About Tabu
Japanese-Peruvian cooking anchors the menu here, the Nikkei crossover that plays raw fish and citrus against grilled richness, served at table with shisha available alongside — a long, slow dinner rather than a quick one. The setting inside the St Regis in Business Bay puts it within the Downtown Dubai orbit, valet at the door and private dining available for groups who want the room to themselves. Thursday through Saturday is when it fills, with lounge and chill house early giving way to commercial hits and live music as the evening builds, and a socialite-and-visitor crowd broadly in the 25-45 range. Smart casual is enforced, the $$$ band reflects the address and the imported produce, and it runs year-round rather than seasonally. Nearly a thousand Google reviews average 4.6, which for a hotel restaurant in this part of town is a strong showing. Book ahead for weekends.
