Chimu Peruvian Cuisine - Brooklyn

I wasn't sure about this place but it was wonderful. Our waitress was amazing. The drinks were strong and good. I got the steak definitely will be back.

Came here during Covid times. Ordered for takeout and the food portion was small compared to other Peruvian restaurants. The food is also more expensive than other Peruvian restaurants. The food quality was OK I ordered: Yucca: it was fresh and well made Empanadas: it was alright. I had better elsewhere Anticuchos: It wasn't hearts. I was internals. It was chewy and not digestable. Not really up to its standards Jalea: It was ok. I had better elsewhere Aji de Gallina: It was the best dish of the take out order. The sauce was creamy, and the chicken was fresh Ceviche Mixto: It was rather small and missing other main components. But I had better elsewhere I wouldn't recommend you to come to this place for Peruvian food. I would suggest elsewhere. Yelp it ;

Came on Friday and got served very quickly! Got sangria for a drink and it was a good balance of sweet yet strong as well. The food was all delicious with huge portions. Definitely recommend the ceviche! The empanada was the only thing I might not order again but all the other items were delicious!

Just like home in the caribbean. I will be going back to try more food. Everything was delicious the Tacu taco Entrada was absolutely delightful! The drinks were ok had me a little buzzed. I'm thinking about going back as I'm writing this review

This place is amazing! My partner and I wanted to try Peruvian food for the first time. Turns out this place is a nice little walk from home. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. We took a table in the back patio area and it was super nice. There was a big family having a special occasion in a little offshoot of the patio. It was a hip atmosphere with nice airflow and sun. There was mural art on the wall and other decor. And music playing. I ordered a chicha morada, a Peruvian corn punch (non-alcoholic). It was similar to sorrel. It is lightly fruity and a little spicy--very refreshing. My partner had a Peruvian beer which was also quite nice. We had Causa de Camarones as an appetizer. What a treat! I will get this every time I come here, because it is unique. I would never make this at home! For mains, we ordered Ceviche Mixto Pescado a lo Macho. We didn't know what we were getting into! The Ceviche we had an idea what it might be like. The Pescado a lo Macho is described as Snapper in a Seafood Sauce. So I thought it would just have kind of a seafood sauce with a little minced seafood in it. But no! I got a snapper fillet with a bunch of seafood on top, plus half a crab! The presentation was fabulous. The flavors delicious. The Pescado a lo Macho sauce was sooooo good. Like put it in your mouth, close your eyes and flutter your lids good. It was a little rich, so if you're sensitive to rich or heavy foods, you would definitely want to split this with someone and pair it with something acidy or gingery. The portions were really generous for the price. We are no slouches at the dinner table! But we ended up taking half of it home. I think next time we will have 1 appetizer and 1 entree--if we can agree on the entree! :P The service was beyond expectation. My water glass was always full, napkins and forks replaced immediately, someone was always there if I looked like I might want something--but they also didn't hover. Everyone was warm and friendly. Perfect date night, delicious dinner. I HIGHLY recommend you check it out.
