While in downtown Roanoke, we decided to try this. The seating was immediate and we quickly received our drinks and a small dish of cancha (fried corn) and Peruvian green sauce. We ordered the whole chicken with yucca and plantains and a side of black beans. The food was good and price was reasonable. With all of the choices in downtown, not sure I would make a special trip to eat there again. But if downtown and want to try a Peruvian meal, it is worth a visit. As I was reading the other reviews it reminded me that we, also, had to ask for the black beans after the rest of our food was brought to the table. They were good, nothing special. read more

The dishes we ordered (seafood paella, yucca fries, aguadita soup) were all super flavorful without being overly salty. The service, prices, and flavors were all top notch. read more

The other day when I happened to be in downtown Roanoke, I decided to dine at the Inka Grill as a follow-up to my first visit. I love the decor of this restaurant. It's more modern and elegant than that of their first restaurant on Brambleton Ave. Although the service there is superb. When I arrived a young lady greeted me, took me to my table, gave me the menu and asked what I wanted to drink. After consulting with her on what they had, I asked for a mango drink. It was mighty good, like a mango juice served in a tall glass. For appetizer I order an Avocado Salad with Sea Salt. It was just slices of an avocado with salt on the side. It would have been better with some oil and vinegar as well. For ma main entrée I order.one of my favorites on their menu the Bistec a lo Pobre. This is basically a steak with a special rice, a fried egg, and fried ripe plantain. Inside of the special rice I asked for white rice and black beans. My server goes to the kitchen to see if this was possible, but comes back saying it would be a $2.95 extra to include the black beans. I told her to go ahead. When the food comes out she puts it on the table and leaves. I thought she went to get the black beans but they never arrive. The food looks great but when I cut the steak it was well done and I asked for medium rare. When she goes to bring something to another table I called her and tell her about the steak and the black beans that was missing. She offers to make me another steak but the piece of meat tooked so well and I was so hungry that I decided to eat it like that. She repeated that the black beans would be an extra charge. I told her I didn't mind. She finally brings me the black beans. The beans themselves were a bit hard and not as tasty. The ones I had at Panera Bread the other day were 100% better, but I pour them on top of the rice and eat them like this. For dessert I ordered a Passion Fruit Mousse. It was good but a bit dry and lacked sugar. I still enjoyed my meal but can't understand why they always overcook the steak when medium rare taste so much better. When I order it for delivery via Door Dash, most of the time it arrives well done as well. I still love the Peruvian cuisine of this restaurant, they should just train the new servers better so they can better communicate with the customers and chef. And I think the manager should have come out to at least apologize for the confusion. For this reason this time I'm only given them 4 stars. read more

Inka Grill - Huancaina Yuca and Chicken Anticuchero - Peruvian Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

No prices online. I can't find what anything costs. Their menu online has no info as to how much anything is. I'm not gonna roll up into a restaurant not knowing how much of my hard earned money I'm gonna be spending. This isn't fine dining in NYC. It's Roanoke and if you can't post the prices, what else can't you disclose? I guess I'll never know! read more

I had the arroz con mariscos and it was absolutely delicious. Risotto style rice in tomato seasoning with seafood (calamari, shrimp, octopus, mussels). I have never had something so delicious in my life. The atmosphere was very cozy. 11/10 recommend read more

The food is a bad representation of peruvian cuisine. La papa a la huancaina was bland and runny. El chicharron de pescado was mid at best and the chicha morada tasted like it was halfway fermented. The atmosphere is good but the service was a bit underwhelming as well. If someone asks me for authentic peruvian cuisine, I would not recommend it to my enemies. My mom makes better papa and she doesn't know how to cook. read more

Fantastic food, Lomo Salgado, Pollo a la Huancaina were outstanding, Pisco Sours were great and awesome service. Will come back again!

Today is a "sad" day for Inka Grill. We are parting away from Inka Grill due to dishonest charges at the Brambleton location. We were overcharged to the items that we have had many times in the past. We usually get the lunch specials that come with a bowl of soup. All were ok except for the chicken Chaufa. Normally, it is light and fluffy with big chunks of chicken. Today's this item was off. Dark, greasy, un-appetizing. Aside from the food. We were overcharged for the selected lunch specials that would cost $7 per dish. Today they charged us $10 per dish. We asked them why the price is higher than a couple of weeks ago when we were here during lunch time. The server didn't simply say there was a price increase recently. If he had said that, we would understand. But he said, the $10 price was like this since November 2025. "Bull" Again, we were there 2 weeks ago that was served by the same server. It is not the price difference that I am complaining. It is the dishonesty. It is a small restaurant and we would like to give them some business, but after today I am no longer interested in their business. Food quality also had gone south. read more
