(3.1) (3.8) (3) (3.7) (2.3)This is what I would affectionately call a great hole-in-the-wall kind of place. i.e., you don't come for the ambiance (there's always a TV playing too loud here), but you do come for the great tasting food. They recently changed ownership here, and while I liked the food before, I think it's even better now. Plus the portions are extremely generous. The "arroz con pollo" for $10 has got to be the best taste to price ratio around. Also try the papa a la huancaina as an appetizer. The sauce is ridiculously tasty. My wife is a big fan of the ceviche, the tamales, and the aji de gallina. This place is a definite craving satsifier for anyone who likes Peruvian food, and will create these cravings in those who haven't tried it!
the servers were very nice, so I feel kind of bad giving this review. but the obviously frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans, peas) they used for the mateer paneer was very disappointing. It was nice to find a canadian restaurant that actually includes things with the meal (e.g, rice and naan), but it's a double edged sword, as the naan wasn't very good and I would have preferred the option to buy tastier naan. but it's about frickin time a restaurant includes rice for meals that obviously need rice! so hats off to them for that decency.
I'm from Chicago and have lived in Vancouver for 4 years. One of the things I have missed most about Chicago is the deep dish pizza. After 4 years, I finally found it in the Vancouver area, and it is outstanding!!! This place is just down the road from us and I never knew they specialize in deep dish pizza until I received an ad from them in the mail that advertised as such. This was the best junk mail I ever received in my life! Take it from a Chicago deep dish pizza connoisseur.
Because a Greek friend told me this was one of the better Greek restaurants in town, I had high expectations. Well, I'd never go back here. All the food was pretty good, but the service was really disappointng--asked for water that never came and same for a napkin. They never came around to ask how things were, which would have given us the opportunity to remind them. The comic relief came when a waiter took a plate from another table in such a way that a piece of meat from that plate went flying off the plate and landed under my foot. So they don't bring things you ask for and deliver things you don't ask for!
