Benihana Ibn Battuta Opens in Dubai, Bringing Live Teppanyaki Dining to a New Generation of Food Lovers

Benihana Ibn Battuta 

Dubai has welcomed a new destination for Japanese dining with the official opening of Benihana Ibn Battuta at Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel Dubai.

The arrival of the internationally recognised teppanyaki restaurant brings Benihana's famous combination of Japanese cuisine, live cooking and tableside entertainment to the hotel's ground floor, creating a lively dining experience for families, friends and groups.

Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Dubai is located next to Ibn Battuta Mall and the Dubai Metro, making the new restaurant a convenient option for visitors exploring Dubai. The hotel currently promotes Benihana dining experiences as part of its guest offerings.

Live Teppanyaki Takes Centre Stage

At Benihana Ibn Battuta, dining becomes part meal and part performance.

Expert chefs prepare food directly in front of guests on traditional steel teppan grills, combining precision cooking with theatrical techniques that have made the Benihana concept famous around the world.

Guests can watch chefs demonstrate impressive knife skills and signature tricks, including the celebrated egg-juggling performance, while enjoying freshly prepared Japanese dishes.

The tableside format also creates a social atmosphere, making the restaurant particularly suited to birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings and evenings with friends.

Premium Japanese Cuisine and A5 Wagyu

The menu focuses on Benihana's signature teppanyaki experience while offering an extensive selection of Japanese dishes.

One of the highlights is Japanese A5 Wagyu Teppanyaki, known for its rich flavour, buttery texture and exceptionally tender finish.

Other menu highlights include the Godzilla Roll, topped with lightly torched wagyu beef, truffle sauce and edible gold flakes, together with sushi, sashimi and seasonal specialities.

For diners looking for a communal Japanese experience, Benihana Ibn Battuta also offers Shabu Shabu, featuring umami-rich dashi broth, premium marbled beef, fresh vegetables and traditional dipping sauces.

A Vibrant Sushi and Seafood Bar

The 95-seat restaurant also features an open sushi and seafood bar where diners can enjoy fresh sashimi and signature sushi rolls.

The combination of teppanyaki tables, sushi and Shabu Shabu gives guests several ways to experience Japanese cuisine under one roof.

Private and semi-private dining arrangements can also be accommodated upon request, making the restaurant suitable for small celebrations and group occasions.
