“Delicious Peruvian food with expensive Boston prices. Quality over quantity, the portions feel a bit small but everything was very good.Parking is a bit tricky. There's limited street parking and I believe you are allowed to park in the lot by the grocery store. There's no sign saying otherwise. My friend parked there for the hour and a half we were there on a Saturday night and his car was still there.Edit from their website about parking: "There is plenty of street parking on BOTH sides of our street (Adams Street). This includes the area directly in front of the restaurant and across the street on the side of Russo’s Tux. There is additional parking on Garfield Street, just around the corner, as well as Wesley Street which is behind our building. The parking lot next to our building is NOT ours and vehicles will be towed. Please help us respect our neighbors! Please feel free to call the restaurant with any questions."Parking: Street parking, and maybe the lot at the end by the grocery store. Don't park in the one next to the restaurant, that's residential only“
“Very nice place. The typical decorated atmosphere with elements of Peru, I really liked the music (cumbias). The waiter was very attentive and friendly. And above all, the delicious food!!! This will be my new place to eat Peruvian❤️ ?“
“Hip little spot in Somerville for seafood with a Peruvian twist. This spot is pretty small so make a reservation ahead of time. Seating can be pretty intimate if you have a big party or broad shoulders. The seafood was good, I recommend the mixed seafood risotto and the cocktails were delicious.“
“Very good place. Nice atmosphere, although a little small (there were a good number of people waiting to have a seat). The service was fast and incredibly friendly.I really liked the ceviche and the dry goat (I felt a slight taste of blue cheese, I don't know why but I liked it, although there wasn't much cilantro). I ordered a lomo saltado but it didn't taste as good as the lomo saltado that a Peruvian is used to. There was something about the silao/vinegar/oyster sauce dressing that was lacking flavor. Plus the meat was a little dry.I liked that they serve you two types of chili and golf sauce as an additional.One point that I didn't like very much: the background music. Only Arjona sounded. It would have been better to hear something typical Peruvian.Anyway, I give it 5 stars because I would definitely return to the restaurant because it is good, although with some things to improve, I have no doubt that the experience, above all, is repeatable :)“
“Excellent, interesting food, price not bad, good service. Noise level was fine. Odd that OpenTable implies with their scale that louder is better, with the loudest being "energetic" rather than say "deafening". I go to restaurants to talk to people, not to be blasted with a wall of noise that makes conversation impossible.“
“This place is one of the best place to go in a hot summer weather. I really like the shaved ice with fresh fruits on top. The syrup was well distributed throughout and there was condensed milk that went well with shaved ice. There was a long line around 30 minutes but it was all worth it. It is a must place to check out if you are in Boston. I got half pina colada and half mango minutas which I highly recommend getting.“
“I can’t complain, the food was good, the place looks very clean. However, it was freezing inside!!!. I couldn’t eat and I was forced to keep my heavy winter coat on the entire time, which is sad because I drove from far away to enjoy a great dinner and I couldn’t finish it because I was too cold so I took my food to go. Also, I thought it was a Colombian place lol. Other than that I mean the food was great so like I said, I can’t complain.“
“The best Peruvian food in Boston!! Everything is homemade, I feel like I'm back in Lima! The portions are huge for the price. I tried the tallarines verde which were so creamy!! You can order it with meat or chicken - The papa a la huancaina was AMAZING!! If you like spicy, I recommend trying their rocoto (spicy sauce) it brings everything together! THIS RESTAURANT IS A MUST TRY! So worth it!“
“Just had a fantastic dinner at Ruka.. our first visit! Our server, Mike, was outstanding! Funny & made excellent recommendations! We (2 people) shared the crispy rock shrimp sushi, tuna poke, lomi lomi sushi, seared bok choy, and wagyu steak. For dessert we had the fried dough! Holy cow, everything was amazing!!! I look forward to coming to Ruka again!“
“10/10 with the food I ate today. I ordered a full chicken with yuka fries and white rice. Chicken came with a salad. Rice was perfectly cooked. Server was very kind and loving. You can tell the people that work there care about their job and want to see all customers happy. Definitely can’t complain and would recommend anyone to take the drive to Boston to try this place. White House sauce is really good too ☺️. Really big portions and food is not expensive only spend $50 after tipping 20%. If it’s cheap and good it’s for me ?“
“Really excellent. Humble place with excellent food. Of course the rotisserie chicken is what they're justifiably famous for, but other Peruvian dishes are terrific too. Beef heart anticuchos are delicious and moist, served with excellent potatoes and corn. Ceviche pescado could not have been fresher. Ají de gallina, my favorite Peruvian dish, is done so beautifully here, with shredded rotisserie chicken in a luscious mild ají amarillo sauce. I like to go here right before the airport, but do leave extra time as they are not fast.“
“We loved everything about this place. The food was spot on. Our server, Jaysa was friendly, attentive and had wonderful recommendations. We were very impressed with the staff dynamic. If you are looking for great Peruvian food and feel good vibes-this is the spot! We will be “
