    Roasted veggies
    Kern C.

    Claudy's had a weird moldy scent that hits you upon entering . It is however very visibly clean and well kept , including the "out of order" restroom. 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 .

    Found this place when I was researching the best local empanadas that wasn't empanada mama (still love, just needed more). Never realized how close this place was to me so I stopped by and glad I did!! Ps: they serve "happy juice" aka sangria. ;) The ambience is no frills, casual and homey. The staff is warm and welcoming. 10/10

    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. Two Thumbs up for me. HAPPY YELPING!

    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. Ambiance can be busy at times so if you're picking up order before hand.

    Don't write an honest review. Owner will get defensive.

    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.

    Special of the day- Aji De Gallina. Stick with what they're know for as this was subpar at best.
    Glenn C.

    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.

    This Peruvian restaurant is a MUST ! My boyfriend has been wanting us to visit for some time now and we finally made it! So worth it. Such a cute little restaurant located in van cortland in the Bronx. I'd rate it a 10/10. The food was amazing. We ordered a whole chicken with white rice and some chicken empanadas. Chicken was cooked to perfection. The green hot salsa spread on top of the chicken was the cherry on top! Everything was so delicious ! The chicken empanadas were so tasty and juicy too. Claudys Kitchen did not disappoint ! We also had the sangria which we loved as well! We will definitely be returning to try out more from the menu.

    Chicha morada and empanadas

    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

    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.

    ‼Fair Warning‼ Dangers of patronizing Sazon Stizzy may include:…read more- not being able to stop thinking about their food -flavors in your own cooking/dining elsewhere falling flat in comparison - visiting Sazon Stizzy twice in one week I am seriously delighted to have discovered Sazon Stizzy. This is a family run restaurant where the food is prepared from high quality ingredients, made with love, offered in generous portions at reasonable prices. The customer service feels like a warm hug from a loving family member or friend. Nicole is the queen at Sazon Stizzy- working with her grandmother's recipes. Her friendly husband and charming son work "front of house" taking orders, processing payment, and offering warm hospitality and professionalism. Every bite I have tasted here has been incredible. My current favorites ** (I am sure they will change as the menu updates and new specials rotate through) are the chaufa egg fried rice ( really good with a protein), the mac attack mac and cheese and the honey garlic boneless chicken. The salom was also really good - what would make it 10/10 is if a cooked vegetable could be one of the side offerings. I LOVE that they already have a green salad as one option for a side, and I would absolutely love a cooked vegetable to enjoy with my salmon. Thank you Nicole, Joseph and your entire team

    Stizzy Sazon is as good as it gets! It's a bit expensive (especially if you order from Uber Eats),…read morebut the extra $$ is well worth it. Trust me-- every single bite will leave you in food heaven! For our meals, we ordered two of their Build Your Own "Large Size" meals, which comes with two proteins and two large sides. See below for all the details! MEAL ONE: I ordered the salmon and stewed pork chops for my mains and the mac & cheese and rice & beans for my sides, and I must say it was yummy all around. Seriously, I'm not kidding when I say everything was mind blowing! That mac & cheese -- wow, it is 'slap your mama' good.... and probably the most butter I've eaten all year but worth every bite. Likewise, the salmon was out-of-control good! As for the beans & rice and pork chops, they were tasty as well and rounded out the meal nicely. MEAL TWO: Tony had the fried chicken fingers, creamy garlic chicken, French fries, and rice & beans. He loved every bite as well and, after I begged him a few times, reluctantly let me taste a few bites. So I can also attest his choices were yummy all around, too. The only other thing we ordered was a dessert of Dulce Du Leche to share. There are no words. (Note I quickly downed the entire thing and only let Ton have one little bite.) Trust me: Order this, and you will also inhale it. Final thoughts: We DEF be ordering from Stizzy again... and again... but maybe not too often b/c eating too much of this amazing food could lead to Type 2 Diabetes if not eaten sparingly. Oh, and next time, we'll be picking up our meals to save the extra cash charged by food delivery services.
