nestled in a dimly lit corner of the city, this coya has vibrant flavors, impeccable service, and luxurious ambiance. While it may be a bit on the pricey side, the experience is undeniably worth every penny, especially if you're looking for a night of shared dishes, attentive service, and great atmosphere. the mood is perfect for an intimate dinner or a celebration with friends, as it was when i came here for my birthday! the guac was prepared on the table, and had a great freshness to it, but was not worth the money imo bc it tasted pretty ordinary to me. same for the antichuchos de pollo - they were so small and tasted like regular skewers to me - they had a nice smoky flavor, but nothing that couldn't be achieved at home easily. i liked the trio de maiz, which had many different types of maiz, and was presented beautifully! the dish was very fresh and almost nutty. also liked their take on patatas bravas, which was perfectly crispy and with a delicious creamy sauce. love love loved the tiradito de pez limon, which had the most melt in your mouth yellowtail crudo/sashimi. it was paired with an amazing slightly spicy green chili sauce, and overall flavors were phenomenal. the orange tobiko wasn't there though... the salmon was one of the best things i had that night - perfectly cooked and tender, melty and delicious! amazing flavor pairings, scrumptious overall! dessert was one of the highlights of the meal as well. the churros were citrusy and fried to perfection, and paired with a great sauce. my personal favorite was the passionfruit mango pavlova thing, which had such a bright tartness! everything was served on what looked like homemade pottery, so lovely! the price point seemed a little irrational for what we received, but everything was delicious, and the overall experience was amazing! highly recommend if you're feeling a bit posh or just want to treat yourself! read more

Easily my favorite restaurant meal while working in London this week. Our team was excited to see so many cocktail choices. I went with the classic Peruvian drink- pisco sour and it was very good. Our table started with the Cerviche sampler which was beautifully presented. Ordered a number of mains to share- grilled steak, Chilean sea bass over creamy rice, fried rice with chicken added, etc. All the dishes were amazing! Service was really good, gave us some good suggestions to order. The restaurant itself had a very hip vibe and the ladies loved that there was a shelf that pulls out of the chair for resting your hand bags on. Highly recommend and we will be back next time we are in London. read more

I came with the mindset that I was here for vibes only, and that the food would be subpar. I was overall impressed, though it may have helped to have low expectations. Live DJ after 7pm and the vibes were spot on - it felt like I had stepped into an underground rainforest with house music in the background. I wish it wasn't so dark though - we sat on a separate floor from the DJ and could barely read the menu, people were even using their phone flash lights to order because it was so dark. Thoughts on food we ordered: - Calamares con Ocopa: the calamari itself was fine, was covered in an interesting green sauce (I couldn't see because it was so dark). It didn't taste bad but not my favorite dish - Atun Chifa ceviche: this was surprisingly good, a very small bowl but reminded me of truffle tuna poke and would order again - Wagyu Bao: my favorite dish! Came with 4 bite-sized Bao buns that were so delicious on the inside and would def order again - Lomo de Res (spicy beef): pretty tasty (almost too salty) but the amount of meat they give you is pretty laughable for a main dish...the portion was smaller than the palms of my hands, and my hands are pretty small. This was 100% not worth the money and made me wish I had eaten before coming to dinner so that I wouldn't be left so hungry after. - Broccolini: this was a side and it turned out bigger than our main beef dish. It was slightly undercooked, but nicely flavored and a good side to even out our main dish For drinks I ordered the Tokyo Fizz, which was super refreshing and had more 'volume' than the other drinks. It didn't seem to have much alcohol though and almost tasted like a mocktail. And lastly for dessert we ordered the Tres de Leche, which also surprised us with a crunchy caramel candy on the outside that was very delicious. Overall, I was disappointed with portions here but had a great, vibey experience. read more

If you have a couple hours to spare, Coya is a must-visit in London. Peruvian-Japanese food that exemplifies an understanding of flavor -- each dish was just the best version of that dish that we've tried! The hiramasa starter was a revelation, every ingredient augmenting its yumminess; the crunchy, juicy kale manchego salad was easily the best salad I've ever had. The chilean sea bass risotto tasted as vibrant and rich as it looked (not pictured, but definitely in my risotto top 3) and the Peruvian potatoes with truffle were just as flavorful. The desserts were lovely as well. The 'pina colada' was more unique, but as a chocolate lover, the orange-lime churros were my winner. Admittedly, service was very slow when we visited, but this seems to be abnormal as they offered us a free dessert for the wait. If you love good food, you will love what Coya has to offer.

This place is absolutely beautiful! The food, the cocktails and the service is outstanding! The DJ plays great music and it is a whole vibe!!

