No Peruvian chicken available No plantains available Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon during our travels based on the 4.7 rating the restaurant has (not a clue how). The restaurant is in a little strip mall with 4-5 other restaurants, and I bet any of the other restaurants would have been a better choice. Inka Kitchen looked the fanciest on the outside with its seating area and fresh hanging flower baskets outside. I ordered a water with lemon. Sorry, no lemon, is lime okay? I also ordered an Inka cola. Sorry, we only have 2 liters, no individual servings. Then I ordered a 1/2 chicken with fried plantains & black beans. Sorry, no Peruvian chicken and the plantains are not sweet. The Peruvian restaurant did not have Peruvian chicken or fried plantains. So, I settled for a burrito bowl. I could not have been more disappointed. The chicken was tasteless but salty and tough/dry. There was a tablespoon of black beans, some diced tomatoes, definitely NOT pico de gallo, four slices of avocado, no guacamole, no sour cream. The other person had a quesadilla which they said was okay. So, how the restaurant has a 4.7 review is BEYOND me.
Still one of the absolute best restaurants in Chambersburg, and I'm still loving that lomo saltado while continuing to try more and more of the menu. I just love how colorful and friendly this restaurant is, too! Ignore the low review. He's not the only person who's spent time in Latin America. Some of us actually enjoy good food!
The atmosphere is always so kind and welcoming and the food is always so delicious, we always leave so full and satisfied! There's so many different options you cannot go wrong at all! And Hannah is a wonderful and kind sever! We love coming here!
Fantastic food. We enjoyed Peruvian and Dominican dishes; items we've never had before. I don't recall the names, but one was pulled chicken in a yellow pepper cream sauce with rice. The other dish was a creamy tomato based sauce with shrimp and rice and tostones. Plus a green side salad (the green house dressing simple and flavorful). Several gluten-free options. Quick friendly service, and an easy stop off I-81. Will definitely return to try some more of the menu.
I was actually in the mood for Indian food at the restaurant next door which is closed on Sundays, so decided to eat at the Inka Kitchen where we've visited in the past. As a disclaimer, I hiked the Inka Trail a number of years ago and indulged at a number of Peruvian restaurants, thus had an idea of what to expect . We were immediately and courteously seated and provided with menus and a beverage selection. The waitress was most pleasant and efficient, and other waitresses would pick up our plates when empty, even though they were not our servers. The menu and table settings are unique and distinctive, and importantly, the bathroom was very clean which is a vital indicator to me of the hygienic priorities of the management. Most importantly, the food was delicious with portions more than adequate. The price is reasonable considering that national fast food chains have poor quality food at prices that are not cheap. In summary, try out Inka Kitchen for a distinct treat. I'll bet you'll want to return. I know I will!
Absolutely LOVED this place on previous visits - was aghast upon arriving at the former Lincoln Way location & finding them not there - thankfully the Interwebs came to the rescue & not only was Inka Kitchen still thriving but we now knew how to find them ;) Upon arrival, we were seated immediately and greeted by the familiar fabric-encased menus...woohoo! There are a fair amount of items to choose from - we chose Papa Rellena, Papa a la Huancaina, & Lomo a lo Pobre. Everything was fantastic! Well-prepared & loaded with flavor! The fact that we arrived about an hour before closing & the restaurant was probably 70% occupied says a lot - especially not being in the 'big city'! Staff was great, food was great - definitely give it a try!
The Chicken was undercooked. This place is cheap with condiments. Small thing of ketchup and a all thing of hot sauce which we were charged for. Not coming back!
Inka is so close to our house and we have been going there for a few years now and if I could give it 6 stars I would. The service there is fantastic and the waitresses are very personable. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. The food is very fresh and the salads are fantastic. My favorite is the Chicken marsala which is great. If you are in chambersburg looking for a great place to eat this would be it!
Getting Straight to the Point: - 7:35 pm: Placed a pick up order. Was told it would be ready in 20-25 minutes - 7:50 pm: Arrived. Waited. Waited. Waited... - 8:12 pm I watched as the cook STARTED my order. - 8:26 walked out with my food. Was not given an apology UNTIL I complained...Was told sorry, but it was more of a shrug of the shoulders. - I arrive home to eat my food...my sausage was burned and everything did not taste very well. Stay away from El Dominicano. Extremely disappointing. I wanted to order the chicken, but they told me they ran out...Which I'll explain more down below... Now the lengthy part: Inka Kitchen has moved to their new location and they are having a LOT of problems. I suggest giving them about 2-3 weeks to settle in and work out the kinks. They just opened on May 9th so check back in with them on May 23rd. When I went in, it was not "slammed" or "crazy busy" as they made it out to be on the phone. What did I witness? I saw servers, who weren't sure of what they were doing, scrambling and panicking. I watched as multiple customers complained about a problem in the women's bathroom. I watched the cooks in the kitchen scramble around trying to get food out on the tables. I saw a lot of lack of experience. WHICH is shocking to me since Inka Kitchen has been operating for years, right? I think whatever system they had in place before is not working here on Wayne Avenue. I used to work in a restaurant as a server. We would get SLAMMED. I mean, every table filled, to go orders, AND a line around the block. What I witnessed was not slammed. There were still empty tables and a lot of disgruntled customers because the food was taking long. Suggestions: -Kitchen Line: Change the set up in the kitchen. The kitchen has to work like a well oiled machine. You can't have people scrambling, running into each other in the kitchen. Get the cooks to their stations and have it work like a factory line. Servers should only be going to one area to get food, not looking around the kitchen to check on dishes. I watched as servers were opening up to go orders trying to figure out who's order was what. From where I was standing, it looked like chaos IN the kitchen. -Servers: Get experienced servers who know the menu. Servers who won't tell the customers straight out they don't know what something is or the fact they are new to the restaurant. The servers MUST know the menu. MUST know what the dishes are and should be able to make recommendations. When I called to place an order, I originally wanted a whole chicken with sides. The girl explained they ran out of whole chicken. What she should have suggested was "We ran out of whole chicken, but we still have 1/2 chickens left". THAT would have been better. Again - overwhelmed inexperienced servers. I watched as they made people wait for tables, yet there were 3 tables together that could have been separated. -Check Out System: Maybe add another iPad in order to complete transactions. People were waiting at tables for their checks, servers were scrambling, then people started coming up to the front in order to pay to leave, but then were told their check would be brought to them. Again, very unorganized. -Apologizing: I waited almost an hour for my food when I was told 20-25 minutes. Where I used to work, if something like that happened, we'd give out a slice of flan or some dessert to apologize and ensure customers will continue to come back. To not even get an apology until I complained was not good business. In conclusion (lol), I do think Inka Kitchen has good food (stay the F away from El Dominicano). I think right now they are struggling and maybe should have opened a little later. This is already an established restaurant that happened to make a lot of rookie mistakes. Hopefully they can figure it out and not deter too many people away in the process. IF NOT, well then walk next door to INDIA CAFE. They have some bomb ass food with excellent customer service!! Never had Indian food? Well check out my yelp review on India Cafe! I provide "safe" dishes that you cannot go wrong with!
Food is delicious! Portions are huge!!! The waitress was so helpful with great recommendations. It's a great place to take a group and split the dishes so you can try more!

