As soon as we walked in we noticed the amazing scent of Peruvian cuisine! Food was incredible! Service was a tiny bit slow as there was just one server but it was a busy night with a full restaurant. Definitely want to come back to try some other dishes.

I stumbled across Peruvian Taste this after a meeting and needing to find somewhere to eat. When you enter unclear what to expect, but as soon as the super friendly staff approaches, you know it’ll be a good experience. After the meal, I categorise it as a great experience. Each meal is made to order, so it is fresh, well seasoned and thoughtfully presented. Think: homemade meal prepared by a family member you look forward to being invited to their eclectic house.

The food was ok. Very very flavorful don’t get me wrong but also very salty. I got the beef chaufas and the Pollo Chi Jay Kay and that was even saltier. I was a bit disappointed. On top of that the host charged 20% gratuity without my permission. I probably won’t order again.
