Great stuff for sharing !! Sea food is really good and I think it’s good value
An amazing meal, couldn’t fault the food or the staff. Will definitely be recommending to others!
Super cute place, nice staff. We only had a couple of snacks, but the courgette was insanely salty, was very hungry so ate it anyway, as the kitchen was closed already, the prawn toast was ok. Overall a very nice place, would come back to try some seafood, no to the salty courgette though...
Great food and ambience. Service could be improved
Great service, delicious food and a really cool atmosphere. So good to be back at one of our favourite restaurants
Fabulous tasting menu, really enjoyed our first dining experience post-COVID. The service was very average but the dishes arrived at a good pace. Props to the bartender for making us excellent mezcal margaritas and New York sours.
Unreal food, wonderful service, it was our waiters first day in the job and he was brilliant
Booked it for my bf's birthday as I love the sister restaurant Pachamama. I've mentioned in a booking that it's a birthday occasion and asked for some bday dessert (obviously ready to pay for). We arrived and staff was stressed, table wasn't ready. We sat at teh wrist table in the middle and under lots of plants. We were waiting for our order to be taken for over 10 minutes. Throughout the service east great at all. Obviously, they haven't done the bday dessert I asked for. which was not the biggest issue but they could've told me in advance that it's not realistic.
Food came fast and was decent, however overall value is quite poor for. Neat £90 we paid.
Such a shame as Pachamama is a brilliant place!
We are always happy with our visit to a chicama. Delicious food in a great ambiance!
I love Chicama, fantastic food great service and always fun.
Delicious food and great service, highly recommended
Great food, lovely setting. Miso salmon was lovely.
I think it’s important to say that this review is during the just the first wee out after Lockdown 2021 The staff were lovely. The octopus was incredible, even after the cocktails that would have rendered my memories obsolete. My friend’s cauliflower was HUGE to the point of being off-putting. Definitely will return
Chicama is a very vibrant very young, little restaurant with a great atmosphere. You go there for the ambiance, the cocktails and the grilled fish !
It was good but the food was better in the past...
Sat outside with a friend for post lockdown lunch. A welcome return for me to Chicama. Had wonderful padron peppers followed by grilled prawns. Delicious - could have eaten twice the amount of prawns!
My friend had seabass ceviche. She really liked the place, it was her first visit.
Hasta la proxima Chicama!
Lovely food and service.
Unbelievable!
Delicious food, courteous helpful service, charming outdoor seating area. A little gem
Best pisco sours on the planet. Full stop.
Chicama is by far my favourite Peruvian restaurant in London. Best quality food and amazing service every time!
We came to Chicama for our first meal back after lockdown. The service was impeccable despite the long break away, so many places would be forgiven for being a little rusty. The food was equally incredible. We wanted somewhere to really celebrate being able to go out together again, and Chicama did not disappoint. We had the lunch tasting menu and not a single dish disappointed, with the standouts being the sea bass and black rice. At the end of our meal our server surprised us with a round of pisco shots on the house which really topped off our celebratory mood and ended our meal on the best possible note. Overall a fantastic experience, and we’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Great service and food - great value also!
Always such fantastic food, all staff are so friendly and helpful, only negative was having to download the App for menu, when I’m out for lunch/dinner I don’t want to use my phone.
Absolutely delicious and interesting food. Two of my favourite things in the world are Chilli Margaritas, and Ceviche, and I was not disappointed at Chicama!
The food was nice, but the service fell short. Nobody asked me for an order for 20 minutes after arriving and that too only when I requested help. The same thing happened after the mains was over - they just left me to my own devices until I had to call for a waiter to order dessert.
Fabulous flavoursome food! The restaurant was very busy so it was a little hard to get service for additional drinks etc, which was fine until we were then rushed out the door (although we’d been without drinks for over 20 mins).
The outside space is exceptionally well heated.
Exquisite food, very enthusiastic and helpful staff always on hand and generally a fantastic evening, would throughly recommend!
Had a great meal here, food was excellent, everything was top notch
Long wait outside to be seated, seated 45 minutes after our booking time and not updated by staff. Rushed through our meal with no time for dessert as the previous dinners overstayed their slot. Incredible food but let down by the service and rushed experience.
Fabulous meal. Great food. Punchy flavours. Happy service. Happy people. We will be back.
Fresh and innovative and delicious. Tasting menu is great
Food was amazing! Lovely little restaurant. Will definitely be back!
The maitre d' was lovely and super helpful in sorting out our table however for some reason our food kept going to other tables first or we were bought items that we hadn't ordered. The 'outside' area was lovely but was very packed. Think I was in touching distance of the person next to me which didn't really bother me but might bother others.
The food itself was average - just a bit bland and everything needed a bit more sauce. Thought it was also a bit overpriced for what it was.
Fabulous service, amazing food, good (warm) outdoor dining for winter
Me and my partner booked a tasting dinner menu for our anniversary hoping to spend a lovely time while having best of chefs dishes.
Menu looked amazing, we were looking forward to it.
Unfortunately first 5/8 dishes came at once so sadly most of the courses we had to eat cold and before we finished the plates were replaced with the remaining courses. I m pretty sure they would of put them all on the table if there only was enough room. No one advised once what food we are having so we had to guess plus the cutlery was constantly missing. On the plus side the dishes that we managed to have warm were very tasty.
Not a fine dining place.
Great place for seafood lovers. We had a range of small plates and a whole grilled snapper which was outstanding.
the food quality was good , nothing too special for the price and size of the plate all in all you could go to a cheaper restaurant and get the exact same service/quality of food but larger portion
The service was very slow even though the restaurant was 30% full, between the dishes waiting time took between 15 and 30 minutes. Some of the dishes weren’t quite cooked to a standards. Octopus was over grilled and an egg on sourdough bread with avocado tasted interesting, avocado tasted like it was a watery mix with lemon.
Lovely friendly restaurant. Food delicious. Just a bit noisy so hard to have a conversation but it was a Friday night!
