Chakana in Birmingham

Segunda visita a Chakana e igual de buena que la primera! El servicio y el personal son excelentes. La comida es genial. Compartimos una serie de entrantes y bocadillos, lo más destacado es el entrante de cangrejo, que es una de las mejores cosas que he probado. El ssteak tartar también fue excepcional. Los principales de cochinillo y también la merluza eran deliciosos. La comida es tan colorida y tentadora, pero también maravillosamente sabrosa. Sin duda volvería y lo recomendaría a todo el mundo.

Had a fantastic birthday dinner here, the tasting menu is amazing. The staff were wonderful and it was a pleasure to chat to them. I cannot recommend Chakana highly enough!

We had a wonderful anniversary meal, the food and service were perfect.

Food was unreal. Service some of the best I’ve had at a restaurant before. Great cocktail menu as well!

Amazing food, staff and atmosphere

Over recent years Chakana have really upped their veggie game. We've previously done the vegetarian tasting menu which was delightful but went back this evening and opted for the main menu. Andean potato stew and miso aubergine were delicious and the bread and tiger milk dip combo was EXQUISITE. Rosanna was an incredible host, full of smiles, advice and friendliness. A different spin on warming dishes. Recommend.

I couldn’t recommend Chakana highly enough; it’s possibly the best restaurant in Moseley! The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is absolutely divine, and the presentation is always so captivating. If you’re looking for the best ceviche in town, this is the place to go. But it doesn’t stop there. Every dish on the menu is thoughtfully designed, expertly prepared, and from the very first bite, you can tell the food is exceptional. We came here on our first date two years ago, and we’ve kept coming back ever since. Whether it’s for a special birthday celebration or a casual meal, Chakana never fails to impress. This place has truly become our happy place; from the moment you’re greeted to the moment you leave, you know you’ll be well looked after, both in terms of the service and the food.

The food is absolutely amazing!! I cannot recommend Chakana enough, I have been around 6 times or more now. Always fantastic, every time, and the menu is so interesting and it changes too!

Had a bit of a nightmare meal during an incredibly busy NYE service. We had a 9.15 booking but it seemed like they were running behind. The front of house staff (all very kind and polite) told us that there would be a bit of a wait for our table so asked us to sit by the bar, which was fine, we assumed this would be 5/10 minutes. We didn't end up getting seated until around 10.30. We initially tried not to kick up a fuss as we had pushed back our initial reservation from 8.00 to 9.15. However in that hour and 15 minutes we received no update from staff, nor an apology regarding the wait. We had to chase a member of staff down to ask why the wait was so long, we were told that people had finished their meals and they were waiting on them to leave. Now I appreciate no restaurant wants to ask customers to leave, but during a busy NYE service, where other customers are now waiting upto 90 minutes for their tables I felt it would have been appropriate. It was incredibly frustrating watching people laughing and chatting over wine for 30+ minutes once they had received their bills, whilst we were starving and growing increasingly impatient. No drinks, or nibbles were offered to us in this time. I would have expected a free drink as an absolute minimum for a 75 minute wait. It got to about 10.30 and eventually we tried to call over another member of staff as we were ready to leave but then got told, "oh your table has been ready for ages!". We were a bit taken aback by this, and by that point were happy to order a domino's pizza and just go home as it was clear we had either been dumped at the bar and forgotten about, or the waiter was just trying to save face. But we were directed to an empty table at the back of the restaurant. We received no apology for the wait, no offer of a drink. Absolutely nothing. It was clear wait staff were rushed off their feet and to their credit they were all very polite, but for the price paid (final bill came to £250 for 2 people) it really put a sour taste in our mouths. Unfortunately, it doesn't end there. It was nearly 11 by the time our first course came out, and the restaurant was beginning to empty which really killed the atmosphere. We were rushed through all the courses, and no had time to sit between them and let the food settle. Which resulted in us feeling very full and not being able to finish. We were still eating by the time the clock struck 12, in a now nearly empty restaurant. Completely derailing the night we had planned. A great start to 2025! In the end when the final bill came, they did take 2 drinks off, but quite frankly it was a bit of an insult. They also tried to charge us for 2 drinks we hadn't ordered. They didn't remove the service charge, but we paid that, as the wait staff are all teenagers and this wasn't their fault. However the manager that night should have been more switched on. To claim to be a fine dining establishment but letting (repeat might I add, we have visited a few times prior) customers have such a negative experience and not offer any apology, significant bill reduction or even an acknowledgement of the ridiculous wait time is a shame. I know the service is usually top notch here, and the food to their credit has always been amazing. But we won't be returning.

