Gourmet Guide™ Description

The Japanese welcome ‘irasshaimase’ resonates in the triple volume space when chanted loudly on your arrival at Nobu, in the One&Only Cape Town. Chef Prajal Rana may be a newcomer to South Africa, but not to the Nobu kitchen, having notched up nearly a decade with them. The international brand is synonymous with creativity, precision, attention to detail and excellent quality.

Immerse yourself in the main, multi-course or omakase menu, or take a seat at the sushi bar. Sushi at Nobu is the real deal, an authentic representation of a craft that requires many years to perfect. The ultimate sushi – eel with avocado and tempura crumb on the outside – will be topped with spicy prawn and chilli threads. The salad of baby spinach with Parmesan, fried leek and dried miso with a ponzu and truffle oil dressing is a reminder that fresh ingredients play a vital role in the Nobu kitchen.

As the tempting tempura kingklip with melon and coriander is served, sake will enter the equation. Not just any sake, the selection is as notable as the wine spectrum. The spicy beef, seared with Peruvian ancho chilli, can take its rightful place on the stage before one of the lip-smacking desserts, like the Japanese cheesecake, seals the sweet deal.

Prajal prides himself on his unique culinary style, a union of the creative craft and precise skill of a Nobu master. No surprise that his preference is for Japanese cuisine, but Prajal states that other Asian countries and their rich cultures such as Taiwan and Singapore, have influenced his culinary journey. His environment, from nature to people, inspires him.

    There was a big group of Chinese diners and they were making g a lot of noise which spoiled my dining experience. So I had to rush my dinner and leave.

    The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. I especially loved the Wagyu steak and Black Cod Miso, they were just perfect. The service was outstanding! Our waitress, Asi, was so sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed with a smile. She really made the experience even more enjoyable. The whole team was welcoming and warm, and the little birthday sweet was such a lovely surprise. Thank you for making my evening special. I will definitely be coming back!

    Dear Iman, Thank you for joining us for dinner, and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are thrilled your evening was nothing short of exceptional, moreover, that Asi's service left such a wonderful impression. We have passed your kind words on to her, and she was beaming with pride to hear it! We cannot wait to welcome you back again soon for another memorable visit. Until then, take care. Kind regards, Eva Mabila Assistant Food & Beverage Manager
