Exceptional Restaurant for Unique and Delicious Dishes
Every dish was better than the last. All unique. All exceptional. Service was stellar. Atmosphere was great. I would go again in a heartbeat.

With a name like Llama Inn, you better have serious food game! Walked to the highly rated restaurant, sans reservation, and was cordially accommodated at the bar. The dimly lit restaurant somehow oozes exciting appeal. I was fortunate that by sitting at the bar, I interacted with the excellent bar staff, who helped make my evening even better. Despite the small menu, making choices is not easy at Llama. I settled for 2 appetizers: the skate wing and the crispy calamari ceviche. Both were incredibly delicious. The best tiger's milk I have ever tasted. An equally well thought out wine list compliments the great food.
Be the first to ReplyIGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS HERE.. LLAMA INN IS AMAZING!!!!
Just logged onto Trip Advisor to leave my review and I am astounded by the negative ones here. Did these folks dine at the same restaurant I did? If this is a two-star restaurant in someone's mind what can rate a four or five? Maybe a night a Milliways with Zaphod Beeblebrox, because it would have to be so out of this world to beat the meal I had at Llama Inn. (Sorry, I will slip off my high horse) My wife and I had Sunday brunch at Llama Inn and were blown away. It's a cute Brooklyn eatery tucked away next to the BQE. Casual in design with an uncrowded floorplan, openish kitchen, large well stocked bar in the center of the room, with lots of windows and plants that give the smallish space a bigger green airy feel. Peruvian cuisine is obviously at its heart, but that is just a launching pad for the exotic flavors and delicious creative dishes they serve. We were warmly greeted immediately upon arrival and after they looked up our reservation, were seated right away. Our waiter was knowledgeable, answered any questions we had without being overly doting or pushy, and even steered me towards an astounding glass of Tempranillo red wine. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her mixed drink, a Chicha Merada. We ordered the beet tiradito, tamal, and fried chicken sandwich. All were way above average, unique in flavor, texture, preparation, and presentation. I would try to describe each, but I know my flowery adjectives would not do it justice and I would sound like a trite Food Channel rerun. Just go and try each of them yourself, you will not be let down. Promise!!! Portion size was appropriate for that style of elevated cooking. Pacing of the meal was perfect. We shared all three dishes and had a hard time choosing a favorite. Any one of them I would order again in heartbeat. I am not a big dessert person, but I could not stop eating the lucuma my wife ordered. Just as amazing as the other dishes. We expected a good meal, what we got was something very special that we kept talking about days later. We had dinner two days earlier at a trendy lower Manhattan famous chef's Michelin star awarded restaurant, and frankly, our experience at Llama Inn overshadowed it. Ignore the negative reviews here, and don't hesitate going. I can't wait to go back.
Be the first to Reply" I understand your fried chicken was undercooked. "
I wish I could give it a 1 star, but I can't. The rest of the food was exceptional. However, the kitchen was a mess, The food came out in no particular order, and they forgot 2 dishes that we ordered. I had to remind the runner that we were waiting for more food because he was clearing the table. The waitress came and I had to remind her that 2 dishes were missing and then the fried chicken and picarones arrived I cut into it and it was RAW. Called the waitress and her face told the story she was in shock without saying a word she immediately removed the plate. Manager came and said I understand your food was undercooked. NOT UNDERCOKKED RAW No apology whatsoever new dish came 10 minutes later but still missing the other. Had second conversation with manager gave him the whole night experience and told him to cancel the last dish. The brought it anyway. By then it just became a horrible dining experience. Still waiting for an apology.

We went there because we read they were nominated for the James Beard award. I’m afraid to say I was not impressed. Being Hispanic, with a Peruvian background, we found the food lackluster. Did not have a savory Latino flavor at all. Yes, they may be nominated and their plates look like your typical bougie type of set up and priced accordingly. But the flavors for purely lacking.
Be the first to ReplyFresh, imaginative and stunning dishes in a warm hug of a restaurant.
