Dubai’s buzzing food scene has its share of crowd-pleasers, but nothing quite like the marble bun burger at Reif Japanese Kushiyaki. Nestled in the stylish Dubai Hills Business Park, Reif Othman’s second restaurant is all grown up, serving a mix of elevated Japanese street fare in a sleek, izakaya-style setting. But let’s get right to the main attraction: a burger with marbled buns, unlike anything you’ve seen in the city.
The Marble Bun Burger That’s Turning Heads In Dubai!
The Reif’s Marble Bun Burger is a beautiful stack of flavours, each layer adding a burst of umami that’ll leave you planning your next visit before you’ve even finished the first bite. It comes with buttery otoro, Kagoshima Wagyu, and a thick bacon jam, creating a satisfying richness that feels like pure indulgence. At AED 220, it’s a splurge worth every dirham. And don’t be surprised if you start seeing this as the new Dubai food craze – it’s got all the makings of an iconic dish!
Sleek Ambience Meets Playful Vibes
Entering the Dubai Hills location, you’re greeted by a minimalist, Japanese-inspired design that’s deceptively spacious. Tables line a long, narrow dining space, leading up to a bright and open kitchen where diners can watch chefs at work. The setting balances sophistication with fun. Think light woods, vibrant artwork, and colourful trinkets that give a nod to Chef Reif’s playful personality.
The restaurant’s bar adds another layer to the experience, serving an array of cleverly crafted Japanese cocktails and a full selection of wines and beers. Lined with sapphire and magenta linen curtains, the private dining areas exude a charm that’s equal parts cosy and cool. It’s an inviting spot, and with a laid-back vibe, you can’t help but feel at home while dining here.
