Riko, a restaurant specialising in Peruvian-Latin cuisine, has opened its first outlet in Bengaluru, in the Indian state of Karnataka.
The restaurant is the latest venture from the Kofteci Group, founded by Aasim and Adeeb Shah and known for previous concepts such as Oz by Kebapci, and Klava.
The menu at Riko features dishes from Peru in seven sections, including ceviches and grilled items.
Aasim and Adeeb Shah stated: “We wanted to honour the heritage of Peruvian and Latin food without dilution, and to reinterpret it with integrity for this context.
“There’s fire, soul and story in every element of what we’ve created — from what’s on the plate to the textures around it.”
Riko's menu includes dishes such as Bomba de Choclo, a corn custard encased in a crisp shell with aged cheese, Pollo a la Brasa, a traditional marinated rotisserie chicken, and Tamal de Cordero, spiced lamb wrapped in soft corn dough.
Arroz Bomba Del Mar features saffron-infused rice with seared seabass, while dessert options include Cachapa con Miel, a sweet corn pancake drizzled with honey.
Complementing the food is a selection of non-alcoholic beverages, including Brazilian Lemonade, Granada y Kion with sparkling pomegranate soda and ginger, and Agua du Fresco made with cucumber and coconut.
