Excellent food. The chicken is moist and succulent, and the sides are clearly prepared with love. I occasionally add on an empanada to enjoy as a treat. It's also a wonder meal to order if you are sharing with a few people. read more

Can't believe I didn't come here before. Aji de gallina dish was excellent. Empanadas were great. Make sure to ask for the green sauce on the side (an extra dollar or so) because they will not necessarily remind you. They apparently make several flavors of flan in house. I'm definitely going back to try all. Get the juices too... I had an excellent chicha morada which I think is made with pineapple, apple, cloves, and purple corn? Menu at the counter is not the full menu. The full menu is via QR code or on their website. I do wish they could have some printed full menus just because I am old. Good for groups and takeout service is quick. I'll be back for the rest of the menu. read more

Claudy's Kitchen - Aji de gallina - Empanadas Near Me - Bronx, New York

It's not fancy. It's not experimental. It's classic Peruvian food done right. And I love it. We went after a stroll through the nearby Van Corrlandt House museum (also worth a quick visit). We were in the mood for Latino food and this place had amazing reviews. It was legit. And is Michelin recommended, so you don't have to take my word for it. The food was perfectly seasoned and cooked, like someone's abuela made it just how you like. The portion size was good, we were full splitting a half chicken and two empanada.

Claudy's Kitchen, Part 2 I managed to take home a few whole Pollo a la Brasa, with the Huancaina fettuccine with smoked pork rib pieces and shrimp Chaufa, plus some Lomo Saltado and Chicharron Empanadas, Coffee flan and the canchita popcorn. As much as I ordered, there is a whole lot more that appears on their menu after scanning the QR Codes on the tables. The Canchita is a nice crunchy snack on its own, but is kicked up a notch with the green sauce. If you like popcorn, try the canchita. The Lomo Saltado Empanadas are good and very good relative to empanadas I have had elsewhere, but the Chicharron Empanadas are where it's at here. The pork belly is not too fatty and the flavor and texture will keep these on steady rotation every time you come here. The Huancaina sauce over the fettuccine pasta with the small pieces of smoked pork rib meat will remind you of pancetta, but the Huancaina sauce is familiar with a cheesy and creamy texture that barely hints at the yellow peppers in the sauce. This is comfort food that accompanies the Pollo a la Brasa with the green sauce perfectly. They could have been more generous with the pork rib in this dish and the pieces are so small I had to taste them alone to know how they taste, otherwise becoming lost in the sauce. The Shmrip Chaufa, which, like the fettuccine, can be ordered with several proteins, hints at the East Asian influence on Peruvian cuisine, similar to the Lomo Saltado. It's a great fried rice, that elsewhere would go well with soy sauce. Here, the green sauce is on order. The salad that came with the family meal is crisp lettuce, tomato and cucumber with their bright vinaigrette dressing and it cuts across the rich and savory flavors you experience here. I reserved the last, but not least, for the Pollo a la Brasa. You will start eating this with a knife and fork, but end cleaning the bones with your hands in mouth. This is where you'll get down and don't care who is watching as you devour this chicken, where the flavor and texture of the crisp skin, gives way to tender and juicy chicken and ends with the flavor of the bones. The skin was crisp after coming out of my oven at home and would come out even better in a convection oven or air fryer. As good as the Lomo Saltado is, the Pollo a la Brasa is better in my opinion. The green sauce puts this chicken over the top and this chicken must be among the best roasted or rotisserie chicken you can find among the five boroughs. The coffee flan is very good. I am not one who can evaluate flan, given I don't eat it often. I don't have a sweet tooth typically. However, I appreciated the texture and contrast with the coffee. My total for all this came to $160 before tip, which is not bad for this amount of quality food and befitting of the Michelin Bib Gourmand rating. One well known chain of Peruvian restaurants in the City will charge you the same family meal price for one chicken and it will not be as good. It's midweek and I'm still eating and the other chicken is in the freezer for another time. 4.3 very returnworthy stars! read more

Claudy's Kitchen - Lomo Saltado, Chicken Empanada, Large Chaufa, Chicken - Empanadas Near Me - Bronx, New York

