As the Operations Director of Zuma Middle East, EPJ Partner Elmar Pichorner launched the brand into the Middle East.

Zuma is located in the Dubai International Financial Center at the heart of the city, surrounded by the iconic Emirates Towers and the majestic Burj Khalifa: the world’s tallest building.

Within a spectacular interior inspired by Earth, Fire, Water and Air – the Earth’s four elements – food here is served to share. Following the izakaya style of dining, dishes are steadily brought to the table, creating an informal yet sophisticated style of eating and drinking, with a contemporary twist.

The restaurant showcases hand carved granite counters, salvaged rusted steel walls and a spectacular bamboo sculpture.
