Norkys has been one of our family's go-to spots for Peruvian food over the years, and we've tried multiple locations. Out of all of them, this location has honestly been the one we've enjoyed the most and the one we keep coming back to. That said, over the past year or two, I do feel the food quality has declined a bit. I recently ordered the lomo saltado (the lower-priced option), and while the meat was flavorful and savory, there was a little too much broth, which made the fries and rice soggy. My husband ordered the tacu tacu with steak, but it felt like there were barely any beans in it. For the kids, we ordered salchipapa. They enjoyed it, but I was expecting the hot dogs to have a little more crisp instead of being soft. What keeps us coming back is the experience here. The restaurant is always clean, organized, and has a really nice ambiance. The staff is attentive, service is quick, and we rarely have to wait or follow up on anything. Their ají verde is still really good too. Overall, I'd say 3.5 stars for the food, but 4 stars for service, ambiance, and overall experience. I really hope the food quality improves because this location has been one of our favorites. read more

Food here is consistently fantastic. I've used their catering menu multiple times when hosting guests, and it's been an excellent value every time--generous portions, great flavor, and always a crowd-pleaser. While I haven't dined in, the restaurant has a casual and inviting atmosphere from what I've seen. It is a bit on the darker side inside, but still comfortable and welcoming. The only real challenge is parking, which can be a little difficult depending on when you visit. Overall, a great spot for both takeout and catering, and I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Really good and unique experience. Went as a group of 2. Would go if you want to try Peruvian food. Definitely felt authentic, price was roughly $35 a person for the 2 pictures shown and beverage. Very friendly staff. 15% mandatory gratuity (party of 2). Tip is onto of gratuity. read more

Absolutely amazing. This is one of the best Peruvian restaurants I've been to, in fact, it was better than many restaurantsI ate at....In Peru! I was with a party of 10 and we were well accommodated. We ordered platters with a variety of dishes along with pitchers of Chicha Moradas. The restaurant is BYOB read more

Definitivamente pésimo servicio al cliente desde el primer momento que ingrese 4 meseros en un día sábado en la tarde y ninguno tuvo interés en atender. Una señora con pésima actitud se acercó a entregarnos la carta sin embargo por el pesimismo tuve que salir del lugar junto a toda mi familia. Definitely HORRIBLE customer service since the first moment I entered 4 waiters on a Saturday afternoon and none was interested in attending. A lady with a terrible attitude approached to give us the menu's , however, because of the pessimism I had to leave the place with my whole family. Terrible experience read more

I have placed a big order on 5/10/2026. on that order I have ordered 2 arroz a l Nortena which came out to be $22.00. They told me they could not replace it with just white rice for the price I paid for the Arroz a Nortena. This has happend twice and not even being on a busy day. What kind of business these people are running if you have on the menu. I will not order again from this place. Do not recommend this place. read more

Nice Peruvian place on Main Street in manville. We got the family style seafood platter and a whole chicken combo. The fried seafood platter had seafood fried rice, fried seafood, ceviche and mussels and it looked like almost every table was ordering it. The whole chicken was nicely roasted and had great seasoning. Service was great. Overall a great experience, will return to try some other dishes! read more

This was a small place with 15 or so tables as well as music being played. The menu had a number of options ranging from platters to rice dishes to pasta, all of the Peruvian style. The service was alright as the food took some time to come out as well as the check. The staff was friendly though. I went with a combination of the beef and chicken stir fry dish (Pollo y Lomo Saltado) ($19?). It came with red onions, tomatoes, soy sauce, vinegar, and cilantro mixed with French fries. It also came with white rice. This was well put together. There was a lot of flavor going on especially with the sauces that were provided. They seemed to be a green salsa as well as a sauce that resembled a Caesar dressing sort of. Regardless, they went nicely with the dish. My only issue was the French fries. They came out cold compared to the rest of the dish. I also tried a Peruvian rice dish that contained beef, chicken, and seafood. The seafood consisted of calamari and shrimp (not sure if anything else was in it). Again, this was well put together and both sauces enhanced the overall flavor. Will I go back? Yes. read more

The food is really nice and well done . The service is great, the staff are always friendly with a nice smile , makes me feel welcomed every time. Food is made to order. They do charge a fee for every card transaction which is unpleasant, so make sure you have cash. I recommend this restaurant, very delicious. read more

