    1/2 chicken meal, tostones and salad.
    Nando F.

    An awesome find. We were hunting for new spot to order lunch from (at work) and someone suggested we could try Kausa. Our go to spot for Peruvian style rotisserie chicken was "Chirping Chicken", but they are very inconsistent (some times they were good, some times they were bad). Everyone (about 11 of us) was happy with their meal. I personally found that their food is actually better than our usual go to chicken spot. Why not 5 stars...? Well, I got a 1/2 chicken meal and I was sent 2 breasts. I guess some people would say that's a win... but, I am not a huge fan of chicken breast... even though theirs (or at least what I got from them that day) was better than average... the ONE breast that comes in a 1/2 chicken is more than plenty for me.

    Combito- half chicken + 2 sides $18
    Alexus S.

    Got the half chicken and 2 sides for $18- great value! Lots of food. But needed more salt/seasoning and chicken was a little dry. Sauces are service are great!

    Ceviche Mixto
    Bruce H.

    I had a delivery order from this fine Peruvian restaurant. I ordered oysters, beef empanadas, ceviche mixto, papa huancaina, chupa de camarones, a half chicken, maduros sweet plantains, and the rice & beans mix. The food was very good though the kausa fell apart on a delivery order, so I would suggest this for dining in only. The ceviche was fresh and well spiced. The chicken was tasty, moist, and well-glazed with two dipping sauces. The papa huancaina were fresh, and perfectly cooked. The empanadas taste homemade with ground beef, a crispy exterior and a sweet tomato sauce. The chupe de camarones was really good with juicy shrimp, some vegetables, and a poached egg. The plantains and rice & beans were well made. Delivery was quick, and packing was good. Highly recommended. *Get the Mister Kausa for dining in only.

    A lively joint for a later post-theater dinner. Nice gayborhood vibe. Love Peruvian food and they do it well! Whole Rotisserie Chicken: So much better than grocery store rotisserie chicken! All the flavor from all those spices, plus so moist. Especially love the sauces that came with it. This and a side makes a very hearty meal for two! Tacu Tacu: Got the vegetarian version to stand in as a side for the rotisserie chicken. Was kinda surprised to see a random pile of vegetables next to the tacu tacu. I guess it's healthier that way, but I honestly would have preferred just more tacu tacu. Since it was nicely seasoned with a lot of yummy beans mixed in. Pionono: This looked cool and sounded interesting, but it was kinda boring. Very little dulce de leche, so it felt dry.

    Cocktails were fantastic - strong but tasty and still sweet without being too bitter. Service was good our waitress was attentive. The tacu tacu was a big portion where two could share and it was delicious. The meat was a perfect medium rare that paired nicely with the rice, egg, onions, and tomato. A nice upgrade from a typical lomo saltado.

    Ceviche

    Enjoyed the atmosphere and quality of the food. Fast service. We had to go to a show and we were served quickly.

    Ceviche De Corvina
    Cynthia S.

    Literally ALL of the food I ordered was Amazing, tasty, delicious and it exceeded my expectations! Very recommend the corvina ceviche, pasta with Juan Ana sauce and lomo al jugo. Papa la huancaina needed a little bit of more sauce, but the taste was great.

    Having my favorite cosmo.  Ricardo. Makes the best ones in the city!

    Love Ricardo's cocktails. The best como in NYC! The food and service are always on point.

    Delicious. Order the anticuchos, pollo a la brasa, ceviche mixto, and arroz con Mariscos. Carajillo too

    Steph C.

    Nice spot. Pretty decor. It was really busy the day we went. The waitress wasn't much attentive to getting us refills in drinks. The food was okay. The appetizer kausa was delicious. The entree tallarine a la huancaina was missing something. The dessert was good. The food could be better.

    Chilcano
    Grace Nicole C.

    Got a passion fruit chilcano and it was just like back home! Truly so good. We also got a leche de trige which was tasty but had too much ginger to my liking. The ambiance is nice and we sat at the bar which had no wait time, it did get crowded once 6pm hit. Our bartender was nice and attentive.

