Dine at What’s On award-winning Indie Restaurant of the Year – Otoro

It was just last year when Chef Akmal Anuar, one of Dubai’s most accoladed chefs turned his attention to the capital and opened Otoro in Al Qana in March 2022. The What’s On award-winning restaurant opened just 12 months ago but has separated itself from the competitive Japanese scene in Abu Dhabi by serving up fuss-free Japanese dishes in a way that lets the best-in-class ingredients do the talking.
