His leadership has not only made CLAP a symbol of luxury dining in Dubai, but also a platform for exceptional concepts like Omakase dining and exclusive certified Kobe Beef.

Savor the Best of the Robata Grill: A Japanese Culinary Journey

At CLAP DIFC, dining is an immersive experience where the delicate art of Japanese Robata grilling takes center stage. The signature Robata grill dishes at CLAP offer guests a chance to savor the perfect harmony of tender proteins and rich, smoky flavors.

Among the standout dishes is the Black Cod Miso, glazed in a sweet citrus miso sauce that infuses each bite with a luxurious tenderness. The Salmon Teriyaki is another fan favorite, perfectly grilled and complemented by a refreshing sunomono salad. For seafood lovers, the Grilled Lobster, served with umami butter and mango chili salsa, highlights the exceptional quality of ingredients used at CLAP.

For those with a penchant for indulgence, the Wagyu Beef Tenderloin is a testament to CLAP’s commitment to premium Wagyu beef, offering a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, unctuous flavor. Equally impressive is the Marinated Lamb Rack, paired with kimchi to deliver bold and complex flavors that leave a lasting impression.

Unique Starters and Signature Dishes

For starters, guests can indulge in the Hokkaido Scallops & Foie Gras, drizzled with vanilla miso, providing a delectable contrast of textures and flavors. The Wagyu Beef & Foie Gras Gyoza is another must-try dish, where premium Wagyu is paired with rich foie gras in a perfectly crafted gyoza, showcasing CLAP’s dedication to culinary artistry and premium ingredients.
