Zuma is one of London’s most established Japanese dining rooms, bringing modern izakaya-inspired cooking to a glamorous Knightsbridge crowd. The space is bold and buzzing, with an open kitchen, robata grill, and a sushi counter that keeps the energy high. The menu is wide-ranging: sushi and sashimi of dependable quality, charcoal-grilled skewers, miso-marinated black cod, and indulgent wagyu dishes. It’s the sort of place where presentation is polished, cocktails are as much a draw as the food, and the dining room feels more like a scene than a retreat. While not the spot for quiet reflection, Zuma delivers consistency, a lively atmosphere, and an experience that sits firmly at the cross-section of fine dining and nightlife.