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Claudy's had a weird moldy scent that hits you upon entering[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is however very visibly clean and well kept , including the "out of order" restroom[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Service was prompt by who I suspect was the manager or owner and the food came out quickly. The rotisserie chicken was incredibly tender and juicy and the green sauce was also really well made and complimented the chicken and the veggie chaufa I ordered . A large side is easily 3 adult servings so the chaufa needless to say was not finished . Even though it was a veggie chaufa , the veggies were more scarce than I would've liked but the flavor was certainly top notch with it being light and pillowy and savory. I recommend anyone to order the roasted zucchini side as that was one of the standouts and it paired well with just about everything . I washed down everything with their traditional purple corn drink and that to me was unfortunately a tad too sweet and I couldn't finish it but it still tasted fine I can acknowledge . This was a solid Peruvian restaurant that I'm glad to have visited but for me , it's maybe slightly overrated . read more

Still a staple in the neighborhood. Stopped by to get me some chicken and shrimp chaufa and I forget the name of the purple drink that they make, but it's one of the best homemade drinks I had in my life. Everything is still deliciously made to order and really good. I also ordered an Lomo Saltado empanada, I prefer the actual dish they you can also purchase here, but I decided to get a quicker version, also tasty. Im always happy to see a small business owner with great food, service and vibes, become a neighborhood gem. So if you haven't been please make a visit and enjoy some great food and service.

I'm a big foody and love contributing to local family businesses that actually put love in their food. Being so close to home this place was an absolute treat. Their food here is simply for better words delicious. The Pescado Cevichi is to die for even the juice from it is so tasty very authentic. The Chupe de Pescado with Camerones was so flavorful I was just missing an avocado to add to my bowl. Only suggestion is can you please place the Cevichi on the Uber eats menu so unfair it's not lol.

Edited rating based on DM from owner. Don't post anything less than 4 stars, otherwise you'll get a rude DM from owner. The message was unnecessary considering what I believe is a fair 3 star review. Note to restaurateurs: Don't DM people with passive aggressive comments. As an owner be prepared for feedback without having to get defensive. Message included below. Original Review: 3 stars. Ordered takeout, specifically the Lomo saltado and an empanada, and as much as I really wanted to love it, it was just okay. It's pretty expensive considering the portion size. Empanadas are tiny and for the lomo specifically, it was a ton of rice and fries and a handful of pieces of beef/vegetables. Flavor was good but I likely won't order again. read more

Claudy's Kitchen - Don't write an honest review. Owner will get defensive. - Empanadas Near Me - Bronx, New York

Side note: Minor edits based on reply and DM. Rating has also been pushed up as while I don't agree fully with one comment especially, I honestly do agree that my experience likely doesn't reflect the restaurant as a whole. You know when you go to a restaurant and you think you ordered the wrong dish as everyone had gotten their food already and you were still waiting? I had that experience here several months ago when I was here as everyone else with me got their food and liked it and my food was subpar. I've heard great things about this spot and from the specials board, they listed one of my favorite Peruvian dishes known as Aji de Gallina. Aji de gallina is basically a chicken stew made with aji amarillo (a type of yellow pepper,) as well as a bit of nuts and some spices. While the price wasn't listed, I know the prices otherwise are pretty reasonable here and sat down and waited for maybe a good 25 minutes compared to the rest of the folks with me who waited at most 10-15 minutes. The staff in front were fine and they were moderately crowded with a lot of people coming in to get takeout. After waiting that long, I finally got my meal which consisted of arroz blanco/white rice and said dish with a single olive as well as half a boiled egg which the latter is a usual accompaniment. I would have been fine with it if the flavor was good but it wasn't. It was too sweet, definitely not spicy enough, and just lacked depth in general. The chicken was fine and there was plenty of it but it's hard to go wrong with shredded chicken that's been cooked for that long. The extra kick in the dirt was the price tag. I presumed based on other dishes that it would have been $15 bucks at the most but the price tag was $19 or $20 which was surprising. The price tag should have been up there or I should have paid at the start as likely I wouldn't have ordered it and just stuck with some of their more famous empanadas or their roasted chicken/pollo a la brasa (someone gave me a piece while I was waiting and it was pretty tasty.) The price point combined with the flavor which was by far the worst version of this dish I've had and I've had this dish a large number of times leaves me with a bad experience but I think I just ordered the wrong dish. I presume I would have liked the empanadas and definitely liked the roasted chicken but I guess skip the aji de gallina (as long as it's not stuffed within an empanada which is a fun/novel touch.) 2 for the chicken I tried primarily as my main dish wasn't that good. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little concerning that it was lunchtime on Sunday and pretty empty but very glad we tried it instead of queuing at hipster restaurants.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fresh romaine salad with finely chopped tomatoes, cucumber and red bell peppers was a promising start. We got the family meal with whole chicken and yuca fries and frejoles (beans) and a side order of chaufa (fried rice). Again everything tasted fresh, chicken and fried served hot and not overly salted, and the chicken was juicy. The meal came with the ever critical green sauce and fried Peruvian corn which added a nice crunch to the rice and beans. We also got a chicken empanada and ate it with some of the green sauce. Should have chosen a different filling since we were already having chicken. Next time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Successful casual dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Must order the chicken and yuca. They are very friendly and service focused. The rice has wok hei

