Sushi has been enjoyed by many South American countries for years now, especially in Peru, where its Japanese culinary tradition was developed together with the use of rich local ingredients. This combination seems very natural indeed.
It is the celebration of the simplicity and precision of raw seafood and the use of citrus fruits to change the freshness of fish to make it bright, tender and full of flavour. Together, they have created the foundation for Nikkei cuisine which is still developing thanks to creative interpretations.
Our concept Beyond Nikkei is what helps us to celebrate it at Nazcaa restaurant. Each dish tells a story of our mastery of the Japanese cuisine, strong characteristics of the Peruvian taste and creative approach to everything.
Where Sushi and Ceviche Find Common Ground
The connection between sushi and ceviche comes from an appreciation of superb-quality seafood. They both start from freshness.
However, they do not focus on abundance but on harmony.
Japanese gastronomy focuses on minimalism, exactness, and pure flavoring. Peru gives light through bright citrus flavors, aromatic herbs, hot peppers, and indigenous products that bring alive everything served. The result of their encounter is Nikkei cuisine, which is one of the most dynamic modern gastronomic experiences.
This exchange of cultures is carried forward at Nazcaa through dishes that are inspired by the past but reflect the present in innovative ways. This is the core of our Beyond Nikkei concept.
Our Signature Ceviches That Capture Peru's Soul
Ceviche is one of the most memorable dishes in Peruvian cuisine, and there is no doubt that it has its place in our Nazca collection of iconic dishes.
Royal Guard Ceviche acquaints the visitors with the tangy flavors of citrus combined with the delicately fresh fish. The acidity, subtle flavors, and elegant plating result in a perfectly refreshing dish.
The Chilean Bass Leche de Tigre offers another expression of this celebrated classic. The richness of Chilean bass meets the lively character of traditional leche de tigre, enhanced with Japanese precision that brings remarkable balance to every element.
Texture also plays an important role. Cancha Chulpi, the beloved toasted Peruvian corn, adds an earthy crunch that complements the silky freshness of the fish while creating another layer of contrast across the plate.
These dishes celebrate simplicity, allowing exceptional ingredients to speak with confidence.
Sushi That Reflects Japanese Craftsmanship
Like Sushi Nazcaa’s approach to sushi, our food offers the philosophy of elegance and sophistication but with all the daring tastes of Nikkei cuisine.
Salmon Aburi is a delicacy of torched salmon, where smoke brings out the full richness of fish flavors without ruining their natural delicacy. Each bite reveals warmth, softness, and complexity.
The Sunrise Roll immediately draws attention not only with its taste but also with its colorful presentation. The elegant and carefully crafted roll combines fresh fish and vivid flavors of Nikkei cuisine.
For those looking for an interesting combination of flavors and textures, we recommend Ebi Tempura Roll, which combines crispy prawn tempura, soft rice, and other perfectly balanced ingredients.
Beyond Nikkei Above Dubai's Skyline
Great meals are elevated to a new level if served in the proper environment.
At our rooftop venue, you will find one of the most captivating environments among all Burj Khalifa view restaurants, as the skyline of the city adds to the atmosphere of the evening. The moment the daylight turns into the twilight, and the lights turn on at Burj Khalifa, the environment changes together with the city's skyline.
Our Nazcaa concept is based on the ancient culture of Peru – the Nazca civilization and its mysterious lines that show their true beauty only from above. The same way, the experience we offer is based on the elevation point of view of the surroundings, design, and other factors.
Whether gathering for an intimate dinner, celebrating a milestone, or simply enjoying an evening with friends, the setting complements the journey unfolding across the menu.
More Than Signature Plates
While ceviche and sushi often introduce guests to our Beyond Nikkei philosophy, they are only part of the experience.
Our menu continues through Robata-grilled specialities, Black Cod Miso Yaki, beautifully prepared lamb chops, and carefully curated seasonal creations that reflect both Japanese craftsmanship and Peruvian heritage.
Behind the bar, signature pisco infusions, premium sake selections, and handcrafted cocktails complete the experience with the same attention to balance and creativity found throughout the kitchen.
Across every course, flavours are designed to unfold naturally, encouraging conversation, discovery, and shared moments around the table.
An Evening That Evolves With Every Hour
Another distinctive feature of Nazcaa is how the air gets changed all day long.
Laid-back terrace lunches turn into an evening dining at sunset time with different shades of the sky. Evenings get more vibrant with selected music, performances, and social scene that seems elegant yet warm at the same time.
On holidays such as Halloween, our Beyond Nikkei restaurant and lounge transform completely, creating an unforgettable atmosphere with an elegant touch and special outdoor terrace with a view on the glowing skyline.
