dining Ready to SUSHISAMBA! The world-renowned restaurant SUSHISAMBA has been the talk of the town since it opened atop Conrad Bahrain Financial Harbour. With a fantastic blend of cuisines, a breathtaking view of the city and a vibrant atmosphere, Farah Baig was charmed by her SUSHISAMBA experience this month. Bahrain’s burgeoning hospitality industry is constantly drumming up attention among diners with the opening of new restaurants across the island. While this might be the case, none have garnered the level of excitement as seen with the opening of SUSHISAMBA. The restaurant has a presence in Las Vegas, London, Dubai, Doha and Edinburgh; so, naturally, the addition of Bahrain to its roster is exciting. The question one might ask now is: Ok, but what’s all the fuss about? Well, what I can tell you is that SUSHISAMBA has a very unique take on Japanese, Peruvian and Brazilian cuisine, all in a fun and creative atmosphere. All dressed up and ready to devour the experience, I made my way to the top floor of Conrad Bahrain Financial Harbour one evening. From the moment the elevator doors opened, I could tell it was going to be a memorable evening – the venue was absolutely buzzing. Upbeat music, the banter of happy diners and rich aromas filled the air. Our warm hosts gave us a tour of the venue and revealed fantastic indoor and outdoor seating options, but with temperatures on the higher end, being seated indoors was the natural choice. As we scoured the printed set menus before us, it was clear that we had a veritable feast in store for us. Celebrating the fantastic night of dining ahead, we clinked our creatively concocted mocktails. Now for the food. Starting off our experience were the delightfully crisp, thin and colourful Samba Chips and Edamame with sea salt and lime. These were followed by the Wagyu Gyoza with kabocha puree and sweet soy which was made with high-quality A5 Wagyu beef. Scooping up some of the puree with the dumplings, we took our first bite Bahrainthismonth.com 68 August 2024
