Great little spot, menu had a mix of both Peru & Western Food, I had a Chef special which was delicious and the staff very friendly and it was reasonably priced.

Great service, food, and atmosphere. Our waiter Carlos was very attentive and funny, but most importantly he provided an excellent level of service. Highly recommended for tourist who are unfamiliar with Peruvian food and would like a good introduction. Also, the venue is away from...all the noise and club like restaurants near Parque Kennedy. We had the Lomo Saltado, Aji de Gallina, y Pescado en Salsa con Langostinos.More

Delicious seafood and veggetarian options! They even made a special casserole without chicken for us. The wait staff was kind and enthusiastic, this was one of the best places we visited in Lima!

Honestly very kind staff but to say this is anything other than frozen reheated flavourless food would be lying. It was a very sad empty restaurant on a Saturday night, menu is way too long which is always a red flag (it can’t all be...fresh if there are 10 pages), and food was seriously awful. Fried fish was frozen still on the inside, seafood smelled weird, fish was grey, sauces bland and plopped on the plate like they were hiding the poor quality of the food, rice bland, Yuka croquettes soggy and no flavor. There are some outrageously amazing restaurants just meters away like Contraste that you should go to instead of coming anywhere near this food. I really hope things change here as it was hard to watch after being fooled by hundreds of good reviews.More

I know, another 5 rating. This place earns it. The staff was excellent and the food even better. We went early and had the place to ourselves. Our appetizer and main courses were very good. Highly recommend!

This was good which was served with love. We received a warm welcome and the menu is extensive. The food was fresh and very plentiful and decent value. The waitress noticed I was coughing and brought me some warm water - very thoughtful and intuitive.

11 of us have come to Peru for a trekking holiday. We all had different dietary requirements. The chef personally came out and asked us what we would like to eat and gave us recommendations.

I wanted a soothing and light soup and i found it at Mama Olla. The "Dieta de Pollo" is a classic chicken soup with all white meat, potatoes, carrots and angel hair noodles. Perfect for adding aji amarillo to your tolerance. Enjoyed with a freshly...squeezed lemonade. Restaurant was quaint, clean with nice enough staff.More

Lovely little restaurant with excellent food. Husband and I had the seafood starter to share which looked expensive by Peruvian standards but was delicious and big enough that we only had one main to share between us afterwards.

We had been looking forward to seafood in Lima and at this restaurant near our hotel it was delicious. Such good food and such a nice waiter that we went back again the next night for the lomo saltado.
