Typically a restaurant gets worse over time, but somehow Jora has just gotten better. I've been coming to Jora for years and it's always been good, but something changed and the food is now just so much better than before. I got the octopus, the shrimp causa, aji de gallina and it was all a step up from the last time I went about a year previously.
Great job to the chefs and the staff! Highly recommend

Food is good but service feels like they want you need to eat fast and if you pay and no more consume they ask you that leave the table, even when you are wanting for someone in bathroom

Jora offers excellent Peruvian dishes. Ceviche carretilla has a prefect blend of flavor and texture with fresh ingredients; tangy and savory, tender and crunchy. Grilled octopus was smoky, not chewy, served over a bed of creamy yukon mille fueille. Salmon was exactly how I like it; crunchy skin with juicy and tender meat, melts in my mouth. Aji amarillo curry was a great addition to the flavor profile with a touch of creaminess. Aji de gallina is a beautiful dish with shredded chicken, I like the addition of quail eggs. The restaurant is spacious, offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. The bar area is quite nice. We were seated immediately without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon. Service is good, although server forgot to deliver my drink even though the restaurant was not crowded at the time. I would recommend this restaurant for the food itself. It's a great place to try if you are looking for Peruvian dishes.

One word Delicious. The very best grilled octopus I have tried. The yuca sticks also very good and unexpectedly truffled which was nice. The lomo saltado may be better off with extra meat though. Dessert also incredible

SOOO extremely delicious!! Food was great, atmosphere was amazing, and the service was fantastic. As soon as you walk in, you’re hit with heavenly smells from the food. That’s when we know we were in for a good time! Everything is served family style (big!), so I wish I had come with a large group to try it all 🥲🥲

We had a delightful Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We ordered almost everything on the entrée menu, and it was absolutely delicious. The portions could have been a bit larger, but overall, it was a perfect spot for a group gathering.

Have eaten here several times and absolutely love this place. Not a single bad appetizer or entree. Pisco drinks are so, so good and very strong! Servers are always warm and friendly. Never had a bad meal here.
So why only 4/5 stars you ask?
JORA, I AM BEGGING YOU, PLEASE BRING BACK THE MATCHA LAVA CAKE 😭 I was genuinely so sad to see it taken off the menu and the other desserts, while delicious, simply do not compare. A lot of restaurants use matcha in their desserts but don't have actual matcha flavor. The matcha lava cake at Jora was not only perfectly cooked, but had such a nice matcha, strong flavor to it that every bite made it better and better.
The service was great everyone was on top of everything never had a empty cup of water or drink. Food was delicious specially the empanadas, cant wait to return
Just plain.
