The Inkan: A Taste of Authentic Peruvian Cuisine in Long Island City

The food is absolutely amazing!!! Ambiance is so intimate and stunning the staff is extremely friendly and pleasant. 10 outta 10 love love love the chicharon de pollo, the Calamari the sweet plantains everything was A1!!! Highly recommend.

Their Happy hour is 10/10, great cocktails for a great price! They gave chips and salsa for every table. Their cheese empanada was heavy and massive for the $5 price. Look at that cheese pull!! Happy hour is in the attached picture, but ranges from $5 beers to $9 cocktails. Ambiance - fun music, and a cool backyard, if was too cold to go outside but would be fun for the summers Service - sweet staff

The atmosphere was so nice and chill. The servers are so nice and have great service. Matias was our server and he was great. And the food was amazing, perfect Latin cuisine spot for a date. And they have chill jazz music on Fridays :). Will def be returning again

Damn that was good. They gave me a piece of my Peru, didn’t wanted to leave. Every dish was perfectly made. Delicious. And the attention was flawless. Shut out to Beatriz and Matias.

Great value with price and portions. We both ordered individual plates: (1) 1/4 chicken rotisserie with (3) sides avocado/mashed potatoes/sweet plantains and (1) Chicken chiccarones with (2) sides rice/sweet plantains. There was no wait for a table on a Saturday night at 7PM….right off the 7 train @ court square. Prompt and friendly enough greeting and service as we were the only ones there. Ordered a Modelo and Guanabana juice (which was fresh without the overload of sugar). While you wait, you can tell the chips are homemade there and love their jalapeño dip…addicting. Generous portions which I loved. My chicken rotisserie was justtt short of being dry, but the overall flavor was flavorful. Great mashed potatoes flavor. The sweet plantains were a bit oily…perhaps a bit more sugar would be great, but they were big! It was the only piece on my plate I was not able to finish. Everything was affordable unlike spending an arm & leg at some of the NYC restaurants. Also love the space heater in the bathroom lol! Will definitely come back.

The service at The Inkan is truly family-oriented and of excellent quality. From the very first visit, this place becomes a regular spot where you feel right at home, all thanks to the incredible hospitality of the owners. The backyard patio is a total hidden gem—super spacious, comfortable, and the perfect vibe for a relaxed dinner. As for the food, the Entraña (skirt steak) is a solid 8/10. It was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. You can really tell they care about the quality of every plate they put out. If you want a place that combines great food with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is it. It’s officially my new go-to in the neighborhood.

After seeing so many great reviews, we had to give The Inkan a try — and overall, it was a really good experience. The flavors were bold and authentic, and you can tell the dishes are made with care. The chaufa de carne was well seasoned with tender pieces of beef, and the tallarín verde con bistec had a creamy, flavorful green sauce paired with a nicely cooked steak. The lomo salteado the inkan was tasty with a great balance of onions and tomatoes, and the shrimp, which were cooked well, complemented the dish nicely. The portions were very generous (shared between 2 adults) and the atmosphere was welcoming. While it didn’t completely wow us, it was still a solid spot for Peruvian food, and we’d definitely consider coming back to try more dishes.

Indoor and Outdoor Dining area. Jorge welcomed us, we picked a table outside. Pet friendly. Delicious food. Excellent service. Our first time, but definitely will be back soon! Thank you.
