We felt relaxed from the moment we stepped into the restaurant and the knowledgeable staff did a great job recommending their best dishes to us . We were pleasantly surprised by all the dishes we ordered.
I started off with the classic Pinco Punchi and my friend selected from one of the Perivian delights – Inca Cola from the long drink list.
I love the brandy with a hint of sour pineapple and lime juice, topped with salts to give additional flavor . My friend found her drinks quite interesting too.
The king fish tiradito was a must-try . It is the Peruvian version of sashimi prepared in wafer-thin slices and dressed with a slightly sour (lime?) source. The king fish was fresh with no stinky fish odor. It was very mouthwatering and was beautifully presented .
The “Oh my Cod” was unbeatable . This black cod skewers were grilled perfectly that the flesh inside was still soft even though the outermost layer was so crispy . The creamy mayonnaise source on top also made a good combination to the grilled cod.
This dish was incredibly moreish and we really appreciated the server’s recommendation .
The Chicken Chichanones was simply another version of chicken nuggets squirted with fresh lime juice. We found this a bit more like snacks rather than proper dish to enjoy during dinner. I heard that it was very popular in Latin America but it was a bit too spicy for me .
The Solterito Salad combined queso fresco, tomato, potato and various beans together to give a refreshing taste . I think it was a sister of the classic Greek salad with a small variation on beans. It made a perfect balance after the deep-fried Chicken Chichanones.
The Pork Taco was nothing complicated but we needed some carbohydrates to feed our stomach . The pleasant combination of cabbage, onions and juicy pork was wrapped with crispy taco shell. The portion was larger than we expected and we were so full by this time. It reminded us of the Mexico-wrap but with a harden taco shell.
We are delighted to add this brilliant Peruvian restaurant to our best restaurants’ list and we will definitely return to try out more .
The food, service and atmosphere at Chicha were impressive and I can assure you that it is 100% worth the money .
