Awesome! Do yourself a favor and eat here! Ceviche--Best I've had (Sorry Jose Andres, Inka Fusion has more flavor than your more expensive dishes at Chile Chilcano). The Chiccharon is amazing. A great choice for the experienced Peruvian restaurant goer, as well as someone new to this cuisine. The short ribs are melt in your mouth, decadent deliciousness. The quinoa salad is an unexpected delight and the fried rice will change everything you thought you knew about fried rice. The servers and owner are friendly and welcoming. Inka Fusion is a great addition to Pikesville and COMPLETELY worth the drive for those of you outside of the area. Enjoy!

Everything stated open but when we got here it was closed and other people were trying to get in as well. No signs or explanations as to why. This was on Saturday, Aug 5th 2017 at 1:20 pm.

This is a great place if you like Peruvian food. The alcoholic drink made of passion fruit and egg white was amazing and tasted very fresh. Very friendly staff and overall very nice place.

My husband and I went here last Friday night and we loved it! The ambience was perfect for a Friday night. Not too busy and service was great. They first give you some fried plaintains with some amazing sauce. We all got the ceviche de Mercado, grilled octopus, arroz con mariscos (smaller version of their paella), and the lamb chops with brussel sprouts and black beans. My favorite was the grilled octopus. It was cooked perfectly! Lamb chops were delicious too and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Would definitely come back.

This restaurant comes with friendly and attentive service, delicious and abundant dishes, refreshing and enticing cocktails, and an inviting decor. We shared the Arroz con Mariscos (Seafood rice) and a Ceviche (classic one - 1st on the menu). EVERYTHING was delicious. I have to highlight that it was Friday night at 9:30pm and they close at 11, but no one was rushed, and the service remained absolutely excellent the entire evening. I would highly recommend the drinks too! We had the lychee drink and the pisco sour. While I may understand the pisco sour with the eggs whites is not for everyone, it was truly delicious and had angostura bitters. The lychee drink was sweet and tasty too! The music was fun Latin music. You really felt like you went out for a dinner experience and not just to get food. Not to mention the speed of service was on point. Overall, I will be back and I highly recommend this restaurant to go with family, friends, a date or even alone! They have a bar area where you will be treated as if you were never alone. Go visit!

I usually call in my orders and carry out so I don't usually sit down to eat. Sometimes I'll have a drink if I get there before my food is ready or if I don't call ahead. It's always empty when I go in, so service is quick. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. For the price, the portions are a little small but the food is very good! I regularly order from here and it's always good! I give four stars because my regular meals average about $20 and it isn't a whole lot of food for $20.

Very interesting restaurant w fantastic customer service demonstrated by Enrique and Alicia. The décor is very different from previous restauraunt (Mari Luna) and very attractive. Enrique greeted me as soon as I crossed the threshold. I chose to sit at the bar where I was greeted by Alicia. I looked at the menu earlier that day so I already knew what entrée and sides I wanted but I viewed the menu for kicks. I ordered the Lamb Chops (well done) w Fried Plantains and Brussels Sprouts. While viewing the menu, Alicia offered to make me a beverage. Since I was sitting at the bar, I asked her if there were any specials and was told HH is not currently in effect but she would ask her manager. I thought that was kind of her and apparently, I was sitting 4 seats over from her manger when she went to him w a beverage menu and asked. After 2 long minutes and several views over at me he said ... NO! I was a little shocked and thought it was a poor decision because it was obvious it could and has been done in the past and it was 9pm at night so I would have only gotten 1 drink. I am a full time employee and cannot get wasted on a Sunday night... not even for a discount! Anyway, shortly after my food was brought from the kitchen and I immediately thought to myself... What drink??? Haha I received 5 of the most beautiful lollipop lamb chops, Brussels sprouts and plantains that were perfectly plated and almost looked too good to eat! The plantains were crisp edged just the way I like them and oooo the Brussels! Just wait to you see the pics!!! I started w the Brussels and Plantains before making my way over to the main event and .... it was the perfect strip of pink... for some one who likes med well. I requested well so I sent the chops back and went to town on the sides. A short wait later my lamb chops returned perfect! Oh, I neglected to mention this yummy colorful sauce used on the lamb chops that added a mouth party of Peruvian flavor. 10 minutes later, the manger (Mr. No HH Special Guy) came over to provide surprisingly fantastic customer service. He inquired about my food and interest in restaurant and thanked me for coming. That definitely left a great impression and has me looking forward to returning w company. Before leaving I inquired to Alicia about brunch and I am looking forward to attending their brunch within the next 30 days to update this review w fantastically delicious pics.... & Drinks!!! Haha

Best thing in PIKESVILLE!!!! Food amazing! Service spectacular! Atmosphere is sooooooooo cool! Owner is very hands on and I love it! Eat! Drink! Meet here! The brunch is AHHHHHAZING!