Tonight I went in with my family, A lovely girl called alice served us and carefully explained every dish so the a smile! The restaurant was very busy and she was constantly doing things for multiple tables but always managed to help us when we asked. Great Service, Food was amazing too (especially the pig) Will definitely be returning!

Had the opportunity to try their taster menu just before Christmas. The food was fantastic with great flavours and presentation, excellent portion sizes too. Services was also excellent with the waitress being very knowledgeable and the barman creating a lovely cocktail upon request. One of the best value for money taster menus I've had, highly recommend.

This restaurant is amazing. The food is so different and unusual it is a truly memorable experience. Lots of staff so you always feel welcome and looked after. The food is too delicious with fresh zingy limey flavours. And so beautiful to look at each dish is like a work of art. For starters we had tuna ceviche and duck and for mains the mullet and hake. Highly recommended and cannot wait to return when the menu changes. Thank you again!

Beautiful restaurant in an old bank with luxurious feel. Great attention to detail and service from the whole team from the moment you step in the door. Amazing cocktails that are reasonable price for the creativity and quality. Great dishes with lots of flavour, colour and textures. Hope to be back for the tasting menu!

Fantastic restaurant with really good food! So many interesting flavours and the presentation of each dish was stunning. We had the tuna and hot crab for starters and the suckling pig and octopus for mains. Service was also great, really lovely atmosphere hope to return again soon!

Chakana era cálido y acogedor, con un ambiente agradable, fácil de llevar. El servicio era amable. Todo esto es importante a la hora de comer fuera, pero también lo es la comida y lamentablemente esto fue decepcionante, con títulos engañosos. Evitando los entrantes que mencionaban que tenían chile, el 'ceviche de besugo' en realidad resultó tener chile que luego tristemente dominaba cualquier sabor del pescado, etc. Para la comida principal, el ‘Guiso de hongos’, no era un guiso en absoluto. Eran solo unas rodajas de verduras alrededor de una pasta de hongos (en la foto), y no muy caliente. Bastante agobiante, deslucido y muy caro para lo que era. Del mismo modo, el postre de ‘Doughnuts’ no eran las rosquillas esperadas – era una masa frita, cubierta con un glaseado dulce – no ‘masa’ y no llena de nada. No estoy seguro de dónde estaba el queso de cabra.

Qué experiencia tan increíble en Chakana por el cumpleaños 70 de mi papá. Tuvimos el peculiar comedor privado en la bóveda del antiguo banco, y el personal no podría haber hecho más por nosotros. La comida es excepcional, el servicio impecable y fue una ocasión realmente memorable. ¡Gracias! x

Probé este lugar una vez antes cuando abrió por primera vez, pero no estaba demasiado impresionado en ese momento, así que pensé en darle otra oportunidad. 3 en nuestra fiesta y todos comenzamos con el vuelo cachaca a £ 15. Nuestro servidor llegó con un vuelo muy bien presentado de 5 copas y explicó las diferentes bebidas. Nuestro personal de camareros era muy amable y servicial en la explicación de los elementos del menú y el restaurante era cálido, acogedor y animado con una animada mezcla de comensales. Todos teníamos un entrante a base de mariscos - el punto destacado fue la sopa de mariscos de mi amigo servido en una concha de cangrejo. Mi ceviche de besugo era bonito, nada espectacular y bastante pequeño. El tiradito fue agradable. Un pulpo estofado para la red eléctrica que fue bien recibido; una amzonia de merluza que fue decepcionante - no mucho sabor y solo 3 o 4 rodajas muy pequeñas. Todo presentado de una manera colorida con remolinos de puré de verduras y patatas, pero no una gran dela de sabor por desgracia. Todas las tuberías eran tibias. Envié la mía de vuelta, pero realmente solo recalentaron el plato y no la comida. Supongo que es demasiado delicado para calentar la comida. Una vez más, los servidores eran amigables e intentaron resolver el problema de forma rápida y eficiente. Nos sorprendió gratamente encontrar una reducción en la cuenta cuando vinimos a pagar - que dejaron el costo del vuelo de cachaca sin tanto como una palabra, pero habría sido mejor si la comida hubiera estado caliente en primer lugar. El servicio es rápido sin prisas y el personal es amable y encantado de ayudar. Les agradecimos por su consideración con respecto al proyecto de ley, pero tristemente no me apresuraré a regresar.

