Lima Peruvian Restaurant

I came here twice while I was pregnant and the food was pretty good. Reminded me a lot of Pio Pio. I had the rice chicken beans and tostones and they were all pretty good I took some food to
go and unfortunately it didn’t taste as good the next day. A bit expensive for Spanish food but than again it’s mill basin not sunset.

If you’re looking for great Peruvian food you need to stop in Lima
We like to get the whole chicken it’s always fresh and delicious and try the green sauce it’s fantastic
Sides of rice and beans and the sangria (white or red) is always a must

Great food but service is subpar at best. I’ve ate here many times and have taken out. All the menu items ate tasty and enjoy all the food at lima but everytime I think of the service I cringe. For starters the times we ordered they have left out dishes which made me return to get it. I mean when you order their combination it would be nice if they include the chicken that is the main part of the order. Dine in or take out always takes forever. Many times there are very few diners at the restaurant and it still take a while to get served. The price is on the pricey side for the food and service provided.

After passing this place a few times, always wanting to try it, plus hearing other people rave about Lima & finally stopping in to say hello, I wish I didn’t take it TO-​GO.
This place has such a nice, cool vibe inside. Kinda small yet vibrant. We were greeted at the host stand with menus in hand.
I had the skirt steak which was pretty flavorful with some special marinade, yellow rice which was just rice nothing more, yet still delicious & I ordered a side of Tostonas– which were absolutely delicious. It was a pretty generous portion for being a «side». Don’t know the names of the accompanied sauces/​dips but they were delicious. I didn’t try a desert but I will be in the future.
The bar seemed to be fully stocked, service was great (from what I witnessed). The people that were dining in seemed to be enjoying everything & people kept coming in.

We come here often. Pitcher of red sangria. Followed by avocado salad, whole chicken, beans and tostones w/​garlic sauce… Green sauce is by far the best here… Love Lima…

Stumbled upon it during a random search on Unilocal for area restaurants. Beautiful, intimate place. Slow on a Saturday. Great, friendly staff. I ordered the Pollo saltado ($ 18) sautéed chicken chunks with soy sauce, red onion, tomato in a Wok, oriental style served with rice and fries. Food was light and delicious. Couldn’t quite understand the dish with the fries, but my tummy did not complain. Nice and spacious, single stall restroom with similar interior design of restaurant.

I don’t normally write reviews but I had to… This place is great! The food is amazing and you can tell the ingredients are as fresh as can be… Went here with my brother last night and we had the Cerviche Mixto… it was out of this world! We also had the Churrasco (Skirt steak) it also was a winner! I’m only upset that I just only learned that this place existed last night!

I don’t want to give this place a bad review because I’ve had the food and it’s really good. However, they take forever to pick up the phone and although it says they are opened the place is currently closed. This is the second time I want to eat here, drive out here and it’s closed. It’s just not professional. No sign no nothing. Get it together Lima.

This is a great Peruvian restaurant. The food and service are top notch. The owner Carlos treats you like family, and really caters to his customers. Both the red and white sangrias are delicious. I have the Arroz Chaufa every time because it is so so so so good!

Really love their chicken. Also like the plantains, and the corn with olives and cheese.
Can eat there every day, but usually order to go to eat at home with the family.
Strongly recommend.

Was here only once while was in the area. I’d say it’s about 4 experience but I am rounding it up sort of thing. We ordered fried rice with chicken, empanadas and croquettes. Fried rice was good as well as croquettes. Empanadas were not hot just warm and I was not impressed with the taste. I think drizzled on top with? balsamic vinegar. A little strange. Service was efficient. Place is casual, ambience is ok. Full bar. I’ll visit again to get to try something else.

I’m only giving it 3 stars because although the food is great, the service is horrible. Trying to place a simple to go order is near impossible & at times not worth the aggravation of how good the food is. There is one waiter handling the whole restaurant. They really need to get it together if they want to keep their customers.

Service was excellent and the food was delicious!
Try the pollo saltado. It’s stewed chicken with red onions and tomato with a side of fried yucca! I was licking the plate!!! Yummmmmmm!

