Best Peruvian Restaurants in Washington DC

The dim sum lucky trio was a great range of tastes. The shishito peppers were perfectly seasoned. The kung pao donburi was fusion at its best. The aji de gallina was creamy, flavorful, just phenomenal. Only complaint is that the metal chairs are incredibly uncomfortable- the host did bring me a pillow.

This is our 3rd visit to Chef Carlos Delgado’s restaurant. We select this restaurant bc each time we are delighted by everything we order, from the bar to the kitchen. Random tip: Order the el Cacao cocktail if you can appreciate a drink with complexity, not terribly sweet, well balanced, mysterious and has a wonderful smoke to it. We ended up ordering a 2nd round and would return just to have it again (complements to the bartender). Each bite of all 5 dishes we ordered is like unpacking a gift or going on an adventure. Your taste buds will be like Princess Jasmine on a magic carpet ride. My husband has a dairy allergy and usually we feel cheated by eliminating menu items with dairy but not at Amazonia!! The service is also consistently amazing. Our napkin was folded when we returned from the restroom. Dribbled sauce was always wiped up. The water was refilled and our server gave excellent suggestions. No need to hesitate booking an evening here.

An absolutely incredible meal. One of my favorite restaurant’s. The crab and shrimp tostones were delicious. The lomo saltado and mixto fried rice were amazing. The sangria as also great. Looking forward to coming again.

Excellent restaurant, food and service were both outstanding. The ambience of this restaurant is very cool and they have a great DJ. I wanted to Shazam every song! Gambas, burrata, ceviche, steak dishes, and the desserts - all perfection. Will be back and highly recommend!

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Every interaction was better than the one before. Felt like it was a joy to the staff that I was there. In addition, each dish and wine pairing was unbelievable. I wish this could be in m weekly budget ! I would always be there if I could.
