I attended a family birthday dinner here, and this D'Carbon location definitely stands out. They have live entertainment, which adds a fun vibe--just know it can get a little loud if you're trying to have long conversations. Still, the music is great and really sets the mood. The food was solid Peruvian, very close to authentic with a bit of fusion flair. Everything was well executed, and the service was on point. The servers were constantly checking in, which I appreciated. We ordered a variety of dishes: * Lomo Saltado - Stir-fried sirloin with onions and tomatoes, served over fries and white rice. * Lomo Saltado Montado - Same dish, plus a fried egg on top. * Causa de Camarón - Mashed potatoes layered with shrimp. * Tallarín Verde con Bistec - Al dente spaghetti in a spinach-basil sauce, similar to pesto but with a distinct Peruvian twist. We also tried the Chilcanera Sampler, a flight of three large drinks: Maracuyá (passion fruit), Coco, and Frambuesa (raspberry). All delicious. And of course, we had to try their signature Bulldog D'Carbon, a margarita-style drink with lime, Patrón, vodka, and Grand Marnier. I'd definitely come back to this location--just with the expectation that it can get lively. The entertainment is fantastic, and the food and drinks make it worth the visit. read more

Can only speak about the take out. Ordered 1/2 chicken with chaufa and the lomo saltado. Both were very good. Large portions. The Paterson location makes both better in my opinion. Plenty of parking. Not so sure this location so close to the other one makes business sense. But what do I know. read more

Touristy vibe with an ambience that is extremely LOUD. Food is subpar for the price, especially considering the competition nearby. Additionally, they advertise complementary parking and at the end we were charged (not the biggest deal, but the restaurant should be upfront about it). Also, there are steep stairs at the entrance and it is not accessible to those who need ramps. Overall, meh and overpriced. read more

The food is good and it can definitely be shared. They have Karaoke on Friday and a dJ on the lower level. The drinks were good. The service was good they accommodated a table of 25 for us. The upper level we had absolutely no issues with our dinner or with our bill. They did tell us we couldn't split the bill - we wanted 4 for our table of 25. Which of course they wanted to charge us the extra fees. They added the 22% gratuity and a service fee on top of that which was like 4%. We paid -- no issues there. My only complaint is that while We were downstairs in the club area the "bottle girls" kept trying to push us to pay as a group so they can could obviously make more in tip. They added the gratuity to the billl on our table of 4. whether you like it or not which is fine - but they don't even pay attention to you and they want the full 22%. We had to at one point get up and ask the bartender to help us because the bottle girls wouldn't bring us the bill or our drinks. I'll gladly tip- but damn at least service the table lol read more

Food was amazing!! I had the seafood rice and it was perfection and a huge portion. Not overly salty. Service started off rough. However once we brought it to someone's attention everything went smoothly! For this night there was a singer and it made this place a good night out! Overall you can come here for dinner with friends or even a date! read more

I will start with yes it's very pricey especially when there are a ton of other Peruvian restaurants that will likely be less expensive however for the experience it's okay. They do charge tip automatically which they do at other locations of this specific chain as well. Service is okay. Seems slow on busy days. Good thing their menu is on the iPad because you can make a wishlist and use that to order with since it was super loud the night we went. Great live singer. My lychee martini was amazing but again pricey. Food was good. My fave is the rotisserie chicken because it is flavorful. Lomo supremo is okay. Needs more flavor but their green sauce helps. The calamari was also tasty. read more

First time visiting this incredible hidden gem in Hawthorne, NJ. The drink menu had great cocktails, beer, wines, and much more. The food was DELICIOUS! They truly have something for everyone. I can't wait to visit again and try more things. This establishment has 2 floors. The upstairs area is more of dinner vibes often with live music and brighter ambience. Downstairs has a nightclub vibe, DJ, and lots of dancing. The service was spot on. Food came out quickly and hot. read more

