Visioned under the hospitality group's founders, and cousins, Srikar Shetty and Jeenanath Shetty in partnership with Imran Majid, Amaru is located in the heart of Bandra, offering a unique blend of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine combining original tastes, exquisite interiors and eclectic performances over the weekend that set the vibe.

DJRS Hospitality's CEO Srikar Shetty and MD Jeenanath Shetty shared, "More than just a restaurant, Amaru is an immersive experience that brings together the finest elements of food, design, and atmosphere. We wanted to introduce Mumbai to true Nikkei cuisine-a dynamic blend of Japanese and Peruvian traditions, offering a menu that surprises and delights with every dish. We believe Mumbai deserves experiences that push boundaries, and with Amaru, we aim to offer just that--a journey of flavours and moments that leave a lasting impression, and leave you craving more."

Dedicated entirely to Nikkei cuisine under the direction of Peruvian Chef Nicolas Mandeuno, the menu is a sophisticated curation that highlights the best elements of both cuisines. From ceviches and tiraditos to maki rolls and skewers, each dish reflects a perfect blend of technique and creativity. The menu caters to diverse dietary needs using high-quality ingredients, including vegetarian and Jain options, ensuring an experience for everyone.

Amaru's tapas and ceviche selections offer light yet flavorful options, such as Chicharron Mixto, Avocado Tartare, and Tempura Fried Avocado. Ceviche lovers can indulge in the bold Clasico Hamachi or the zesty Mixto. Tiraditos, including Dos Colores and the vegetarian Tiradito Verde, balance boldness with delicacy, making the menu ideal for diverse palates. Hearty mains feature signature dishes like the succulent Seco de Cordero, Seabass Quinotto with mango relish, and the comforting vegetarian Quinotto del Bosque with mushrooms and quinoa. Plant-based diners will enjoy the Tofu Steak with Huancaina sauce, rounding out the selection. Desserts provide a sweet finale with indulgences like Tres Leches, Lucuma Ice Cream, and classic churros, offering a delightful touch of tradition.

The interiors of Amaru, designed by Srikar Shetty's cousin Chandrashekhar Shetty, elevate the dining experience with a blend of Japanese minimalism and the dynamic flair of Peruvian design. The meticulous and extensive bamboo and woodwork play central roles, inspired by Japan's symbolic use of bamboo for purity and strength, as well as Peru's emphasis on sustainability and natural beauty.

With time, DJRS has produced hundreds of private events, international artist shows, and large-scale productions, specialising in catering, cloud kitchen brands, and fine dining restaurants.

Besides Amaru, DJRS houses two cloud kitchens-Soi Wasabi, which is dedicated to bringing the pinnacle of Asian cuisine to Mumbai, and The Smokey Kitchen, which offers gourmet burgers and savoury bites.

Commenting on future plans, Srikar Shetty says, "Our journey began with The Smokey Kitchen and Soi Wasabi, and we've recently made a significant move into South Bombay. We're are planning to bring Amaru to Delhi, but before that, we plan to launch a vibrant, Gen Z-friendly bar in Bandra which is an inviting space for corporate professionals, creatives, and the local community to unwind daily."

"Simultaneously, we're gearing up to expand The Smokey Kitchen and Soi Wasabi into 4-5 tier-2 cities across India in the coming financial year. To support these growth initiatives, we are preparing to raise $2 million in 2025, paving the way for an even more dynamic future for our brands."
