  “I went to Piscos Dalston on 28 July with a large group of friends to celebrate Peruvian Independence Day. We travelled all the way there expecting to enjoy a proper Peruvian meal, especially given the occasion. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told that they could not serve us any food on the menu and that the only dish available was pollo a la brasa. This was incredibly disappointing, particularly because we were more than 10 Peruvians willing and excited to eat and celebrate together. Many of us tried to ask if they could prepare or serve something else (starters or whatever), but nothing was done. Even the drinks took a very long time to arrive, and the pollo a la brasa also took ages. When drinks and food finally arrived, there were not good either. I honestly found it unbelievable that, of all days, this happened on Peruvian Independence Day, when you would expect a Peruvian restaurant to be prepared to welcome Peruvian customers and serve them properly. The service was extremely poor, the food was disappointing, and the whole experience was frustrating from beginning to end. Definitely my worst experience at a Peruvian restaurant in London. Luckily, there are plenty of other Peruvian restaurants better than Pisco Dalston and there is an amazing place in Fulham serving really the best pollo a la brasa in London.”

  “You know you’re in an authentic Peruvian restaurant when a man with his son come in who are obviously from Peru & converse in Spanish with the staff. Then the next group are also Peruvian 😁 Really excellent ceviche. Would like to come back! The chicken from the rotisserie at the front would be worth a try.”

  “The food is shocking 🤦🏻‍♂️ where do I start… so this is meant to be Peruvian food and to serve this and call it Peruvian food they should be ashamed of themselves ! I wouldn’t give this to my dog ! The chips were full of oil,soggy and limp, the chicken was not authentic pollo à la brasa it was just a bland chicken leg… the seco was 3 pieces of meat that my dog literally turned he’s nose up at… I honestly wished I could give these guys a no star because the food is honestly appalling. AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!”

  “incredibly authentic hidden gem for Peruvian food and I'm surrounded by people who are of the origin, had the tiradito which is the ceviche in a sushi style with tiger's milk and it was really fresh and zesty and spicy and delicious in a good way and also had the papa la huavaina and the sauce was the best I've had. I had this like great. almost like light creamy and it's delicious. almost cheesy way. very delicious and then the lumos very fresh. too cooked in a Asian inspired manner. cooked really well. fries are great. the green sauce is not like the style you see in New York, which I think is less authentic in New York to be fair, but I think incredibly good plays with a happy hour that has pisco that I will come back for, also, the chicha was pretty good, large tall, deep glasses could deep flavour would recommend a little bit more cinnamon otherwise would come back”

  “We went to Piacos Dalston on a Saturday evening to experience their well regarded rotisserie chicken only to find out that they had run out! Instead, we had Lomo Saltado (good but very small for the price) and Arroz Chaufa con Mariscos (very good and fresh juicy seafood), a Tamal (good) and Anticucho (not as juicy as elsewhere, but nice with the cheesy mix sauce). The Restaurant does very well attracting people for its 2 for £10 cocktail offer. That meant there was a busy lively happy atmosphere on a Saturday night on a stretch in Dalston which is particularly vibey & busy. Service was very friendly and attentive. It was a great shame we couldn’t eat the chicken we drove all across London for. Personally, I felt that rice and the lomo saltado were on the pricey side, but that was made up for by the cocktail offer. We had two Algarubbinas pisco cocktails for £10 which were very tasty. Personally for us another plus point was that we were able to bring our well-behaved Labrador dog who was able to stay under the table outside the main restaurant with us.”

  “Fully dissapointed, after 1hr way by car… expecting what they show on social media.. was nothing like that at all! Pollo a la brasa bland, not flavour at all, we asked for the typical sauces we were given one salad dressing and one spicy huacatay sauce.. and the chicken was so dry.. that we asked for more sauce which we’ve been charge for as seen on the receipt, bag frozen chips, which it was a portion for like 2 people.. and salad with 2 slices of tomatoes and lettuce full of water.. antichucho flavour was ok.. but didn’t feel that fresh.. And also I think thy don’t have much chicha Morada left.. cuz the flavour was not pure and was full of lemon, didn’t have neither much sugar.. Ceviche was good, that’s the only reason why I gave 1 ⭐️ Not really an authentic Peruvian restaurant.. was not even 1 Peruvian song played in 2hrs we spent there.. the service was aswell.. like the waiter was forced to cover that day.. he was sitting on one of the tables waiting to be called.. The menu had some items that were not Peruvian.. Honestly I hope this really change and becomes something like on the TikTok’s!”

  “I visited today to try their famous rotisserie chicken. The flavor was good, but unfortunately the chicken was slightly pink inside, which made it seem undercooked. In my opinion, even for London, it’s very expensive £40 to eat in feels too high. The takeaway option at £30 is a bit more reasonable, but still on the pricey side. They should consider lowering the prices and making sure the chicken is cooked properly.”

  “This is one of the best casual Peruvian restaurants I've been to. Service is very friendly, fast, and attentive and the general feel of the place is quite pleasant. Moreover, we went there on a pretty cold day, but it was suprisingly nice and warm inside. We ordered the Yuquitas (cassava fries) -- nice and crispy, a tamal, empanadas, and Arroz con mariscos. All were delicious, but the rice with seafood was our favorite. Plenty of seafood cooked just right, the rice is nicely done, and the sauce is very flavorful. I will be going there again and trying some of their other dishes.”
