Chef Neha Mishra's izakaya is ramen-first and now ranks No. 2 on MENA's 50 Best, with a Michelin Bib Gourmand to match. Come for the tonkotsu and mazesoba but work through the robata and small plates too; the whole menu holds up. It is small and hugely popular, so book ahead and don't expect a quiet dinner.
