Celebrating our 2 year anniversary in the restaurant where we met 2 years ago. Excellent Pisco sours (Get the jug if you are going to have more than 1 each as it works out cheaper) Food was excellent same as the last time so we were happy to see the quality was maintained. We also loved the portion sizes as they are just right for a hungry person. Well done Tierra Peru!

Diners have a choice of all the classical Peruvian dishes prepared by Peruvian chefs. My huanchaco (prawn) starter was outstanding and the lamb chops and trimmings for the main course were excellent. And don't miss the lucama cheesecake desert because you'll regret it. Also by far the best pisco sours in London.

Food was very good. Authentic and tasty. The Lamb chops were fantastic as was the cerviche. Portion sizes were generous and reasonable value, none of our group left the restaurant hungry. Service was sometimes slow and haphazard with some food items and drinks forgotten. However staff were friendly and quickly sorted out mistakes when made aware. Our table was by the door and the constant stream of takeaway riders standing in the window, tapping on the door and food being brought out to them did get quite irritating after a while. Overall a good and busy restaurant with a well thought out menu. I would book again.

What a hidden gem! Think we were the only table they don’t speak Spanish so you can tell how authentic and popular this one is. Best ceviche and piano sour, piscor sour original was the best, the passionfruit one not as amazing. Veggie quinoa main dish and veggi ceviche amazing too! Overall best of the best, welcoming staff, big portion, tasty food and clean environment! Can’t wait to come back
