Inka Peru is an amazing restaurant with an incredibly friendly staff!We started our Peruvian culinary journey with Causa Rellena, a layered dish with tasty sauce. It's a delightful blend of tangy, creamy, and savory flavors with refreshing tanginess. Next, we indulged in the Jalea Mixta, a dish of fried lightly breaded assorted seafood, accompanied by the delicious Salsa criolla, made with thinly sliced red onions and lime juice. The salsa provides a burst of acidity that cuts through the richness of the fried seafood, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The Beef lomo saltado was also a highlight. The attention to detail in their dishes is outstanding, as they truly strive to create visually stunning presentations.The drinks were equally impressive. The Tropical Sangria was a delightful burst of fruit flavors, while the Chicha Morada surprised us. It's a purple corn non-alcoholic beverage, the taste is a bit like punch or mulled wine, but more delicious, its unique combination of sweet, fruity, and slightly tart notes. And of course, the maracuya drink was equally amazing, offering refreshing tropical vibes. I highly recommend trying all three beverages!What truly enhanced our dining experience was the friendly and kind gentleman who served us. He treated us like old friends, shared stories about Peru, traveling around the world and passionately described each dish. It was an enlightening and soulful conversation that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal.From the beautifully crafted dishes to the warm and knowledgeable service, this restaurant truly captures the essence of Peruvian cuisine. A visit to this extraordinary establishment is an absolute must for any food lover. We can't wait to come back and try their Leche de Tigre and desserts!

A very warm and inviting restaurant where I was greeted by a very attentive owner whose conversation made me feel right at home. They serve some of the most delicious Peruvian food I've ever had. The chicken was smokey and tender and is definitely the star of the show, highly recommend. I also enjoyed a good glass of wine and they had a nice selection of wine to choose from.

An exceptional family-owned restaurant with friendly staff and atmosphere. We're always pleased to dine here. Their food is amazing, the customer service is top-notch, and the service is fast. On our last visit, I got to try some craft beer straight from Peru and the owner even treated us some extra treats after our meal!Highly recommend the charcoal chicken, ceviche, anticuchos, and the yuca fries.

What a tasty little gem! During recent trips to Miami we developed a taste for Peruvian cuisine. This place has it all: authentic, freshly prepared, Peruvian food bursting with amazing flavors. And their red wine sangria is to die for! We will be back!

The dining experience here was amazing. Would definitly recommend. Everything is homemade and cooked with passion. You can tell they care, and that's a mark of a quality restaurant. The price is fair considering the ammount of effort they put into their work.

A hidden Peruvian gem. Flavorful dishes, colorful presentation, and friendly staff.We tried some amazing things for the first time: dishes prepared with tiger's milk, chicha morada juice (wow!), cancha.We learned about the culture, the sourcing of ingredients, and the dishes from our lovely server and the owner, who came to say 'hello' and thank us for visiting the restaurant.It was a fun afternoon! Thank you, Inka Peru!

Half Peruvian Chicken and Purple Corn Chicha Morada.Curiosity pointed me to this place, flavorful chicken and a unique corn drink that tasted like grape juice but less sweet.Its located in an upper class neighborhood and the price reflects it . Paid $28 for the experience.

I'm Peruvian and can say, we're picky about our food - this place is off to an amazing start! Very fresh and authentic, a great mix of classic dishes like Lomo saltado and arroz con pollo and some creative new combinations (like Ceviche Inka Peru, with fried calamari). The anticuchos and causa were great, the chicha morada one of the best I've had. The place was really clean and nicely decorated, like you could have a nice celebration there, and also offered some outdoor seating. The service was top-notch, everyone was incredibly friendly and professional. Its more than worth the trip up from the city, can't wait to go back.

INCREDIBLE. As good as eating in Peru. I’d highly recommend any of the lomo saltados or anything with the yellow aji sauce. The owner is so friendly and generous! Don’t forget to try the chicha morada and maracuya! Fun space, some outdoor dining, lots of pictures from Peru. These guys know what they’re doing & they’re doing it well.

Service was very poor , food took longer then expected , I felt like the owner had a little attitude towards us , we ordered the aji the gallina the chicken tasted old and the rice was super dried felt like the had it on the heat table all day , ordered the pollo saltado all I could tasted was soy sauce, we loved the desert (suspiro limeño de lucuma) and the ceviche was decent but everything el was not worth the wait or the money they charged for it ! Not coming back .

Delicious authentic Peruvian food, we ordered ahi de gallina and lomo saltado both were on point, decent prices and the service is exceptional.

We selected this restaurant on a whim while in the area and so glad we did. Naser, our waiter, was welcoming and kind. He shared his knowledge on Peruvian cuisine and checked on us frequently. We shared maduros as an appetizer and as entrees aji de gallina and vegetable chaufas. For dessert we had a delicious pudding that tasted like butterscotch. It was so flavorful - we could taste all different fruits. We can’t wait to come back and try more items on the menu. Highly recommend this spot with great ambiance and comfortable seating.

Has a lot of potential. The patacones were delicious, fresh, and authentic. The sauces were also very yummy. But everything is over salted overkill. My partner and I both got sick from too much salt. If it wasn’t all so salty, we honestly would’ve loved it. He got the churrasco and I ordered the rotisserie chicken. Again the flavor was there but so was a cup of salt. We doused it all in sauces to be able to eat some of it. Maybe we got a bad batch, unsure. Also didn’t eat much of the chicken and let them know but nothing was done just apologized but beware it’s a 25$ dish. I’d expect to actually enjoy it without a bunch of modifications. Staff was really friendly though.

We have been wanting to try this place since it opened. Last night we made reservations for four to finally give it a try before we saw a local concert.We were immediately greeted by the owner who showed us to our table then spent some time explaining the menu and wines to us mixed with some small talk. He was incredibly nice, and the way he was describing his food made us even more excited to try it.The appetizers and main courses were incredible. Unique, distinct flavor profiles and everything was delicious. Literally everyone at the table enjoyed their dishes.We are excited to visit again.Highly recommend.

I was at the restaurant yesterday for late lunch. I was there with a few family members. I am very sorry to say that I was looking forward to eating here. I ordered arroz con mariscos. The rice was not fully cooked and the seafood was not fresh. When the waitress came to the table I did mention that I was not happy with the food. There was no response.
