We recently visited New London’s only Peruvian restaurant, CJ Peruvian aka Pollas a la Brasa! They told us they recently expanded, and the bar/dining room area was beautiful. Though they were out of a couple of items on the menu that we were interested in, the waitress was quick to come up with suggestions of other popular dishes. We decided to get an appetizer of salchipapas though simple, we’ve just never ordered it before and wanted to check it off our list! My fiancé loves a good Pisco sour and was very happy with the one here. The rotisserie chicken was flavorful and served with a delicious side of beans, and I enjoyed my beef with pesto pasta. All of the food came out very quickly!
We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was simply outstanding, and we truly enjoyed every moment. I ordered the arroz chaufa con pollo, which was a delightful chicken fried rice. We also shared a pitcher of chicha morada that had a lovely sweetness and a hint of cinnamon. For dessert, we indulged in picarones, and they were so delicious that we couldn't resist finishing them, despite being full. We'll definitely be returning every time we are in town.
The staff is incredibly friendly, but it's clear that the cooks lack a genuine Peruvian touch. The lomo saltado was very dry, lacking essential ingredients like salsa ostre, aji amarillo, and vinegar; it only had a hint of soy sauce. The ceviche was overwhelmed with celery and didn't have any cancha! The aji just didn't taste right either. The chicha definitely wasn't homemade. Has there been a change in ownership?
The ladies who serve have poor attention and response to customers. I had a 20 minute delay trying to call and they didn't answer, when I approached they said they would wait 20 to 30 minutes. And yet they decided to sell the order without first confirming or calling me. Terrible attention from the ladies, especially the one with glasses. But to demand the tips there if they are attentive. Bad attention

the service was terrible the server was not paying attention the whole time i was there. then she stopped us at the door demanding a tip. terrible terrible place ruined my whole experienced.spoke to the manager and nothing was done . my mother went for dinner and she denied her service because “she had to many tables and won’t be attending them quick” so disappointing.
They took a while with the food and apart from that they brought everyone their food and Ami brought it to me until everyone had finished eating at the table and besides the place smells a lot of urine they don't wash the bathrooms well that smell is everywhere maybe for them It's already familiar but for someone new you can smell urine
Always enjoyable. The onion and lime salad paired with a corona and a lime is the perfect thing on a hot summer day. We like to come here after a long hike and get the ceviche and salad and a beer. Perfection.
High prices and for delivery they cut the portion same price for less food is my expierence, have not uber eat or delivery
