I've never had Peruvian food. It tastes like an asain fusion. It's just not as good.
Chicken skewers were really dry. The sauce is fantastic.
The fried rice was on the drier side for my taste buds. Still decent flavor.
Ceviche was decent. The calamari in it was fantastic.
Overall, for the pricing compared to my taste buds, it's ok. There is nothing to go out of your way.

It was our first time here and I was excited to bring a group of friends along as I had been boasting to them about how good I heard this place was. The food and atmosphere were excellent, as expected.
Towards the end of our meal, we were so shocked to find a thumb-tack in one of our plates, mixed in with the food. We weren’t sure what to do, but we didn’t want the server to think we were playing a trick on her and trying to get ourselves a free meal. So, we left the plate alone and addressed it to our server AFTER paying. We were then even more shocked and speechless to find that the server was pretty careless about something that could have ended VERY badly if we would have ate the thumb tack. Once we told the server, all she said was “that’s weird because we don’t even have thumb tacks here”, she laughed and walked away. Didn’t seem to care at all. We waited a few minutes to see if she returned with an apology or maybe send the manager over, but nobody ever came… We walked out of Casa Zoraya dissapointed, shocked, and eerie. This totally ruined our experience, as we don’t think this was handled properly and did not make us feel cared for.

The food is good. The sauce is different for a Peruvian restaurant. For example the aji is mixed with something so you don’t really taste the aji. The main dishes is very basic and simple I would go for entrees only.

I'll preface my review by saying that the food is great, and the atmosphere is lovely. Why the three stars then? When ordering, I specifically made sure with the server that my dish was dairy free (it was listed as such on the menu) and she also confirmed that. However, the dish that came out was both the wrong dish, and contained dairy. Being a server is tough work and mistakes happen, so I wasn't upset, just wanted the right order. She was great and sent it back to the kitchen, as well as comped it from the tab.
Here's where it gets odd. Essentially, I asked for the dish to go, because it was getting late and I wanted to go home. I open the dish at home, and it's still the wrong order but made vegan? I appreciate the kindness of the staff, but I received the wrong order twice, which was a bummer because I really did want to try the aji de gallina.
That said, if you're not dairy free I don't think you'd have a problem there!

This is my favorite place lately, we come probably every week... and today I was disappointed, we were starting to eat when the lights went out completely and they didn't give us any explanation, the place was getting cold, everything was dark and it was very cold, I told a waitress and she told me that it would come in 1 second but 20 minutes passed and when the place was completely cold I looked for another waitress to turn it on, I always order the lomo saltado because it is my favorite but I wanted to try This time the fish ceviche was very good but there was too much lemon.

This spot is going to become a new favorite, I can already tell! The cocktails were great, I had the chilcajito, and had sips of the pisco sour and another one I've forgotten.
I had the papa rellenas and picante de hongo, and the flavors were absolutely incredible!
The service was friendly and just attentive enough without unnecessarily interrupting, the place is beautifully decorated, and the music was not too loud to heal each other over.
I can't wait to try their other dishes. I think next time I'll try to sit outside, the glimpses of the patio made me envious of the people sitting there!

Great atmosphere and authentic food. I went there with a family member who grew up in the region and was pleased too. I tried about 8 dishes as well as the two main desserts and they were all delicious.
