“ Very delicious Alot of chicken in the Tamale 10/10 lomo saltado so good And the ceviche it is just perfect I highly recommend it ”
“ We celebrated my partner’s birthday here, and it was our first time diving into Peruvian cuisine. The whole experience was fantastic. The staff was not only incredibly friendly but also went out of their way to explain each dish, helping us pick out some amazing options. They even chatted with us about Peruvian culture, which added a nice personal touch. The food? Outstanding. The ox heart starter was genuinely one of the best things I’ve tasted in ages, and the ceviche was super fresh and bursting with flavor. The cocktails were spot on too – we had a pisco sour that was perfectly balanced and delightfully strong. The ambience was cozy and felt almost homely, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion. While it wasn’t a cheap meal, the quality absolutely justified it. A special mention to the staff for making my partner’s day extra special with a little Peruvian memento – such a thoughtful touch! ”

“ We had an absolutely wonderful time. The food was delicious, even better than I expected. ”
“ First time trying a Peruvian restaurant, and it turned out to be an excellent choice! We had the Tamalito de Pollo, Ceviche Tradicional, and Chicharron; all full of flavour with generous portions. Definitely coming back to try more from the menu. Their soft drinks are a great addition too. I highly recommend the Chicha Morada. The atmosphere was cosy and inviting, and the prices were fair considering the portion sizes. ”
“ Great food and amazing atmosphere. We really enjoyed all of of the ceviches and pisco sour but we definitely need to try other dishes too. We'll certainly come back. ”
“ My family and I stopped by Tierra Peru a few weeks ago and we could not believe how incredible everything was! I was traveling with my 80 year old father, brother and cousin (all Peruvian) and we were missing some authentic Peruvian food on the last night of our London trip. I found this restaurant on TikTok and I'm so happy I saved it and got to eat here. The owner was incredibly nice and shared all the history around his journey to the UK and how the restaurant came about. What I loved the most was how authentic the decor was, along with the music and videos playing. It truly felt like we were in Peru. Not to mention how delicious every single dish was. Moving forward I will recommend this restaurant to anyone I know visiting London. Muchas gracias por toda la atencion de todo corazon! ”
“ We had the most amazing birthday lunch here! Food was delicious and authentic , portions were large too! We were celebrating two of our friend’s birthday here. We brought our own cake and they presented it with candles and they did a dance and song for us too! Such lovely and wonderful memories! Makes me want to visit Peru ! Thank you to all the staff who made our day! ”