This place was recommended to us from a family member. We were in the area and drove by, so decided to give it a chance. It was pretty empty because it was early in the day. So I can't review the lounge aspect of it. By looks of it - could be very lively at night. The decor was very nice. Good for pictures. My ceviche and Jalea tasted excellent. My cocktail was well made. They have a large screen tv to watch sporting event. They have many menu options except in the dessert department. They had only to 2 options of which neither was a typical Peruvian dessert. read more

Celebrated my niece's graduation for her bachelors in education I have to say the place was absolutely beautiful. The bar amazing the set up phenomenal. They were very patient because we were a large crowd however, our server JUSTIN was absolutely the best. The food was delicious and came in a timely manner, and I don't want to start on the drinks. They were amazing and affordable if ever looking to celebrate birthday graduation dinner party anything this is the spot hands-down, such an amazing crowd we will definitely be back. read more

You'd expect this level of food to be way cheaper. Nothing was expectional that my husband or I had. We came with a couple friends and the music was so loud my Apple Watch warned me I'm in a loud environment. Also do not come here if you have any allergies. They have no knowledge on gluten intolerances and I ended up getting glutened. Their fries have flour and so does their rice so I opted out. All I had was a half chicken, plantains, and the most bland side salad I've ever set my eyes on and somehow came home sick. They also suggest $8 tip for valet for the tiniest parking lot where I could walk to my car in less than 15 seconds to from the door. 18% gratuity is included for a party as small as 5, a 3% service fee, and a credit card fee all for 1 star food. Never again read more

I'm extremely disappointed with the lack of accessibility at this restaurant. We came here on April 2, 2026 for a birthday dinner with a 15-year-old family member who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair. When we arrived, we realized there were only stairs and no ramp or accessible entrance, making it impossible for him to get inside. His wheelchair weighs over 120 pounds and he is unable to lift it himself, so this wasn't a minor inconvenience -- it meant he was completely excluded from the experience. What made this even more upsetting is that we had to leave and find another restaurant, which caused him to feel guilty for something entirely out of his control. No one, especially a child, should be made to feel that way simply for trying to go out to dinner. There is also a designated handicap parking space directly in front, yet no accessible way to actually enter the building, which is incredibly misleading. No accommodations or alternatives were offered by staff. Accessibility is not optional. I strongly urge the restaurant to address this immediately so this does not happen to another family. read more

Went last night in a double date. Vibe was great. Music was fantastic,especially the singer and her interactive nature of getting the patrons involved. The food as also good, but our table placed an order of calamari. It came and while the table was eating we noticed a hair in it. We sent it back with the understanding that same would be removed from the bill. We continued enjoying our night. When the bill came, which was over $500, the calamari($17) had not been removed. The waitress said that too much of the calamari had been eaten before we noticed the hair. In all fairness we were close to 1/2 finished when the hair was discovered. We asked for the manager and her took the dish off of our bill. We thought the issue was done, it was not. Out of left field, a member of the 'security' staff came to our table and threatened us with violence and arrest while claiming to be a police officer. It is still unclear what upset him. No one from our table had spoken with him prior. It was such a scene that he made, we decided that it was time to leave. The security person continued and went to the manager to continue. As we were leaving, I asked the manager what the problem was and the security person was still going. He was clearly unhinged and in need of medication. We will never return to this place even though we were having a good time and spent a significant amount of money there. The hair and other mistakes/miscues by the waitress were not even an issue. The treatment from the member of the security staff who should have no interaction with customers was uncalled for and shows a lack of judgement on the manager for poor hiring practices. It also showed the managers lack of control of his employees. Is they how they normally operate? I can't say. We will never know as we will not return. Oddly enough my wife and I during dinner, discussed this restaurant as a possible location for our daughter's 18th birthday dinner later this month. Nope. read more

I love Peruvian food and couldn't wait to give this restaurant a try. When I arrived I parked in the private lot. I walked in, and the restaurant was super cute. They had beautiful paintings upstairs and downstairs. We were greeted and sat at a booth. Our server was Isaura, and she was awesome. We started with some cocktails and I really enjoyed the sangria. We then went to the appetizers and I ordered the pichanguitas and that dish was delicious! For my meal, I got the shrimp lomo saltado, and boy, was it delicious! My friend enjoyed her chaufa with steak and skirt steak with shrimp. It was an absolute good time! read more

