The Sushi Bar Omakase Dining experience offers guests the service of highly skilled chefs who will entertain them with their artistic performance as they prefer their favourite Sushi combinations.

The original inspiration for Nozomi was a fusion of entertainment and dinning, with the aim to offer a unique lifestyle experience. Its culinary style is best described as contemporary Japanese infused with European subtleties. 

Marios Georges, NOZOMI Founder, said: “Our philosophy is to combine a fine dining experience with a genuine entertainment feel. Our ambition is to open NOZOMI restaurants all over the world, and that’s why expanding our Doha restaurant was crucial to realizing this vision.”

The upstairs restaurant features 36 seats, eight on the new sushi bar, and another 44 on the terrace. Both floors have outdoor seating with stunning views over the palatial hotel and the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf.
