Antillean flavours await at this JBR hotspot

  • Senior Editor

Tamoka Dubai and Caña by Tamoka are now open.

Beachfront dining destination Tamoka Dubai has broken ashore and opened its doors on the pristine sands of Al Mamsha Street at The Walk, JBR.

Featuring expansive views of Bluewaters Island and the magnificent Ain Dubai, Tamoka is a restaurant that embodies a sense of wonder and discovery. A place where diners are invited to dive into a world of playful rituals and be transported to exotic shores while experiencing a vibrant, flavourful menu that is destined to make a mark on Dubai’s eclectic dining scene.

Inspired by the Antillean islands, Tulum, San José, Cartagena and the Caribbean islands, Tamoka presents a culinary journey through Latin America and the Caribbean coasts with various tropical libations. Whether visiting for a light lunch, an extravagant dinner, sundowners or late-night fiestas under the stars, each moment at Tamoka is one of celebration. 

@dscvr.ae The ideal location for sundowners and dinner! 🍹🍽 #dubai #indubai #mydubai #dubaidining #experiences #views #aindubai #fypシ #fyp #dscvr ♬ Sweetest Pie – Megan Thee Stallion & Dua Lipa

The spacious, open concept features alfresco seating, a dedicated ceviche bar, outdoor fire pits and sunken lounges bringing together Latin American craftsmanship with intrinsic detailing throughout Tamoka’s décor.

At the helm of Tamoka’s epicurean voyage is Chef de Cuisine Cesar Bartolini. Dishes on the menu include a variety of Entradas such as the Tinga, a contemporary Mexican dish of slow-cooked confit chicken with chipotle sauce, and Costillas, crispy beef short ribs marinated in tamarind and chayote, hinting at influences from the Caribbean islands. 

For those with an appetite for seafood, the Centolla; serves Alaskan king crab with little gems, an Argentinian inspired dressing, and salsa. Following the appetisers, guests can enjoy the Langostinos, tender Patagonian prawns with creamy coconut rice and spicy huancaina sauce from Peru, or the Ojo De Bife, a dry-aged Wagyu rib-eye served with roasted pineapple mustard. Tamoka’s Postres include the Torta Rum, a Caribbean spiced rum cake served with a caramelised banana, or the Anana, a tropical pineapple carpaccio served with fresh kiwi, passion fruit and coconut sorbet.

Tamoka’s little sister, Caña by Tamoka, is the only licensed bar on the JBR strip, providing guests with the opportunity to soak up the sun while embracing the barefoot luxury. Caña by Tamoka promises sun-filled beach days complimented by laid back snacks and crafted concoctions from expert mixologists.
