I chose to spend my birthday here and I am so happy I did. Food was amazing, they perfectly catered to my gluten free friend and have us more starters. The service was honestly so warm and I felt like we were taken very good care of. We even got a Polaroid picture at the end and some digestif shots… highly recommend, thank you Lima!

Popped in for a relaxed dinner. Made reservation in advance. It wasn't as busy being Monday evening. The host and the server were quite hospitable. I opted to ask for their recommendation on the vegetarian options - not many and most have eggs. I was informed the menu is changing around March and they'd want me to try it then. We were the last one to leave. I'd recommend it if you eat meat. Vegetarians probably skip unless you fancy some drinks

This is a great restaurant for anyone looking to try Peruvian food in London. The food here is more a creative take on Peruvian cuisine, and it’s absolutely delicious! They offer a lot of different menus, and I decided to have their lunch specials.

The staff are friendly and take the time to explain the available menus. The restaurant itself has a modern and stylish vibe with interesting Peruvian decorations

We really liked the welcome, service, service. There is a team that is both attentive and smiling. We ordered the 5-course tasting menu and a few extras. In terms of taste, the wagyu was very bland, the octopus course was visually beautiful but cold and hard. The ceviche was delicious.

We love this place. We have been to Lima 7 years before when it was a Michelin star restaurant and since then it has only gotten better. Super friendly staff providing plenty of details about the menu and the preparation of the plates. Great menu with a good mix of cooked and raw food. Great alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails options.  Desserts wasn’t the best but everything else was an absolute dream. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere with a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seatings. Good restaurant capacity thanks to the upstairs and downstairs seating area. Not ideal for kids and great for a night out for a couple.
The miso aubergine and the black cod are  absolutely amazing