It’s been 3 years since my last visit to Chakana. It’s even better!! I loved the sea bream ceviche and the crab causa, so authentic, just like the ones I had in lima! I loved the pork dish so much!! Erika’s service was so warm, she is so sweet! Will definitely come back for more pisco sour! This restaurant is so authentic if you wanna experience some finest Latin American cuisine!

Wanted to update my review after having been back multiple times now - everyone is always so helpful and tonight they made croquettes specially for me with plantain because of my various food issues. Thank you so much! 22/11/2024 Love this restaurant. Great for gluten-free and super good with other intolerances. It’s rare to get exciting food that tastes like nothing you’ve ever eaten before and that looks like a picture - esp. if there is stuff you cannot eat. Expect a lot of corn and shapes and colours you’ve never seen before.

Fuimos esta noche a Chakana y tuvimos su menú de Navidad. Encontramos el ambiente relajante. No era tan ruidoso que no pudieras hablar. La comida era increíble. Suficiente para comer. El ceviche de salmón y la mousse de chocolate negro fueron mis comidas más destacadas. También el maíz morado principal. No podíamos fallar nada. Nuestro servidor era increíble. La cantidad justa de atención.

The tasting menu was spectacular, accompanied by a pisco flight and a bottle of Peruvian white wine. Each course was a delight, so many of them new flavours to us. Any "foodie" should visit this restaurant and we'll definitely return.

Muy distinto y fascinante - de alta calidad para todos nuestros entrantes y principales que van desde el besugo y el atún (inundado de sabores) y un encantador plato de cangrejo especiado a la deliciosa red - servicio muy amable explicando los platos y vinos de buena relación calidad - - una buena comida y nos vemos la próxima vez

Incredible experience with excellent food. The service was also top notch!

Amazing! Period. This place is still on top if it’s game, if not better, while so many others are falling off in terms of quality and service. The manager Mr. Owen did a great job of maintaining the bar high and ensuring an impeccable experience from start to finish. Treat yourself and your family, go eat there!

Lovely unique restaurant with great food and service. Thank you to all the staff for an enjoyable evening.

An excellent restaurant in Moseley offering delicious, Peruvian food and very warm service. Well recommended.

I don't review restaurants too often. They is the 2nd place that I loved. First in the UK 😊 Peruvian food is amazing! Their entire menu caters for gluten free requirements which is amazing. But the best part is that all the food options are flavoursome.

I would give this 4.5 stars. The service was impeccable. The drinks (between us we had cocktails, wine, juice, desert wine, amaretto) were all 5/5. The food was mostly very good - especially the chicken dishes and the salmon ceviche. The pork main was lacking in flavour and the tiramisu was served warm which was a little odd and left the table regretful about ordering it. We would go back again, but would avoid certain dishes.

Great for special occasions with authentic recipes.

Dined at this venue yesterday and what an experience. Fine dining ,amazing food , friendly and attentive staff if you want a 10 out of 10 experience I can't recommend this establishment enough. Fantastic .

A wonderful and unique experience showcasing the best of what Peruvian food has to offer

What a fantastic experience! The food was just delicious, beautifully presented and with excellent service (our waitress took time to explain the menu, the food came quickly) in a lovely atmosphere. We’ll be back!

