A South African grillroom, ROOI offers a menu sourced from both land and sea, transformed by fire, with a touch of local South African flavours and traditions.
ROOI is the Afrikaans word for ‘red’ (one of the twelve official languages of South Africa) and is a colour traditionally associated with power, vitality, life and fire. The theme of fire is prevalent throughout the space, even in the chosen floral motif, a pincushion protea. Proteas are known as the phoenix of the floral kingdom, due to their reliance on fire to stimulate regrowth and like the Protea, ROOI too harnesses the transformative power of fire.
An elegant contemporary space, the setting brings the outside world in with the inclusion of seven living trees and ‘horned’ seats (a nod towards Ankole cattle known for their long horns) to the design scape.

A sweeping fan-like staircase leads to the dining room and sushi counter, which is framed by a textured, translucent origami light that glides along the ceiling.

Omakase means from the Chefs Heart – as our guest you will experience a special menu designed to your tastes by our Nobu head chef. Nobu is open to guests and day visitors daily from 18.00 - 23.00
