Excellent cuisine. Very well presented. Friendly service. Had the "Peruvian paella"--really tasty. Wife had 1/4 grilled chicken with salad and cooked vegies, and really liked it.

I love their Risotto with salmon and with steak. Everything is well seasoned. Their Peruvian chicken is cooked really well, and is very soft and tender. Their ceviche tastes very fresh. Service is fast and the ambiance is very modern.

This was my favorite restaurant while visiting UVA! Most dishes are in the high teens. My favorite dish was the Pescado a lo Macho. The fish filet was lightly fried and so fresh. The creamy seafood sauce was amazing with lots of seafood! The Passion Fruit Mousse had just the right balance of sweet, tart and creamy. We went back a second time the next day! The ambiance was modern and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Peruvian food is some of the best in the world and the food here is upholds that reputation. Service was excellent - friendly and quick. We felt like we had travelled back to Peru!

Amazing food , fresh ingredients. We really enjoyed our meal from start to finish. Don't be fooled by the appearance, it's definitely a must try

The food is wonderful, however this business does not have enough help. There were 6 of us who arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday. As the restaurant began to fill up we had longer to wait for our food. There were only two servers and a bartender who was doing double duty making drinks and waiting on tables. The three of them did an incredible job managing a room full of people. We ordered dishes that were new to us. Everything was fresh and tasty and the desserts were yummy. It gets 4 1/2 stars instead of 5 for being under staffed. I will try it again in a weekday when it isn't so noisy and crowded.

Excellent food and friendly service. Thanks Diego! Peruvian paella and limo saltada were delicious.

Can't say enough good things about INKA. Make no mistake, this is not fusion. If you e never experienced Nikkei food, please co aider this place. The lomo soltado, chaufas and huacaina dishes are a must-try. Great staff and beautiful inside. We've never been less than satisfied.

Found this place in yelp and decided to stop by. Quiet Tuesday night but food is amazing. Grilled octopus is wonderful and pescado a lo macho are delicious and big portion.

Went for a business lunch and thought it was pretty good. The food was interesting - had not tried a lot of Peruvian before. The service was mixed, great at the beginning and then we were left alone, including not bringing drinks, and a long wait for the check. Not much atmosphere. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and go again because the menu is interesting.

I’m not usually into Peruvian food but the Tacu Tacu de Mariscos was so so good. The flavors were unique and the sauce on the dish was creamy but not heavy. Delicious!I can’t wait to go again with my girlfriend.

We ate at inka Peruvian for restaurant week. All dishes were great. Ceviche, seafood roll, steak all tasty with interesting/attractive presentation. Definitely recommend checking them out!

*5th St Location* Everything here is so delicious. The best pisco sour I've ever had, fantastic tartar & ceviches, and our kids devour the Lomo Saltado. Hidden gem.

Service is VERY slow. The food is mediocre at best. Restaurant has a funny smell like wet cat litter. My chicken was slightly undercooked, the fries were not fresh and my salad looked like it came from a cafeteria.
