    reminiscing hard thinking about my london trip so i thought i would write a review for this bougie ass spot i had the pleasure of visiting. first off the vibe of the place was a 10/10. music was bumping at the bar and the ambiance when we got to our table was great. the food was helllla mf pricey but thankfully it was covered so we went in and tried basically the whole menu lmao. the lamb i had was super juicy and flavorful. can't forget about the dessert and drinks... coming from a sweet tooth myself the ice cream flan is a musttt.

    Very sophisticated cuisine. Fusion of oriental and modern central America cuisine. Good choice of food and wine. Decorated in modern style. Impressive. Service is great. Good for companies and couples.

    Disappointing. Coya is a Peruvian restaurant. Some of the food is terrific while other dishes are just adequate. The service is just okay. Overall there are many spots for an interesting dinner.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Beef steak and aubergine
    D K.

    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.

    Highly recommend as we randomly just stumbled upon it. Fantastic drinks! And there is not a bad dish in the house. Fresh fish and tender beef.

    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.

    Wonderful lunch celebrating a birthday, with the extremely attentive staff, not to mention the most gracious Chef Sanjay, and best of all the beautiful and delicious starters, entrees and accompaniments with all manner of flavors and textures. What a wonderful way to experience Peru!

    Sashimi dishes, and truffle hamachi
    Adam S.

    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.

    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.

    a good place for dates, dime lights and lounge music. South American style decor. Food is O.K., it's relatively over priced.

    Food is overpriced and bland. Trendy atmosphere masks below average dining. You can do far better in Mayfair.

Stepping inside we were immediately greeted with a genuinely welcoming smile. The manager and his staff are warm, friendly, and professional. We actually ate there on two occasions because the food is so good and the ambiance casually elegant and inviting.

The ratios of ingredients and spices were just right. We were never made to feel rushed so we took our time enjoying the flavors and textures -- it was a delightful experience and we plan on returning when we're back in London next year.

The lounge is perfect for an intimate date night with the low lighting and cozy couches. Parsnip (£24): Their take on the espresso martini! I hate that it's the best one I've ever had. I hate it because I don't live in London. I also hate that no one else to my knowledge has thought to add whipped cold foam to espresso martinis. A non-alcohol alternative was also listed with its respective ingredients (I assume this is wherever applicable), and I appreciated the inclusivity.

Service was lovely, and we didn't feel rushed as they were closing. We came on a Wednesday evening so we were seated immediately, but I bet the wait can get long on a weekend.
