Review bydevanshi mody12/10/2007
The popularity of Nobu might detract attention from this glamorous, ground-breaking Japanese restaurant, but for Japanese food Zuma remains the funkiest restaurant in Knightsbridge, if not in London.

The Venue
The swanky wood, granite and stone interior never fails to astonish. Be sure to check out the stunning open robata grill, and the sensational cocktail bar never fails to astonish.

The Atmosphere
The place throbs with the trendiest and everything and everyone about this place exudes style. If the service at times can appear a bit slow, it’s because the restaurant is always so full that the courteous staff simply cannot cope with all the orders.

The Food
Zuma’s Japanese fusion food is nothing short of flawless. The tasting menu is fantastic, but at practically £100.00 you might want to settle for the a la carte menu unless it’s a special occasion. Everything on the a la carte menu looks so fabulous that you might well end up spending even more.

Recommend dishes include the exquisite sea bass with yuzu, truffle oil and salmon roe, baked sea bream in sea salt with seaweed, garlic and ginger. But if you want to really treat yourself, then it has to be lobster with spicy ponzu sauce or wagyu beef with soy and wasabi. The tofu selection is arguably London’s best as is the chocolate fondant and you’ll be torn between this and the exotica on the dessert menu.

The Drink
Zuma is a contender for London’s best cocktail list but unfortunately you’ll be waiting quite a while for each drink. The wine list is well constructed and includes a superb selection of sakes.

The Last Word
Zuma is a delightful addiction, if you can afford it. Your meal here will be a truly special occasion.