Excellent experience, never had Peruvian food but the portions were generous, the food was cooked by a Michelin starred chef and you could tell. Prices are reasonable and we had a lovely server called Erica who was outstanding in explaining the service and food to us newbies. Would definitely come back if in the area.

Went back to Chakana today - a year after our first visit. Nothing has changed its still.... Exquisite food. Stylish surroundings. Delightful staff. This place is really worth it! Give all your senses a treat... amazing. (This enthusiasm for a restaurant is EXTREMELY unusual for me. This place is exceptional).

Amazing food, always happy to cone back for special occasions 😇

I did the tasting menu and my wife had the vegetarian tasting menu and every dish was excellent both in taste and presentation. Good choice of wines and drink - - we went with the wine recommendation and it was an excellent choice. Service was excellent being both informative but retaining a relaxed vibe. I have hesitation in recommending this restaurant and I will be revisiting

Exceptional find on open table The food,drinks, staff, energy, all 5* Every dish is amazing We tried all the snacks Highly recommend the hot crab causa and suckling pig

First time eating Peruvian food and one of the best restaurants I have been to. Highly recommend all the sides to start

Excellent restaurant! Has won handful of awards and the chef is michelin starred, which increased our expectations.Amazingly met, the beef and chicken was tender, sea bream ceviche was so fresh, and the crab starter was so creamy! The quality of the ingredients were phenomenal, portions are generous too!! Even the starter ceviche I had a lot of the fish 😹 Erica is excellent in her service, we had a brief chat and she originally hails from Mexico. She was very knowledgeable about the dishes & was so friendly! Thank you!

Faultless, Faultless, Faultless, Faultless, Faultless, Faultless. That's my review of the tasting menu. And as for everything else i.e atmosphere, service... Faultless. Me and a friend enjoyed absolutely every second and every mouthful of our visit there. Overall, the food is of Michelin star quality and I would say trumps some of the Michelin experiences I have had so far in Birmingham and beyond. Exciting, unusual and yet familiar, creative yet also simple. Just sheer elegant perfection. I cannot wait to come back. My friend I came with cannot wait to come back either.

Staff were brilliant, very friendly, very polite and professional. Food is amazing, vegetarian options were so good. This is our new favourite place. Suckling pig was amazing.

Bit disappointing. We had the tasting menu that provided a lot of variety but had very small portions and some dishes a bit hit and miss. Sea bream ceviche was good. Crab and suckling pig not so much.

Can't wait to come back Wow! A masterclass in restaurant Its not cheap but also not expensive.The food, service and atmosphere all delivered with a personal touch. Unique flavours from start to finish. enjoy a delicious meal from lovely people. The chef was so modest to come to our table ☺️

Had a great time trying Chakana's vege tasting menu. Well fed and well looked after. Obviously this place is all about the fish, but they cater well for veggies and vegans too.

The reviews here had been very good and I have heard lots of good things. I went with a vegetarian so it was a good opportunity to try both the veggie tasting menu and the non veg tasting menu. The vegetarian menu seemed to lack variety, there were a couple dishes that had the exact same sauces etc but just a different vegetable. One of the dishes was very vinegary and unfortunately this was the dish that was duplicated. Upon asking a staff member if it was the same dish with just a different vegetable they confirmed. The non veg menu was ok, their was one or two nice dishes howver for a tasting menu and the price that is paid its not something I would say was a stand out tasting menu experience. In general the staff were very friendly. There was one issue where we had one lady who was serving us throughout the night and was aware there was one veggie and one non veg. For one dish another lady took over and served non veg to the vegetarian which luckily was spotted by us. The lady who served this was not apologetic and just took the dish away and brought the vegetarian one.

