And the friendliest service award goes to…

The service: I asked or waiter what he recommended which was the right decision as he made some fantastic picks (I’d highly recommend trusting them with this approach). What’s more, I don’t think I’ve never met anyone so enthusiastic about sharing their cultural cuisine with others. Our waiter was overjoyed to keep coming back to our table and explain about the cuisine, how to eat, what sauce to use with the chicken, etc. Obviously very proud of the food the waiter even insisted on introduced us to one the chefs at the end who developed a favorite dish. Tons of fun.

The food: The server recommendations (ceviche, lamb stew, and rotisserie chicken) were all amazing. I never would have imagined such new and exciting flavors were possible from what seem like such simple meats (chicken, white fish, etc). The portions were also enormous especially considering the fairly reasonable prices ($10-$15 for most entrees and apps). The chicken was tender, cooked evenly and perfectly, and when eaten with some sort of mustard/pepper sauce was very exciting. The lamb stew was very balanced in spiciness enough to have some great complexity while staying well within my comfort range. I was a little curious about the choice of including potato fries as a side with the chicken entre.... it seemed a little out of place to me and detracted from the culinary culteral "immersion" I otherwise enjoyed.

• Pros: Amazing food, extremely enthusiastic service, huge portions
• Cons: The fries detracted a bit from the cultural authenticity

Inka's makes me want to move to Peru!!

This place is amazing. Small dining area, there are not many tables available, and I'd recomend making a reservation for larger (5 or more) parties. The meals are not vegetarian friendly. But if you are a meat-eater, get ready for a treat! Amazing Steaks, seafood & chicken dishes w/ rice and plaintains. I had the Bistek Pobre and practically licked the plate it was so delicious. Also, make sure you save room for dessert--I've never had Peruvian Ice Cream before, but apparantly it is made from some fruit only found in Peru, and although it looks strange--it was delicious!! Even aside from the food (which our entire table of first-time peruvian diners raved about) the service was great. We lingered a long time talking over our meal, and though our server was attentive, he was not at all rushing us out the door. I felt welcome and comfortable, and would recomend Inka to anyone looking for a different dining experience!! Yum!

• Pros: Food & Service were both above Par
• Cons: Little hard to find if you've never been before.
