    One of San Fernando Valley staples. They've been here since i was a kid Food is always good. Service is fast. Cool outside patio. Nice street view. #citylife

    Alfajores, delicious dessert! The texture of the cookie was unique

    I did not know much about Peruvian food, other than it involves a tasty green sauce, so I visited this traditional and well reviewed restaurant that was kind of off the beaten path. I went with a Peruvian friend who was able to guide me on menu suggestions and it did not fail. Everything was fresh and delicious and I found the different flavor profile of the Peruvian food to be exciting for my mouth. Fairly simple restaurant with basic decor, but amazing food. They specialize in Peruvian rotisserie chicken, which I will probably try next time. The service was excellent and very helpful, I look forward to my next visit!

    This place is pretty rad. Totally did not expect to see a stage inside when I picked up the food, especially with a live singer singing rock en español. It's a casual sit down restaurant with great food. We got the family meal and 3 generations of family members loved it. Beans are slightly different here and lovely since we eat so much rotisserie meals. Thanks yelpers for helping me find this place

    This place is really good, we went for a 2nd time on Monday for dinner. I had the Lomo Saltado and my husband had the Tallarin Verde Con Pollo ala brasa, OMG the food was delicious. Thus place is one of my top Peruvian restaurants.

    Not the best Peruvian food in the area. We ordered three pasta dishes and two with carne asada and piece of chicken. The price for the pasta dishes was a little pricy. The chicken was dry and flavor was not good. The tables were a little two close to each other which makes it weird. The piece of carne was cook like it was boiled meat rather than seared. We also ordered fried seafood dish as well, upon asking what's taking so long, waiter said we never ordered it. SMH. We were the only table who also didn't get ask if we were doing ok and if we needed anything else. I wouldn't come back.

    Lomo Saltado

    We come solely for the Ceviche Mixto and Lomo Saltado. Both are SO tasty and satisfying. The Ceviche is sooo acidic and addicting. The Lomo Saltado is a huge portion, good enough to share and the perfect amount of saltiness. A staple in our restaurant rotation.

    Already looking forward to my next visit , the chicken was so flavorful and juicy it came with two sides and it was a big order. the lomo saltado the meat was so tender and had such great flavor, as great as the those dishes were, I have to say the ceviche was my favorite. Absolutely delicious just the right amount of spice and it was a very decent portion for the price. So glad we gave this place a chance, it's going to be a regular for me from now on.

    Lomo Saltado

    The food taste great. But the seating is too crowded. Elbows width apart. It's uncomfortable. The music is really loud as well. Too loud for the small space. I would also like to add once you get your food that's it no refills and no one is checking if you need anything once you're served. The musician wants a tip and so do the waitresses when you leave. I won't be returning anymore.

    Best Pollo we've had outside Peru. Authentic vibes with live Latina rock music. Nice market, sells Lucuma Ice Cream!

    I've had these photos sitting in my camera roll for quite some time, and I kept telling myself,…read more"I'll leave a review soon." When I finally logged into Yelp to do just that, I was genuinely saddened to see that this place has since closed. It honestly broke my heart, because this was one of those dining experiences that truly stayed with me. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was stunning--beautiful rooftop vibes, warm energy, and a space that immediately made you feel like you were about to experience something special. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully executed, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. You could taste the care, creativity, and intention behind each bite. The Peruvian inspiration throughout the menu was both authentic and elevated, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the chef herself coming out to introduce herself. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate. You could tell she truly poured her heart into her food. She took the time to explain the inspiration behind the dishes, and it made the entire meal feel even more meaningful. That level of personal touch is rare and so appreciated. Looking back at these photos now just reminds me how special this place was. Delicious food, a talented and thoughtful chef, and an overall experience that left a lasting impression. It's such a shame this spot is no longer around, because it truly deserved all the love and recognition. If the chef ever opens another concept, I will absolutely be first in line. Thank you for such a memorable meal--this is one I won't forget.

    Food was great. I ordered one drink: PISCO PAINKILLER and it was all foam, ice, and only 3-5 sips…read moreof the drink itself. Not worth it for only a few sips. It was cashless payment. I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

It's better to come right around when they open to escape the lines. Doesn't matter when you come, people will come in drones to eat this delicious food. They do a tasty Lomo Saltado ($22.75) and the portion size is MASSIVE, it could easily be shared among two people. I ate the whole thing and immediately entered a food coma and my belly was smiling..I swear. They bring a complimentary hot dinner roll with butter before they bring you your dish. The green aji verde is spot on, it's spicy, but not overly spicy and it has great flavor. Prepare to cover your food with this delicious sauce. I will definitely be back for Lomo Saltado and to try other dishes. FYI, There's a 3.5% charge for using a credit card, so pay cash and a save a bit.

We paid $86 plus tip she didn't deserve for lomo saltado, pescado frito and shrimp cerviche. $100 for 2 people and couldn't even get a refill. I'm good with paying that price if the service reflected that. In conclusion food is good- but not good enough to pay the high prices and bad service.

The Peruvian food is still as good now as it was then. I ordered the Aquadito de Pollo which is a chicken soup with a distinct herbal flavor. There is plenty of tender chicken in the soup. It was a good start to my main which was Saltado de Pollo, my favorite. The dish was nicely prepared with a good ratio mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes, and French fries. It was not too salty at all. Rosty seems to make an exemplary Saltado de Pollo. The Chicha Morada was refreshing with the meal. I would return to Rosty if I am in the area again. Dining areas are comfortable with staff being friendly and efficient. The neighborhood looked gentrified with many other businesses in close proximity to explore. Street parking is usually available on the side streets if none is found in front of the restaurant.