This was our fourth visit to Chakana, the first being shortly after it opened, and we have been for a couple of special occasions over the last few years. Unfortunately, this was the least impressive experience we've had. While the food was generally fine it didn’t feel like it justified the price tag this time. The scallop ‘snack’ was probably the tastiest item, but even that was disappointing as the description said ‘scallops’ but you only got one, so we cut it in half. The artichoke and dragon fruit starters were both aesthetically pleasing and tasted good, but not incredible. The carrot main dish was the major disappointment of our evening. It felt both poorly designed and poorly executed, and whilst I am familiar with the concept of a ‘saltado’ (stir-fry) I don’t think that presenting someone with a bowl of over-charred onions and carrots should pass as a £22 vegetarian main dish. The potato stew main, whilst pleasant, was also a little underwhelming, with the whole thing tasting a bit like a pub-lunch cauliflower cheese. The colours and presentation here are stunning, but it shouldn’t be a case of style over substance. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly, and the cocktails were delicious. They brought over a beautifully decorated free ball of ice cream with ‘congratulations’ on the plate, as we had told them we were celebrating a new job (and they had seen our disappointment at the mains.) Overall, while there were some positives, the quality of the carrot main dish overshadowed our experience this time. It is a shame to see somewhere local that opened to rave reviews leave us feeling so lacklustre, and we hope that the feedback is taken on board.

Fantastic food and really friendly staff make Chakana a wonderful restaurant. It is expensive, but overall still worth it.

We both felt excited and treated by the labour of love that is the taster menu! Especially the fish dish with the roasted corn and pomegranate and the pork also the traditional Peruvian stew. Staff were attentive yet gave us time to enjoy these new flavour experiences. Turn up hungry to make the most!

July 2024 update-absolutely fab food with most artistic flair! Don't bother with the calamari or crab dish..just got for all the seafood starters and dulche de leche cake!!! We absolutely enjoyed our experience both food and service. The server was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I would definitely recommend the Tuna Ceviche,Tuna tartar, pork belly and beef sirloin and the lovely passion fruit pisco sour! One star down for the scallop dish as we found it lacking in taste and as the scallops were sliced so thin, it just didn't stand out as the star of the dish.

Main meals were lovely but dessert was too sweet we ordered a selection and they were all too sugary. We had a nice private space which was great, the atmosphere seems sophisticated and what you would expect with high end cuisine. Bathrooms are shared also.

We had the Sunday menu and it was fab. Em had the scallops and I had the crab to start and then we both had the Lomo. Fabulous food, service and tho fairly pricey, it was totally worth it.

Absolutely amazing food beautifully presented. Cocktails also to die for. Service excellent. We'll be back!! Thank you

Amazing food, amazing service!! Good quality product in very elegant dishes. The tasting menu was well designed, we learned lot of history about Peru as well from very knowledgeable waiter. We cannot fault anything. Definitely recommended it.

JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have visited before and once again it did not disappoint. We always go for the tasting menu (and pisco sour recommendations), to get a bit of everything Peruvian. Crab, Hake, Scallops, Potato stew and our favourite Sea Bream ceviche all beautifully presented and delicious! What also makes this restaurant a great place is the service and interactions with all the staff which make for a wonderful experience.

Delicious food, a delight for the eyes and the palate, colourful, tasty and all new for this diner; many thanks to Erika for her warmth, knowledge and encouragement - her recommendations were all spot on; a really enjoyable meal in a very laid back venue

A nice restaurant with a good atmosphere and a good drinks selection. Service was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the food didn't quite justify the price tag, and although certain dishes (the scallops and ceviche) were nice, the majority were sub-par and left me feeling a little underwhelmed given the hype. The pork was dry with vegetables essentially boiled and plain, and the potato dish was disappointing for £22.

The tasting menu was amazing, I tried foods that I had never tried before and was blown away.

We were seated in a private room for my friend’s birthday which was a nice experience as this wasn’t directly booked through the restaurant, the mains were great however the desserts were too sweet resulting in us not finishing these off. Our waitress was very kind, knowledgable and had pleasant mannerisms.

Best Peruvian restaurant I’ve tried in the UK. The flavours made me feel like home. And the people working there were the nicest!

Absolutely excellent, as with previous visits. Not been for a while so was great to try a new menu, with full stomachs and big smiles all round at the end of the meal. Pisco sour remains a firm favourite on the cocktail menu. Scallops, asparagus, sea-bream ceviche and hot crab for starters; piquillo peppers and potato stews for mains. Every plate was beautifully presented and delicious beyond words. Service 10/10. The best restaurant in Birmingham hands down, we had a wonderful evening, thank you.

