Doha, Qatar: SUSHISAMBA brings its iconic energy to Doha - the brand's second location in the Middle East after capturing the world's eye with a critically acclaimed premier in Dubai last year.
Channelling its renowned tri-cultural cuisine and passion for music, art and design, SUSHISAMBA Doha will debut its signature restaurant and the very first Beach Club at the stunning Waldorf Astoria Lusail.
“We're proud to bring SUSHISAMBA to Qatar – our second destination in the Middle East. Doha is an incredibly interesting, international city, bustling with art, culture, hospitality, and business commerce which makes it a perfect location and natural fit for the next phase of SUSHISAMBA,” said SUSHISAMBA founder Shimon Bokovza.
SUSHISAMBA's newest location presents a stunning dining room, and an outdoor terrace extending into a show stopping private beach club – the first of its kind. Anchored by custom Brazilian-inspired terrazzo flooring, these seamlessly interconnected spaces create a highly discoverable destination for cuisine, music, and design from day to night.
Imagined by award-winning architectural firm, ICRAVE, the 7,000 square foot restaurant transports guests to a dream-like escape, taking inspiration from SUSHISAMBA's iconic orange tree in an all-new and artistic way.
Three-dimensional, perforated metal petals rise up to the ceiling to create a theatrical canopy effect through which a myriad of LED pixel lights shine. This precise lighting simulates the subtle movements of a natural tree canopy throughout the space and mimicking the sun as it transitions from dawn to dusk. The result is a clever spectacle of light and shadow play; an ever-changing, immersive experience and reminder of our oneness with nature.
Inside the glass-wrapped dining room warm tones of yellow and orange, and wooden finishes play in contrast with sleek, metal curves inspired by brands heritage cultures of Japan and Brazil.
The open kitchen and sushi counter celebrate SUSHISAMBA's signature energy and culinary flair. Inviting lantern-like cabanas serve as semi-private dining spaces – providing intimacy while remaining open to the energetic vibe of the restaurant.
Outside, guests will enjoy an air-conditioned terrace set amidst lush, tropical landscaping, and the tranquility of cascading pools tiled with Copacabana-inspired mosaics.
Luxury abounds at SUSHISAMBA's very first private beach club - 25,000 square foot oasis. Set against the glistening Persian Gulf, the club features elaborate stonework and multi-level terraces.
