Renovation / Refurbishment at Shayma Tower

Tatami Sharq Gets a Makeover

When Tatami first opened back in 2011, it was kind of a big deal. It was a locally created Japanese restaurant with a really nice interior and it quickly became the place to be. I was just looking through my old post about it and reading the comments which were mostly positive at the time. Since then, a lot more Japanese restaurants have opened, and Tatami itself expanded with two more locations. I don’t think I’d been back to the original Sharq branch since they opened their other location. Recently though, the Sharq branch closed for renovations and has now reopened with a major facelift. The new interior was designed by Studio Nesef and features design elements from their Avenues location, but with more black and grey tones, which I think might be a homage to the original space. My favorite feature has to be the ceiling. It’s similar to the one at The Avenues location, but feels even more dramatic here. If you want to check it out, the newly renovated Sharq branch is currently open from 6PM onwards. Here is the location on Google Maps. For more photos, click here.

Located in the new business district in Kuwait City, it quickly became a popular and trendy eatery because of the exceptional menu, professional service and sophisticated interiorAfter the success of the first branch TATAMI opened its second branch in 2016 located at the Dhai Complex in Al-Bidda area on the gulf street a few meters from the seafront where all the top restaurants and hotels are located. Working with the top Architects TATAMI is designed to emphasize the purity and essence of the food. Utilizing natural materials, minimally manipulated to reflect true color & texture. It exemplifies a modern & bold interpretation of designs found globally.
