Llama House immediately caught my attention with its vibrant decor. The bright colors throughout the space and the artificial llamas at both the entrance and toward the back add a fun, memorable touch. The restaurant itself feels bright, open, and spacious, making it a great spot for everything from a casual meal to a larger gathering. I will say the prices were a little higher than what I'm used to paying for Peruvian food, but once the food arrived, it was hard to argue with the quality. The flavors were absolutely spot on fresh, authentic, and packed with taste. Between the unique atmosphere and the delicious food, this was a great experience. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning. read more

Llama House in Englewood is a great spot for authentic Peruvian flavors with a modern touch. The restaurant has a clean, stylish atmosphere that feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. We started with the three-color causa (traditional, pesto, and beet), each topped differently. The flavors were well balanced and thoughtfully put together. The mixed ceviche was fresh and bright, with a citrus note that really brought everything together. The choros a la chalaca were generous and nicely balanced between the flavor of the sea and acidity. I especially appreciated that they offer chifa cuisine (Peruvian-Chinese fusion), which you don't see everywhere in Bergen County. The tallarín chifa was well executed and full of flavor, and the tipakay added a great sweet and crispy contrast. Overall, a solid experience and definitely worth visiting if you enjoy Peruvian food in the area. read more

We were a group of 4 who were very excited to come here. Our friends just moved to the area (from Queens) and were excited to check out the Latin American food scene in North Jersey. To be fair, we had pretty high expectations for this place before even setting foot inside. But we were constantly met with disappointment one after the other, starting with the service. Our server didn't really speak English (which is not a problem at all since most of my group speaks Spanish), but she seemed either inexperienced or new and undertrained because she hardly kept up with what was available/isn't on the menu and the food portions. For example, we asked about the size of the Jalea and having already ordered 2 large-portioned main dishes, she implied that one plate wouldn't be enough for all of us, so we ordered 2 at her suggestion. When the Jalea came, it was a massive portion and between the four of us, we had a hard time even getting through half of one plate. The batter felt overdone and we all wondered if the seafood mix was frozen. We kind of almost felt sick trying to finish our food rather than letting it go to waste. From the time we put this order in, to the time we finally got them, it honestly was close to an hour, which is pretty ridiculous. It was never even a thought to give us any salsa or dipping sauce until we asked. The food was overall very average. The other items we ordered were the Lomo Saltado (which was bland and the fries were hardly crispy) and the Leche de Tigre, which was probably the best item out of all the others. Something to keep in mind is that they don't have a liquor license, so there is no alcohol served, but I believe it is BYOB. None of us are big drinkers, so this had no impact on our experience. To add insult to injury, they automatically added the 18% gratuity before the total, which they taxed on top of, and had the audacity to keep the option of additional tips open. This was a tasteless business practice, on top of the subpar service that we barely got to begin with. This wasn't a great impression for our friends who are looking to find some Latin American staples around their new home, and this definitely won't be one of them. read more

The food was so good! I had the lomo saltado. My fiance had the mixed chaufa. My MIL had pollo la brasa. we ate everything so fast, i only remembered to get a picture of mine! Our server was attentive and nice, and the restaurant itself was very clean and had cute decor! im gonna be thinking about this lomo til i can come here again. it was saucy and the portion size was perfect. The steak was tender, ALL of it! Usually when I get steak, i get nervous cuz a lot of places wont trim their steak accordingly, and pieces of fat and gristle get through to the final plate. not this one! I was able to enjoy eeeevery piece! I found myself saying "that lomo was so good" in anguish cuz i knew i wouldnt be able to find anything similarly tasty and quality where i normally live!!! will definitely come back given the chance! read more

This place is probably one of the best Peruvian god spots I have had and its nice that its a few blocks away from me. The restaurant is very colorful and bright inside. It feels very welcoming and cheerful. I love all the llamas around the restaurant. Mboyfriend and I really enjoyed our meal here. The Chaufa and Lomo Saltado was delicious. Totally recommend. The service was good, except for the waiter forgetting our drink and I needed to remind him after a while, but otherwise I would return. read more

