La Molienda Cafe - New Haven

The place can look at little less than upscale inside.... looks really can be deceiving because the food is delicious and ample per plate!! I will definitely go there again. Just goes to show. Never judge a book by its cover

We just returned from La Molienda Cafe, and I can officially say it's my favorite restaurant in New Haven! The portion sizes were larger than at any other restaurant I've been to in the U.S. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. If I could, I would give them 100 stars!

The best Peruvian food I've ever had, bursting with flavors, spices, and aromas. It’s simply delicious. The prices are fantastic for the generous portions! The service is efficient and friendly. Keep in mind, it’s a restaurant/bar, so don’t expect anything upscale.

Generous portions, amazing flavors, and excellent service! The 'chicha morada,' a traditional Peruvian drink, is fantastic—sweet and non-alcoholic. We opted not to order any appetizers, and I’m glad we did because the main dishes were enormous! I had the 'Ceviche Mixto' (seafood salad) served with either tostones or yucca, and it was delicious. The 'Tallarin a la Ocaina with Beefsteak' (pasta in a Peruvian sauce) was rich in flavor, but the steak was quite tough, so I wouldn’t recommend it. Our kids enjoyed the 'Salchipapas' (sliced hotdogs with fries), which we ordered for them since there isn’t a kids’ menu. However, it turned out to be a huge portion—not at all what I expected for an appetizer! We’ll definitely be back!

This is the best Peruvian food I've ever had, full of wonderful aromas and perfectly seasoned with a hint of smokiness. It's absolutely delicious! The prices are excellent for the generous portions you receive. The service is good and quick. Keep in mind that it's a restaurant/bar, so don't expect a lively atmosphere.
