Dubai’s Newest Culinary Star At Hyatt Centric Jumeirah – IKKA

Dubai’s food scene has just been elevated with the grand opening of IKKA at Hyatt Centric Jumeirah. Offering breathtaking views of the Downtown skyline, IKKA brings a fresh twist to dining by blending the vibrant flavours of Peru and Japan in an artful way. Come with me, and I’ll tell you why IKKA if you want to experience a journey of storytelling, art, and incredible food!

Peruvian Flavours With Japanese techniques

IKKA’s concept is inspired by the tale of Asiri, a spirited Inca woman, and her loyal llama, Paca. Together, they explored Peru’s majestic mountains, rivers, and forests, where they stumbled upon the Nikkei people. This discovery led to an extraordinary culinary fusion of Peruvian ingredients like aji peppers and fragrant herbs with Japanese techniques, creating dishes like sushi and ceviche with a bold new twist.

A Story In Every Sip

At IKKA, the menu is a celebration of Nikkei cuisine, with authentic dishes designed to transport you straight to the heart of Peru and Japan. Pair your meal with their creative cocktail selection, each inspired by Peru’s diverse terrains. From the refreshing notes of Agua to the earthy charm of Seco, every sip tells the story of IKKA’s journey.

The Artist Behind The Menu

Leading the way is Chef José Luis Mifflin, a culinary maestro known for his mastery of Nikkei cuisine. Chef José infuses every dish with Japanese precision and Peruvian boldness. By sourcing fresh, local ingredients, he ensures that every plate is authentic, flavourful, and unforgettable.

A Fusion Of Art, Design & Community

IKKA isn’t just about the food – it’s a feast for the senses. The interiors are vibrant, with handcrafted details, colourful murals, and rich textures. You can choose to dine indoors under a retractable roof for an open-air vibe or head to the rooftop for stunning views of Dubai’s skyline. For special occasions, IKKA also offers a private dining room perfect for intimate gatherings.

Dance To The rhythm Of Live Latin music

As the sun sets, IKKA comes alive with the rhythm of live Latin music. The space transforms into a lively celebration where you can dance, make new friends, and soak in the vibrant energy. The atmosphere is designed to bring people together, making every visit unforgettable.

An Immersive Nikkei Cuisine Brunch On The Horizons

And if all these fusion of flavours weren’t enough, IKKA is also gearing up to launch an immersive brunch experience! Expect live music, DJ performances, and fun masterclasses that dive deeper into the art of Nikkei cuisine. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a festive brunch, every visit promises an adventure for your taste buds and soul.

With its bold flavours, vibrant ambience, and heartwarming sense of community, IKKA is set to become a favourite destination in Dubai. For more information and to make a table restaurant, call 04 302 1275 or visit their website.
