The Room
Damindra Bandara opened Damindra on Holbergsgade in 2014 — a serious Japanese chef-driven dining room. The format is intentionally classic-Japanese: a sushi counter at the front, four-tops along the eastern wall.
Eater Copenhagen has held Damindra on its top-Japanese-restaurant rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The sushi counter handles a serious nigiri-and-sashimi programme. The omakase counter at 1450 DKK runs sixteen to eighteen courses.
Sake programme is one of Copenhagen's deepest. Service is informed and warm.

Solo Dining: The sushi counter at Damindra is one of Copenhagen's most-reliable Japanese solo-dining seats.
First Date: The sushi counter at Damindra is a quiet first-date alternative.
Impress Clients: International visitors recognise the Japanese-fine-dining language immediately.
