The food was amazing. The soy-oyster sauce was really good - would recommend anything with that on it. The service was also really good and our food came out pretty quickly. Will definitely be back!

I’m so proud of this restaurant’s growth. I have been a reoccurring customer since they were located at the Olivers Landing Clubhouse. The food? Nothing like it. I personally love the Linguine a lo Macho and it’s perfect E-V-E-R-Y-T-I-M-E. That’s hard to do. I recently visited their new location in Newton and it was like visiting family. Our favorite waitress was there, who makes the perfect peach martini, and the food continued to wow. I cannot recommend this restaurant and i hope they continue to succeed. They deserve it!

Had a great dinner last night! Very friendly & accommodating servers who went above our expectations, serving our group of eight upstairs. Very nice drinkwear & tableware, which I value. Everyone loved their meals, kids portions were large. Would recommend!

Food was very good...portions are generous. Must try the scallops appetizer. The atmosphere was more casual than I expected. There was live music the night we were there so a bit loud but would have been fine had we expected it. Service was just okay but will definitely go back again.

Really good spot, they were packed and had fast service. The waitress was super sweet too & described the menu really thoroughly. Felt like chatting with a friend! Food was delicious! I don’t make reviews often, but I am happy they are in Newton!

We were promptly greeted and sat, our server was very helpful and knowledgeable with choosing our meal since it was our first experience eating Peruvian. Atmosphere was good, hoping they will have some outdoor seating in nice weather. Food arrived at the table incredibly quick and hot. Serving size was robust, flavor was top notch and my filet was cooked to perfection. Server checked in on us refilling and assuring meal was prepared correctly and to our standard. Pricing was very fair including cocktails that were well balanced. We have plans to return before the weeks end and bringing freinds.

To start off Daniella was our server and she was kind and was very helpful navigating the menu being my first time trying Peruvian food. The food was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back for seconds!

El Batan is a wonderful alternative to the ubiquitous fast food options in Newton! Both the Arroz con Mariscos and Mariscos 'El Batan' were very tasty. Portions were generous, and service was pleasant.

We certainly plan to return to this restaurant!

So yummy! The menu was a little hard for me to grasp, but we threw a dart and all the food was delicious. Will definitely return for the Linguine al Aji Amarillo and to try something new!

El Batan in Newton is a breath of fresh air compared to many of the newer restaurants in the area. From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly and attentive. Our food came out quickly, was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall experience felt smooth and well-run. It’s refreshing to find a place that gets both service and food right. We’ll definitely be back and will be recommending it to others.

Absolutely the best. Food is exquisite, service, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We have been here several times and everyone was special. Food is consistently 5 stars and if you do not try this gem, you are missing out on a flavorful, tongue dancing experience. Come and enjoy! So amazing!
