"It's amazing. I would definitely say it's worth the price even though there was a little extra charge because the fee but it's amazing. You can feed at least two people and there's so much in the food like you think it's a little bit of food. That's really amazing and it's a lot and the stew is amazing. The fish is amazing. The rice is excellent. Everything is amazing and the salad that comes with is amazing. The egg is perfect. Everything is up to tea. It's amazing. It's so fresh and like everything is warm it's not cold. It's not anything bad and yes, I would order this again. Matter fact I said my name is review. I'm gonna order again next week. It's so amazing. I will get it every single time. "
"the fried rive wss so good. like Chinese fried rice but def with an African twist. the chicken was also very flavorful. and there was a big portion. the pics dont do it justice. but I did order 2 meat pies in BEEF and only got 1 fish meat pie. mistakes happen so I won't fault them . I will say I didn't really like the meat pie it was very thick flour dough with little fish and veggies inside. it was mostly made of the thick doughy wrap"

"The food here is always delicious! And so flavorful!!! The Lomo Saltado is juicy and perfectly seasoned. Yuca is soooo crispy and hot, an instant order!!!! And the best Rice I've had, I always order an extra side."
"My son brought home chicken from here last night and it was so delicious and tender. Unfortunately when I ordered it again today it was very dry with little authentic Peruvian flavor. More like a dry rotisserie chicken for a grocery store. Sauces were good, not like other Peruvian restaurants but still good. Sides were small for ordering two whole chicken meals."

"(I ordered DoorDash) I ordered the 1/2 Chicken Meal, with onion rings, fries, and a side of cheese fries. The food was packaged wonderfully, and was nice and hot on arrival. Inside of the jalapeno poppers container, there were five chicken wing sized jalapeno poppers. This would be my first time trying jalapeno poppers. It was a generous portion of half a jalapeno and significant filling, to compliment. They honestly weren't too hot and I rather enjoyed them. Inside of the container for the rotisserie chicken, fries and onion rings, there were a few pieces of chicken and six onion rings. The chicken had a beautiful herb-like taste to it. The chicken skin was soft and easily torn apart. The chicken meat was tender and able to be pulled away easily, while at the same time remaining juicy and flavorful. The pieces included in the half chicken were the leg, thigh, breast, and wing. The onion rings were a lovely beer-battered type, with light fluffy crunchy breading and a nice tender onion inside. This is my favorite way to get them. These are not the cheap style crunchy-crisp ones with a hard exterior shell. Inside of the container for the cheese fries there was a generous portion of cheese and fries with the cheese being evenly spread across the top of all the fries. The cheese fries were lovely. The fries were cooked just right and the cheese had just a slight hint of a spiced kicked to it, while remaining in the background on the edges of your tongue, not a full-frontal heated assault. On the downside, The meal didn't come with any napkins or utensils. Though with this kind of meal you shouldn't necessarily need it - but it would have been nice to see that it was included, as an option... Overall, the meal was enjoyable and I would highly recommend it to anybody looking for a new rotisserie chicken place. This one is a win in my book!"

"All of the dishes we ordered arrived hot and packed well. The hot & spicy option is actually hot & spicy - a nice surprise for this area! Definitely opt for medium or mild if you prefer less heat. The Chicken Satay & dips were yummy. Coconut Soup & Veggie Soup were both nice. For mains, the Crispy Beef with Sweet Basil, Drunken Noodles, and Pad Thai were very tasty. The only slightly disappointing dish was the Massaman Curry - although the flavor was good, the potatoes were undercooked. Nothing we couldnt fix by cooking a bit more tho. Overall, I'd give 4.5 stars and recommend! "
