Immersive Ambiance with Samurai Spirit
Step inside Bushido and you’re immediately swept into a world where ancient Japan meets modern Bahrain. The grand entrance, inspired by traditional Japanese fortresses, opens into a dramatic interior rich with Samurai symbolism, bamboo, stone, and fire-lit lanterns. At night, the space transforms into one of Bahrain’s most atmospheric dining and lounge destinations theatrical, intimate, and ever so slightly indulgent.
Menu Highlights
Bushido doesn’t play it safe it pushes the boundaries of Japanese and pan-Asian cuisine with bold creativity. While the full menu spans sushi, robata grill, noodles, and mains, several standout dishes deserve attention:
Sashimi & Nigiri Platters – Exceptionally fresh and artfully plated
Signature Black Cod Miso – A Buddha-Bar staple, perfectly glazed and flaky
Wagyu Tataki – Paper-thin slices served with truffle ponzu and daikon
Miso Ramen – A comforting, umami-rich broth that surprises in a high-end setting
Bushido Dragon Roll – Tempura shrimp, avocado, spicy mayo, and a dash of flair
Yuzu Cheesecake – Delicate and creamy with citrus tang a top pick for dessert
Their robata grill selection is also excellent especially the Wagyu skewers and grilled tiger prawns.