This was one of the highlights of our recent NYC visit. Unbeknownst to me, I had booked the kitchen counter (popular), so there was a 15min delay seating us as the previous diners had taken a little longer to enjoy (not surprised). Llama kindly offered us some pisco sours on the house as a gesture whilst waiting, or they were happy to seat us at another table. We were happy waiting, with our Pisco sours, taking in the ambience. Once seated, we watched the superb chefs at work. It's a new menu, and it was delicious. Imaginative, not gimmicky, fresh vegetable dishes, deeply flavoured meats...just perfect. Erik the chef and brandchild of Llama came to say goodnight to us as he left. Charming, and has a wonderfully professional yet warm relationship with his talented staff. Thanks for a great night team!
Be the first to Replyridiculously overpriced
We visited Williamsburg to eat and we hit some of the major players - Four Horsemen, Francie and Llama Inn. All had great food, but only the Llama Inn left us feeling ripped off. The menu doesn't look that bad when you read it - but once your food comes you see that the portion size for anything under $80 is tiny (as in tapa-sized). $40 for a miniature pork chop? We had a better tasting chop 4x as large for half the price at Tra Di Noi - but of course that's in The Bronx and lacks the bro-boasting status of Williamsburg. I realize some people actually enjoy overpaying for things just to demonstrate to the world that they have so much money that it doesn't matter to them. If that's you, then pull yourself away from watching Salt Bae videos, jump into your Land Rover and drive on down to the Llama Inn - they've got what you want.
Be the first to ReplySimply incredible
We visited with my brother who is a local. When he described it as a Peruvian/Japanese fusion thing I was doubtful, but we ordered a selection of dishes between 3 of us and they all blew me away in terms of sheer taste and quality. The staff was amazingly helpful and knowledgeable (but not in that pushy way so hates by us Brits) and the cocktails were original and superbly mixed. I have been raving about this place ever since and every meal I have eaten out since has fallen a long way short.
Be the first to ReplyImaginative food, serious cocktails and good service
In a not great part of the very hot part of Brooklyn is the Llama Inn that would be a start in the hottest parts of Manhattan. The food is semi-Peruvian but whatever it is, it is extraordinary. And very good value.
Be the first to ReplyAmazingly creative
Amazingly creative dishes; original wine list with wines from Spain & South America; the setting is rather simple (no table cloth) but modern; the noise level is at the limit of what is bearable (the music could be turned down a bit). Better book, since it’s a trendy spot. Overall we hds a nice dinner.
Be the first to ReplyGreat Food Experience
Loved my dinner at the Llama Inn! Had three different dishes and loved each one! Of course I can’t remember the exact dishes I had - a ceviche, a scallop and delicata squash dish and the Lomo Saltado. All were unique and very tasty.
Be the first to ReplyWe were rushed, harassed by the manager and told they wanted us to leave bc it was a slow night and they wanted to go home.
We arrived a few minutes late for our 8pm reservation on 10/11. All was going well and we were seated about 8:10-8:15. We proceeded to order some drinks and appetizers. The waiter was nice and made some good drink and app recommendations. About 20min later, we ordered the chicken entree. The chicken took about 40minutes to come out. It was about 9:20 when it was placed on our table. My fiancé went inside to use the restroom and it was then that she was approached by the manager on duty the evening of 10/11/20 who told her that “they’d like to go home soon bc it was a slow night and theyd appreciate if we could wrap things up”. It wasn’t even 9:30pm. And we had just been served our entrees. The manager and a couple others were hovering around the bar and were heard laughing and saying “yeah it’d be nice to not be here all night”.
My fiancé was upset. She felt disrespected and rightfully so. We’re about to spend over $200 on dinner and they are rushing us and being rude while doing so.
I confronted the manager and told him there’s no need to be disrespectful. I told him we’ve barely been here an hour and the food just came out. He yelled. He said he wanted us gone and tried to shut the door on me. I sat back down to finish our dinner. At roughly 9:38pm he yelled at us that he was calling the cops. He called the cops and lied by telling them “we refuse to pay our bill”. At 9:40pm I called the cops too. At this point we felt we were being harassed. When the police arrived, I told him that we were in fact not trying to leave without paying and our party of 4 was still sitting at our table. He eventually told the cops he just wanted us gone. They asked us to leave. I tipped our waiter $40 and we left without finishing our meals.
Whoever this person was, should immediately be fired. To have someone like that represent your establishment is a disgrace. And a shame because the food at Llama Inn is really great. This was certainly not my first time here, but it will definitely be my last.
