This month, contemporary Japanese robatayaki restaurant ROKA is celebrating its first anniversary in Dubai. Located in ME Dubai within The Opus by Omniyat, its unique style of contemporary Japanese cooking and urban design has made the venue a Downtown hotspot.
To celebrate the milestone, ROKA will be launching two tasting menus that will showcase the Dubai restaurant’s most popular dishes as well as ROKA signature dishes. Guests will have a hard time choosing between the two menus, both designed to be enjoyed by the whole table.
The Seasonal Tasting Menu (380 AED pp) includes 10 dishes, such as the iconic Iceberg lettuce with caramelised onion dressing, unassuming ROKA baked potato with yuzu cream & chives and signature dish Beef fillet, chili, ginger & spring onion. The Premium Tasting Menu (550 AED pp) features 12 dishes such as the Yellowtail sashimi with yuzu-truffle dressing, a dish made famous in London, the famous Black cod marinated in yuzu miso and Rice hotpot with japanese mushrooms, mountain vegetables & shaved truffle. Both menus end on a sweet note with the showstopping ROKA dessert platter and a drink paring menu available upon request.
ROKA co-founder Rainer Becker, explains, “Our opening year in Dubai has been a success despite the obvious challenges. Dubai has welcomed ROKA with open arms and the restaurant has become a neighborhood venue for the Dubai community. Our anniversary has given us the opportunity to create two special tasting menus, a great way for us to demonstrate the very best of what ROKA has to offer.”
