Little Buddha Sharm

Little Buddha Sharm is a Pan-Asian lounge restaurant in the Naama Bay area of Sharm El Sheikh, in Egypt's South Sinai Governorate. It belongs to the international Little Buddha brand, known for combining Asian-inspired dining with a lounge atmosphere, statues, dramatic lighting and DJ music. In Sharm El Sheikh it serves as one of the city's upscale evening destinations, popular with visitors who want dinner and nightlife in the same place.

Sushi is the listed specialty, offered as rolls, nigiri and sashimi alongside other Japanese-style dishes. Black cod, a rich fish dish typically cooked with a sweet miso-style glaze, is a signature order at venues of this type, and pad thai represents the Southeast Asian side of the menu. The wider card draws on Japanese, Thai and Chinese cooking, with dim sum, wok dishes, grilled meats and desserts. Prices are in the upper bracket ($$$), the most expensive tier in Sharm El Sheikh, and a full dinner with drinks can cost significantly more than at typical local restaurants.

The dining room is dim and stylised, with lounge music that grows louder as the evening progresses and DJ sets on selected nights. Smart-casual dress suits the setting, and noise levels are high late in the evening. Opening hours run from evening to late, so the venue functions as a dinner spot that turns into a lounge. Cocktails and other drinks are a major part of the offer, subject to local licensing, and visitors should check availability on arrival.

Reservations are advised, particularly on weekends and in high season between October and April, and for groups wanting a good table. Booking earlier in the evening secures a quieter dinner before DJ music takes over.