When I think of South American food I automatically think of Peruvian chicken. The inka grill serves that up well & it's delicious but the ceviche & paella are too DIE FOR! They don't skimp on the calamari & octopus! So it's heaven if u like me are a lover of tentacles! I'm a seafood lover in general so I'm always exited by REALLY good ocean faire! The scallop appetizer was amazing! The scallops were fresh & neither over or undercooked! I should also say that I love beef and steak in particular. The ribeye was cooked to perfection! Also delicious were plantains! They were just the right amount of chewy with caramelized sweet crispy tips. If you're wondering why I ate so much it's bc I went there THREE times in one week! Definitely recommend!

Decided to try this place and over all had a good meal. When we sat down we were given plantain chips and a sauce to dip them in. I had a steak which came with two sides. The Brussels sprouts had a lot of flavor and I really enjoyed those. The white rice was just your typical white rice and I didn't taste any added flavor. The steak was ok not the best I've had but overall an average steak. I ordered it medium but wish I had gotten it medium rare since it had no pink in it so it seemed well done. The staff was friendly the place looks very much like it had with true previous owners. Once it hit 10pm the light got low and there were different color lights. The menu wasn't huge but I felt there was enough options for even the pickiest of eaters. Will definitely try this place again.
Went here on a Wednesday night and it was fairly empty so we got seated right away. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I ordered one of their specialty drinks which was refreshing and delicious. We got a quinoa salad as an appetizer which was weird and lacked flavor. Then we got the paella, which looked beautiful but was a HUGE disappointment. Each piece of seafood was mushier than the last, and a good portion of it was inedible. Really surprising in the Baltimore area. Despite the great service I would not recommend this restaurant to a friend.

Love the atmosphere of this place. Interior is nicely decorated. I've had to come back for several meals here due to how superb the food is! Staff is very friendly and attentive. Good for larger parties.

Just stopped in for there happy hour. Appetizers and drink on point, service extraordinary. Hard to find a good authentic ceviche, we always loved the one made by Mari Luna and they've kept it to that standard. Highly recommended..........

I've been for dinner once and for brunch once. I'm not sure why Downtown Pikesville doesn't do well with restaurants as this place, like Mari Luna before it, was very tasty. The location is fabulous and the restaurant is clean and inviting. There is plenty of service staff and they are very helpful. The only issue is that there aren't a lot of customers... which I don't understand as the restaurants in the Quarry are packed and this place is just as delicious and is a much better value for your money! Review for Dinner: GET THE SANGRIA! Popovers were great as usual. Our meals were very tasty and a great value. I got Lamb Chops and they were cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely. I can't remember what my husband got but he was also very pleased with his food. Review for Brunch: So, I didn't even realize that were doing brunch until I drove by a few weeks ago. We LOVED the old Mari Luna brunch and had high hopes for this as we were told it's very similar... and it was pretty close. The cold items were fresh and delicious. I can't complain except to note that while I LOVED the civiche it was probably a bit spicy for the general Pikesville public. Otherwise all the salads, bagels, shrimp, etc were yummy. Omelet station had tons of ingredients and of course they had waffles (the guy running both could be trained better but give him time... waffles weren't crispy enough). As for the other brunch fair is was decent. Bacon was crisp and tasty. When we were there (arrived at 11:30 and brunch started at 10) they didn't have eggs benedict and it wasn't put out until we were ready to leave which made me sad as it's one of my favorite. The other dishes were good and there was a large variety. They kept the sliced beef and the pork on the spit which WAS my favorite and is still delicious. Paella was tasty, salmon was good, ribs were okay as was the seafood pasta dish. I thought the Peruvian Chicken lacked flavor but that might be just me. They had chicken wings but my son really missed the coconut chicken tenders as those were his favorite. I know it's not Mari Luna but as the old owners were there helping out I hope they can make some tweaks. My only real concern was that we were literally the only patrons... which makes no sense since it's very delish. Honestly, the food was really good and I would certainly go back and give it another try for both dinner and brunch hoping that there were more people to give it a better ambiance.