Kinda a tacky-tourist vibe with over-the-top florals all over the place. Wait staff does not listen to the customers at all. Understanding English is problematic but the wait staff either doesn't understand or refuses to and will just repeat something totally different than what you just ordered. Then they totally disappear until check time. And the food, well...presentation is everything, and I mean everything because the food is rather bland though their sauces try to compensate. read more

This place has authentic and fresh traditional Peruvian cuisine with a new cocktail menu with extra flair! The smoking tiki was probably my favorite. My friend and I shared the chaufa mixto which came with fillet and also chopped chicken. Oh my god so delicious and then our server, Mel recommended that we get the molcajete which is basically like a giant cauldron filled with sizzling cheese, and an array of meats, including sausage, chicken, steak, and shrimp with Tostones, for dipping! If you have not been to this place, it should be the next spot on your list! read more

We ordered takeout because it was highly recommended. Very disappointing! We ordered the limo saltado with chicken chaufa. The lomo meat was so tough it was unedible and for the money we paid it was not worth it. Not sure we would give it a second try! read more

We had anticucho and grill octopus for appetizer, very flavorful. My ceviche was great! And the ambience is very nice, I will be back.

Hanging with friends who have never been here. We shared the mussels and the calamari. Both amazing and good size portions. For dinner I had the skirt steak that was cooked perfectly and had lots of flavor. Sandra had the combo fish with the white sauce. Sorry forgot the name. It was fantastic. After dinner we went downstairs to the club area for some drinks and dancing. Great evening. Food is always good and prices are fair. Enjoy read more

Food is good, great ambiance. This review is for the valet parking. I noticed that at least one of the gentleman that parks the cars does not really take care of the cars. I once saw him park a car, get down and slam the drivers door. I understand that parking is tight and they are trying to fit as many cars. Today I noticed my car was scratched. I did not complain bc I did not want to deal with this. I will honestly just stop going there. People take their cars expecting that valet parking will keep their cars safe! read more

Horrendous service and way overpriced. You can get the exact same food at similarly named places in paterson for a fraction of what you spend here. Waitress literally abandoned our table after taking our order. Needed some sort of sauce to go with the dry chicken, but by the time we flagged her down, we were already full. Had to then flag a busboy down to ask for our check and a takeout container, neither of which ever showed up. Naturally the 18% tip was included on a table for 2. The one star is for the singer, who sounded awesome. read more

Ambience is great. However food is subpar. You would think since the prices are outrageous it would compensate, but it doesn't at all. Service also subpar, since the 18% gratuity is already included, it makes sense why the waiters don't actually wait on you, we have no napkins, never asked if we were ok, but r needed something to drink. The piscos were ALL foam . The lady who brought the food out, legit throw our plates on the table. The lounge downstairs is alright, we went down there after our dinner. We sat at the bar (we were the only ones sitting at the bar) took 25 mins for our flight of drinks to come, n they came horribly put together. They must have an issue with napkins because everyone was really cheap about them. Overall, I'd say go there if you want to hit the lounge up after 9pm. Just for some drinks or pregame then go here. But don't plan a whole date here. No worth it. I'm Peruvian and know good Peruvian places WAY cheaper and better hospitality. To put it plain n simple, this places was disappointing. read more

It's unfortunate that I have to give this review, but last Sunday I made a reservation for my mother for her birthday for the following the following week. I was told that I needed to pay a deposit around $100-$200 (Which Sounded quite odd, but I was going to do it anyway). I called about four days later, as I never received any response back in regards to the deposit, and was told I no longer have a reservation as they no longer take them for Saturdays. If that's the case, why on earth, would you even bother taking my reservation in the first place? After speaking to the manager, she flat out says that she won't do anything about it. The answer was absolutely no. My advice to this place, Take care of your customers. Thank you for ruining my mother's birthday. Out there be careful, making a reservation with this place or just go to a different place. For the nonbelievers, I can certainly provide a transcript of my conversations. read more
