Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Plan transport. If coming from Business Bay metro, allow for a taxi or bus rather than expecting a short walk.

Try outdoors. Choose outdoor seating in good weather; one reviewer particularly enjoyed the Burj Khalifa-facing view.

The Bottom Line

KOBEYa is a gluten-free Japanese and pan-Asian restaurant in Jumeirah, with a café and attached retail shop. It gives diners a broad way to eat gluten-free, from breakfast staples such as Eggs Benedict and avo toast to Japanese and Asian mains. The Kobe Sukiyaki Don, Vietnamese spring rolls and Japanese cheesecake are the clearest review-backed reasons to visit.

The setting is a big part of the appeal: reviewers describe pastel interiors, calm Japanese music, indoor and outdoor seating, and a Burj Khalifa-facing outdoor area. Families are catered for, with kids’ dishes and vegan options, while the shop adds a useful stop for gluten-free and organic goods from Japan and Thailand. Service is usually described as warm and attentive, although one visit found a single staff member covering every table and the drinks.

Food opinions are not completely consistent. Several diners loved the ramen, burgers and desserts, but one found the ramen broth overwhelmingly mushroom-heavy and the mac and cheese short on cheese. A recent visit also reported construction, humidity and a smaller-than-expected kids’ burger patty.

The location may require a taxi or bus from Business Bay metro; if you are driving, an older review mentions free parking underneath Wasl Vita Mall.
