Just ate here and it was fantastic! Was drawn in by the fact that it was all halal but will definitely come back after today. I got a half chicken with platanos and yuca. And my mom got cheeseburger and Philly cheese steak. We both found everything delicious. Will definitely be back! The staff was very nice too!

A Promising Concept That Falls Short
While the idea of showcasing authentic Peruvian flavors is admirable, execution at Peruvian Charcoal & Grill leaves much to be desired. Despite lofty expectations set by its menu and pricing, the restaurant underwhelms in key areas.
Whole Fried Fish: this dish demands perfection but delivers mediocrity. The fish arrived soggy, its crispness sabotaged by the moisture from the accompanying sautéed vegetables. Furthermore, the cumin seasoning, while bold, lingered excessively, overpowering the natural flavors of the fish. For the cost, patrons would expect not only a satisfying portion but also the potential for leftovers, which was regrettably not the case.
Yuca: A bright spot amidst the disappointment. The yuca was tasty and competently prepared, though far from extraordinary.
NY Steak: Adequate at best, the steak lacked any distinguishing qualities to justify choosing it over offerings at nearby establishments.
Presentation & Containers: Serving dishes in foam containers undermines the dining experience, making the food cumbersome to enjoy and further detracting from the perceived value.
Service: Alba, who took the order, stands out as a beacon of positivity in an otherwise lackluster experience. Her warm and welcoming demeanor was one of the few highlights of the visit.
⏳Wait Time: A 45-minute wait compounds the frustrations, especially when the end result is underwhelming.
♂️In summary, Peruvian Charcoal & Grill must make significant improvements to rise to the level expected of its concept and pricing. From enhancing food quality and presentation to rethinking its service approach, there’s plenty of room for growth. Until then, diners might find greater satisfaction at established competitors like Sardi’s or even the prepared food section at Whole Foods or even Giant Food across the street.

I wanted to visit this establishment as it was new to the kentland area. Unfortunately, my satisfaction was not good. I had ordered quarter white with two sides(fries and mix veggies) accompanied with a small side of coleslaw. From over the counter and receiving my order, the food did seem appealing. However, the chicken was terribly dry as others have mentioned, therefore also lacking in taste, just flavorless of seasoning.
The fries were nothing more than cardboard. It seems that the fries type of their choosing do not accommodate the style of food (dishes) being severed there. I skipped the fries, so they went straight to the trash. The mix veggie was okay, but the bite should be at least half of that (Choking hazard) . The Coleslaw was acceptable. It could use a tad more of sugar. The yucca samples I had received were less than okay but far better than the stale fries I was served. The house sause “green vs yellow” was subpar at most. There’s not much to distinguish in taste other than the heat index. Overall, the restaurant needs to focus on certain dishes and not have too many options as the quality of food is diminished. At this time, I would not recommend it. Perhaps I will try again in a few months again if this establishment still exhibits.

Delicious! We came on Memorial Day and got the taco meal which includes 3 overstuffed tacos and a drink for $10.99. The flavor is amazing. Highly recommend getting some chips to scoop up what falls out of the taco. The meat is fresh. The staff are friendly. The restaurant is clean. Would recommend. Will come back.

Don’t come here. The menu has you thinking that the place can be good, but everything here is mid ! The chicken has no flavor, and the French fries should not even exist in this place . I got a gyro, and the container they give you the gyro was practically submerged in grease and then fell apart . Nobody working could understand me, and I’ve had to ask for the drink that I paid for 5 times. This is not Peruvian food go somewhere else

I recently visited Peruvian Charcoal Chicken & Grill, and it was an amazing experience! The star of the menu is definitely the Lomo Saltado and charbroiled chicken and—tender, juicy chicken with the perfect smoky flavor and crispy skin.The marinades are packed with authentic Peruvian spices, and the portion sizes are generous.
The sides are just as good—crispy fries, fresh salad, and that incredible green aji sauce that I could eat with everything. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. The atmosphere is casual but cozy, making it a great spot for both family meals and quick takeout.
Overall, it’s one of the best places to enjoy authentic Peruvian flavors without leaving town. Highly recommend if you love flavorful grilled food!

Wowowow this place was so good i think I have to come back for dinner lol. We had lunch here today and got the smash burgers, they were so juicy and affordable. We also got the wings and whole wings and the flavor and crispiness was out of this world. The juice was also super tasty. They recommended mixing the mango and jamaica juice and that did not dissapoint. I can’t wait to come back and try the whole fish and chicken bowls! Finally, the customer service was great everyone was so kind. Definitely stop by!

I’m confused where reviews are coming from when they say the pricing is higher than other Peruvian chicken spots. If you compare the “Quarter chicken with two sides” offering, their pricing matches all the other Peruvian chicken spots in the area.
Chicken is well seasoned, juicy, and tasty. Green and white sauce are good as well, but I barely needed it when the chicken was already seasoned so well. We loved the green beans and fried rice.
Service might be a little slower, but they need more volume to justify hiring more staff for both front and back of house, so it’s understandable, especially since they just opened.
This place will be in the weekly dinner rotation!
