    a bowl of food and a glass of orange juice

    I had a wonderful dinner at Inkawasi. The food was delicious, the Ceviche and the Lomo Saltado the best! Pisco Sour so good! The service is very attentive and friendly and the ambience is great with Peruvian decor and I had the pleasure to go on a Friday night when they had a great Latin band playing.

    Ceviche Mixto - excelente!

    Pros: excellent food, ordered a whole snapper, seasoned well - just on the smaller side Lomo saltado- also very good!!! Definitely would come back!

    I've gone to this amazing Peruvian restaurant twice-for dinner and lunch. Both meals were top notch and reasonably priced. The decor is very stylish and colorful. Rueben was our waiter for both meals, and he was outstanding-very attentive, friendly, helpful, and efficient! I highly recommend this restaurant! The menu has something for everyone, even those who aren't familiar with Peruvian cuisine.

    I haven't been to Inkawasi Peruvian Restaurant in over five years since they were at their first location in Sarasota. Now they are in a stunning location in Lakewood Ranch. I'm so glad that we found them again on Main Street Lakewood Ranch. We had been to Main Street also years ago when it wasn't developed yet. Now there are a nice variety of restaurants and some shops too. Everything about this dinner was perfect from start to finish. We sat outside at night and it was refreshing and no mosquitos for once. I ordered the Octopus in Anticucho Sauce / Pulpo a la Parrilla which I love the char grilled flavor. I usually order octopus at Greek restaurants so this was a different take on it. I also ordered the Mango Cevichero which is a mango Ceviche with fish and shrimp. This is so refreshing. It's not big at all but paired with the octopus, I was quite happy. My husband ordered his favorite: Tallarines Verdes / Pesto Fettuccine w/ Lomo Saltado. It was also very tasty I love Peruvian food and it's definitely something I frequent wherever we go. This definitely is tops on my list for Peruvian restaurants and we would come back in a heartbeat!

    First time trying- we have seen this spot across from the patio at Grove and kept saying we need to try. Finally. Ordered delivery via Grubhub. Order came early. Appetizer- Empanadas / Turnovers Turnovers, stuffed with ground beef or chicken in Peruvian Yellow Pepper cream. Outstanding! Mains - Tallarines Verdes / Pesto Spaghetti Spaghetti in a creamy Peruvian pesto (Peruvian yellow pepper, basil, spinach, cheese). Added beefsteak for $5. Was so flavorful, steak was perfectly cooked. Arroz Chaufa / Fried Rice Fried rice dish fusing Peruvian and Chinese cuisines, including diced green onions, eggs, and meat. Cooked in a wok with sesame oil, soy & oyster sauce. Added chicken for $3. This rocked! We avoid fish for delivery but see the menu is loaded with seafood choices. Next stop a live dinner inside! Loved it all!

    This restaurant is located off the Main Street of the Lakewood Ranch. My friend was there and I decided to try their restaurant out. It has the stir fry choices of dishes. They do not have the lunch special. I order the the tallarin saltado. This is the Peruvian flamed noodle with a choice of protein. The choices include beef, seafood or combination of all. It cook with high btu wok. The high heat btu wok make the difference. It is really tasty. The beef is good premium beef. The noodle also good. I would recommend this dish. The service is good. I like the pre meal item while you waiting for your food.

    An excellent restaurant serving some of Peru's most iconic dishes. Fabulous fresh ceviche, savory lomo saltado, and even a nice chicha morada to wash it all down. Very friendly service felt like I was eating in their home, not their restaurant. Will be back.

    River Club Social Dinner held their July outing at Inkawasi. The atmosphere was clean and inviting. While sipping on glasses of sangria, everyone had a great time, in a relaxed setting. The food was new and exciting. Everyone was happy with their dinner choices. We'll be back.

    Good little unique spot in downtown Lakewood ranch. Super friendly servers and hostess. Little but on the pricier side but great portions and good more authentic style Peruvian. They give you crunchy corn too for an appetizer.

    See all

    Nice vibe, great food, great service. Good for a date spot, not a ton of TVs, music and ambiance allows for conversation.
