Whether you’re craving a bowl of something warm, flavoursome, and slurp-worthy, or your heart is set on the world-famous chicken katsu curry, this pan-Asian favourite continues to prove why it’s the UAE’s home of feel-good dining. Cosy, casual, and made for everyone – this is where comfort is always on the table.

The home of pan-asian comfort food

Some dishes are trends. Some are passing cravings. And then there’s the OG global favourite – the chicken katsu curry – a plate so iconic, it practically defines comfort. Golden, crispy, drenched in that rich and velvety curry sauce… you know the one. At Wagamama, it’s always there waiting to wrap you up like a warm hug.

But that’s only the beginning. From steaming ramen bowls to zingy donburi, nourishing teppanyaki and lighter sides packed with bold Asian flavours, every dish is prepared fresh, no microwaves, no heat lamps, no shortcuts. Just good food that makes you feel even better.

‘Come as you are. Dig in. Feel good.’

Wagamama’s new campaign tagline is more than a slogan – it’s the spirit of the place. There’s no dressing up required. No fancy reservations. No pressure.Whether you’re popping in post-gym, grabbing lunch between university lectures, or settling in for a chilled family dinner with a kids’ menu, a child-friendly ambience, and Sunday kids’ cooking classes at select outlets, this is a space where everyone’s welcome.

Solo diners, families, friends, students, workers… pull up a bench and tuck into something delicious. It’s dining that feels warm, familiar, and wonderfully unfussy – the way comfort food should be.
