Co-founded and created by Rainer Becker in London, Zuma will bring a flavour of its award-winning contemporary Japanese cuisine, and signature informal izakaya dining concept, to the Doha’s Al Maha Island for a limited time pop-up in line with the FIFA World Cup 2022.
The brand’s latest location will open its doors from November 2022 until March 2023 and will feature the signature sushi counter, robata grill, lounge and bar, in addition to a stunning terrace and private dining room, overlooking the Qatari Sea.
Guests will be able to enjoy the full selection of Zuma’s award-winning, world-class signature dishes, Spicy Beef Tenderloin with Sesame; Black Cod marinated in Miso; and Grilled Seabass with Chilli and Ginger, accompanied by an innovative range of drinks designed perfectly to complement the award-winning cuisine. Throughout the season, a live DJ will enhance the venue's vibrant atmosphere, providing an elegant, lively and immersive experience.
In partnership with one of the biggest companies in hospitality and food services chain in Qatar, Aura Group, the opening of the location on Al Maha Island will further widen the range of dining options available to the teeming tourists and visitors expected in Qatar during and after the much-anticipated FIFA World Cup 2022.
Rainer Becker, Creator and Co-Founder of Zuma, said: “We are extremely excited to be launching our pop-up in Doha to showcase Zuma in Qatar in the lead up to the FIFA World Cup 2022. Al Maha Island will be a hub of activity during this time and the culinary scene will be unrivalled, and we are very proud to be a part of the euphoria.”
“We look forward to welcoming Qatari residents and tourists from across the globe to experience Zuma and enjoy a dynamic dining experience throughout the winter season,” added Becker.
