This is a cute, unassuming restaurant. Although it's on a busy street, it was pretty quiet on a Saturday evening. They have three outdoor tables and a bar in the front of the restaurant. The owners are Peruvian. To drink, I had the house red sangria. I loved that you could specify sweet, semi-sweet, or tart. I went for semi-sweet. It was nice and fruity and you could taste the wine. My husband enjoyed the strawberry pineapple wine punch, which had a bold pineapple flavor. They have several vegan entrees. I got the vegan chaufa with tofu. It was full of veggies and the fried rice was rich and well prepared. The tofu was nice and firm. I asked for hot sauce and they provided a red and a green option. The latter had cream in it. Our waitress warned that the red was quite spicy. It did have a kick, but it wasn't crazy and gave the dish the added flavor I was looking for. Their sweet plantains were satisfyingly charred for a crisp bite. Service was fast. read more

Harlemite is one of our neighborhood faves. Great vibes, really sweet staff, lovely decor and the food is awesome, with big portions. Also, i have ordered many a sangria before and never have I been asked what kind of red wine I'd like. I love that they give you the option! Sometimes, they will forget to remove the cilantro after we ask, but at least it's piled on top and fairly simple to take off. read more

I found this place a 20 minute walk from Columbia University because me and my bf wanted chicken. We ordered the whole chicken with rice and salad, and it was really great. Very filling for just $25. The service was great, the waiter was super polite! Ambiance was also very nice! read more

The place is clean and the workers are attentive. I got my food to go. I ordered the combo with chicken, salad, rice, and fries. Unfortunately, the flavor was not there. The rice was bland and tasted mostly of sesame oil, and the chicken lacked that Peruvian flavor--sigh. The green sauce had no taste. It just wasn't what I'm used to when I eat Peruvian food. Maybe the flavors have been gentrified because the area is changing--I don't know. In any event, try at your own risk. read more

This Peruvian restaurant is known for its seafood, but their meat and rice dishes are equally stellar. This was my first visit to Harlemite, and everything was exquisite -- from making the reservation to the food and the service. Our waiter was very friendly and gave helpful recommendations on what to order. My pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) came with rice or fries and salad, but I requested to substitute the rice/fries with tostones, and they happily accommodated at no extra charge. The meal was affordable and super flavorful -- no one does rotisserie chicken like Peruvians! And that's coming from a non-Peruvian. My friends ordered lomo saltado and shrimp chaufa (fried rice). The lomo saltado was a bit heavy on cumin, but the portion was generous and otherwise well seasoned. I'd definitely come back here. I do wish they were on OpenTable or Resy since I had to message them on Instagram to make the reservation, but fortunately they're responsive. Now to get that free dessert! read more

On my list of neighborhood go-tos! Can't go wrong with Harlemite. Love having a Peruvian option on the row, and delicious at that. We went during their soft opening a couple of years ago. They were just sort of playing around with the menu, but even then it was good. I don't think any of those menu options survived, unfortunately. Among them were lollipop chicken and I believe a version of mofongo. I don't know what took us this long to return, but I could kick myself for missing out! We suggested it to our friends who were visiting from Columbus OH and we all agreed it was a great choice. Clean plate stickers all around! We had plantains, yucca fries, various chaufa and fried rice and saltado. And it's so cute. Indoors as well as the red tabled back patio. And great friendly patient attentive professional service. Thank you, Harlemite! read more

1st, thank you Andres for being so attentive. The food was delicious. We started off with the chicken croquette which was delicious. I had the shrimp in the yellow sauce and it was creamy and the shrimp was tender. My cousin had the steak and her steak was cooked at such a perfect temperature. I highly recommend this gem and will definitely be back. read more

Stumbled upon Harlemite as me and my friend were walking your usual place and we were seeing so many new places and this one was intriguing if as it was empty, decided to tier a chance on it and was definitely wasn't disappointed. We decided to sit in the open garden area as it was a nice day. We were attended to right away and it was happy hour too so that was a plus! We went with a traditional Pervuian dish as an appetizer and got the salmon dish as our mains. All of it was amazing that I would definitely order this again. We both cleaned our plates and left very happy. The only downside was that hh the time we were ready to leave it was hard to get the attention of a server as it got really busy and there were only two people. They definitely need more hands to help the over whelming amount of consumers they get but other than that great place! read more

We had a lovely meal here. The restaurant was pretty and the ambiance was quiet and relaxed. It was easily accessible by subway. Our server was great and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The traditional ceviche was flavorful with very fresh fish that was not over "cooked" in the marinade. The salmon dish was as beautiful as it was tasty. The lomo saltado with pasta on the side was delicious. We would definitely go back! read more

The service here is pleasant. Drink wise, the business does not have hard liquor so you have the option of soft drinks, wine, beer or wine based cocktails like spritzes. For food, I ordered the lomo saltado which was decent overall. The French fries were cold and unsalted while the meat/veggies seemed to need a bit more salt. I don't think I'd come out of my way for a meal but I'd consider using it as a spot to meet up for light drinks and a snack etc. read more

We sat in the beautiful outdoor patio with faux leaves all along the fence and sparkling lights, the place was packed inside on a Saturday night and only a few outside tables left. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. I ending having the fried fish with onion salad and a side order of green beans. I thought the breading on the fish was too heavy for my taste but it was ok in taste. My friend ate salmon and shrimp in butter sauce with rice, she liked hers. She also had crème brûlée which was excellent. I had a glass of Merlot. The waitress was friendly and started out efficiently but as the place filled up she almost disappeared. I would like to go back to try more things but unfortunately I can't eat carbs and that eliminates pasta and rice but I will try the seafood soup and the salmon in the future. Not wheelchair accessible, has one step down to the entrance. read more

great restaurant. i really liked the jalea dish. It was truly awe inspiring and I loved it

I'm wishing on a little star for Yelp to add half stars on here because I would give this place a 3.5. I ordered two apps. The causa rellena as an appetizer was okay for my first time trying it. The options were chicken or tuna fish stuffing. I ordered the chicken one but they gave me the tuna one (I swore up and down it taste like tuna. It was not chicken at all). But cool. The shrimp tempura was my fave. I would get that a million times. The sauce was on point. Nice little kick to it that was paired nicely. The main entree was a shrimp and salmon splatter. The size of the salmon was approximately 1/3 of a regular-sized salmon. It was so thin. YELP HELP ME OUT - DID I GET ROBBED OR AM I BEING GREEDY? (Look at photo) . Dish tasted good. I loved the rice!! The crème brûlée was a straight robbery. It was the thinnest layer or crème brûlée. The "deep dish" was deceiving. The server was so nice. They were short staffed so he was solo with the help of maybe a manager(?). The food took a while but I had patience and time. They have a nice happy hour deal. $5 wine and other options. ...don't remember if it applied to all glasses listed or specific ones. They have a cute backyard. read more

I don't know where to begin but I feel like I'm home. I feel -- god I feel like I belong here. The service was impeccable. I got the pescado a la chorrillando (picutred here) and it was magnificent. Get the garlic-coconut sauce. I'd give up kissing for one liter sized bottle. I'm dead serious. Dinner date got the chicharon de pescado and loved every bite. Forget the fork and use your hands. Get extra limes and have a fun time. Thank you thank you Jocelyn for such amazing and personable service. She's the best. I felt like I was in good hands. Great even. Chicha Spritz was yummy and so was date's strawberry pineapple wine punch. We were tipsy and giggling throughout the lovely night. What more could you ask for. Beautiful outdoor seating as well (from what I could see from the inside. The lady gets cold easily. Cest La vie) read more