Located in manville it's a small little place and might suggest calling ahead of you have a large group . They were pretty busy when we got there but service was great and staff was super friendly . They have a fairly large menu but everything on it sounds delicious. I ordered a sampler of Peruvian specialties I forgot the name but it has mussels shooters , a mixed fried seafood selection fish , calamari and shrimp along with a seafood paella. So good !! My husband ordered fried red snapper which was perfectly fried and full of flavor. I would definitely come back to try some of that yummy goodness read more

Ambiance: perfect for groups, families, couples and individuals. The lights are low and calming even in the afternoon. Food: the beans are exquisite! The chicken and TBone steak was seasoned perfectly. My favorite sides are the salad, fried yuca and green plantain. Again, the beans !!!! You must get rice with the beans so you don't miss a drop. We hope they will bottle the green sauce in the future. The pricing is fair and reasonable. The staff are friendly, patient and efficient! read more

I travelled to Peru last year and since returning, I've been in search of a Peruvian restaurant that is as good as what I experienced. After many disappointing attempts, this restaurant is the first one I can honestly say lived up to my hopes and memories. My daughter and I dined on a Friday night. There was a good crowd when we arrived, but there was no problem getting a table without a reservation. I'm not sure when this restaurant opened place, but the interior looked fairly new. Comfortable and nice decor, not too formal or causal. But somewhat non-descript. With exception of the Peruvian music playing, it didn't seem like a Peruvian restaurant at all. More like a generic Italian or American place. The service was terrific! Everyone was so warm, attentive and friendly. The quality of the food was terrific and the portions were so generous. Neither my daughter or I could finish our meals. I had the pasta with Huacaina and Lomo Salteado (steak with onions, tomatoes) and it was amazing. The meat was juicy and lean and since I couldn't finish it, I took the rest home and it was terrific even the following day . My daughter had the El Clasico ( ceviche, fried fish, & squid and crab ) She loved it so much she kept telling me she was about to cry because it was that good. We then shared the Tres Leche cake and it was delicious! Not too soggy or sweet, just perfect. My only gripe and reason for 4 stars is the frustrating menu. They had a printed menu with description of the dishes, but no price. There was a QR code on the table that gave you the name of the dish only and price but no description and in a different order than what was on the menu. I had to match what was on my phone with what I was reading as a print out. This process took way too much time and effort. I understand that given all the seafood on their menu it is difficult to publish market prices daily. But I would rather just have a digital menu via QR code with name and description of dishes and prices in one location. That would make the ordering process a lot easier. The menu challenges are a minor issue. Still, I can't wait to return and bring the rest of my family to this gem. Do try this place before everyone finds out about it and reservations are needed for Friday nights. read more

This is a great upscale Peruvian restaurant in downtown Mannville. The Jalea and Lomo Saltado are amazing. I've been wanting authentic Peruvian cuisine since I started working at Open Road Mercedes-Benz and haven't found one restaurant that has anything like this yet. The prices are on the higher side, but the ambiance makes up for it. This restaurant reminds me a lot of the Latin food scene on Blackwell Street in Dover, New Jersey. read more

So glad I found Norkys! Best peruvian restaurant i've been to in central NJ hands down and it's only 10 minutes away from me big problem for my wallet but my heart and stomach will be happy. The food is delicious, they have a decent indoor sitting area but mainly cater to take out. Definitely recommend stopping by. read more

Jennifer and David were great help. the food was fantastic. Staff was very attentive.

Had an amazing meal in this unassuming & quaint little place right on Main Street in Manville. Our server David was extremely knowledgeable & very helpful with our selections & did not steer us wrong. The octopus appetizer was smoky, tender & delicious, cerviche fresh & tangy, and the grandma's beef with gnocchi was out of this world!! Plus it's BYOB!! Highly recommend you give it a try. read more

Plan on coming hungry because you will get an abundance of food. Everything was delicious. Denise had a marinated steak with brown gravy and French fries. Very flavorful. I had the ceviche fish (delicious), surrounded by a fried seafood sampler including shrimp, calamari, real crab, imitation crab meat, muscles, mini scallops, and what I believe to be red snapper filet. Super crispy, not greasy at all. It came with some mild dipping sauces as well. Service was fast, polite, attentive and cheerful. We had an early dinner about 5:15 so we beat the crowd and zipped off to catch a show. We appreciated the prompt attentive service. Very nice atmosphere to enjoy a quality quiet evening with your special someone! read more

