Jora

Service was great, staff was very friendly. I was a little disappointed with the ceviche mixto because it was just too sour and salty. For our main entrees we ordered the lamb and the Lomo salteado which were both delicious . I wish they offered a kids menu or more food options for them.<br>For dessert , we had the passion fruit cheesecake that barely tasted like cheesecake. All in all, will come back to try more dishes

I was honestly so surprised by how good the food was at Jora. We ordered the ceviche mixto as an appetizer to share and the seafood was very fresh and cooked perfectly. The ceviche sauce was so good that we were even drinking it with a spoon long after all the seafood was gone - the only thing I wish it had was maybe plantain ships or something equivalent for the purpose of the sauce. For entrees my friend ordered the salmon and I order the arroz con mariscos (peruvian-styled seafood paella). The salmon came in a creamy sauce with eggplant and mushrooms and while the salmon was delicious, neither of us were crazy about the sauce it was in or the eggplant. The seafood paella on the other hand was absolutely delicious! Again, the seafood was very fresh, clean, and perfectly cooked. Overall, the portions were literally perfect - not big and not small, just right - and the value of our dinner was appropriate.

I came to Jora to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was incredible. They have a great variety of cocktails as well as mocktails/ non alcoholic options which I always love and appreciate! The food was truly insane. For appetizers we got the tasting of empanadas, pastel de choclo, ceviche carretilla, and the causa croquettes. Each of them were packed with flavor in every bite. So delicious. I had the salmon dish as my main meal and it truly blew my mind! I recommend it to everyone because it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had!! Afterwards, we finished up with their mango and panna cotta dessert that were both light and amazing. The service was very nice as well and they were very accommodating with changing my reservation and the table we were seated at. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their incredible menu. :)

We didn’t make a reservation , and the waiting list wasn’t as bad . We order some pisco sours until they get us a table which took about 15 to 20 minutes . The hostess was very nice and friendly. Then we order 2 entrees. Pastel de cholo and mix of causas , both delicious. Out of this world . Seriously one of the best we have try before . The pisco sours just like in Peru not too strong not to weak . Just perfect I literally order like 3. Coco, chicha , and Maracuya. For main dish lomo saltado . Super delicious , el aji de gallina also amazing. Dft so far my favorite Peruvian food in New York . Highly recommended:)

Hidden gem in LIC where the food is amazing, staff is accommodating and the ambiance makes you feel like you’re on vacation! This spot is located on the corner of 47th street so you can miss it. One of the best things about this restaurant is directly across the street. There is free parking for about four cars. The rest is regular street parking. But coming here for lunch. It was easy to park for free in one of those spots. I asked for recommendations from the waitress and what she recommended did not fail. My guest and I left here fully satisfied, and will be returning for dinner to see what the nighttime vibes are all about. I’m interested in trying one of the dishes. The bartender stated that he makes with Budweiser beer!?! Can’t wait to go bake. Go here!!!

My favorite local spot. All the dishes are delicious. Highly recommend the fried yucca. The grill octopus appetizer is amazing.

Food was absolutely delicious! We had the mixto ceviche, octopus, chicken dish and paella dish. Everything was awesome, the chicken fell off the bone and was so tender. The ceviche was so flavorful, the octopus was tender and so good. The cocktails were great. Will definitely return!

Came here for holiday work dinner and we had an Incredible fine dining experience!<br>The pisco sours are divine and the authentic Peruvian food is delicious 😋<br>I highly recommend the jalea appetizer it’s a fried seafood mix with calamari shrimp fish and yucca with red onion and some amazing sauces. I ordered the pastel de choclo which was flavorful with plenty of truffle and cheese 🧀<br>The lomo saltado came with fries which were such a delight!<br>The pisco shots at the end of the meal were a nice touch too and this place is overall phenomenal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Jora. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening memorable.<br><br>Miguel was exceptional; he was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our waitress, Lorena, was equally outstanding. Their care, professionalism, and kindness truly stood out, making us feel exceptionally well taken care of.<br><br>The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. It was one of those meals where every bite feels memorable. The Lomo Saltado was a standout, but honestly, all the dishes were incredible.<br><br>What made the night truly unforgettable was how the team helped us celebrate my mother’s birthday. They made a special day even more meaningful, surprising her with a celebratory birthday dessert that she absolutely loved. She had an incredible time and was so grateful for the attention and service, and honestly, so were we.<br><br>Everything was perfect from start to finish. Jora delivered not just an amazing meal, but a genuine experience filled with care and hospitality. We will absolutely be returning and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Amazing spot! Delicious food, really nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. The presentation was really nice and the drinks were great. We all enjoyed our time at the restaurant. I highly recommend trying this place.

Love this spot. Service is outstanding & food is amazing. Got the salmon with aji amarillo curry, it was cooked to perfection, skin was crispy, and the eggplants and mushroom along with the dash of chili oil made the dish even better.<br>The maduros were good too.

Food: pretty good but small portions (in particular the meat) especially for the price<br>Service: was also pretty good but kept trying to take our plates away when we were taking our time eating and rushed us out even though the restaurant was only ~50% occupation. This really felt weird and kind of passive aggressive too.<br>Atmosphere: very cute restaurant<br><br>Overall: would not go back due to the aforementioned comments on small food portions and weird service treatment.

Restaurant bar, I went with family to get a drink and small bites. The bar is a separate from the restaurant which is a nice touch. Decor was simple and highlighted Peru's 🇵🇪 culture Nazca lines, the llama neon sign, and precolumbian artifacts and picture frames. As we arrived it was happy hour we enjoyed some drinks from that menu frozen piscos with different flavors l, Sapporo beer and gin atonic andino. We had yuca frita(came with flakes of cheese on top and sauce) sea food plates(came with pickle red onion and a sauce with youcca) and rib were garnished with scallion accompanied with a side of gherkin pickle. Music was playing on the background and it was not over bearing. Overall I enjoyed our outing and plan to return to enjoy restaurant. The server was attentive and brought us more sauce for our yuca.I noticed they did have parking spots that belong to the restaurant. Although I parked on the street.

Jora offers excellent Peruvian dishes. Ceviche carretilla has a prefect blend of flavor and texture with fresh ingredients; tangy and savory, tender and crunchy. Grilled octopus was smoky, not chewy, served over a bed of creamy yukon mille fueille. Salmon was exactly how I like it; crunchy skin with juicy and tender meat, melts in my mouth. Aji amarillo curry was a great addition to the flavor profile with a touch of creaminess. Aji de gallina is a beautiful dish with shredded chicken, I like the addition of quail eggs.<br>The restaurant is spacious, offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. The bar area is quite nice. We were seated immediately without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon. Service is good, although server forgot to deliver my drink even though the restaurant was not crowded at the time.<br>I would recommend this restaurant for the food itself. It's a great place to try if you are looking for Peruvian dishes.

One word Delicious. The very best grilled octopus I have tried. The yuca sticks also very good and unexpectedly truffled which was nice. The lomo saltado may be better off with extra meat though. Dessert also incredible
