Roka Dubai has been my list of restaurants to go to for a while and I am pleased to say that it was outstanding. Menu choice is large enough to have variety but not too big to be overwhelming. I could go on and on about great an evening we had but it’s sufficient to say it was excellent. First class service from our waitress- she deserves a mention.

This time, we dined outside. The weather was wonderful, and we were able to enjoy our meal in a very pleasant atmosphere. The service staff were attentive and thoughtful, which made the experience truly exceptional. The food was also delicious — especially the spring cabbage roll, which was outstanding. For dessert, the roasted (Hōji-mochi) ice cream was particularly delightful.