Are you interested in fast food? That's exactly what we received on our recent visit to COYA. Within minutes of ordering our dinner we received 75% of our food all at once. Unless Dumbledore is floating in the kitchen, using his wizard magic to blast out dishes, there's no way this food was made to order. It had clearly been pre-made, sitting back there, waiting for someone to order it. That type of clamslamming is fine at Olive Garden when I'm triple hangry, but not at an expensive meal like this. When we told the waiter that we wanted the service slowed down, he told us he'd relay our wishes to the kitchen. Ten minutes later, our table had finished a few of the initial dishes and they immediately brought out the rest of our food. With a few pieces of ceviche left on our shared dish, a server slopped it onto one of our plates while saying "do you want to finish this?". Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes. In addition, the music at COYA was so loud that we could barely hear each other speak. Both the food and the house music blasting out of their speakers were delivered at 160 beats per minute. All of this being said, I actually would recommend COYA. To an enemy. read more

Trendy place, we went there for dinner once and today for lunch. Latin influence atmosphere and food. Work well with tapas style, we ordered two appetizers and main dishes with one side. Food were excellent, yellowtail sashimi was fresh and delicious, sea bass ceviche was citrus and salty with dried corn, amazing works well. My main was miso grilled sea bass which was juicy and has good flavor, my BF beef steak was well seasoned. Side dish was aubergine was great. Definitely recommend. read more

Good but not amazing. Food was good but felt a bit rushed. Like as soon as we took our last bite of anything they took the plate/bowl away. Also very Miami vibe in terms of the oontz oontz house music played by a live DJ all night. read more

Good location and very good ambience. Service was prompt although you get the feeling the waiters try to up sell as much as possible. Recommend the lamb chops and the chocolate fondant. Of course you cannot come to a Peruvian place and not have pisco. As a traditionalist the pisco sour worked well but if care to have infusions, the blueberry & lavender combo worked well. read more

I've always enjoyed this restaurant. However this most recent experience wasn't great. After being greeted upon sitting down we waited 15 minutes for our drink order and had to call over a manager to take our food order The food was pleasant both in quality and presentation, but the lack of attention as a dining guest to order a second round of entrees was very poor. The yellowtail sashimi, the hamachi truffle and the seabass with rice we're all highlights of the meal. The lack of service and desire for more beverages was the biggest area of opportunity. read more

COYA - Sashimi dishes, and truffle hamachi - Peruvian Near Me - London, XGL

Coya is an outstanding place for a dinner date. I came here with my boyfriend for a special occasion and everything was perfect! The restaurant was chic and lively, with a DJ playing throughout the night at the bar and small dance area towards the front of the restaurant. We started with some Chilean white wine, which was fruity and crisp and was going to pair well with a seafood-heavy menu. The Coya menu featured Peruvian small plates consisting of ceviche, sashimi and grilled items. There are three things that were a must: the Atun Chifa ceviche, Hiramasa sashimi and the Arroz Nikkei iron pot. The Atun Chifa is a yellow fin tuna ceviche prepared in a citrusy dressing with a touch of soy and sesame and some prawn crackers, served atop a bed of shaved ice. This dish was really creative, flavorful and refreshing! I definitely recommend this for an appetizer. The Hiramasa sashimi is a great follow up to the appetizer. This dish featured king fish sashimi served with a truffle and mushroom dressing. It was delicate yet indulgent. I couldn't get enough of the dressing. The Arroz Nikkei is basically a sea bass risotto served in a hot stone pot. I'm not a fan of risotto but this was recommended by a friend and it exceeded my expectations. I've had my fair share of overcooked and dry sea bass but this one was succulent and cooked to perfection. The risotto was creamy but not mushy. All the flavors were really well balanced in this dish and the squeeze of lime helped to enhance all the flavors. I would come again for any of these three dishes. Additionally, my boyfriend and I also shared some wings, crab tacos and a chocolate dessert. The crab tacos were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside but the wings were nothing mind blowing. The waiter gave us a bowl of lemon water to wash our fingers in afterwards, which was a plus to the service here. The rich chocolate molten cake was really yummy paired with a scoop of tangy passion fruit ice cream. Overall, dinner at Coya was a refreshing and very enjoyable experience! Our waiter was attentive and friendly, and the food and wine were great! I've never experienced Peruvian cuisine prior to this and the food here makes me want to visit Peru. P.S. There's also a free coat check at the front, which is great when you don't want to carry around your winter coat especially if you're planning to hit the dance area. read more

