Quick info
About Sabor Peruano
On Newington Butts in London, Sabor Peruano is a Peruvian restaurant where dishes are made to order once a table sits down. The menu spans anticuchos, ceviche, lomo saltado, ají de gallina, and arroz chaufa, with fried cassava and ceviche a common starter pairing. Pollo a la brasa comes with rice and a peas sauce on the side. Pisco sour is a frequent order at the table, alongside Inca Kola, Peruvian beer, and chicha morada, and picarones or lucuma ice cream round out the meal. The dining room is walk-in, with no reservations taken, and a television sits in the seating area. The restaurant is family-run, with the owners working the floor and speaking with guests directly rather than through separate front-of-house staff.

Customer Review Summary
Lomo saltado is the dish reviewers name most, praised as tender and well seasoned and said to taste just like it does in Peru. The pisco sour comes close behind, called refreshing alongside the food. Ají de gallina, described as rich, creamy and comforting, also draws praise, as do the ceviche, anticuchos, fried cassava, tamal, arroz chaufa and a quarter pollo a la brasa with a smoky flavor. Several Peruvian diners and people with Peruvian family call the cooking authentic, and one visitor who tried Peruvian restaurants in France and Belgium says only here did they find the flavors they missed. The owners come up repeatedly as kind, and the place is described as family-run. Portions are called generous, and one reviewer notes plenty of vegetarian options. The one criticism is from a diner who found the pollo a little dry, though the rice and the peas sauce were well spiced. Among desserts, one reviewer traveled with the hope of eating the picarones again, and another singles out the lucuma ice cream.

“Firstly, the food was so good, Im peruvian myself and it tasted so authentic. Second time coming here and I loved it each time! Especially the aji de gallina dish, and the chicha morada! Even though me and my 5 friends arrived 45 minutes before closing time, they were so kind to squeeze us in and gave us amazing service whilst we were there! Rly appreciate their service and making sure we were all happy.”

“The owner from Peru is very nice, helpful and can speak many languages (German, Italian, Spanish, English). And the food is very Peruvian (spicy) and rico. My girlfriend didn't try lucuma ice cream in many years and she liked it very much and me as well. 😊 And you can watch tv.”

“I am in London for study abroad and really missing my mother's home cooked meals (she is Peruvian). Sabor Peruano immediately made me and my boyfriend feel at home. Every dish was made as soon as it was ordered and came out on perfect time. The flavor of every bite was outstanding and I cannot wait to come back. This place deserves to be packed! Muchas gracias!”

“Absolutely incredible experience at Sabor Peruano. I ordered the anticuchos, ají de gallina, and lomo saltado, and every dish was outstanding. The anticuchos were perfectly grilled and full of flavor, the ají de gallina was rich, creamy, and comforting, and the lomo saltado was honestly one of the best I’ve had — tender meat, perfectly seasoned, and cooked beautifully. What really made this place special was how authentic everything felt. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and genuine, giving the impression of a real Peruvian dining experience rather than something commercialized. And the pisco sour was simply out of this world — easily one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Amazing food, amazing drinks, and a truly authentic vibe. Can’t wait to come back.”
