SushiSamba

The atmosphere is deliberately high-energy and theatrical, combining panoramic views with DJ programming, disco balls, and a service format designed around spectacle and sharing. On Thursdays, the dining room transforms into a dancefloor with live music and samba performances as a distinct weekly format separate from the regular dinner service. The open kitchen adds a performance layer to the standard dining experience, with chefs visible behind the robata grill throughout service. The World's 50 Best describes the venue as a "carnival of diners, drinkers, dancers, DJs and disco balls." The crowd is international and consistently well-dressed, with both hotel guests and the broader Dubai social circuit represented across any given evening.

The menu maps a culinary journey from Japan through Peru to Brazil across small plates, raw preparations, robata grill, and clay pots. Standouts include lamb chops with Peruvian aji panca and sesame, sea bream ceviche with green chilli and panca oil, crispy tofu taquitos in spicy ginger soy, salmon ceviche with passionfruit and aji amarillo, charcoal-grilled short ribs in chimichurri, and the Samba Maki rolls. The robata grill is the kitchen's centrepiece, producing brilliantly roasted meats, fish, and vegetables throughout service. The cocktail program draws from the Zodiac and Brazilian carnival traditions. The wine list holds a Star Wine List White Star recognition. A AED 250 per person cancellation fee applies within 24 hours of reservation.
