    Burrito bowl

    No Peruvian chicken available No plantains available Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon during our travels based on the 4.7 rating the restaurant has (not a clue how). The restaurant is in a little strip mall with 4-5 other restaurants, and I bet any of the other restaurants would have been a better choice. Inka Kitchen looked the fanciest on the outside with its seating area and fresh hanging flower baskets outside. I ordered a water with lemon. Sorry, no lemon, is lime okay? I also ordered an Inka cola. Sorry, we only have 2 liters, no individual servings. Then I ordered a 1/2 chicken with fried plantains & black beans. Sorry, no Peruvian chicken and the plantains are not sweet. The Peruvian restaurant did not have Peruvian chicken or fried plantains. So, I settled for a burrito bowl. I could not have been more disappointed. The chicken was tasteless but salty and tough/dry. There was a tablespoon of black beans, some diced tomatoes, definitely NOT pico de gallo, four slices of avocado, no guacamole, no sour cream. The other person had a quesadilla which they said was okay. So, how the restaurant has a 4.7 review is BEYOND me.

    Still one of the absolute best restaurants in Chambersburg, and I'm still loving that lomo saltado while continuing to try more and more of the menu. I just love how colorful and friendly this restaurant is, too! Ignore the low review. He's not the only person who's spent time in Latin America. Some of us actually enjoy good food!

    The atmosphere is always so kind and welcoming and the food is always so delicious, we always leave so full and satisfied! There's so many different options you cannot go wrong at all! And Hannah is a wonderful and kind sever! We love coming here!

    Fantastic food. We enjoyed Peruvian and Dominican dishes; items we've never had before. I don't recall the names, but one was pulled chicken in a yellow pepper cream sauce with rice. The other dish was a creamy tomato based sauce with shrimp and rice and tostones. Plus a green side salad (the green house dressing simple and flavorful). Several gluten-free options. Quick friendly service, and an easy stop off I-81. Will definitely return to try some more of the menu.

    I was actually in the mood for Indian food at the restaurant next door which is closed on Sundays, so decided to eat at the Inka Kitchen where we've visited in the past. As a disclaimer, I hiked the Inka Trail a number of years ago and indulged at a number of Peruvian restaurants, thus had an idea of what to expect . We were immediately and courteously seated and provided with menus and a beverage selection. The waitress was most pleasant and efficient, and other waitresses would pick up our plates when empty, even though they were not our servers. The menu and table settings are unique and distinctive, and importantly, the bathroom was very clean which is a vital indicator to me of the hygienic priorities of the management. Most importantly, the food was delicious with portions more than adequate. The price is reasonable considering that national fast food chains have poor quality food at prices that are not cheap. In summary, try out Inka Kitchen for a distinct treat. I'll bet you'll want to return. I know I will!

    Absolutely LOVED this place on previous visits - was aghast upon arriving at the former Lincoln Way location & finding them not there - thankfully the Interwebs came to the rescue & not only was Inka Kitchen still thriving but we now knew how to find them ;) Upon arrival, we were seated immediately and greeted by the familiar fabric-encased menus...woohoo! There are a fair amount of items to choose from - we chose Papa Rellena, Papa a la Huancaina, & Lomo a lo Pobre. Everything was fantastic! Well-prepared & loaded with flavor! The fact that we arrived about an hour before closing & the restaurant was probably 70% occupied says a lot - especially not being in the 'big city'! Staff was great, food was great - definitely give it a try!

    The Chicken was undercooked. This place is cheap with condiments. Small thing of ketchup and a all thing of hot sauce which we were charged for.  Not coming back!

    Inka is so close to our house and we have been going there for a few years now and if I could give it 6 stars I would. The service there is fantastic and the waitresses are very personable. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. The food is very fresh and the salads are fantastic. My favorite is the Chicken marsala which is great. If you are in chambersburg looking for a great place to eat this would be it!

