From our kitchen to your table at home or in our restaurant, Wakame in Downtown Dubai invites you to discover a menu of adventurous modern Asian inspired fine dining.

—— WELCOME TO WAKAME

Bao or bento, nigiri or hibachi, our dishes celebrate Japanese imported Wagyu, fish-market fresh lobster and the finest plant-based ingredients. Taking inspiration from Tokyo’s Ginza district to the foodie capital of Chengdu and from the mountains of Nepal to the street-food of Colombo, Wakame’s flavours span the Far East.

Experience the theatre of open-kitchen preparation, bar mixology and chef-selections in our family-run restaurant, or the simplicity of deluxe dining at-home with our Wakame Dubai delivery.

Wakame has been shortlisted Best/Favourite Japanese Fine Dining for the Fact Dining Awards 2021.

Meet the Team

OWNER

Saleh Al Braik

“Wakame is all about family, from the food we serve to the team at the restaurant. Working alongside my brother Alawi allows us to live the Wakame ethos of family-dining every day. My background is in finance, but my heart is with Wakame and the passionate and diverse team that make it a success.”

OWNER

Alawi Al Braik

“My love for my hometown was the fuel to bringing the miraculous flavours of Asia to Dubai. At Wakame it is in our DNA to introduce diners to the best of Asia; from Tokyo street-food to Galle-style fresh fish. When you step into Wakame we’re welcoming you into our home, because in the end, it is food & love that brings us together.”

HEAD OF MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

Tracey Meskin

“I’ve worked with some big names in hospitality over the last 16 years, but nothing feels as special as working with a family run business like Wakame. I believe that as much as the food at Wakame is truly exceptional, it’s the beautiful team that keeps diners returning.”

General Manager

Blackwell Chadzamakono

“Every day is a new opportunity to reach towards cuisine perfection, and at Wakame it’s what we strive for. I’ve spent nearly thirty years working with food and beverage in the Middle East and Africa, and my passion for quality, service, and exquisite food has grown stronger every year.”

Executive Chef

Chef Ricardo Bojador

“One of the main reasons I decided to become a chef, was watching my Mother and Grandmother in the kitchen at home. Family has always been my main inspiration, and I’m thrilled to be joining a family-run, family-owned restaurant that has earned its reputation as one of the best Asian restaurants in the UAE. What’s more, my philosophy on keeping things simple and focusing on flavour, aligns perfectly with Wakame’s innovative take on traditional Asian cuisine.”

Sales & Marketing Manager

Hanan Karim

“Wakame is where special memories are made. The team of master chefs in the kitchen plate up dishes fit for the most special occasions, the private dining room offers a charm unlike anywhere in the city, and the atmosphere at Wakame is a blend of elegance, romance, quality and service that has to be experienced to truly be appreciated.”
