ZUMA
Review
About
Zuma is a contemporary Mediterranean and Asian infusion. Zuma is a gender-neutral name of Arabic and Aztec origins, meaning “peace.” Adorable Zuma was initially brought to life by Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, who picked the gentle name for their little boy This unique concept is centered around the sharing of food in a peaceful, soulful environment, pairing varieties of bold, intense flavors with selected alcoholic beverages to enhance the taste buds. Choosing from a variety of smoked meats charcoal-grilled to perfection, wagyu beef, flambé’d sushi and mouthwatering desserts, patrons can enjoy a TASTING MENU that is both affordable and satisfying. There is no set protocol when ordering, and all items are designed to be shared at the table. ZUMA infuses both the Mediterranean and Asian styles of food presentation which centers around IZAKAYA – the generous sharing of a variety of delicious foods infused with a medley of smokey flavors. Whether you celebrate your special occasion in our esteemed PRIVATE DINING area, are enjoying a cocktail in our SUSHI BAR or visit our WINE CELLAR and pair exclusive vintages with your meals, or perhaps you’re enjoying flambé’d dishes at your table – we’re sure to “Create Delicious Memories” with you. ZUMA is an independent and trademarked entity in South Africa, created by David Manal, AKA Chef Raw and includes the Izakaya, Robata, & Flambé style of modern cuisine & entertainment.

We were very eager to visit Zuma whist on holiday in Umhlanga and were warmly welcomed at the entrance by our lovely server, Innocent. He is indeed a jewel in the crown that is Zuma. After, we were escorted to our cozy table for two and immediately offered the menus to peruse. Innocent recommended wines, according to our personal preferences and we really enjoyed those. Our starters were simply divine! The sauce on the crispy calamari heads was unbelievably delicious, as was the peri peri chicken livers. We ordered the chef’s selection of sushi as our entree and it was so fresh and utterly satisfying (eyes rolling back in delight)!!
This was a fantastic experience, on a Thursday evening, with a relatively quiet restaurant, and I can’t wait to come back on a Friday or Saturday when they are busy, just to experience the vibe.
Well done to Innocent and the Zuma team!
