Overview

Kira Restaurant redefines modern Japanese dining in Dubai with its fusion of Tokyo's culinary precision and Dubai's legendary luxury. This award-winning venue, opened in 2021, transitions seamlessly from an elegant fine-dining establishment by night into Palm Jumeirah's most exclusive nightlife destination. Helmed by Chef [Name], Kira offers an omakase experience rivaling Tokyo's best, alongside avant-garde cocktails and breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf.

Menu

Ambiance

Kira's design is a masterclass in contemporary Japanese aesthetics - think sleek onyx surfaces, golden origami-inspired light fixtures, and an 18-seat sushi counter crafted from single-piece hinoki wood. The space transforms dramatically at night, with LED-lit floors pulsing to resident DJs and the open-air terrace offering panoramic Palm Jumeirah views. A signature 'sakura tunnel' entrance sets the tone for an immersive experience.

• Omakase Counter – 18 seats facing master chefs preparing Edomae-style sushi.
• Moonlight Terrace – Open-air lounge with fire pits and Gulf views.
• DJ Lounge – State-of-the-art sound system with international DJs after 11PM.

Cuisine

Kira's kitchen follows the Japanese 'ichiju-sansai' philosophy, balancing seasonal ingredients with technical precision.