    Vibe : 10/10 Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 I have no complaints. My hubby and I were starving after our Broadway show and stumbled upon this lively place. No regrets. Chaufa chicken (my husband's entree) and Lomo Saltado (my entree) were both AMAZING. We left no crumbs. On top of the great food, our waiter Carlos was super attentive, energetic, and kind. We will definitely be back.

The first thing placed on the table was their famous aji verde, the vibrant green sauce. I couldn't resist dipping my fork in for a taste--spicy, fresh, and absolutely addictive. We ordered a spread that truly showcased the menu: Mama Juanita's rotisserie chicken, perfectly seasoned and juicy; corvina; and a ceviche mixto loaded with shrimp, octopus, calamari, red onions, cilantro, rocoto pepper, and lime juice. It was so refreshing and flavorful that I found myself spooning up every last drop of the citrusy marinade. The lomo saltado was another standout--a savory Peruvian stir-fry with marinated strips of beef, served alongside crispy fries. We also added a side of maduros, their sweetness balancing the meal beautifully. The ambiance was casual, comfortable, and simple, with unique walls decorated in intertwined tree branches that added a rustic touch. The service matched the food--our waiter, the busboy, and the manager were all attentive, engaging, and genuinely friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Dessert was Tres Leches Cake. One bite in, and it basically melts in your mouth- no chewing required. It's sweet, soggy and by the end, you're not sure if you ate cake... or drank it--but either way, no regrets. Overall, it was a memorable meal full of bold flavors, great company, and warm hospitality.

But you order at the front, pick up your own food, box it yourself when you are done, and discard your own trash. I was the server today. That should be noted upfront because the website does not exactly make that clear. That said, the food was good. I got a stir fry dish with beef, fries, tomatoes and platanos. Mama bear got a Spanish chaufa which is basically the Peruvian version of fried rice. She seemed to enjoy it. I also got a side of squash soup which was pretty good. We washed it all down with Jarritos, the Mexican soda. Solid choice. Now the restroom situation. Chirp does not have a public restroom. My mom was bothered by that and I could see her starting to make it a thing. I had to nip that in the bud. I get it, I understand, but that is not the hill I die on. No restroom, no worries. It is what it is. The cashier was nice. The food got me full quick. I brought some home for wifey since she is a fan of Spanish food too. Overall Chirp is fine for what it is. It is more of a quick meal and delivery spot than a dinner service restaurant. If you go in knowing that you will probably enjoy it. If you go in expecting a proper sit down experience like I did, you might be caught off guard. Now you know.

We had tickets for the Lion King Broadway show so I asked about my entree & they told me it was being prepared. Since we were short on time, I talked to the hostess, explained the situation & asked if they could cancel my entree since I had already shared the appetizers with my husband & didn't want to inhale my main course before running out to the show. She was very nice about it. Apologized for the delay (which wasn't really their fault) & offered me a free drink if I came back. I never got to take her up on that offer because we left New York the following day. I didn't get to sample any of the entrees but the appetizers were decent & just for the customer service I would go back.

Wagner was great a wonderful personality and he made sure everything was to our liking checking on us periodically.

You can never leave without trying the flan it's one of the best I have ever had. Service was quick and food was bought to us piping hot. The only down side is they oddly don't make pina coladas (it's the only thing I drink) and the restaurant was a bit too cold but other than that it was a lovely birthday dinner for my friend.

Short on time, with just 40 minutes to dine, we thought we'd be wise to limit ourselves to starters and drinks.

Trusting his wisdom and his consultation with the kitchen, we ordered the beet salad plus the langostino ravioli and the Chilean sea bass. To drink we had a strawberry martini and the guava and basil margarita. Every morsel was delectable. All of the dishes were colorful and interesting and robust with complex flavors and textures. The fish was cooked perfectly, light on the tongue. My daughter did ask for an adjustment to her drink upon first sip, and they accommodated graciously. We enjoyed our meals at an easy pace, got the check while finishing our drinks, paid via QR code, and made it to the show with 15 minutes to spare, satiated and satisfied. Regrettably, we didnt have time for dessert. So, good reason to go back SOON.
