It is a little different tasting then some of the other Peruvian restaurants we frequent but trust me when I say that is a good thing!
The white rice was completely hard—impossible to eat. The tamales were dry and tough, and the chicken inside was extremely dry and hard to chew. They also had raisins and nuts, which is very unusual for a Peruvian tamal. We were also surprised they didn’t have arroz chaufa, which is a staple in Peruvian cuisine.
We waited nearly 45 minutes for the food. We ordered one main dish and two sides (white rice and plantains) and paid almost $60, since the tamales and ribs (which were also dry) didn’t include any sides.
In summary: friendly service, but the food was a big letdown. We wouldn’t return or recommend it.
We embarked on a culinary adventure, starting with their charcoal-grilled wings, and oh my, they were nothing short of heavenly. Each succulent bite was an explosion of smoky flavor and tenderness. The wings transported us to a realm where flavor reigned supreme.
Then came the Papa a la huancaína, and I must say, it was nothing short of marvelous. Imagine creamy, indulgent sauce draping over tender potatoes like a culinary masterpiece. The sauce itself was a symphony of flavors, marrying creaminess with a subtle kick of spice. It was a divine experience that left me yearning for more.
Even the green hot sauce, while milder than I’m used to, added an exotic twist to the meal. It’s a testament to personal preference when it comes to spice levels, and I appreciated the touch of heat.
To cap off this exceptional meal, we indulged in Alfajores. These delightful confections were a light and sweet ending to our feast. Alfajores are a traditional South American treat consisting of delicate shortbread cookies sandwiched together with a luscious filling, often dulce de leche, and then dusted with powdered sugar. They were the perfect palate cleanser after our rich and savory dishes.
Despite the exquisite food, I couldn’t help but notice the almost-empty dining room. It’s a culinary masterpiece waiting to be discovered by more diners. However, the deserted mall parking lot was a curious sight, indeed, and perhaps that’s why the restaurant was so quiet.
The timing of the dishes was slightly off, with the wings arriving before the Papa a la huancaína, which, in my opinion, should have been the other way around. Nevertheless, the service was generally good, although there is room for improvement. One glaring issue was the absence of someone at the register at all times. We witnessed two sets of customers peeking through the door and leaving because there was no one to greet them.
In conclusion, Nankar Peruvian restaurant is a culinary haven that deserves more recognition. The food is nothing short of divine, and with some tweaks to the service, it could become a thriving dining destination. Here’s hoping more diners discover the hidden treasure that is Nankar and experience the magic of Peruvian cuisine.
The food is so delicious…very well seasoned and the meat is always tender and juicy. The beef chaufa is a fave as are the chicken and lomo saltado.
The service is great there and the food comes out very quickly.
Nankar Peru is kinda tucked away at the entrance to a subdivision, but it’s worth looking for.
