You can literally get your wok in a few minutes. Not just woks, Order anything on the menu and it’s served quickly. . Their Chilli prawn Bao, dynamite shrimps, Katsu chicken curry, chilli Basil beef are truly a must try! Loved the gyozas and the lettuce wraps too. Absolute yum !! .

Unsik MOON: I LOVE this place! It’s a Japanese restaurant that I’ve always wanted to go to. There were no Japanese there, but it was surprising that there was a fairly authentic Japanese restaurant menu. We ordered a set of sashimi and sushi, and a ramen with Soyu-Beef. Deppanyaki is a set of rice, miso soup, and dessert, so it is cost-effective. The sashimi was fresh and the rice was delicious. I am planning to visit again when I miss Japanese sashimi and sushi. It’s a little disappointing that Miso soup is charged. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person AED 100–150
Mark Bisda: One of the best unlimited sushi promo I’ve had in a while. I enjoyed every single bite and you can definitely taste the freshness of it.

Saeed Almarar: I like the restaurant decoration, service was average compare with price that we are paying for. We ordered nearly everything, overall food was good but not worth the price at all. With the same price you go to the top fine dining in the country.

Manya Tiru: It’s located on the second floor in Madinat Zayed. There is enough sittings area, and you can opt cabin sitting too. Food is good and affordable.
Stuart McGachen: Game of two halves this venue and both of them were top class. Phenomenon levels of service in the restaurant which delivers great service alongside delightful food. One of our diners was Gluten Free and the levels of attention extended far beyond pointing out G’s on the menu. Each dish was carefully prepared and each and every one had its suitability reiterated by the server upon delivery to the table. Paid the bill and stopped by the bar for “one drink”. Cue four more drinks each and a finish with some comped shots. Bar staff are all characters and enjoy great fun while serving which only enhances the service. DJ delivers a throbbing soundtrack that perfectly enhances the evening, which is much more lively at the bar than restaurant. Any DJ that doesn’t see the job as an ego trip, but does it because they love music is already streets ahead. If you are looking for a great night out that is both unpretentious yet high end, you can do much worse.

abdo Rami: I was one of the first customers visited Cerutti when it opened, and for years now, it continues to be my favourite restaurant for many occasions, family breakfast, business lunch or just going out with friends for dinner or snack. The staff are very helpful and their customer service skill’s developed significantly. Management are very attentive to details. Best meals for me there are breakfast, mix grills, salads and pasta never disappointing. The quality of food is more than very good and the time required for preparation is fast. They have in/out door seatings arrangements, and they serve sheesha as well. their sheesha is the best and many people were ordering it. Highly recommended 👌 Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Recommended dishes Linguini Alfredo with Chicken, English Breakfast, Beef Pizza, Seafood Salad, Mint Coffee, Avocado with Honey and Nuts
