Bengaluru welcomes RIKO, the city's first true Peruvian-Latin restaurant, which opened its doors on June 27, 2025. Located in UB City, RIKO brings Peru’s vibrant culinary traditions into the Indian context with a fiery, focused, and flavour-driven experience.

Guided by fire, heritage, and native ingredients, RIKO’s menu is entirely à la carte, divided into seven curated categories. It highlights bold ceviches, soulful open-flame grills, and modern reimaginings of regional staples. Each dish is crafted with intention, deliberate, expressive, and unforgettable.

RIKO (Spanish for delicious or rich) is rooted in Peru's diverse geography, from the Andes to the Pacific and shaped by Indigenous, Spanish, African, and Asian influences. Dishes feature authentic ingredients like ají amarillo, choclo, and lucuma, not as embellishments, but as the heart of each plate.

The concept is brought to life by The Kofteci Group, the team behind Oz by Kebapci, Kebapci, and Klava. Founders Aasim and Adeeb Shah share, "RIKO is not about mimicry, it’s about memory. We wanted to honour Peruvian and Latin food without dilution, with fire, soul, and story in every element."

Menu highlights include Bomba de Choclo, corn custard with aged cheese in a crisp shell, Ceviche de Mango y Maracuyá, shrimp with mango, passion fruit, and lime, and Pollo a la Brasa, Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken. The Arroz Bomba del Mar features saffron rice and seabass, while desserts like Cachapa con Miel, a traditional corn pancake, close the experience with nostalgic sweetness.

RIKO also introduces a no-pour, alcohol-free drinks programme focused on clarity and balance. Refreshing pairings like Brazilian Lemonade, Granada y Kion, and Agua du Fresco are designed to elevate the food without overwhelming it.

Interiors echo Peru’s natural landscapes through a palette of microcement, hand-laid stone, and terracotta. Highlights include a sculptural clay wall, red-hued booths under mirrored ceilings, and hand-painted murals of Peruvian leaves. A discreet library shelf filled with cultural objects further deepens the storytelling.

RIKO is more than a restaurant, it’s a sensory and cultural journey, grounded in authenticity and crafted for memory.
