I’m completely a regular at Takahisa. I always have the best dining experience here. I can enjoy the freshest ingredients sourced from Japan, prepared by top chefs, and served by the best staff. Everything was delicious, but the crab risotto was especially amazing.

One of the best places in Dubai to visit both with kids and without them. There is a new playground area outside with comfy seating right next to it, which is very convenient for parents. Loved it.
