Muscat – NOZOMI, the renowned award-winning contemporary Japanese lifestyle restaurant and celebrity hot spot, is set to open its doors on December 16, 2025 for a soft opening, followed by a grand opening in January at Muscat’s best address, The St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat Resort.
Founded by visionary restaurateur Marios George in 2004, NOZOMI quickly became one of London’s preeminent destinations. Over the years, it has expanded its reach with iconic outposts in Doha, Qatar and in Riyadh and Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia with pop-ups previously held in both Monaco and Cannes. Each location is celebrated for its unique dining experience, blending contemporary Japanese cuisine with a vibrant, music-driven atmosphere, embodying the spirit of movement and modernity.
At NOZOMI Muscat, guests will discover the restaurant’s distinctive philosophy, offering modern Japanese dishes infused with subtle European influences. The sushi sits at the heart of the NOZOMI journey, elevated into a true art form. Each piece is crafted with meticulous precision and presented with striking elegance. From delicate nigiri to premium seafood rolls layered with exceptional ingredients, the sushi selection embodies the mastery, refinement, and visual beauty that define NOZOMI.
The thoughtfully curated menu features the brand’s signature highlights, from its acclaimed black cod and melt-in-the-mouth Wagyu beef to world-class lobster tempura and inventive vegetarian options with the highest standards of quality and creativity. The restaurant will also introduce NOZOMI Teppanyaki, an interactive dining concept where master chefs use the finest ingredients to create a dedicated cuisine and an à la carte Teppan menu with theatrical flair.
Each evening at NOZOMI Muscat unfolds as an immersive experience elevated by a carefully curated world-music selection that evolves through the night where exceptional dining blends seamlessly with sophisticated social energy. With its alluring atmosphere and signature sense of rhythm, NOZOMI is set to become one of Muscat’s most coveted destinations for local and international guests.
