Vibe: Nest of romantic intimacy
The ambiance at Aji Peruvian reflects the genuine warmth felt in its dishes. The intimate setting provides a sanctuary of comfort where couples find an ideal backdrop for romantic dates.

Perks: Expectations meet reality
Despite its many strengths, Aji Peruvian still has room for improvements regarding its service and perks. Scarcity of parking, confusion around shared outdoor dining, lack of diet options, and no kids' menu married with slow service, despite well-handled large groups and a pet-friendly patio, detracted from overall satisfaction. One notable frequent issue was tables not being ready on time for reservations.
