What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Indio Kitchen offers an exceptional Nikkei dining experience, with many praising its innovative fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors, especially the creative sushi and fresh sashimi. While the food is frequently lauded as mind-blowing and a culinary adventure, a few diners found certain dishes, like ceviche, to be overly salty. The intimate atmosphere and creative dishes are a hit, though service can sometimes be inconsistent.
"Very tasty sushi, excellent lobster roll.
Nice atmosphere, good service."

"4-star flavors with 1-star portion. We ordered the tasting menu and the full set could only make me half full. All the starters were too salty to my taste (perhaps to avoid you from getting higher appetites). The highlight of the menu was the scallop sushi infused with yuzu. The yuzu’s aroma brought out the sweetness of the scallop, and the texture of the scallop was silky and tender.
If I come again I’ll definitely not order tasting menu, maybe the a la cadre menu is more value of money."

"What an unexpected delight Indio Kitchen turned out to be! My daughter and I stumbled upon this "Nikkei kitchen" gem (that's Peru meets Japan!) and honestly, we're kicking ourselves for not finding it sooner.
Our unplanned dinner was fantastic from start to finish. The miso soup was incredible – a delicious, spicier-than-usual take that instantly won us over. Then came the main event: my daughter declared the Salmon Amarillo the best sushi she's ever had! (Think perfectly seared salmon with amarillo butter, elderflower, and trout roe – pure bliss).
I ventured with the "Lima to Tokyo" dish, enjoying 10 exquisite sushi pieces, perfectly split between Peruvian and Japanese inspirations. Each bite was a delightful discovery!
We left feeling incredibly happy and impressed. Indio Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone in Stockholm looking for a unique and utterly delicious culinary adventure. We're already planning our next visit – this time, the whole family's coming along!"

The Best Restaurants In Stockholm

A Foodie’s Guide to Stockholm Restaurants
Moving away from the typically Swedish, one of the best discoveries we made was Indio Kitchen – serving up a winning fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavours. I’m a sucker for a chef’s menu (Get to try everything? No decisions needed? Sign me up!) and since it was our wedding anniversary, we decided to indulge in the “grande” version of the omakase menu. After some lightly spiced miso soup and edamame beans, dinner kicked off with zingy ceviche, umami-tastic tiradito, and decadent lobster rolls.
The 28 best Asian restaurants in Stockholm 2025
When Japanese migrants came to Peru in the 19th century, nikkei cuisine emerged; a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavours that has recently found its way into trendy eateries around the world. One of these is Indio Kitchen, Sweden's first nikkei restaurant, located on Kocksgatan. Sushi and ceviche are served in stylish presentations here, alongside drinks like wine and pisco.
My Asian food favorites in Stockholm
Close to where I live on Södermalm, for example, you'll find the Nikkei restaurant Indio. Nikkei is a unique fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, translating into great ceviche, sashimi, and probably Stockholm's best sushi. If I'm in the mood for rich and deep ramen, on the other hand, I go to Ai Ramen on Erstagatan instead.

Indio Kitchen lagar och servar mat från Nikkeiköket, som uppstod när ett stort antal japaner flyttade till Peru som jordbruksarbetskraft. Enligt traditionerna som uppstod, lagas denna typ av mat på japanskt vis, men med peruanska råvaror. Indio Kitchen, Sveriges första Nikkeirestaurang, serverar även riktigt populär sushi.
Guide till Stockholms 15 bästa sushirestauranger
Indio Kitchen (Kocksgatan 52): Oss veterligen den första restaurangen i Stockholm som satte fokus på Nikkei-köket, det vill säga det japanska köket med influenser från Peru. Deras chambre séparée (eller avskilda rum som vi vanliga dödliga kallar det för) är bra för större sällskap där man kan avnjuta en förbeställd meny.