    Getting Straight to the Point: - 7:35 pm: Placed a pick up order. Was told it would be ready in 20-25 minutes - 7:50 pm: Arrived. Waited. Waited. Waited... - 8:12 pm I watched as the cook STARTED my order. - 8:26 walked out with my food. Was not given an apology UNTIL I complained...Was told sorry, but it was more of a shrug of the shoulders. - I arrive home to eat my food...my sausage was burned and everything did not taste very well. Stay away from El Dominicano. Extremely disappointing. I wanted to order the chicken, but they told me they ran out...Which I'll explain more down below... Now the lengthy part: Inka Kitchen has moved to their new location and they are having a LOT of problems. I suggest giving them about 2-3 weeks to settle in and work out the kinks. They just opened on May 9th so check back in with them on May 23rd. When I went in, it was not "slammed" or "crazy busy" as they made it out to be on the phone. What did I witness? I saw servers, who weren't sure of what they were doing, scrambling and panicking. I watched as multiple customers complained about a problem in the women's bathroom. I watched the cooks in the kitchen scramble around trying to get food out on the tables. I saw a lot of lack of experience. WHICH is shocking to me since Inka Kitchen has been operating for years, right? I think whatever system they had in place before is not working here on Wayne Avenue. I used to work in a restaurant as a server. We would get SLAMMED. I mean, every table filled, to go orders, AND a line around the block. What I witnessed was not slammed. There were still empty tables and a lot of disgruntled customers because the food was taking long. Suggestions: -Kitchen Line: Change the set up in the kitchen. The kitchen has to work like a well oiled machine. You can't have people scrambling, running into each other in the kitchen. Get the cooks to their stations and have it work like a factory line. Servers should only be going to one area to get food, not looking around the kitchen to check on dishes. I watched as servers were opening up to go orders trying to figure out who's order was what. From where I was standing, it looked like chaos IN the kitchen. -Servers: Get experienced servers who know the menu. Servers who won't tell the customers straight out they don't know what something is or the fact they are new to the restaurant. The servers MUST know the menu. MUST know what the dishes are and should be able to make recommendations. When I called to place an order, I originally wanted a whole chicken with sides. The girl explained they ran out of whole chicken. What she should have suggested was "We ran out of whole chicken, but we still have 1/2 chickens left". THAT would have been better. Again - overwhelmed inexperienced servers. I watched as they made people wait for tables, yet there were 3 tables together that could have been separated. -Check Out System: Maybe add another iPad in order to complete transactions. People were waiting at tables for their checks, servers were scrambling, then people started coming up to the front in order to pay to leave, but then were told their check would be brought to them. Again, very unorganized. -Apologizing: I waited almost an hour for my food when I was told 20-25 minutes. Where I used to work, if something like that happened, we'd give out a slice of flan or some dessert to apologize and ensure customers will continue to come back. To not even get an apology until I complained was not good business. In conclusion (lol), I do think Inka Kitchen has good food (stay the F away from El Dominicano). I think right now they are struggling and maybe should have opened a little later. This is already an established restaurant that happened to make a lot of rookie mistakes. Hopefully they can figure it out and not deter too many people away in the process. IF NOT, well then walk next door to INDIA CAFE. They have some bomb ass food with excellent customer service!! Never had Indian food? Well check out my yelp review on India Cafe! I provide "safe" dishes that you cannot go wrong with!

    Appetizer, Canoas. What a delicious complex flavor profile!!!!.

    Food is delicious! Portions are huge!!! The waitress was so helpful with great recommendations. It's a great place to take a group and split the dishes so you can try more!

Several months ago, a friend, ("L", if you happen to read this :-), treated a bunch of us to some super-fresh super-tasty ceviche Peruano, and I lost the info. Yesterday, hoping for a quiet lunch, we found Pipilinka Peruvian Charbroiled Chicken, and the moment we saw the authentic home-made foods on the menu, we knew this was the place! There's plenty of parking, and we walked across a patio with benches and tables shared among several restaurants, also used for occasional live music. Pipilinka is a cute colorful storefront towards the west end of the patio, with some specials on a sandwich board out front. Inside it's cozy and cute, brightly decorated with Peruvian art and crafts. It's family-run, and the owner helped several groups who arrived at the same time, 1:40pm on a Saturday (Nov 2025), sort out among the 25 or so indoor seats. Several could sit out front, on a nice day. The weather was a bit cool, and we loved sitting indoors near the little space-heater in the front area. The friendly owner helped us with several questions about the offerings, and we started with a $4.50 bean and cheese Salvadoran pupusa. The farina corn dough was hot, pan-fried to a slight sear on one side, filled with flavor, and came with a small cup of simple tangy fermented cabbage slaw, curtido. The side of clear golden-red tomato non-spicy flavorful salsa-rojo was perfect over the pupusa. They have two or three stand up coolers of canned and bottled beverages, many from Peru and Latin America, and also several that they make themselves. We had a bottled unsweetened lime sparkling-water, Topo Chico, and traditional home-made purple-corn drink, chicha morada, sweet, slightly-fruity, with a hint of clove or cinnamon. Both were very refreshing. As you might guess, the $12 broiled dark-meat quarter-chicken with two sides was our first choice, with Peruvian rice and a small fresh avocado salad. The chicken was just as we wanted it, falling-off-the-bone tender, moist, marinated and gently seasoned throughout, with crispy skin. It was nicely presented on a large pretty plate as a meal, much nicer than fast-food. The generous serving of Chaufa rice is a traditional Chinese-Peruvian recipe of wok-fried rice with shredded chicken, egg, and very-finely chopped veggies, such as bell peppers and scallions. The Inka salad is of fresh lettuce, thin-sliced ripe avocado and tomato and pink pickled onion slices. We chose a small cup of the tangy only-slightly-spicy yellow-color sauce, an Aji Pollero Amarillo, rather than the verde green sauce that the owner said would be spicier. Perfectly cooked and delicious. We also had $18 pan-fried Pescado a la Sarten, sweet white fish, lightly coated and fried, with some of the crunchy tangy picked onions. We added a side of yucca, lightly fried and lightly salted, and as tender as yucca can get :-), more textured than french fries. We used some of that slightly-spicy amarillo salsa as a very complimentary dip. We added steak fries, not an adventurous choice, and they were also lightly fried and lightly salted, and pillowy soft inside. That fish was especially nice, so tender and light and flavorful. We finished with a box of five daisy-shaped home-made Peruvian Alfajores pastries, a pair of thin delicate melt-in-your mouth shortbread-like cookies with a thin layer of purple Peruvian dulce-de-leche sweet jam between. Heavenly! The staff compete to heat the condensed milk just hot enough just long enough for the perfect pastry. The owner tells us that it's all about the timing. Today's recipe has our vote! Somehow, so satisfied from such a delicious meal, we managed to save a couple to take home :-) This is a lovely gentle cozy family-run place to enjoy delicious homemade traditional Peruvian and Salvadoran foods.