What are you waiting for? Claudy's Kitchen is a family owned business and Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant that always hits the spot at a very affordable price. They have a great menu with all of the Peruvian delights. I've had a variety of items, but most often their empanadas, fried rice and salads. No trip is complete however, without an order of the yucca fries (my favorite ever --actual chunks seasoned and fried to perfection), their pollo a la brasa, and a bucket of their green sauce. Seriously, the green sauce alone is worth the visit. Their portions are customizable for the solo eater like myself (I often get the 1/4 chicken) or a family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quick service with plenty of seating and an unbeatable location for commuters, right on the 1 train and across from Van Cortland Park.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Do yourself a favor and stop by! read more

Seeing as I came to Claudy's Kitchen for a quick bite, I'll keep this review short, sweet, and to the point. I had ordered 3 empanadas: the Aji, Lomo Saltado, and Chicharron. I also got a chicha morada (purple corn) drink. My colleague had ordered the Rotisserie chicken and the fried rice. The empanadas were fried perfectly, but I thought that the taste was just okay. Nothing spectacular but not bad at all. My colleague shared her fried rice and chicken with me, which was absolutely AMAZING! The chicken was super moist and had so much flavor, and the rice was flavorful as well. The green sauce they gave us on the side was delicious and only elevated all the food items. The chicha morada was delicious and refreshing. It reminded me of Jamaica but not as sweet. It paired perfectly with the food. Customer service was excellent. The staff behind the counter was very friendly and helped us to choose what items to order. Preparation of the food was pretty quick too, especially considering that everything is made to order. The interior of the restaurant was also very clean and well kept, and the menu was easy enough to read Overall, I think this place is a great spot for a quick bite. I didn't give it 5 stars because I was a little underwhelmed with the empanadas, but everything else was wonderful. I'm definitely going to return to try their other offerings read more

Great food! I order from them off of Grubhub and it's always on time. The flavor and consistency never disappoints.

At Claudy's Kitchen -- Peruvian Empanadas This Michelin Bib Gourmand in the Bronx has the best empanadas! My favorite empanada filling is the chicharon, a crunchy and savory pork pieces kept within a pocket of deliciously crafted dough. I also got a serving of the traditional chicha morada, a Peruvian purple corn drink with ripe pineapple and select spices that I love making at home. Located within the fringes of the upscale Riverdale neighborhood in the Bronx, it's a short walk to spacious and historical Van Cortland Park and Manhattan College, a private Catholic school run by the De la Salle Christian Brothers, the same French brothers who established the DLSU in the Philippines.

I really miss living in this area, precisely because of all the variety of really good food spots around here. There's so much culture and so many different cuisines that dining out/takeaway/delivery could never get boring. I was craving Peruvian and we had an hour to get to Claudy's before closing. There are Peruvian spots by me but none compare to Claudy's. Luckily they're not too far from my current residence, but it IS a drive....definitely worth it though. When we arrived, both Ricky (?) and Claudia took our large order. We had sangria while we waited. Everything was packaged with care and we got home with all of the food still warm. Grub Rundown: Sangria - tasty but I wish there was more fruit in the cup. The best part of sangria IMO is the wine-soaked fruit at the bottom Chicha Morada - always good, spicy and slightly sweet. Family Combo: comes with a whole bird, salad and two sides or one large side Pollo Ala Brasa - by far, the best rotisserie is Peruvian rotisserie. This meat falls off the bone and it's juicy! I ordered a whole bird for the fam. Beef Chaufa - I opted for the large side and paid extra for beef in the chaufa. They pack a lot of chaufa in the container. We love their chaufa. Regular Fries - got this for the kiddo...seasoned well but you should definitely opt for the yucca fries instead. Yucca Fries - I got these for my son. He let me get two and they're so good! Well-seasoned and soft inside. They taste so good with the green sauce! Tallerines Verdes - I ordered a small pesto pasta because I love theirs. Again, they pack a lot of food in their containers. Empanadas - I ordered a variety of them. They're always good. The beef ones are my favorite. The filling is plentiful and the dough is just enough. We even got an apple dessert empanada and it tasted like apple pie. Soo good! Claudia informed us that they now serve Peruvian cookies, Alfajores, and asked if we wanted any. Initially, all I saw was powdered sugar and dulce de leche filling, thinking they were be cloyingly sweet, but on the contrary, they are perfect! I suggest letting them get to room temp because they are so delicate and not at all too sweet, even with the caramel filling. OMG! Perfect! I'm kicking myself that I only bought two (hubby ate the second without asking permission so now he has to go get me more). I love seeing local family owned and operated businesses thrive. They're in it for the long haul and they food and service speaks volumes for their success. Shop local and support them, and always, ALWAYS...get extra green sauce! read more

