Here is a list of new and notable spots that opened in Las Vegas recently. Town Square Las Vegas — Tamba Anthony Mair Tamba. The kitchen at Tamba is stocked with a raw bar, Arabic Mangal grill, clay tandoor, Asian wok, and charcoal oven — implements that executive chef Anand Singh uses for cooking the vibrantly modern Indian dishes at Tamba.

Here, diners might pore over two-pound whole lobsters with chili cream sauce and platters of birria short rib served atop a rich corn puree. DJs fill the Tulum-influenced space with high-energy tunes just right for throwing back shark bait cocktails of rum, maraschino liqueur, and lavender syrup. 3708 South Las Vegas Boulevard Southwest — Marufuku Ramen Marufuku Ramen Marufuku Ramen. One of San Francisco’s best ramen restaurants is now one of the first tenants at the Bend — the new retail and dining shopping center in southwest Las Vegas.
