Awki Nikkei — Restaurant in Madrid

I came her for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely one of the best Peruvian spots in Madrid. The ceviche was great, the level of acidity and spiciness was perfect. I would’ve preferred actual pieces of sweet potato instead of a purée but it was still good nonetheless. The sushi I tried was delicious, my favorites were the tuna nigiri and the maki acebichado. My friends enjoyed their lomo saltado and the chicken chaufa. (I didn’t try them) My main critique is that the food took quite a while to come out but the great flavors made up for that so it’s not that big of a deal.

As soon as you come into this gem in the middle of Madrid, the atmosphere is welcoming and feel at home. Place is cozy with a beautiful patio. Make sure you reserve your table in advance.

The entire team is welcoming and accommodating, especially for a large group we had. Thank you owners Clara and Nicolas for their...
