Trust the chef. Trust the catch.
Dinner only · 7:30pm · 10 seats A Japanese dining experience shaped by the season, the day's finest catch and the chef's instinct - served directly across our intimate 10-seat counter overlooking Harrods.
I'll leave it up to you
Meaning “I leave it up to you,” omakase is a dining experience rooted in trust. At ALBA, that means placing your trust in the chef — and allowing the finest ingredients of the day to shape your experience.
Each of the 10 seats follows the chef’s selection, built around the season’s finest sourcing: Hokkaido uni, bluefin otoro, Kristal and Beluga caviar, and daily deliveries of the day’s best catch.
Nigiri, sashimi and small raw courses are served directly across the counter, in full view of their preparation - a deliberately theatrical, unhurried format that mirrors the intimacy of Alba’s Amalfi dining room while giving Japanese technique a stage of its own. Nothing is fixed in advance; everything is considered.
At the heart of the experience is Omotenashi — the Japanese spirit of wholehearted hospitality. More than service, it is an instinct to anticipate, to care and to create a sense of harmony between guest and host.
For this evening, let go of expectation, be present in the moment, take in the beautiful view of Harrods, and place your trust in the chef.

Omakase is a carefully timed experience, with all guests served together from the reservation time. We recommend arriving 30 minutes before your booking to allow yourself time to settle in. Guests arriving more than 15 minutes after the reservation time cannot be seated, as late arrival would disrupt the experience for the other guests.
Omakase centres on raw seafood and may include shellfish. Please let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements at the time of booking. Our team will advise what can be accommodated.
Reservations require full pre-payment per guest, inclusive of service charge. Drinks are not included in the pre-payment unless a drinks pairing has been pre-booked. Additional drinks and extra sushi may be ordered during the experience and settled on the evening.
All reservations are subject to a 72-hour cancellation and amendment policy. Cancellations or changes made with less than 72 hours' notice will incur a 100% cancellation fee. For cancellations, amendments or reductions made more than 72 hours before the reservation, a £25 handling fee will apply. Any applicable refunds will be processed on the next available working day. Thank you for your understanding.
