Nikkei Peruvian senses — Restaurant in Ayia Napa

11 Oct 2025

Wow! Could not recommend this restaurant enough! Exceptional in all regards. The service was attentive, professional and not overbearing.

The food was an amazing fusion on Peruvian and Asian. Taste buds explosions!

Edamame beans gave a little food theatre and tasted great with the cracked sea salt.

Salmon maki rolls were fantastic! Enough to share between two.

Cauzas were absolutely delicious. The turmeric emulsion was a great accompaniment to this dish.

Miso Cod was cooked to absolute perfection. The miso glacé gave a nice shine and finished to the Cod and was not overbearing. A must have dish if you intend to dine here.

Chicken Huancaina was for me the highlight of dinner! Beautifully cooked chicken, slices and presented with a warm fiery hot sauce. Bottle the sauce and sell it, it was amazing!

Dessert was not needed but what a treat!

I had the chocolate tart and this was rich but not too heavy. The mango sorbet was a great cleanser.

My wife had the white chocolate arroz con leche… too big to finish but tasted amazing. The homemade brittle was very well cooked and didn’t leave the burnt sugary taste you can often get with brittle.

An amazing experience and one I hope to...

The beef carpaccio, fois gras sushi roll and butter accompanying the sharing steak all contained truffle oil, despite the ingredient not being included on the menu. This is a major oversight by the restaurant, and could be potentially dangerous to those with allergies. We do not like the flavour of truffles, and so it ruined our experience massively.

We had originally sent back the beef carpaccio because of this, but further courses were brought out with truffle oil included. This again, was a major oversight.

The sharing steak was also cooked medium, despite having asked for it to be cooked medium rare.

We could not finish the meal. This is very disappointing as this restaurant was booked for a special occasion.

Despite being offered free deserts, this does not make up for the €150 cost of the meal.

The service was,...

We absolutely loved our experience at Nikkei – Peruvian Senses! We ordered the teriyaki noodles and some makis. But the real star of the evening was the arroz con leche: without a doubt the best I’ve ever tried! I am Peruvian, and arroz con leche is one of my favorite desserts back home.

On top of the amazing food, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive from the moment we arrived until the very end. They were so happy to hear I was from Peru and made our stay felt amazing! They even welcomed us with edamame at the start 🥹 We felt so welcomed, and it was such a joy to find a little bit of home in Cyprus.

We came here while visiting for a wedding, and we’ll definitely be recommending this spot to our newlywed friends and the whole wedding party. Thank you for such a wonderful...
