DUBAI: Japanese robatayaki restaurant ROKA celebrated its second anniversary in March at its Dubai location.

The restaurant’s unique style of contemporary Japanese cooking and urban design has made the venue a Downtown hotspot. 

The first international outpost outside London, ROKA Dubai opened its doors in March 2020 and has made its mark on the Dubai food scene. Specializing in Japanese robatayaki, ROKA Dubai captivated guests since its launch with its open kitchen and dining space.

On March 30, guests were invited to a special event to celebrate the second anniversary, with all types of Japanese dishes served including yellowtail tuna with truffle ponzu sauce and rock shrimp tempura with chili mayo.

The event also featured UAE-based New Zealand artist Gary Yong, who was painting live on a canvas as guests watched on. Yong told Arab News Japan he was very interested in the Japanese pop culture scene and took huge inspiration from anime and manga for his piece.

Yong added that he also enjoyed the industrial type of art, which was also present in his painting featuring two colorful characters across a grey background.

In celebration of the two -year anniversary, ROKA Dubai’s menu included an exclusive dish and dessert. From March 28 to April 3, ROKA will be offering Grilled Hokkaido Scallop with wasabi and shisho and a unique dessert, Crunchy Banana Ice Cream Puffs with miso-lime toffee.

In addition to its four London locations and due to its success in Dubai, ROKA quickly expanded to Istanbul, Riyadh and are soon to open in Kuwait.