Absolutely incredible food here! It's so colourful and the flavour combinations are exciting and tasty. I'm vegetarian and there were plenty of fantastic options to choose from. The cocktails are lovely too! And the service from the staff was fabulous, just the right level of attentiveness and care. We felt very welcome here, and we would definitely come back!

Great place worth heading out od the city to visit. Erika was a dream, a beautiful lady with great taste for food and tequelia. If she recommends something I would order it as I loved everything I had. Asparagus starter was lush and my Hake was beautifully cooked. Great staff and food what more do you want. Erika we need more people like you in the hospitality industry, thanks for making it a special day.

Absolutely fabulous meal, a party of five and we all had 3 courses, plus one of each of the nibbles as pre starters, plus cocktails, wine and coffee! Food was delicious and service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Gran experiencia en el restaurante Chakana, desde la atención al ingresar, información del taste menu y la comida muy agradable y en su punto. Los veganos también tenemos opción de comer delicioso la comida peruana. Lo recomiendo y regresaría.

Wanted to come for years and lived up to expectations. Pitch-perfect piscos, service and modern Peruvian cookin. Best I’ve had in the UK.

They had me at doughnuts. Fresh food with fantastic drinks!

We stopped casually for drinks and I was surprised by the ambience and the atmosphere of the place. We sitted at the bar and had a warm welcome .we had the pisco sours and the ceviche .I must say 10 out of 10 Definitely had a lovely experience.cant wait to come back! Love it !!

Absolutely love Chakana, have tried both the tasting menu and the a la carte menu and both do not disappoint. Highly recommend the sea bream ceviche, it’s incredible!

Very good food. I love the peruvian menu. Lovely mexican waitress. She explained every dish in detail and they treated us great

This is the second time we have come and we are not disappointed. Refined and delicious dishes, the servers are very pleasant and the atmosphere is great. I recommend booking on the weekend.

Booked 9course tasting menu. The sea bream ceviche, crab causa, scallops tiradito, andean potato stew, beef short rib pachamanca, and chocolate mousse were all great. Worth every penny

The food here is amazing and really good value for money considering the effort and attention to detail they clearly put into the dishes. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff were lovely. Had a great night with great food. Definately visiting again.

Third time at Chakana. It remains simply next-level dining with faultless service. You will be wowed by just how much zing the team can magic onto your - stunningly presented - plate. The colours alone are a feast for your eyes. The flavours do the rest. Unmissable.

Best ceviche I have ever had. All dishes were incredibly well made. Price was ok for a restaurant that has a Michelin star

Thank you for a lovely evening. Food amazing and service too; making my birthday special. could have selected every dish from menu. Definatley coming back. New favourite :-)

Really enjoyed our meal at Chakana. The food was certainly interesting, with some flavours / ingredients that i'd never tried before. If i had a small criticism, it would be that perhaps some of the dishes have too much going on. Standard of cooking is high as you'd expect from a Bib Gourmand restaurant and the service we had was excellent. If i had the option I'd rate it at 4.5 stars and it is somewhere we would happily return.

Oh how amazing! Real welcome and real authentic tasty food from Peru, delicately and lovingly produced by their amazing chefs. Erica carefully explained each dish and served us to the extensive taster menu (fish and veggie options) at this secretly located Michelin Star restaurant in Mosley just off the main Alcester Road. Beautiful food from Peru complimented by their own Peruvian cocktail similar to a Cosmopolitan but with more punch! Take a look at our photos...

This place is fantastic. Every dish presented flawlessly, flavours combined to perfection, having eaten many Peruvian meals in Lima and elsewhere, very authentic. Definitely had far too many courses but it was worth it!!

