NIRI
Contemporary Japanese
Part yakitori grill, part sushi counter, part highball bar, Niri on Mamsha Al Saadiyat is a contemporary Japanese restaurant that refuses to pick a lane, which turns out to be the point. The chef works the counter most nights, and the sashimi is best eaten there. Tea-infused cocktails and Japanese highballs keep things going well past dinner. It landed on MENA's 50 Best list, and the prices won't require a loan.
