Llama House immediately caught my attention with its vibrant decor. The bright colors throughout the space and the artificial llamas at both the entrance and toward the back add a fun, memorable touch. The restaurant itself feels bright, open, and spacious, making it a great spot for everything from a casual meal to a larger gathering. I will say the prices were a little higher than what I'm used to paying for Peruvian food, but once the food arrived, it was hard to argue with the quality. The flavors were absolutely spot on fresh, authentic, and packed with taste. Between the unique atmosphere and the delicious food, this was a great experience. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning.

Llama House in Englewood is a great spot for authentic Peruvian flavors with a modern touch. The restaurant has a clean, stylish atmosphere that feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. We started with the three-color causa (traditional, pesto, and beet), each topped differently. The flavors were well balanced and thoughtfully put together. The mixed ceviche was fresh and bright, with a citrus note that really brought everything together. The choros a la chalaca were generous and nicely balanced between the flavor of the sea and acidity. I especially appreciated that they offer chifa cuisine (Peruvian-Chinese fusion), which you don't see everywhere in Bergen County. The tallarín chifa was well executed and full of flavor, and the tipakay added a great sweet and crispy contrast. Overall, a solid experience and definitely worth visiting if you enjoy Peruvian food in the area.

Beef Lomo Saltado

The food was so good! I had the lomo saltado. My fiance had the mixed chaufa. My MIL had pollo la brasa. we ate everything so fast, i only remembered to get a picture of mine! Our server was attentive and nice, and the restaurant itself was very clean and had cute decor! im gonna be thinking about this lomo til i can come here again. it was saucy and the portion size was perfect. The steak was tender, ALL of it! Usually when I get steak, i get nervous cuz a lot of places wont trim their steak accordingly, and pieces of fat and gristle get through to the final plate. not this one! I was able to enjoy eeeevery piece! I found myself saying "that lomo was so good" in anguish cuz i knew i wouldnt be able to find anything similarly tasty and quality where i normally live!!! will definitely come back given the chance!

We were a group of 4 who were very excited to come here. Our friends just moved to the area (from Queens) and were excited to check out the Latin American food scene in North Jersey. To be fair, we had pretty high expectations for this place before even setting foot inside. But we were constantly met with disappointment one after the other, starting with the service. Our server didn't really speak English (which is not a problem at all since most of my group speaks Spanish), but she seemed either inexperienced or new and undertrained because she hardly kept up with what was available/isn't on the menu and the food portions. For example, we asked about the size of the Jalea and having already ordered 2 large-portioned main dishes, she implied that one plate wouldn't be enough for all of us, so we ordered 2 at her suggestion. When the Jalea came, it was a massive portion and between the four of us, we had a hard time even getting through half of one plate. The batter felt overdone and we all wondered if the seafood mix was frozen. We kind of almost felt sick trying to finish our food rather than letting it go to waste. From the time we put this order in, to the time we finally got them, it honestly was close to an hour, which is pretty ridiculous. It was never even a thought to give us any salsa or dipping sauce until we asked. The food was overall very average. The other items we ordered were the Lomo Saltado (which was bland and the fries were hardly crispy) and the Leche de Tigre, which was probably the best item out of all the others. Something to keep in mind is that they don't have a liquor license, so there is no alcohol served, but I believe it is BYOB. None of us are big drinkers, so this had no impact on our experience. To add insult to injury, they automatically added the 18% gratuity before the total, which they taxed on top of, and had the audacity to keep the option of additional tips open. This was a tasteless business practice, on top of the subpar service that we barely got to begin with. This wasn't a great impression for our friends who are looking to find some Latin American staples around their new home, and this definitely won't be one of them.

I am so glad we had an impromptu lunch here! It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, we received attentive service, happy to discover it is BYOB, great music selection at a reasonable volume and most importantly the food was authentic and delicious! The decor is very cute and esthetically pleasing.

This place is probably one of the best Peruvian god spots I have had and its nice that its a few blocks away from me. The restaurant is very colorful and bright inside. It feels very welcoming and cheerful. I love all the llamas around the restaurant. Mboyfriend and I really enjoyed our meal here. The Chaufa and Lomo Saltado was delicious. Totally recommend. The service was good, except for the waiter forgetting our drink and I needed to remind him after a while, but otherwise I would return.

The Llama House A Must-Have Experience in Englewood! If you're anywhere near Englewood, NJ, The Llama House is an absolute must-have dining experience! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, vibrant, and welcoming. The décor gives you that authentic Peruvian vibe while still feeling modern and comfortable. The food? Incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The ceviche is unbelievably fresh, perfectly balanced with citrus and spice. The lomo saltado is cooked to perfection -- tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. You can truly taste the authenticity in every bite. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations if it's your first visit. Service is quick without ever feeling rushed, which makes the whole experience even better. If you love bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a spot that feels special every time you go, this is it. Englewood is lucky to have this gem. I'll definitely be back -- again and again! Five stars all the way!

I enjoyed the food at Llama House and the service was good too! The seafood rice, meat were both seasoned very well and flavorful. The ceviche and linguine al pesto stood out the most. The ceviche had a good balance of tangy and sweet. The fish also tasted fresh. The ambiance is interesting and colorful. The portion was good but the dishes were a bit overpriced I thought. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd give it a 4.2!