La comida es excelente, la atención sobresaliente definitivamente mi nuevo restaurante favorito, gracias Erika por hacernos sentir como en casa fue para mi una celebración de cumpleaños memorable

We are here on 7th March. The service was great, the staff are extremely welcoming. Everything we ate was great. the sea bream Ceviche was absolutely outstanding. Also recommend the beef fillet, the celeriac purée was like caramel. Incredible! Highly recommended!

One of the best restaurants I have been to. The food was amazing, the employees were so kind and the atmosphere so confortable. I highly recommend to go ! Just remember to book in advance :)

Fantastic food and fantastic service. The food was simply amazing. The service was attentive, quick and infromative. The pisco sour to die for and the dishes looked amazing and were just delicious.

Chakana is our favourite local restaurant for special occasions. The food is unique, soooo tasty and beautifully presented, and the service is friendly and relaxed but attentive. I would always recommend this place and feel very lucky to have it on the doorstep!

Every dish was delicious and so well balanced. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, as much as the cocktails. Julia was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some great recommendations. We’ll definitely go again and take our friends with next time!

Absolutely love this place from star to finish !!! The food beautiful presented .the service was very friendly….and the pisco sours 10 out 10 !!

Very good food and the ceviche the best

very good flavor. The combination of textures is perfect. my favorite dish was ceviche. Thank you very much Erika for your attention

Warm relaxed atmosphere with delicious food and excellent service. Fresh, original menu with a good range of options and fantastic cocktails.

Chakana is a gem. The staff are really friendly and fun to speak to. The menu is varied and as vegans- we felt very accommodated. Lots of delicious options! The food is colourful, interesting and very different. They don't rely on meat substitutes, instead they craft each plant based dish with care and attention to make the veggies shine! My wife really enjoyed the artichoke ceviche whilst I demolished the carrot saltadito and asparagus causa. We also really enjoyed the dragon fruit Tiradito! The drinks are prepared with as much love as the food. Their pisco sours can be made vegan- delicious. I had a nikkei time which was honestly amazing. Can't recommend Chakana enough!

Superb food and drink, cracking atmosphere and sterling service. 10/10. Compliments to the chef and staff for a wonderful restaurant.

Marvellous Peruvian food. Colourful and tasty - one of the best meals I've ever had.

Amazing food, one of our favourite restaurants in Birmingham! We’ve eaten Chakana food twice - once in the restaurant (my husband and I had the tasting menu) and the other time we had it as take away - we’ve just had a baby and they were so accommodating, so that we could bring the food home. None of the flavour was lost, it was as good as when we had it in the restaurant! Exceptional service. The ceviche was my personal favourite and my husband liked the suckling pig the most. We will be definitely coming back.

Amazing, loved everything. Food was delicious, my favourite was the sea bream ceviche. Relaxing atmosphere and the service was especially excellent, they are so friendly and make you feel at home. 10/10

We went for Sunday dinner as a family. We really enjoyed the experience! The service was was very good and the food was good as always. We enjoyed a very nice white wine served by the glass. Would definitely recommend.

An interesting - and very pretty - meal. Unusual ingedients (a lot if then purple), We enjoyed the food a lot, I particularly liked the octopus, but one of our group was not so impressed with the hot ceviche. Desserts were not, in my opinion, as good as the first 2 courses: if it says 'dulce du leche' as the heading then I think there should be more than a smear on the plate + it came with unannounced ice-creamthat I'm not fond of.

We've come here to celebrate a birthday and what a way to celebrate! Great food and drinks all the way from Peru. Definitely recommend it

I recently enjoyed a lovely evening at Chakana with my wife, we both went for the tasting menu. It was a great introduction to Peruvian cuisine, each dish was so balanced and packed with flavour. The presentation of each dish is amazing, colourful and exciting, it’s a real conversation starter. Serving staff explain the dishes which adds to the experience. We also enjoyed the wine suggestions, top notch.

The ceviche was really great but I had the full tasting menu and it fell a little flat compared to other tasting menus. I was so excited to try chakana and sadly it didn't live up to the hype or the standards of other Birmingham tasting menus. The service was also very slow in the middle and the atmosphere just felt like a normal restaurant, not bad just nothing special.

We've had a lovely time having some delicious dishes and excellent pisco sours