Since Claudy's Kitchen was mentioned as a Bib Gourmand winner, I had to check them out, and wanted to try their empanadas first. They're conveniently located right under the 242nd street stop on the 1. I ordered a bunch of empanadas for pick up which included beef, chicharron, aji de gallina, and regular pollo. I also got some yuca fries as a side. I REALLY wanted to try their lomo saltado empanada but they were out that day. The beef and aji de gallina empanadas were soooo good. They were so seasoned and flavorful. I highly regret only getting one of each. The chicharron and regular pollo were nothing special. The yuca fries were crispy and good, especially with the green sauce. I'll definitely swing back here for some more beef and aji de gallina empanadas, and I will get my hands on the lomo one soon. I also want to try their bigger dishes since people seem to have great things to say about them. read more

Claudy's is a classy establishment with a real family-friendly feel. Baked empanadas with a thin golden crust soar across the finish line. We enjoyed verde (spinach and cheese) empanada, the veggie, and the pollo. The shrimp chaufa was awesome, a Peruvian style fried rice that just brings you home. The salad was nice with seared shrimp and avocado. The purple corn drink was really nice as well. Will definitely be back next time we're near Van Cortland Park! read more

Unbelievable! My family and I were intending to have a slice of pizza but lucky for us the pizzeria was closed and this place was open. The service was amazing - our server was Alvaro - and the food was the best Peruvian I have ever had. The Lomo Saltado was amazing. I'm so glad that I didn't shy away from the dessert. The passion fruit flan was the best flan I ever had. No wonder they won a Bib Gourmand two years in a row!! This place is a secret gem!! read more

The chicken is beyond good. Empanadas also a home run. Fried rice better than chinese food.

Was recently introduced to Claudy's Kitchen via a Yelp Event. This is a lovely family owned Peruvian restaurant located across from VCP (Van Cortlandt Park) in the Kingsbridge section of The Bronx. Richard (owner) and his staff make you feel welcome as soon as you step foot in the door. From the menu suggestions and pronunciation assistance (welcomed) to the different hand written thank-you notes written on every bag... you leave grateful for your experience and excited to return. While at the event I sampled empanadas and chicha morada (see previous review) and with such a welcoming atmosphere and an appreciation for the company I was with (Amanda & Randi). I decided to stick around and try some additional items on the spot and to go. While seated I ordered the Sangria and sampled the chocolate flan. Not a red sangria fan but Richard had me @ "brandy", one of the ingredients he uses. It was good and I would have indulged some more but you know traffic rules/regulations discouraged that thought. The chocolate flan (courtesy of Randi) was a surprise. Let's say past bad experiences of both texture and lack of freshness left me extremely uninterested in this dessert overall. However, the flan I sampled @ CK's was light, not too sweet and "texture" acceptable. Now I have to re-consider how I feel about flan in general. Now for the bag full of goodies I took to-go. I decided on the Tallarines (linguine) Verdes (pesto), Chaufa (fried rice), & Pollo ala Brasa 1/2 Chicken. Everything traveled well, was packaged & labeled nicely and most importantly was good. Peruvian chicken always taste amazing and CK's is no different. There was a debate regarding the Tallerines (Huancaina vs Verdes), since I went with the verdes and enjoyed it, I will have to try the huancaina next time. There isnt much to say about the Chaufa, except carbs are the Devil that's why they always taste so good. Lol Overall great food/service/staff at a reasonable price point in the Boogie.... So check out Claudy's Kitchen you will be a repeat customer. Just A Note: Richard calls the Sangria "Happy Juice" and you will definitely leave with a smile. read more
