The Istanbul branch of this chic Japanese restaurant is on a par with its London, Dubai and other outposts. That means top-notch ingredients that are showcased by a contemporary approach to authentic Japanese cuisine. On the menu: sushi (you can watch the chef meticulously preparing it at the counter), tempura, fish from the robata grill, vegetarian options… There's so much to choose from! Replete with subtle East Asian nuances, the ingredient-led, intensely flavoursome dishes never fail to hit the mark. The gyoza, filled with minced beef and lamb and seasoned with paprika, chilli, sesame and lemongrass, are simply irresistible. Rest assured: The cosmopolitan Zuma feels right at home amid the most exclusive fashion boutiques of Istinye Park shopping centre.
