This is a Colombian restaurant that is walking distance from The Noguchi Museum. You get to view…read morebeautiful works of art then dine on some delicious Colombian food and good music which does get quite loud especially on weekends since there is a DJ set. Their menu offers an array of dishes ranging from small bites to feast for the eyes and your belly. One dish or rather protein that is a focal point in their menu is chicken since they serve a lean cut of chicken breast or rotisserie chicken paired with rice and other sides. Do prepare your stomach to feast at this restaurant and your ears to listen to some lively music while dining. The servers are very sweet, attentive, and patient for first timer such as myself visiting this restaurant especially in this NYC heat. But I do speak Spanish and part of my family is from Colombia so it was a plus and flex for me since I got to connect more with them. Overall, this restaurant is ideal spot to dine at after visiting The Noguchi Museum. That's my personal recommendation since you get to feed the mind with art history then feed yourself with some delicious Colombian food.

I've been to Inca Paisa before, and unfortunately it has never been my first choice. The only…read morereason I return is because it's my grandmother's preferred restaurant since she lives nearby. We arrived around 6:20-6:30 p.m. There were plenty of open tables, but we weren't seated until much later. During that time, the male waiter seemed more concerned with other tasks. He was seating a woman whose party of six hadn't yet arrived, going back and forth to the kitchen, handing out receipts, and collecting menus. After all of that, he finally approached us--not to seat us--but to ask, "How long are you going to take?" I replied, "Sir, we're here to eat." He responded that the side tables were for people watching the game. I explained that we were there to dine, as this is a restaurant. Even after we were seated, he avoided our table completely. He took the order of a table that had been seated after us while we continued waiting. About 20 minutes later, a female waitress noticed we had not been helped and took over our table. She was attentive, professional, and the only reason we received service. After placing our order, we waited about an hour for our entrées. The food was also underwhelming. The Papa a la Huancaína came with an excessive amount of sauce and very few potatoes. The Ceviche Mixto lacked the bright citrus flavor that ceviche should have. My grandmother, who is very familiar with Peruvian cuisine, found it bland, and even after taking it home we couldn't improve it. The Bistec Encebollado was slightly too salty for our taste. The beans simply weren't to my liking, though that's a matter of personal preference. Another issue is the dining room layout. The seating is extremely tight, to the point where it feels like you're almost elbow-to-elbow with the tables next to you, making the experience feel cramped. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the slow and inattentive service, the long wait for food, the cramped seating, and several disappointing dishes, the experience did not justify the visit. The female waitress deserves recognition for stepping in when we had been overlooked, but unfortunately she couldn't make up for the rest of the experience.

Online had wide-open reservations, so possibly most people were walk-in? our cold dishes came out at a timely fashion, but out hot dishes were delayed. by then the restaurant was packed, but our orders should've been sent in before the rush? a nicer, casual dining spot. we sat out on the patio, because we had a dog in tow (provided water bowl)--thank goodness the weather was nice. I still had my mini fan blowing (mainly to steer away bugs), as they don't have overhead or standing fans. most dishes are shareable with ~3 people. their plating is exactly like the photos on their menu. didn't get to try their drinks, so will need to come back. it looks like they have some fun custom cocktails. *would get again What I Ordered: - ceviche mixto: standard, a little spicy, didn't like one of the corns - ceviche carretilla*: better variety than the mixto, not as spicy - grilled corn causa: like a potato salad with corn - arroz con mariscos: server said it's more like risotto + he's right because it was cheesy???, good mix of seafood - arroz con pollo: well prepared, rare not shareable dish, only 1 maduro??? - aji de gallina*: so tender + comforting - passionfruit cheesecake: accurate, not for me - lucuma panna cotta*: as the server said "balanced"

Wow. My sister who used to live in Astoria recommended this place and it was delicious…read more The chicken is juicy and seasoned well. I think this might've been some of the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had. The pork fried rice was solid with decent chunks of pork. The salad was delicious, something about a simple iceberg salad and that tomato mayo dressing does something to me. The green sauce was phenomenal, I can drink that stuff. It's zesty, fresh, and perfect to pair with the chicken. My total was about $13. I love the meal so much I'm thinking about getting it again today. Overall, I'd highly recommend Caravan Chicken.

First and foremost, I love how they have more than 1 vegetarian main option, and both the tofu and mushrooms are FANTASTIC. Either it was just a really good day or Brasa truly just knows how to cook and season mushrooms WELL. Just like an "bowl" restaurant, choose your base, proteins and here, unlimited toppings. Everything was so flavorful and exceeded my expectations. On top of that, my "bowl maker" Chris was so kind and patient as I filled my bowl to the brim. I will absolutely be making Brasa a staple!

I only took 2 bites of their rice and I gave the rest to L since he can handle more salt. Even he said it was incredibly salty. I know other people are used to salty food but this was just too much. Other than the salt, it was good. He loved the red onions, too bad there wasn't enough. Lil pricey at $17ish after tax since there isn't a ton of meat. Although we did love our first visit, we can't come back due to the salt. Although it could've been a one time thing that the food was over salted...maybe I'll check out a different location. The staff was nice and made my food for me as soon as I confirmed my order. The restaurant is also really bright inside and it was pretty clean compared to other similar establishments.

If the owner speaks to your own mother in a very demeaning and condescending way ... don't come here Now Here's a little back story. We came here because we are very familiar with 46st Sunnyside having various Peruvian restaurants and we enjoy trying new places. Although the food was good ... majority of it; as I feel the papa à la huancaina either had too many condiments or expired dairy products. Overall it was okay but the owner speaking to my mother in such a disgusting way in the end really had me flabbergasted. And I didn't get involve in their conversation as I had my baby with us. But best believe I wouldn't come back here or recommend it. Also I kind of figured you guys "owned the place" as while you sat down and ate your meal you were observing and listening to everything my parents and I were saying. The place was practically empty when we walked in; aside from the 3 people at the bar and a family sitting all the way in the back also with their baby. Our waiters were nice! I'm not going to take away from their attentiveness and way they spoke to us. Would I give it another chance? Never in my life. Now this happened on the first Saturday on this month and I still have a bad taste in my mouth and my stomach still aches ...
