    Pollo a LA Brass whole chicken
    Lynn W.

    I found this place a 20 minute walk from Columbia University because me and my bf wanted chicken. We ordered the whole chicken with rice and salad, and it was really great. Very filling for just $25. The service was great, the waiter was super polite! Ambiance was also very nice!

    I've yet to have a bad experience at Harlemite. I especially love the fried fish with plantains and that coconut sauce. Yum. Cocktails are refreshing, outside seating weather is here! Overall service is attentive and usually polite. Great for solo, small groups or even a larger group.

    Love love this restaurant! Our food was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive. Highly recommend.

    This Peruvian restaurant is known for its seafood, but their meat and rice dishes are equally stellar. This was my first visit to Harlemite, and everything was exquisite -- from making the reservation to the food and the service. Our waiter was very friendly and gave helpful recommendations on what to order. My pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) came with rice or fries and salad, but I requested to substitute the rice/fries with tostones, and they happily accommodated at no extra charge. The meal was affordable and super flavorful -- no one does rotisserie chicken like Peruvians! And that's coming from a non-Peruvian. My friends ordered lomo saltado and shrimp chaufa (fried rice). The lomo saltado was a bit heavy on cumin, but the portion was generous and otherwise well seasoned. I'd definitely come back here. I do wish they were on OpenTable or Resy since I had to message them on Instagram to make the reservation, but fortunately they're responsive. Now to get that free dessert!

    Love the ceviche here! The fish is super fresh and chicken is super juicy. Service was very attentive and efficient. Laidback and comfortable vibe!

    On my list of neighborhood go-tos! Can't go wrong with Harlemite. Love having a Peruvian option on the row, and delicious at that. We went during their soft opening a couple of years ago. They were just sort of playing around with the menu, but even then it was good. I don't think any of those menu options survived, unfortunately. Among them were lollipop chicken and I believe a version of mofongo. I don't know what took us this long to return, but I could kick myself for missing out! We suggested it to our friends who were visiting from Columbus OH and we all agreed it was a great choice. Clean plate stickers all around! We had plantains, yucca fries, various chaufa and fried rice and saltado. And it's so cute. Indoors as well as the red tabled back patio. And great friendly patient attentive professional service. Thank you, Harlemite!

    Food & ambiance 10/10 We got the traditional ceviche, lomo saltado and tacacho, all super yummy

    Raquel G.

    So increíble. Wow. What a great spot. Only comment is that the traditional ceviche was VERY lemony (I know my ceviche) but cilantro ceviche was Great. The pollo a la brasa was delicioussssss

    Tallarin a la huancaina con lomo saltado
    Anderson L.

    Tallarin a la huancaina was incredible! Real creamy and rich, paired with the lomo was a hearty and delicious meal. Got a ceviche as well that was the freshest Ive had in a good while from any other Peruvian restaurant. Definitely coming back soon. Awesome chicha too.

    This was good
    Johnson L.

    The fried fish was great! I had a good time here a bright spot in the community. Will be back.

    Papa Rellena and 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken with beans and salad
    Conrad L.

    I ordered takeout and everything was amazing. Papa Rellena is potato with shredded beef, onion and raisin's. The chicken was roasted perfectly and the beans and salad were just right and complimented the meal.

    Salmon & Shrimp
    Dan Hager H.

    We had a lovely meal here. The restaurant was pretty and the ambiance was quiet and relaxed. It was easily accessible by subway. Our server was great and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The traditional ceviche was flavorful with very fresh fish that was not over "cooked" in the marinade. The salmon dish was as beautiful as it was tasty. The lomo saltado with pasta on the side was delicious. We would definitely go back!

Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it. Service is quick without being overbearing, and casual without being lazy. Handsome bartender and server. Better to make a reservation later into the night closer to and on the weekend because the space fills up fast. *will update this review when I've tried more of the food*

There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar. Let Dan guide you through the experience. Trust his recommendations--you will not be steered wrong. He elevates the entire evening. And the playlist? Y'all really did that.

The space itself is genuinely beautiful -- dim lighting, warm decor, and a moody, inviting atmosphere that makes it feel like a proper grown-up neighborhood spot. The service matched the room. Our server was attentive, gracious, and knowledgeable, and the front of house clearly knows what they're doing. The food, unfortunately, didn't live up to the rest of the experience. The pork chop arrived dry, which is hard to forgive on a cut that should be the kitchen's pride. The steak was competently cooked but unremarkable -- no real seasoning, no char to speak of, nothing that set it apart from a passable home-cooked version. For a restaurant at this price point, the kitchen should be delivering more. I'd happily come back for cocktails at the bar -- the n and the staff deserve that. But on the food alone, there are better options in the neighborhood.

It feels like a coffee shop, bar, café, lounge and pre-party stop all at once. The bar staff were "nightclub friendly", they had party energy that this place doesn't warrant. They'd make fun hosts for a great party. The space itself is confusing in an interesting way. It's cold from the tiles and exposed pipes, yet warm from the wooden walls and historic decorative figures. Maybe the idea is that you show up with your group and shape the experience into whatever you want it to be. Still, I'm of the opinion that it's a shared effort. If I'm coming out and spending my money, I deserve an experience. Let me know who you are, and I can decide if you pass my vibe check. This mystified, vaguely eclectic, "we're different but won't say how" approach makes it harder to give new places a chance. I don't see a long shelf life for this one, but hey, I'm just a customer. Came, saw... ehhh.
