We used code UNITY to grab a year-long membership for AED 10, redeemed our dining credit at Roka, and ate very well. Here is the full breakdown.
- Use code UNITY to get a full year Supperclub membership for just AED 10
- Membership comes with AED 300 in credits redeemable across three partner venues
- We used AED 100 at Roka Dubai in Business Bay and the food was genuinely excellent
- The miso crème brûlée with pistachio ice cream is the dessert Dubai needed
The Supperclub Dubai membership has been one of those quiet open secrets in this city for a while now. You either know someone who swears by it or you have scrolled past the ads without fully registering what it actually offers. We finally paid attention. And then we paid AED 10, used code UNITY to lock in a full year of membership, and found ourselves at Roka in Business Bay with AED 100 in credit to burn. The food alone would have made it worth it. The fact that we essentially got it for free made it embarrassing in the best possible way.
Supperclub membership offers discounts across over 500 premium UAE venues, with credits applied discreetly at the restaurant, which matters more than you might think. There is no awkward code-showing moment or wait-for-the-manager situation. You book, you dine, the credit lands. The membership structure gives you AED 300 to redeem across three different venues, which means three separate nights out at places you actually want to go, subsidised by a membership that costs less than a shawarma.
What We Ordered at Roka and Why You Should Too!
Roka is the sister restaurant of Zuma, from chef Rainer Becker, focused more on robata than sushi, with a terrace boasting Burj Khalifa views and a bar serving Japanese-inspired cocktails in Business Bay. The Opus building is a dramatic setting, Zaha Hadid’s curves doing their thing in the Business Bay skyline, and the restaurant inside feels considered without being precious. We sat on the terrace. Obviously.
Here is what we worked through:
- Chicken karaage with gochujang glaze: crisp, sticky, could have ordered a second round without hesitation
- Dynamite spicy shrimp tempura roll: the kind of sushi that makes you rethink your usual order
- Chicken skewers with spring onion: simple, from the robata grill, perfectly executed
- Chicken wings with yuzu kosho honey: the yuzu-honey combination is genuinely clever and the glaze was flawless
- King crab, black cod and prawn dumplings with roasted chilli dressing: the standout savoury dish of the evening, the chilli dressing doing more work than it had any right to
- Miso crème brûlée with pistachio ice cream and roasted figs: this dessert alone justifies the visit
- Mochi: a gentle, clean finish that left the table satisfied rather than floored
Roka feels every inch the modern Japanese restaurant, all warm wood, cool stone and clean lines, with service that is instantly up there with the best in the city. That service is the part most reviews mention second and should be mentioned first. They know the menu, they know their pacing, and they make a table of people who are clearly enjoying themselves feel like they are the only people in the room.
The miso crème brûlée deserves its own paragraph and got one above. It should not work as well as it does. Miso in a dessert sounds like a gamble and it is, repeatedly, not one. Pistachio ice cream alongside roasted figs turns what could have been a gimmick into something genuinely memorable. Order it. Non-negotiable.
The total value of the evening significantly outpaced the AED 10 we spent on the membership. That is the entire point of Supperclub, and it delivers on it cleanly.
Use code UNITY at supperclubme.com to grab your AED 10 annual membership. Book Roka via their website or OpenTable. And order the king crab dumplings and the crème brûlée. In that order!