The space and the atmosphere were completely amazing. I felt like I was in South America the second we made it down the stairs. The wait staff was very attentive and took care of us well. A DJ was playing near the bar which added to the cool vibe. All of the food was good, but not I was as impressed as I thought that I would've been given the prices for what we ordered. Again, all food was great, but I wasn't blown away. And it was VERY pricey. My husband ordered what was dubbed a "margarita" from the cocktail menu and was not especially happy with what he received as it did not come remotely close to being a margarita. Overall, it was really cool place, but I wouldn't make a point of going back for dinner. For drinks and the atmosphere, possibly. read more

Fab fab fab fab place. Went here for a date with my hubby dearest .. we started with crisp glass of Albariño. The fried calamari is brilliant and quite different to the ones you usually get it. The ceviche trio was awesome and refreshing. With food so good, we got greedy and over ordered the prawn tempura.. it was so light and great. For the mains, we had the spicy beef fillet and the tiger prawn. The spicy beef is the best piece of meat I have had till now. It was out of the world. The service is what blew my mind. The staff are brilliant, they are always there to attend to you yet not hanging around you. Very unpretentious place that serves great food and has fab staff. Totally totally recommend this to anyone .. must try this place read more

It was after this meal that I realized, food truly makes me happy but I gotta enrolled in a gym while living here in London, even though I hate the gym and it's SO expensive. £££‍ My favorite dish: truffle ceviche with a slight kick & the sea bass grilled to perfection. We went to the @coyaangelcourt location but posting on @coyamayfair because they don't seem to have a yelp page, yet. Food and ambience were excellent 5 BUT I took of 1 in my rating because the service was surprisingly not good at all. Our main waiter was all over the place and didn't come to check up on our table, instead, we had to flag him down or ask other people to get him for us. For s nice restaurant, this was disappointing. Also, I didn't not like their cocktails very#Peruvian #food #lover #porkribs #broccolini truffle #ceviche #beefskewers #seabass #chocolatecake #cheesecake #coya #coyalondon #nofilter read more

My husband and I were on completely different pages (not unusual) after dining at Coya last month. Whereas I'd give Coya 3 stars, he'd give it a 4.5. Ultimately (and obviously) I decided to go with 4 stars. Ambiance: We went for dinner and the place filled up around 7pm, right when we arrived. Coya is dark and sleek and a probably not a place for a child (who was with us, as she most always is). Service: Good. The waitress was friendly. The one thing I didn't like was her recommendation to order 2 appetizers, 1 entrée, and one dessert per person. If we'd followed her suggestion we'd have had WAY too much food. Food: There were hits and some misses. -- Pollo Tacos - These are TINY. I mean each is probably 2 bites. I didn't try these but my daughter loved them so much she ordered another. I cringed since they were very overpriced. -- Papa Seca - This was interesting. I couldn't taste the egg and instead just tasted potatoes. I don't think this was a hit for anyone at the table. -- Lobster - This came over rice and was very good. A bit chewy but we all still enjoyed this dish. -- Lubina Chilena - The seabass in this dish was delicious! Perfectly cooked. -- Patatas Bravas - Terrible. Definitely don't recommend this greasy side. -- Asparagus - Nothing special and I don't want to think about how much we paid for 6 stalks of asparagus. Pricing: Most tapas places lean towards the expensive side and Coya is no exception. Overall: Not sure I'd return here but apparently my husband wants to back. I'll let you guess who'll win that battle. :) read more

Up and coming Peruvian restaurant. Posh and chic. What sets apart is the quality of food at Coya. Strategically positioned on the edge of Piccadily (118), there is a special function room at the parlor level. The bar and restaurant is one level below ground floor. Cloak room is also situated on the lower level. I didn't hangout at the bar but it looks well stocked The food is really nice. Out of the 7-8 things we have ordered and shared, only one was not at par. Ceviches were good - the only complaint is the size of the plate. We ordered sea bass which was fantastic. Beef on a skewer was equally mouth watering. Must try. Our service, bar few small delays, was pretty good. A must visit read more

This was in the top three meals I had on my monthlong Europe vacation--and considering one of them was Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, that's saying something. It was pricey, but the food and service was well worth it. Our waiter was a bit eccentric yet extremely enthusiastic about the menu. The Ron Jeremias was one of the best cocktails I've had--sweet and tangy with a generous slice of passionfruit on top. From worst to best raw dishes: lubina clásico, atún chifa, pez limón. That last one (yellowtail tiradito) was a definite highlight. From worst to best warm dishes: arroz nikkei, broccoli, spicy beef, octopus. For dessert, the chocolate fundido and caramel con chocolate were very solid and more than satisfied our sweet tooth. Overall, everything ranged from decent to fantastic. Would love to return next time I'm in London. read more

This is by far, one of my favorite restaurants in London. I also live in Miami so this restaurant makes me feel as if I'm there and not in London.