First review ever as a Unilocaler but I felt I needed to do these guys justice. Craved Peruvian late at night, found on Unilocal,traveled 30 minutes. Arrived a little late in the night at 1030pm and welcomed immediately by the owner and son at the door.
Ordered the white sangria, fried calamari app, and the combo #1. Sangria comes in a large round glass serving and deceptively strong. Sangria comes mixed with pineapples, oranges, and apples. Just chatting with the owner he offered to let us try a smaller glass of red sangria. Both are awesome, can’t go wrong with either one.
Fried calamari is a plate of heavenly fried goodness. Good sized portion. Fried just crispy enough, reminds me a little of an onion ring crunch. Not dry, or mushy like some others I’ve had.
Whole rotisserie chicken cut into quarters for us. Juicy, moist and succulent. Doesn’t taste like it was mass ordered from Costco; don’t get me wrong Costco chicken is delicious, but you don’t want to come to eat at a Peruvian restaurant seasoned with Peruvian spices to have it taste like something you’d get from costco.
Sides comes with salad (freshly sliced tomatoes, cucumber, sliced avocado, carrots, celery, red cabbage, few other things with a homemade salad dressing almost like a light Italian), rice and beans, fried plantains, roasted corn kernels, fries&sausage, and that bomb green sauce (flavorful & packs a decent kick; apparently there was something spicier but we dared not to try it).
Overall, great place to find. Will definitely come back again. The owner is very accommodating, very welcoming, food is great, drinks are worth every dollar. Only complaint I would have is the music is very loud. I left shouting still, but that could be the sangria working ;).

«Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your naaaaame…», except the owner who greeted us didn’t know our names, but still welcomed us like we were his long lost cousins! Heyyyy primo!!!
Thus charmed, speedily seated, and armed with Unilocal knowledge, we went ahead and ordered the sangria, Jalea seafood platter and the fried rice with shrimp. Of course it all came with that delightful greenish sauce, which was the perfect relish for the food. But Listen Up: I don’t know what they’re putting in that sangria, but I was giggling after the 3^rd sip. I’m no lightweight, but hey — strong drinks @ weak prices are A-​ok with me!
Regarding the food: even though we ordered the half-​Jalea, we couldn’t finish it all between the two of us. It consisted of a ton of calamari, a good amount of shrimp, some fish, a few baby octopi, and a soft-​shell crab. The taste was great, but it would have been nice to have less calamari and more fish or crab; but it was still a solid meal overflowing with deliciousness. We found the fried rice to be a bit too salty, but still flavorful.
Overall, we had a great experience — good food, charming and clean surroundings, and a robust sangria. Looking forward to the next time!

Yummy,
H succulent lamb chops with sensational radish mash potatoes. Was incredible. So, happy it’s very local

The crowd and staff here are super friendly; during my first time, I felt like a regular. I suspect part of the reason everyone is so friendly is the sangria — the mix is strong.
We split the empanadas and the chaufa. The empanadas were good. I thought the aji verde was outstanding! Way better than mine. I smothered every bite of my empanada with it. The chaufa is a chicken fried rice — simple and delicious.
All in all, the food, the staff, and the atmosphere was great. It was just very pricy for the cuisine.

Came here to enjoy a classic Peruvian dinner and the establishment did not disappoint. I enjoyed their steak, Peruvian salad, and got ripped from their awesome San Gria. The owners are super cool as they hooked me up with multiple drinks through out the night. The ambiance was just perfect as I felt as if I wasn’t in Brooklyn anymore.
I had to take one star off for the price as its a bit pricey but what do you expect from great food. If in a mood for something different, definitely come check out this Peruvian oasis.

My boyfriend and I came back to this lovely establishment a few days ago and we have had yet another excellent experience.
The specials going on were Lomo or Pollo Saltado which is sautéed steak or chicken with rice and yuca fritas. It was amazing! We also had the empanadas, which are really different because they don’t have meat; Instead, they have fig, cheese and I believe spinach inside– absolutely delicious! Although we were stuffed, I purposely took him to get dessert here so we had to get it. We ordered the chocolate soufflé and it was INCREDIBLE! Amazing food yet again and Pedro is an excellent waiter.
Very hospitable staff and excellent food.

Delicious food and friendly customer service def makes this spot a welcome addition to the area! I’ll def be back!
