TAKARA Restaurant was founded in 2019 and set out to reshape the dining scene in Eastern Saudi Arabia by crafting a multi-sensory dining experience.
At TAKARA, a team of internationally trained chefs leads the kitchen, each bringing expertise from some of the world’s most renowned culinary hubs. This diverse experience allows them to blend traditional Japanese techniques with modern culinary creativity.
The menu showcases Japanese cuisine, featuring a blend of traditional dishes and innovative fusion creations. Highlights include the Reema Maki and Kunafa Shrimp, which demonstrate the restaurant’s unique ability to merge different cultures. Additionally, high-quality sushi and sashimi are available, made with carefully sourced ingredients.
The service is discreet yet attentive, with staff trained to make sure guests feel cared for and relaxed. The restaurant’s interior, featuring golden bamboo accents and custom artwork, strikes a balance between Eastern influences and contemporary design, creating an atmosphere of quiet luxury.
Looking ahead, TAKARA is expanding its footprint across Saudi Arabia, with plans to open new locations in Riyadh and Jeddah by 2025, and further growth across the GCC in 2026.
