The only dish I would advise against getting is the grilled octopus. It was so salty that I was taken aback. I normally love my dishes with a dash more of salt, but this had me reaching for the water almost instantaneously. The drink menu is great with wine, cocktails, and beers. The atmosphere is lovely with the most wondrous decorations. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We came in a bit before the kitchen closed and they still accommodated us. I ordered the only labeled vegetarian entree and to be frank it wasn’t the best. It was just French fries, onions, mushrooms and 2 cherry tomatoes basted in a balsamic-y sauce. I opted for no rice which probably was a mistake, but either way I didn’t think that dish warranted a $20-24 price tag. My brother ordered a meat dish which he throughly enjoyed so I would definitely come back if I could eat meat or for the drinks. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labelled vegetarian dishes Vegetarian options: For lunch entrees only one labeled vegetarian dish.

I don't live in NY, otherwise I would definitively be a recurrent customer.

The food was excellent from the salad and seafood soup we had as appetizers, to the entrees we ordered. Menu was not flexible, but all came out very good. Prices were pretty moderate. Would definitely do it again.

The food was excellent...I recommend the octopus app and the braised lamb shank as well as the mussels. Service was excellent and the vibe was pleasant. read more The food was excellent...I recommend the octopus app and the braised lamb shank as well as the mussels.

While I found the loud children a bit much when we entered, for an 8:30 reservation, they soon left with their parents, making the whole experience a lot more pleasant. The food is wonderful, and creative, for what it is. The portions are a bit on the large size, but most people prefer that. The price point is exactly where it should be for the quality and quantity of what you get.

I'm always on the hunt for the best 'tres leches' cake, and I'm thrilled to have found it here. It had the perfect sponge consistency, just the right balance of milk and cream, and the addition of a delightful shrimp with lime made for a fantastic finish!

I ordered ceviche—though I forgot to take a picture of it—but it was absolutely delicious. I did wish they had chips to accompany it, but unfortunately, they were out on the day I visited. The steak I had was fantastic as well, and overall, my family and I had a wonderful experience there. The dessert was tasty too, although the brownie was a bit more on the dark side and not as thick as typical brownies. The service was excellent, and they were very attentive to COVID safety measures, keeping guests spaced apart with Plexiglass and ensuring everyone wore masks. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family, giving it a solid 10/10. I just wish the portions were larger, especially considering the prices.

From delicious food to wonderful staff, Jora is the #1 restaurant in the neighborhood. 10/10.

The octopus was incredibly fresh as well, and you have to order the yucca with the spicy sauce. A+ for customer experience and taste!

Had all their seafood and can confirm all the flavors are there. Smaller portions than most Peruvian spots but in between location and service it hits the spot. The cocktails really set Jora apart, do not miss out on the libations.