Cool Spot to Dine or Drink
My spouse and I visited the Llama Inn for brunch on a Saturday afternoon in mid-January 2020. The Llama Inn is open daily for dinner and for brunch on weekends. Guests can book a table using the online RESY reservation system. When making a reservation, you can select the type of seating that you desire; in our case, we asked to be seated at the chef’s counter.
The Llama Inn opened in November 2015 in a seemingly triangular-shaped building on a road adjacent to/below the BQE (Brooklyn Queens Expressway) in Williamsburg. Patrons can sit at the chef’s counter facing the open kitchen, at a multi-sided bar that occupies the center of the dining room, at stand-alone tables (some of which share a banquette), at a few booths, or at a small counter that lines an exterior wall of floor-to-ceiling glass. Rooftop al fresco dining is available in warmer weather. Décor includes South American-inspired artwork and textiles and lots of plants which seem to thrive in the bright windowed atmosphere.
The Llama Inn serves Peruvian-Mexican food. We shared the ceviche to start; it was different than other ceviche we have eaten because the restaurant did not serve it with any chips or other items on which to pile the ceviche; instead, they delivered two large spoons and we used them to eat the yummy dish right from the bowl. Next, we ordered two sandwiches: the pork shoulder and the fried chicken. Both were tasty although extremely spicy. When we opened the sandwiches to peek inside, we saw that both were layered with fiery peppers, which were too spicy for our liking. Each sandwich came with a choice of chips or a side salad. (Although we ordered one chips and one salad, both were delivered with chips. The mistake was quickly rectified; however, we were dismayed to see that the kitchen simply dumped the incorrect chips back into the main container in the kitchen in order to reuse them rather than throwing them away.) We shared the key lime pie for dessert, which was topped with toasted meringue (which tasted more marshmallow-y than egg white-ish.) Although we sampled the non-alcoholic Llama Side cocktail (made with roasted pineapple, passionfruit, ginger, and lime), the Llama Inn also has a full liquor license so that you can enjoy beer, wine, and cocktails.
We liked our brunch at the Llama Inn; the food, service, and atmosphere were enjoyable.
Just not worth it
After my hopeful first visit to Llama Inn, I will not be back. 4 ladies and I went for an international women’s day brunch - we arrived promptly at 11am, both when they opened and at the precise time of our reservation. We were seated immediately since the place was still empty. The service, however, was some of the worst I’ve had in years. We were patient with the drink order since the drinks are mainly cocktails, which are good, but then when it was time to order the issues started to arise... first, a vegetarian was told that she couldn’t get the breakfast sandwich without the meat patty. It’s 2020 and you’re in Brooklyn, be prepared for vegetarians and respectful - it’s not like she asked for a shredded meat to be individually pulled from a dish, it was a patty. Then with the two sandwiches either salad or fries were offered - not a big deal until they arrived and the only sauce options were mayo of siracha - both work fine, until the bill arrives with individual charges for each sauce and an up charge for the fries that wasn’t mentioned. It should be mentioned that although we all had a 2nd cocktail, we were repeatedly asked if we were done - it’s a Sunday brunch that we’re enjoying, not a dine and dash. All this to say, beware. You’ll pay for a delicious meal in a fun environment, but there service will be poor and you’ll spend $60 each on brunch.
Be the first to ReplyNot worth your money or time!
I was extremely disappointed by my dinner at the Llama Inn. There were three main reasons for this horrible experience. The first was the service. Our waitress aggressively up-sold us during the meal. We finished ordering and she was spitefully dramatic about the small amount of food we ordered. Given her appall with our order we decided to get two more dishes. We did not finish (or hardly eat) either of these additional plates. Large waste of money, which we anticipated, and the waitress ill-advised us on for her personal benefit. The second reason was the lack of flexibility with a limited menu selection. This restaurant does not have good enough food or revolutionary culinary techniques that warrant dishes that cannot be altered for their customers. I had even called and alerted the host of any restrictions. They assured me over the phone that we would be fine. They were incorrect and someone in my party was only able to eat one thing (a salad) on the entire menu (and she only avoids dairy and meat). The third reason was the fact that at our 7:30 (Monday night) reservation, they had sold out of their signature dish, which we had come to try. I will not be back and I recommend steering clear of this pompous, over-priced, let-down of a restaurant. New York has plenty of great places. Go anywhere else!
