Description

Per Kilo is a South American-inspired restaurant in Sydney known for its delicious and filling burritos and lunch boxes. Customers love the generous portions and flavorful meats, although some find the food to be slightly bland compared to authentic Mexican cuisine. The option to customize your own box by weight adds an interesting twist to the dining experience. The cozy dining area encourages interaction with other diners, creating a friendly atmosphere. The restaurant's popularity is evident by the long queues outside, but it's worth the wait for the satisfying and affordable meal options.

I tried the daily special at this restaurant and it was fantastic. The spicy chicken in a chili sauce with rice, salad, and spicy black beans was delicious. It was great value for only $10. I also had some traditional round bread that was tasty, although a bit dense.

I have only ever tried the "lunch box" at Per Kilo, but it is so good that I have never felt the need to try anything else! The chicken, beans, and salad are all delicious. You can choose to adjust the spice levels, and as someone who thinks I can handle spice, I found it quite spicy - which I loved! The portions are generous, so if you have the lunch box, you may not have much of an appetite come dinner time. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant recently renovated their interior, reducing seating but allowing for more standing room for take-out orders, which used to leave customers waiting outside. I highly recommend Per Kilo.

Whilst a very small shop front great South American food. Limited bench space to dine in and often very busy with both sit down and take away which is testimony to the quality of the food. Pricing and portion size both very good.

This restaurant offers a unique dining experience where you can pile as much food as you want on your plate and pay for what you eat. The Colombian cuisine is delicious, light, and refreshing. The communal tables in the dining area encourage conversation with strangers, adding to the overall experience. The only drawback is that the restaurant is quite small and compact, making it not ideal for large groups of more than 16 diners.

My wife is Colombian and was craving some home comforts so we made a trip to this café. We were not disappointed and super happy we did. We had the Arepa with chicken. They were huge and amazing. The guacamole was so fresh, chicken cooked...perfectly and Arepa tasted like I was on side street in Colombia. Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back for more
