Fodor's Expert Review Zuma

There are quite a few high-end Asian restaurants in Dubai that also house fabulous cocktail bars, (also of note, Okku, Hakkasan, and Play) but Zuma is possibly the most consistent. Its proximity to the Financial Center means there's always a healthy work crowd; ergo the dress code is fairly corporate. Differentiated areas within the drinking zones mean there's something for most, with a sake bar, casual lounge, and private areas. Cocktails are the drink of choice, with plenty of old-fashioned styling (ice carving and the like), with the obligatory blending of eastern flavors.