We tried the rotisserie chicken combos. We did take out. Easy ordering and the meals were nicely packed. Chicken was very tasty and juicy. Nice salad and fries. We'll try some other entrees next time and dine in. Great spot to try. read more

went here today for Mother's Day and we ordered a pitcher of the Chicha morada - my mom drank her poured glass and felt a foreign object in her mouth... and she spat out a dead cockroach from the drink. my whole family was disgusted and we informed the waiters that there were cockroaches in the pitcher. they took it away and tried to bring us a new one - but we declined and told them that they should be wary as they were still bringing that specific drink out to other tables while we were eating there and told them that its not sanitary. the only compensation we received from this gross experience was free dessert and a fake flower for my mom. if there are dead cockroaches floating in their specialty drink, you can only imagine what other festivities the cockroaches are having in their kitchen read more

Best Peruvian restaurant in NJ! Since trying their combo it has been our go-to spot. Their Aji Verde is absolutely delicious and pairs well with everything. read more

Ordered the food for delivery while I was work. I got the chaufa especial which is a stir fried rice with a seafood melody, chicken, and steak. When I ordered online, I initially thought it was a bit pricey but when I received the meal I realized it was a huge portion. You can feed 2 maybe even 3 people with just one meal. The rice was absolutely delicious! And it came with aji Verde which is a green sauce that was fantastic. Not sure what the place is like inside since I got delivery but the food was amazing and would love to physically check the place out when I have more time for lunch. read more

Most excellent and priced right. Everything on the menu is fabulous!

Been there twice. Good food. Clean food coming out of the kitchen- which is important so to avoid stomach issues. We ordered Take out a few times was good. Some food can travel well. I feel the BBQ chicken is the only one to travel. The other food should just be eaten there to enjoy it. Careful traveling with the food though- The containers are a little cheap and leak in the bags. Overall good service and tasty food. Nice job Norky's. read more

Nice little Peruvian restaurant on Manville's Main Street. Service is courteous and prices are reasonable. We went with our standard at Peruvian places, Roast Chicken with salad and French fries. We also had desserts- flan and cookies. Everything was good and came out quickly. Will definitely return !Went for an early Saturday lunch. It's BYOB. Parking is on the street. read more

This restaurant popped on my instagram and decided to try it. Inside is nice ambiance, the servers are very courteous. We had the Chicha morada which was good, it wasn't over sweeten. I had the causa with meat, the presentation was looking good. I wish they would get rid of the muscle between the meat, makes the experience better instead of chewing something hard. Besides that it was an okay causa, definitely for two people. My wife had the leche de tigre, it wasn't bad, but this is the first place that has served it without any sweet potatoes in it. I had the lomo saltado, it was good. My wife had the green spaghetti with meat, unluckily we have tried others restaurants and no one seems to get the right balance of spinach and basil correct. Definitely will be back to try their seafood. read more

Just ordered takeout from here and left with a very bad experience. They upcharged me on several dishes without making it clear over the phone and the bill came out to be 40% higher than I expected. Pretty shady if you ask me. I won't be going back. read more

Love family owned restaurants that have authentic, seasoned, delicious food. Norky's prices are fair for what you get. We love their different fried rices, bbq chicken, seafood in vinegar, salad, sauces. Very flavorful food and glad we have a local spot everyone in the family enjoys. read more

My Family & I enjoyed the food. It was really delicious. Price is fair also, same with other Peruvian Restaurant. The reason I gave 4 stars is that I placed my order online & received a text that says it's ready for pick up, but when I went to the Restaurant, I was asked to wait for 8-10 minutes. Overall, I would go back & order food again. read more

The place is a diamond in the rough. Cute and very clean. The staff goes an extra mile. I did not speak and spanish and they spoke very little english but we communicated with each other and it worked out fine. The food was awesome the chicken had the right amount of flavor, the salad was one of the tastier salads I have eat it was so fresh, they do not have yellow rice but the white rice was fine. You must also try the cookies they were really good. Soon as you ate the cookie it flaked in your mouth. I was like a shortbread cookie with jelly in it. You must try this place. I will truly return. read more
