About this restaurant

Charming
Lively
Neighborhood gem

Escape the chaos of city life and enter a social haven of comfort and warmth in the heart of Paddington, Central London. With rich, dark green walls, elaborate décor and plush banquette seating, Ayllu is a Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant serving contemporary sharing plates, sushi and innovative cocktails.

The cosy restaurant is built around the traditions of the Ayllu community of the Inca Empire. The Ayllu was a group of families that lived together, worked the land together and shared their belongings and mealtimes, just like a large family. Much like the Incan civilisation, Ayllu is about the coming together of friends and families and taking time to share an experience of great food and innovative cocktails with loved ones.

Drawing on the inspiration of the Ayllu community, the menu consists of innovative small plates, designed for the whole table to share. Traditional Peruvian flavours are paired with Japanese influences, bringing fresh and zesty aromas to each dish.

Had several sushi courses accompanied with some Peruvian dishes, this was all delivered with professional and fantastic service. Even if you don't like sushi, come here and enjoy the Sauth American cuisine, brilliant place.

The atmosphere was great, amazing decors, and the staff very polite and helpful with recommendations. Great quality sushi with unexpected twists of Sauth American dishes but also the desserts were really interesting as well. I would definitely recommend if you’re a sushi lover!

Seriously this must be one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been in and the location is unbelievable! The service is excellent and the ambience of the place is so good we didn't want to leave. Chiken karagee was brilliant and the salmon platter was the star of the evening. Must visit this place for sure!

I took my son on holiday to London for a week last week and we visited Ayllu, it was absolutely beautiful. The sushi itself was superb but the friendly welcoming staff made it just as superb. A big thank you to Azamat especially who was great with my son and took the time to interact with him.

We hope to welcome you both back next time you’re in London! Many thanks EM