What a wonderful find on the road. If you are looking for a food adventure, a chance to step outside your usual fare then this is the place. Comfortable dining room and great service on top of lots of delicious food choices that I imagine most of us don't frequently see. I enjoyed everything I had (see my pictures for my choices) and I am already planning on making Chambersburg a stop on my return trip home. Maybe I will get there early enough to try the rotisserie chicken. read more

Prices do not match the menu - complete ripoff. I ordered soup and Churasco de Pollo (2 sides included per menu). The soup had $3.5 next to the menu item. After the fact I realized that the price was not specified ($3.5 was for the next item). Charged $10. Churasco de pollo had menu price $11. I was charged $12, and $1 for each side. After the fact I saw that indeed, there is a sentence in the menu that my sides are $1 extra. However, I am not expected to read the whole menu to understand the prices, do I? The dish price ($12) sill was different from the menu ($11). The service was good (soup served after the main dish) and very respectful, food was very tasty, the restaurant was very clean. read more

This restaurant is small but has stayed busy even through the Covid years. The staff is wonderful, the food is delicious and plentiful, and it is very well priced for what you receive. We go there often because of the good food and the way you are treated like family. Highly recommend. read more
Seriously, get their fried rice. It's that good. I ordered the Churrasco Asada with the fried rice and fried plantains on the side. I also had their passion fruit drink. I asked for extra churrasco sauce on the side, which is their chimichurri sauce. I found the chimichurri a little on the spicy side. Their fried rice was so good that I ordered a side to go! I was completely full but was determined to get their tres leches cake so had to get it to go. Once I got home, I had to take a bite. Super yummy. If I ever come back, I'm just getting a huge portion of fried rice! read more
I had to look up what mofongo is about but I did it and I'm glad that I did. It's a crossover meal of African and Puerto Rican dishes where plantains are fried and then mashed. And here at Inka Kitchen, they're served with a tasty sauce and a variety of proteins. I chose the one with shrimp and it was excellent. Interesting flavor, lots of medium-sized shrimp and a yummy sauce. Service was very good from the young lady working the lunch shift. read more

Very, very good food! Excellent service from the staff. Everything exceeded our expectations and we had: Papa Rellena for an appetizer, Mufongo con pollo a la parilla, arroz Chaufa, flan, and tostada de carne Molida, my wife had Inca Kola and I had Bustelo Cafe - all of it was delicious, very large servings - but what was left over will heat up well. Highly recommend and we will be back! read more

This place is a hidden treasure! We went last night & loved it. We've traveled in Peru & can absolutely attest that the food is authentic--& delicious. We started with the ceviche with shrimp. Excellent! It was flavorful & tasted exactly like what we had numerous times in Peru. The yucca & Peruvian corn add to the experience. The specialty is rotisserie chicken, & it was great as well. It comes with two sides. We went with a salad & black beans. Yummy! There are also two sauces, which are spicy & spicier & delicious. The decor is another plus. Lovely colorful tablecloths & menus. And Peruvian music, too. No alcohol, so next time we'll bring a bottle of wine--& there definitely will be many more times! read more
