Located at Manzil Downtown Dubai, the restaurant – its name incorporating New Zealand, South Africa and Australia – is a sports haven for all fans.

Whether you want to track the excitement of Wimbledon, the glory that comes with the Ashes, or the finale to the Super 15 rugby season, Nezesaussi has you covered with its lively atmosphere which can accommodate enthusiastic crowds, big or small.

Starting in 2007 as part of the former Al Manzil Hotel, the restaurant has continued to be a neighbourhood favourite since re-opening in 2015 with a new, fresh look.

Nezesaussi has a capacity for 120 guests and boasts 19 television screens located around the venue, all of the 60-inch, state-of-the-art variety. 

Even if you aren’t interested in viewing sports, the social ambience will keep you engaged, as well as the venue’s interactive jukebox.

While you watch all the action on the big screens, enjoy the restaurant’s gourmet food, inspired by the tri-nations of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.

Signature dishes include Boerewors sausage rolls, ‘peri peri’ flavoured chicken wings and Beef Biltong. Finish off the delectable dining with traditional sticky toffee cake for desert.

Promotions will run throughout the summer as guests can take advantage of discounted offerings.

Most food items will be half their original price until the end of August, while “Fry-days” will give diners the chance to start their day right with a fully-loaded breakfast experience every Friday from 10:00 to 16:00.

Fry-days will begin after the end of Ramadan and is priced at Dh45. 

The restaurant’s general hours are 17:00 to 02:00 from Sunday to Thursday and noon to 02:00 on Friday and Saturday.
