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.

    Really enjoyed the food except for one dish which had three lettuce wraps along side the tuna sashimi. Servers were very helpful, pleasant, informative and friendly. Be ready for a very loud experience while Nobu is in the current location, as they are in a temporary site present.

    Dear Carl, Thank you for your feedback and for dining with us. We are delighted you enjoyed the food and service, our team will be happy to hear your kind words!

    Ndpilile, I may be butchering her name, but she was amazing. It was my first time dining at Nobu, she helped me to appreciate the food experience. She absolutely captured our taste and designed a menu with variety, taste sensations and so pleasing to eye. I think without her, I may have lost the essence of the experience. Thank you so much, I think I actually hugged her before I left. 😍
