menu.

Deriving its name from ‘robatayaki’ – which translates to ‘fireside cooking’ in Japanese – The Robata Dubai is the latest concept from the founders of TakaHisa. It’s also the home of Dubai’s first Omakase Yakiniku menu, with authentic techniques by masterchef Kenichi Osato, who boasts 30 years of experience in high-end Yakiniku restaurants. This concept uses the finest ingredients and fish, sold at the best price of the day, from Toyosu Market in Tokyo. Alternatively, diners can also experience the Japanese shabu-shabu hotpot omakase course using A5 Kobe beef (Beef Marbling Standard 12), the traditional Japanese tempura course, and the charcoal grill menu.

Working alongside Osato, sushi masterchef Tatsuro Mitsuyasu from Japan was the chef at Sushi Kimura, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore. The Robata offers not only authentic sushi courses, but also charcoal-seared sushi made with a twist using flames. The à la carte menu is also extensive. One of the signature dishes is the charcoal-grilled Nodoguro rice made with the most expensive fish in Japan, one that’s famed for its delicate and slightly sweet flavour. Incidentally, The Robata only uses the finest brand of Nodoguro, Benihitomi.

Described as an art form due to the skill and technique needed to prepare food perfectly, the robatayaki chefs are experienced in using their senses to monitor grilling time since cooking temperatures can’t be controlled. Fresh from the hearth grill, The Robata serves the world’s highest-ranking A5 Kobe Beef that arrives juicy on the inside with a crisp and smoky crust.

Like TakaHisa, guests at The Robata Dubai can expect their order served inside designer luggage — there’s also a fashionable barista set on display that’s used for the daily flare show. Bonus: beachside views of the Persian Gulf are guaranteed, whether you’re dining indoors or in the picturesque gardens surrounding the restaurant.
