Sundown at Ikka Dubai: A Peruvian Prelude in Every Sip and Bite
As the sun dips behind Dubai’s skyline and the Sea catches the last blush of daylight, Ikka’s rooftop comes alive with golden-hour magic. The soft glow, the city lights twinkling in the distance, and the gentle hum of conversation set the stage for an unforgettable Peruvian dining experience — starting with our signature appetizers and perfectly crafted pisco sours.
The Art of the First Bite
Your journey begins with Choritos A La Chalaca — a coastal Peruvian classic where tender mussels meet the vibrant tang of cherry tomatoes, limo chili’s gentle heat, fresh onion, fragrant coriander oil, and sweet choclo corn. It’s fresh, zesty, and full of character — the kind of dish that whispers of ocean breezes and bustling seaside markets.
For something with a little crunch and a lot of comfort, Papas Andinas is your go-to. This colorful platter layers Wayro potatoes, sweet potatoes, yuca chips, and banana plantain, served with smoky ají a la brasa — a dip that’s as bold as it is addictive. It’s the perfect sharing plate for sunset dining in Dubai.
The Pisco Pairing Ritual
No evening at Ikka is complete without pisco cocktails — the soul of Peruvian mixology. Our bartenders have reimagined this iconic spirit into two vibrant expressions that sing in harmony with your appetizers.
- Pisco Sour Strawberry — Blending strawberry puree, fresh lime juice, metilgel, and a gentle kiss of angostura, this cocktail is a sweet-tart dream. Paired with Choritos A La Chalaca, it elevates the mussels’ briny freshness while balancing the chili’s heat.
- Pisco Sour Passion Fruit — Bright, tangy, and tropical, this golden beauty bursts with passion fruit puree, lime, and aromatic bitters. The perfect match for Papas Andinas, it cuts through the richness of the fried bites and complements the smoky ají. Want to see something more? Check our menu with Peruvian concepts!
