ROKA Restaurants

Roka is a meeting place where food and drinks are shared with friends (ro) and heat, warmth and an all-embracing energy surround (ka). The principle cuisine is from the Robata grill, which originates from the fishermen of the northern coastal waters off Japan, who would cook the fish on the boats with different charcoals and share the bounty with one another using their oars. Having started back in 2004 in London the brand has grown to 4 sites within the English capital. We added ROKA Dubai as the first international location in early 2020 are now look forward to expanding into new markets in the Middle East. Luxury and world-renowned Japanese cuisine cooked over our famous robatayaki grill and served in all-embracing high-energy environment with personalised charismatic service is what our guests have been enjoying for almost 20 years with no sign of stopping!
