Reviews for El Pollo Inka Peru in Forest Hills, NY
A small but quaint Peruvian restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious but the serving in my opinion was a bit much, I had... to take my entree to go. The restaurant is clean and the staff were helpful. The only nitpick is parking. You have to have luckto find one close by. Read more
Overall the food wasn?t good, We ordered a Lomo saltado and it came with frozen fríes, also the sopa la minuta was too watery... and tasteless, The soup of the day (Aguadito) was too thick. The pollo a la brasa was dry and when we asked for cream for thepollo they gave us regular mayo in a packet. Read more
There is a wide range of offerings - soup, seafood, & even Peruvian alchohol & Peruvian ice cream (not made in house tho)!!... Tasty food & good portion sizes for the price! The service for to-go or eat-in is alright, they also offer delivery however I'veyet to use it. The restaurant is nice inside, & has expanded since the last time I ate there, so parties up to 7 I think shouldbe able to be accommodate fine. One of my favorite Peruvian restaurants in Forest Hills. Read more
As a first timer at this restaurant located on Queens Blvd I would say the customer service was terrible. The guy at the counter... was unprofessional and extremely rude. I got the anti- black vibes from him. Read more
Surprisingly good ! Why do I say that? El pollo Inka Peru seems to be just another chicken restaurant in the area, however they... keep a balanced and traditional flavor profile, as many of this type of restaurants don't, this place makes you want to comeback for more. The portions are substantial and affordable, I've ordered a Whole Chichen combo, which was juicy and tender,came with side of sweet plantains, yellow rice, salchi-papas ( fries and sausage) and house salad, also ordered the FriedSeafood Platter a.k.a. (Jalea) family portion, although this dish is a fried mix of seafood like calamari, shrimp, white fish, crab, mussels or scallops, also fried yuca/cassava topped with lime marinated red onios and cilantro, most of what you aregetting here is calamari (about 80%), would be nice if they work more on their mix. You have to try the green spicy sauce oneverything !!! The sangria is average but the bitter fruit might ruin it for you, dessert definitely needsimprovement. Overall there are more positives than negatives, don't expect excellent service but is friendly enough, my bestexperience was dining in but I've also done take out. I would give this review 3.5 but since is not possible I'm hoping theycan keep it up and do a little better. Read more
Used to frequent this place some years back. Many lunches with work friends. The chicken is okay, Recently ordered take out and... was disappointed. Ordered a side of mashed potatoes it was made with instant potato mix. Went another day because a friendbirthday and he was in the mood for chicken and before I got a chance to sit at an empty table the staff told me they open at12pm, I told him the time was 12:03 he rudely replied they?re not ready yet. So I left and went Pinang instead. Most restaurantsin the area have been struggling with challenges from the pandemic. My friend also mentioned the staff at this place are alwaysrude, so I was happy to take my business elsewhere Read more
Some dishes in this restaurant is just really bad. The pollo saltado is very dry. You have to put at least ketchup to save your... tastebuds. The tallarín verde was just not it, the only thing that saved it was the steak . I wouldn?t want to come here asecond time. Save your money too the prices are ridiculous. Read more
No chicken waited 40 minutes for carry out. The worse nasty service ever. The hostess all three young woman very rude. Pretty... much ignored me when I asked how much longer she told me "I didn't take your order". Haven't been there because of rude servicein 6 months that's it I'm done. Read more