They have a DJ plays Latin lounge music that sets the mood. Every dish and drink I've had was absolutely well made and exciting in taste and visually. Note the whiskey sour drink infused with poA few favorites are the rum drink, the pork ribs and iron sea bass dish. read more

I came here with a large group of friends to try their sunday brunch menu. I don't think any of us felt particularly welcome, but although the service felt a bit off, the yummy food means they still deserve 4 stars. For the brunch menu, they'll bring starters and dishes to share, so you just need to choose a main dish...then more sharing deserts are presented last. Everything we tried was gorgeous. I loved the cerviche the edamame, the meaty skewers and the calamari. I shared mains with my friend so got to try the roast lamb and the sea bream...both of them were delicious. Other good points: - You can have bottomless champagne for £20. They were very clear that they would not serve the bubbles until we had food...and that when we received deserts, that would be our last top-up. All the rules made it sound like they were going to be stingy with the bubbles...but they were pretty good at keeping our glasses full! - For some reason, just after we finished out mains, there was a magician who came around to show us some card tricks!! Strange things: - The waiters seems just a bit cold and odd. - The menu is a little bizarre. You just have to choose a main dish...and they have options for £36 or £46. And then they have other options for +£10 (so I'm not sure why they don't list them in the £46 menu!?) It is all a bit confusing. read more

This place is sexy. Sleek on top, speakeasy on the bottom and the food? Oh si si si! The best Peruvian I've had outside of Lima. They have multiple versions of ceviche, tiradito, all the classic small dishes (e.g. anticuchos, causa), meats, fish, an extensive bar menu and a stunning-looking dessert menu (see: http://www.coyarestaurant.com/restaurant-bar/menus/deserts-coya-mayfair.html - um Mousse de Lucuma? Lucuma mousse, passion fruit, yuzu sorbet and sesame seeds... wow.) Oya Coya! read more

I can't rave about this place enough. The food is excellent, the decor is unique and funky in very calculatedly elegant way and the patrons are gorgeous. Everything from the layout, the bar, the lighting, to the music is spot on. Well done by the Zuma/La Petite Maison group. Book in advance as it fills up months in advance. And don't be conned into the Members only bar for 600 quid annually, you can get in even without the precious little card - and it's not worth it. One of my new London faves. read more

Buddha Bar for Peruvian cuisine. Peruvian food is all the rage and this uber chic and trendy place at the top of Piccadilly is the place to be seen and scene. Gorgeous decor of rich dark wood and warm accents go with the sexy cocktail list. Coya is definitely aiming for the bar scene here though its infusion Peruvian menu was extensive, and quite good -though not amazing. Ceviches are the strong suit here as are there small bites. Service was friendly though also not amazing. It took a while to get the orders in. And if you sit on the back near the open show kitchen you will hear the constant shouting of 'service' from the staff awaiting food pick up. But for atmosphere and menu this place rocks and is a great time. Expensive, yes, but where in Mayfair isn't. The upstairs members only lounge club looks like its worth getting to know someone for a peek in, but if not the bar and restaurant will do just fine for a good time. Worth a shot. And by that I mean a tequila shot... read more

Absolutely amazing food. Was a real experience. We asked the waiter to choose a selection of food for us and we got to try lots of new things. Felt really well looked after!

Visited Coya Mayfair our first night in London and by the time we left, it ranked as the best meal we had during our stay. Food, ambiance and service were outstanding. Having never before dined on Peruvian food and needing some guidance with the menu, our server could not have been more informative and accommodating. He was right on target for the amount of food to order (he even said our 5 dishes shared, should be sufficient and to not over-order!) and the selection was perfectly balanced and matched to our taste. We enjoyed every delicious bite of Yellowfin Tuna Ceviches, Yellowtail Tiraditos, Josper Octopus, Pork Back Ribs and a side of broccoli. Can't rave enough about Coya! Not to be missed when in London. read more

Food is good but this place thinks it's much cooler than it is. The music is loud. The service is alright. And the wine is very overpriced.

I love Peruvian food, but this restaurant takes it to the next level. We had the flight of vegetarian ceviches, Ensalada Peruana (served with a lovely vinaigerette), Patatas Bravas, Solomillo de Res (for me), and Chicha Morada for dessert. The food was fresh, interesting, based on the traditional but with exceptional stylistic updates. Nice to have beautifully crafted vegetarian options for vegetarian husbands. The service was excellent with a host of attentive but not overbearing servers. Not that it matters, but the main waiter looked exactly like the artist formerly known as Prince. I thought about standing on the table and singing Purple Rain, but restrained myself. read more
