Sushi Sushi - Fabulous Sushis and more at Century Village, Dubai

Author John Thomas

Knowing my incredible love for Sushi, my good friend and blogger Suren Rajamohan recently invited me to Sushi Sushi in Century Village for some sushi treat.

Sushi Sushi is a humble little licensed restaurant that has been around for longer than many of those fancy sushi places in Dubai. Yes, the homegrown brand has been in existence for the past 17 years in Century village. Needless to say, they excel at what they do.

Let the humble setting not fool you, 17 years of experience in making the same thing over and over again means you get to enjoy Sushi that is really remarkable.


The team is comprised of a Sri Lankan head Chef who is as old as the restaurant and a friendly bunch many of who have been working here for a very long time.

What we had
We started off with some light beverage to set the tone for the evening and progressed with some appetisers - Vegetable and Prawn Tempura, before the main course.    The tempura was well prepared and tasted yummy, setting the perfect appetite to try the main event.



The Main event

Sushi & Sachimi
Our Sushi & Sachimi platter came with the Chef’s special Volacano Roll, Crunchy California, California, Tuna Sachimi, Salmon Sachimi, Crab Sachimi and Cuttle Fish Sachimi.  Each of the Sushi were wrapped well, presented artistically and tasted perfectly well. It showed the efforts put by the chef and his team into crafting each and every piece.  We also tried Aftershock Roll, Salmon Sushi, Tuna Sushi, Prawn Sushi, Prawn calamari and Tempura.



Japanese Fried Rice
While we were already surfeit after the sushi indulgence, due to the restaurant managers insistence we tried their Japanese Fried Rice. It is one of the most delicious fried rice I’ve eaten in recent times. Definitely stand out dish like the rest of the fare at Sushi Sushi.



Desserts
To wash down the indulgence we went for a host of desserts including Mochi, Crème Brulee, Green Tea and Ginger Ice cream.

Mochi was delicious and the other guests with us too appreciated it much.



Crème Brulee is more like a Sri Lankan dessert of choice as I’ve seen many of my Sri Lankan friends bragging about their love for this dessert. Sushi Sushi with all its Srilankan Culinary team makes really good Crème Brulee.



Green tea and Ginger Ice Cream : I’ve never tried it anywhere else before and for the first time, it was absolutely love at first bite.



Verdict
Overall Sushi Sushi is a great laid back restaurant in Century Village to enjoy delicious sushi and some beverages on a weekend. The chilled out vibe, vibrant outdoor with flowing water and chalet is definitely a bonus point The relaxed interior is reminiscent of good old styled Japanese restaurant. They even have some props and hand painted posters that have been on their walls for two decades.
Sushi Sushi is really worth checking out!

A Bong Affair at Dil Se Desi, Bur Dubai

Bengal is home to one of the most diverse and unique cuisines in the whole of India and no two Bengali dishes are alike. Having lived in the UAE for past thirteen years, I have had the good fortune to enjoy some varied international cuisines however, however there has been a big lacunae in the Bengali culinary space with very few restaurants specialised in Bengali fare. There are hardly any restaurants here in Dubai that cater to this segment. I thank my good friend and blogger Subashree for introducing me to Dil Se Desi. This restaurant is an answer the long felt need for more north indian and bengali cuisine restaurants in this space.  The restaurant is run by a passionate couple who left their jobs to follow their dream of starting a restaurant that offered very true-to-roots simple and sincere fare that could be enjoyed by all. I visited Dil Se Desi last week - a very humble and unassuming restaurant offering some very refreshing north eastern tastes. I enjoyed s

Enjoy a truly cultural experience in one of Dubai’s most progressive neighborhoods at Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant Ethiopian cuisine has been gaining a whole new level of popularity globally off late and this is with good reason. The usage of highly nutritious native vegetables, spices and meat make Ethiopian cuisine one of the most unique and delicious cuisines in the world.  What's more, the Ethiopian national staple food - the Injera, is made of highly nutritious and gluten-free  teff  grain. This grain indigenous to the Ethiopian region, is known to contain a very high proportion of fiber — more than any other grain on Earth. It is also a complete source of protein, iron and calcium. These healthy properties coupled with the variety in culinary choices make Ethiopian food one of world's more favored food choices. Sadly, if there’s one cuisine in Dubai that most people haven’t tried, it’s probably Ethiopian. With only a handful restaurants serving traditional Et

After my recent visit to Gunaydin – which in my opinion is the best Turkish restaurant in Dubai, my expectations from any Turkish restaurants have risen to all time high. When I got invited from Zou Zou – the Turkish Lebanese restaurant at La Mer, I was all in for it, to try and compare. I visited Zou Zou last week with a very dear friend who is also a big foodie like me and a lover of all things Turkish. So needless to say, we went there with lots of expectations and a hungry tummy of course. I must mention that Zou Zou didn’t disappoint. First off I have to remark about the service. It was pleasant, warm and quick. I was met by Latif Kural the friendly operations manager who has played a role in the setting up several reputed Turkish restaurants in the Dubai.  He is a fine guy with a very pleasant disposition who ensured we felt 'at home'. Latif assigned a waiter de table for us and made sure to drop in every now and then to check on us and see if we were enjoyi
