If festive dining in Dubai has started to feel a little predictable, then allow GRAZIA to introduce you to something different.<\/p>\n

Enter Kiyoshi, which is here to change the mood. Set against the ever-magnificent backdrop of Dubai Creek Harbour, the contemporary Japanese restaurant and bar has quietly become one of the city\u2019s most dependable spots for elevated evenings that don\u2019t try too hard.<\/p>\n

Complete with skyline views, low lighting, great music and, most importantly, a menu that always delivers, what more could you want? Especially for a festive feast.<\/p>\n

Just in time for the holidays, Kiyoshi has unveiled a limited-edition festive menu, available from December 15 to January 15, putting a distinctly Japanese spin on seasonal indulgence.<\/p>\n

Designed for lingering lunches, celebratory dinners and everything in between, the menu brings people together over refined flavours, polished plates and cocktails that feel as considered as the food.<\/p>\n

This is not your classic festive feast, and that\u2019s exactly the point. The menu leans into Kiyoshi\u2019s signature style, which encompasses confident, modern Japanese dishes layered with just enough flair.<\/p>\n

Expect favourites like Crispy Rice topped with Spicy Tuna and Caviar, indulgent Truffle Donburi, and a Black Angus Tomahawk with wasabi mash that\u2019s very much made for sharing. Save room for dessert \u2013 the Ginger Date and Walnut Cake is rich, warming and quietly addictive.<\/p>\n

The drinks menu plays its part too. Festive without being gimmicky, the cocktails are crafted to suit both early evenings and late nights. The standout? The Wabi Sabi \u2013 a clever mix of wasabi paste, sake, elderflower and yuzu that somehow manages to be bold, balanced and surprisingly drinkable.<\/p>\n

The award-winning space is dressed with subtle festive touches, striking that sweet spot between celebration and restraint. It\u2019s upscale but relaxed, intimate yet social \u2013 the kind of place that adapts to your plans rather than dictating them.<\/p>\n

So if your December mood board leans more towards Christmas cool rather than Christmas jumper, Kiyoshi is calling.<\/p>\n
