SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi Is A Roaring Good Time

SUSHISAMBA is a marriage of the best flavours from Japan, Brazil and Peru. From sushi to anticuchos and ceviches, fiery robata-grilled meats and (the star of the show) impeccable sushi, SUSHISAMBA’s small plate-style menu is made for sharing - and dabbling in plenty of different dishes. Executive Chef Obed Villegas is doing great things at SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi - the only question left to ponder is when will you be visiting?

Ok, we hear you - SUSHISAMBA doesn’t come cheap, but we’d argue that it’s definitely worth it. Saturday’s Rio Brunch is a roaring good time - energetic, excellent food, flowing drinks and show-stopping entertainment. Hit up the Alegria Lunch Friday & Sunday for some upscale a la carte weekend vibes. Looking for an entry level way to get a taste of that signature SUSHISAMA flair? Hit up their Sunset Social every weekday. See what we love about them all below!

Sunset Social

Monday - Friday | 5.30PM - 7PM

‍

Every weekday, unwind after work or enjoy a top notch pre-dinner drink and bite with Sunset Social. Sip your way through a selection of caipirinhas (AED50), grapes (from AED50) or hops (AED40), each served with a delicious bite to compliment your drink: edamame, salmon tartare, calamari with yuzu mayo, shrimp tempura or little bites of heaven in the form of a chicken taquito (aji panca, garlic, charred pineapple salsa and avocado - yum!). The bites aren’t huge, but they are delicious, and we can’t go past the caipirinha with pandan, it’s a big winner for us!

Rio Brunch

Every Saturday | 12.30PM - 4PM

‍

After popular demand, this monthly brunch has now moved to weekly, kicking off every Saturday - and we sure are happy about it! SUSHSISAMBA’s Rio Brunch is hands down one of the hottest tickets in town, and it’s no wonder. A unique and delicious blend of Peruvian, Japanese and Brazilian flavours has won them fans around the globe, and it’s easy to see why - the food is absolutely excellent. Every dish lands on the table looking pretty as a picture, with taste to match, and the sushi and yakitori buffet alone could fill you up - and lure you back for seconds and thirds. Melt-in-the-mouth steak, perfectly cooked cod, the crispiest tacos with just the right amount of kick - not to mention light and tangy ceviche, the best guac ever and glorious desserts to finish? What a display from the kitchen! Speaking of a show - the glamorous dancers make their rounds throughout, and good luck staying in your seat: it’s a fabulous touch and tonnes of fun. 

Drinks are a delight - and even the mocktails really pull their weight, and there isn’t a bad seat in the house: views across the water and lush greenery of the restaurant make for a high-end feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you park at SUSHISAMBA?

There's two options for parking at SUSHISAMABA: either drive right up to the front door, and take advantage of their valet service (free of charge for guests, just grab a stamp on the way out) or you can park underground at Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers and walk down.

Getting a taxi is also super easy - your taxi can drop you at the front of the restaurant (rather than getting dropped at the Conrad lobby, which requires a bit of a walk down to SUSHISAMBA).

‍

I'm vegetarian - is there much for me?

We've loved the vegetarian dishes at SUSHISAMBA just as much as the meat and fish dishes every time we've visited. The staff can help with recommendations as well, but you won't go hungry - and dessert is definitely well worth saving room for! 

‍

Does SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi have a dress code?

This is definitely a venue for dressing up - especially during Rio Brunch on Saturdays. Offically, it's smart elegant- avoid sportswear, beachwear and open-toed shoes or shorts for the guys.
