dining Bahrainthismonth.com 44 July 2023 One can say with ease that Maki is one of the very best restaurants in the Kingdom making it a much-loved dining venue for visitors and residents alike. Over the years, this culinary destination has perfected and reinvigorated its menu to make every experience truly memorable. So, when I heard of Maki’s reopening following an extensive renovation, I was beyond enthused to revisit what is one of my favourite restaurants, whether night or day. In my eyes, Maki had already achieved perfection when it comes to its ambiance, menu and service; was it possible to raise the bar even higher? Walking into Maki early one evening I was thrilled to explore its new interiors inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-sabi. To explain, Wabi-sabi is the view or thought of finding beauty in every aspect of imperfection in nature. It is about the aesthetic of things in existence, that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. With the concept in mind, the restaurant has taken on a new, refreshing identity that is bright and airy reflecting an authentic and organic feel. These elements are seen across both floors with light wooden details, warm lighting and even a stunning bronze ceiling upstairs. The interiors are undeniably welcoming. Maki Bahrain, located at the Bahrain World Trade Centre, has long been known for its phenomenal fusion Japanese cuisine.