Lomo Saltado

Wonderful atmosphere with amazing Peruvian dishes. I had the Lomo Saltado. The meat was tender and delicious. The staff were helpful and very friendly. I'll be back soon.

Fried seafood platter.  Very fresh and tasty.

Went to this new spot, previously Akai, which is nicely decorated in traditional Peruvian art with nice fresh feel. Went with a friend who is Peruvian and he assured me the food is authentic and exactly what he was looking forward to. Staff was friendly and food was very good and fresh. Only drawback is there is no liquor license, so we couldn't enjoy a traditional Peruvian Pisco Sour, or any other booze. We will be back.

I've been here twice now, and had to get their roasted chicken both times because it was so good. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and served with green sauce. I chose chaufa and fries as my two sides, which were good. My husband had ceviche, which tasted fresh and he enjoyed. Will be back again when the Peruvian craving hits!

"The food is delicious!" Is all I heard while our company had our 30 employee appreciation lunch in at Llama house. The experience was perfect, food came out timely, and all the dishes were beautifully prepared. Most of the employees that live around the area have a new Peruvian spot to order from! Definitely recommended this restaurant to my fellow managers to book this place for a team lunch. Thank you again!

Jalea meal
Jazmin C.

Service and ambience were great but the food wasn't what I was expecting. It was decent food but definitely not the quality I expected from such a beautiful restaurant in this neighborhood full of spots. I think overall I couldn't tell if the seasoning was different than I was used to or if some of the ingredients were old. My yuca fries that were part of my jalea were dry and tasted off. Some of the tomatoes in my families lomo saltados tasted old as well and the meat tasted different too. I'm truly not sure if the recipes are flavored differently than I've tried at diff Peruvian restaurants or the food wasn't good. I will say my brother got the best meal, the peruvian chicken rice and beans meal was really yummy! My mom has been here a few times now and has the same feedback so I doubt we will be back. I felt terrible for not liking the food at all since the customer service and non-alcoholic drinks were amazing.

It's refreshing to find a steakhouse that serves food and drinks late on a Sunday night. The decor, vibes, and clientele are upscale. It's not uncommon for exotic cars to pull up at the valet station. We sat at the bar and were waited on by James who had a great personality and a flair for mixing cocktails. The "White Walker" is a long-standing cocktail on the Sofia menu, and it really hit the spot (Ketel One vodka, coconut cream, lychee, lemon and club soda). My wife tried the "Geisha's Lullaby" - a Japanese whisky cocktail with pistachio, lime, falernum and vanilla. This cocktail was outstanding! On the food side, I ordered Cacio E Pepe. I enjoyed it. Not creamy like the typical cacio e pepe, but the pasta was served over a delicious slice of beef carpaccio. I'd rate it a 4.5 of 5.0. To finish the evening, I enjoyed a pour of Redbreast 12 from Sofia's wall of spirits. Whiskey lovers will enjoy the options, including luxury pours. My wife tried a Peaches in Paris cocktail - white peach puree, vodka, lemon, St. Germain, and Peychaud's bitters. The Peychaud's bitters bullied this cocktail making it slightly unbalanced. Overall though, we loved the cocktail program.

Oh baby, they are large and in charge. Why I walked out with one box still boggles my mind because I should have bought 3. I'm not in the area too often and the extra boxes would have carried me through the winter. I hand over my cash and the gentleman says God Bless to me. I'm not getting blessings on Long Island! When I came home, my wife made the perfect Sunday dinner. Those raviolis came straight from the 70s. Simply perfect. God Bless us, everyone.

Typically not a big "restaurant at a hotel food guy" but the experience and food here we're both pretty good. There's a nice choice of seating if you prefer a bar experience or a sit down restaurant experience. We chose to sit down restaurant experience. Our waiter was very friendly and quite attentive. After mulling over the menu we were set for dinner. My colleague had the fillet mignon, medium rare with mushroom and Bolognese sauce. I got the rigatoni with eggplant. The dinner starts out with two rolls and butter. Be sure to ask for a choice of rolls as it appears, there are three or four different options to choose from. They were OK, not warm, a bit on the stale side. My colleague enjoyed the steak saying it was tender and filling. It was juicy and had a lot of flavor to it. The overall feedback was positive. My rigatoni was Al Dante, perfect! The red sauce was just right. Not too sweet nor too tangy. There was a fair amount of eggplant and balls of mozzarella cheese. I added Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the top. Every bit of my meal was eaten. Not all meals include a salad. The filet did include a salad. I had to get a side salad.

The menu isn't massive, but they cover every category with extreme precision and do it really well. Seafood, pasta, veal, chicken, and all the classic appetizers you can think of from stuffed artichokes, zucchini blossoms, and house-made burrata. The ambiance is old-school Italian in the best way: timeless, romantic, and cozy. It works just as well for an intimate date night as it does for a small group dinner. Bonus points for being BYOB. We ordered the veal marsala and the seafood pomodoro. The veal was pounded to perfection and swimming in a ridiculously addictive sauce. The seafood pasta was cooked perfectly and loaded with fresh shrimp, clams, and mussels and you can taste the quality and care put in the food. Meals are served with a salad to start, and you can expect to spend around $35 per entrée, which feels more than fair for the quality. We were genuinely impressed and were treated with a lot of attention throughout the meal. The concept of the restaurant being run by two italian twins was honestly so sweet. Highly recommend if you're looking for classic Italian done right without trekking into the city.
