Founded in 1997, #BentoyaKitchen is one of #SheikhZayedRoad’s most longstanding restaurants and here, a meal for two can still set you back less than Dhs200, pretty much regardless of what you order – whether it’s a generous portion of fresh sashimi, crunchy katsu or shareable bowls of slurp-worthy noodles.
