Perusa Peruvian Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing food at this place. I will say when they are really busy they have a hard time getting calls or online orders. Better to come in person you will not regret it. Good food, friendly staff and authentic feel.
As a Peruvian, I can confirm that this place has the most authentic food you can get in NJ. Portions might be a little big for 1 person. And they offer a lunch special on weekdays!
Went last night our first time, staff very friendly,clean comfortable casual dinning . Food absolutely delicious!!! I will definitely go again
Perusa is a Gem! My wife and I absolutely love dining at Perusa! The food is always exceptional, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the live music adds the perfect touch to every visit. It's our go-to spot for a great meal and a great time. Highly recommend!
Great!! My husband and I took a chance , we never tried this food before. The restaurant wasn’t much to look at but from the moment we walked in we were greeted by a young lady she said sit wherever. So we did! The food was delicious and she served us some yummy sauces. We had the beef empanadas which were delicious. Then our meals I had a 1/4 roasted chicken with salad rice and fries yum!! My husband had the grilled chicken he ate it all. Definitely glad we tried it
Hidden gem, after so many years we decided to stop by m. Ordered half a chicken which was delicious. It look like a chicken from Costco but it was so much better. Fresh and so much flavor. Sauces were really good as well. Will go back for sure.
Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. I heard about this place from a few guys on a job site. They said the food was great and nice size portions and quick service. They were right! I walked in and asked the friendly young lady at the counter what she recommended. I ended up with a platter that had a 1/2 of a chicken, small salad, generous portion of rice and a pile of fresh cut fries. The chicken was super tender and cooked perfectly! Rice was moist and had a great flavor. The salad dressing was light and fresh and tasty. The fresh cut fries were hot and crispy, not soggy. All in all, it was a very positive experience. You can see this must be a family restaurant as the they all take pride in the food and service. I’ll be back for sure!
As soon as I found this place I went to give it a try. The prices on the menu aren’t low but in my opinion it’s worth trying their serving is very fair for its price. Food was pretty good, well seasoned and flavorful. We ordered the Causa de Atun, Lomo Saltado, Arroz con Mariscos, and the homemade passion fruit and purple corn juice. I would give the food a 10/10 to everything ordered including its presentation. As far as the service, I had no issues. People that worked there during my visit were very friendly. There were three different servers that came over our table and ask if everything was okay. Inside feels very traditional, I liked seeing different wall decorations from the Peruvian culture and the music was simply great. (They also have outdoor seating) *They offer Picarones on the weekends and the lovely part is that it is made very traditionally right outside. We were very full after our meal but will most likely return to give that a try. *Live music on Sundays after 3:30pm sounds also great to come by for lunch with family. * 18% service fee is added to the total. I would love to keep coming back and see how the ambience as far as tables improves with time as this business grows!
