Buddha-Bar Turns 20, Unveils Sakura’s Secret, An Immersive Dining Experience With Pan-Asian Glam & Performances!

Buddha-Bar opened its doors in Dubai in 2005. It continues to welcome guests to its impressive Grosvenor House on the edge of Dubai Marina. Buddha-Bar can be credited with putting pan-Asian dishes on the map in Dubai, and while many have since followed suit, it remains home to one of the most impressive menus in the city. And now to amplify, Buddha Bar has unveiled a new addition for the month. Sakura Secret has arrived in Dubai at Buddha Bar, and it will blossom every week from Tuesday to Sunday.

Launching on 15 May at 7 pm, Sakura’s Secret isn’t your average weekly event, it’s Buddha-Bar’s bold new chapter in motion. Expect immersive theatrics, aesthetic lighting, hypnotic music and an energy that shifts as the evening unfolds. It runs every Tuesday through Sunday, so you’ve got five golden chances a week to catch the magic. Pro tip? Book in advance, seats are already in demand.

As you savour Buddha-Bar’s legendary pan-Asian creations, the space around you comes alive. Dancers glide. Visuals pop. Beats drop. The line between performance and reality blurs. And then? Just when you think the curtain’s fallen, it’s time for the after-party.

Tokyo 2000s kicks off at Tanoshi Bar and Lounge, wrapping the night in a vibe that screams old-school Tokyo nightlife. It’s complete with plush velvets, moody lighting, and cocktails that pack a punch. It’s loud, luxe, and unapologetically electric.

Twenty Years In The Making

Buddha-Bar Dubai turned 20! The arrival of Sakura’s Secret marks not just a new experience, but a whole new era. The venue’s revamp includes a sleek new aesthetic, where traditional Japanese charm meets Tokyo’s edgy glam.

From the moment you walk in, you’ll spot the shift. The interiors now feature deeper textures, elegant golds, and bold new communal tables at the Sodo Bar designed to bring people together.

Sakura’s Secret Is Out! 

Dubai has no shortage of glitzy dining spots. But Sakura’s Secret brings something rare to the table. It’s a feast for the senses with a cheeky after-party as your grand finale.

The secret is out, and it’s blooming in the heart of Dubai Marina. Ready to uncover it? You’ve got Tuesdays to Sundays to make it happen. Just don’t forget to book.