I enjoyed the food at Llama House and the service was good too! The seafood rice, meat were both seasoned very well and flavorful. The ceviche and linguine al pesto stood out the most. The ceviche had a good balance of tangy and sweet. The fish also tasted fresh. The ambiance is interesting and colorful. The portion was good but the dishes were a bit overpriced I thought. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd give it a 4.2! read more

Four of us were there last Thursday. Love it's a byob. It's a Peruvian restaurant, and it's new to us. We ordered take out once before the pollo frijoles and we liked it a lot. While the server is very nice her English is limited, which makes it tough to get food explained. We ordered way too much for four people. Wish I could give better options, the grill looked good, but we didn't get it. Gratuity is added automatically, so be warned read more

Went to this new spot, previously Akai, which is nicely decorated in traditional Peruvian art with nice fresh feel. Went with a friend who is Peruvian and he assured me the food is authentic and exactly what he was looking forward to. Staff was friendly and food was very good and fresh. Only drawback is there is no liquor license, so we couldn't enjoy a traditional Peruvian Pisco Sour, or any other booze. We will be back. read more

I've been here twice now, and had to get their roasted chicken both times because it was so good. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and served with green sauce. I chose chaufa and fries as my two sides, which were good. My husband had ceviche, which tasted fresh and he enjoyed. Will be back again when the Peruvian craving hits! read more

"The food is delicious!" Is all I heard while our company had our 30 employee appreciation lunch in at Llama house. The experience was perfect, food came out timely, and all the dishes were beautifully prepared. Most of the employees that live around the area have a new Peruvian spot to order from! Definitely recommended this restaurant to my fellow managers to book this place for a team lunch. Thank you again! read more

The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The restaurant decor was really cute as well.

Great place! Great service! Will return! Must try picarrones next time! ¡Excelente lugar!

Very disappointed. I really wanted to give this place a try so we went in for dinner . The service took longer than usual to bring out our main course . The soup was good . The main grilled chicken entree was mediocre and the chicken app was not too great . Gave it a try at least read more

A stay @ home Friday night turned in 2 a delicious takeout meal. I constantly drove by this place for several months wondering when, if ever; It would open. The Huancaina was absolutely delicious. The aji verde sauce had a nice consistency & a lil jab of spice. The Chicha was very refreshing & not overly sweet or too simple. Decorations of the restaurant was very attention grabbing. The service is probably understaffed. Will return definitely. read more

Came here with my fiancé, as we live in town. Food is 10/10 and it's BYOB. Server was very nice as well. The decor is very on brand, with lots of color and Spanish music playing in the background. They also serve Lunch specials 11:30am-3pm. Food is delicious, we had the lomo as well as the 1/2 chicken with arroz chaufa, we will definitely be coming back! read more

So friendly and such lovely customer service. looks so pretty inside, and the decor is beautiful. food is outstanding.

Service and ambience were great but the food wasn't what I was expecting. It was decent food but definitely not the quality I expected from such a beautiful restaurant in this neighborhood full of spots. I think overall I couldn't tell if the seasoning was different than I was used to or if some of the ingredients were old. My yuca fries that were part of my jalea were dry and tasted off. Some of the tomatoes in my families lomo saltados tasted old as well and the meat tasted different too. I'm truly not sure if the recipes are flavored differently than I've tried at diff Peruvian restaurants or the food wasn't good. I will say my brother got the best meal, the peruvian chicken rice and beans meal was really yummy! My mom has been here a few times now and has the same feedback so I doubt we will be back. I felt terrible for not liking the food at all since the customer service and non-alcoholic drinks were amazing. read more

Good food and great ambience! If there is only one complaint it's the wait time, had to wait a long time to get a table for a large group. Then again, it was Father's Day and a birthday party was booked. read more

It's ok at best. Fish is chopped fine in the ceviche, No big chunks. The cooked seafood was of a low frozen quality. The steak was good in the Lomo but it wasn't traditional lomo. Service was very friendly but scarce. read more
