Ok, but no more. Frankly overpriced. We are hear 6 months ago and the service was more attentive and food just tastier. I can't see them surviving much longer if they don't connect more with their food.

Really delicious, authentic Ecadorian food. The cerviches were universally adored. The fish stew was really delicate and the roasts highly acclaimed by my friends. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to those wanting to try something a bit different

Amazing restaurant - perhaps my favorite in London. Beautiful dishes, exceptional service, excellent atmosphere/interior design. The Cevice's are truly amazing, and have single-handedly derailed a recent fling with Vegetarianism... Henry

El Inca Plabeyo is a lovely family run restaurant. It had a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere and chef Joges take on traditional Ecuadorian dishes is out of this world!

Great restaurant, fantastic flavours and attentive service. Try the plantain with cheese as a starter, the ecuadorian roast specialty and the quinoa pudding as a dessert.

Really friendly staff, nice decor and great food. All four of us really enjoyed our time there. The plantain and mushrooms were really tasty, but the chili chocolate desert and pisco sour cocktails were the highlights.

Transformative interiors took us away from London and dropped us into a South American evening which consisted of really polite and amicable staff, visible pride in their efforts and of course, the quality of their food. We chose all the recommended dishes and were left wanting nothing more. Except for an extra plate of chicken wings one of which had to packed for the journey home. We will definitely be back!

It was our first visit at El Inca Plebeyo and for sure we'll be back. Nice and cosy atmosphere with beautiful ceviche as starters. The mains were good. Too but not as exciting. My wife's seabass was cooked to perfection and so was my chicken. Limited but very good choice of wines. Staff was very nice and helpful. Perhaps but that's because I'm french...I would have loved to have some bread to slurp that sauce with the ceviche :-)

Good spicy food. Ceviche and scallops, followed by pork belly and mushrooms. Colourful decor, folk music, cocktails and low noise levels contribute to make for an enjoyable night out.

Nice Ecuadorian restaurant, good food choices and very pleasant staff. It lacked a bit of atmosphere as we were the only people in the restaurant but perhaps because we went for lunch on a rainy Saturday. Overall it was a lovely meal with authentic Ecuadorian dishes. Loved the sea bass ceviche and my grilled sea bass was delicious.

My wife and I had a nice dinner at Inca Plebeyo using a voucher. The flavours were interesting but the portion sizes were small (I have a big appetite!). If I had paid full prices then I would've been disappointed. However, this is often the case when I go out to eat and the service was fantastic! Very friendly and that made the experience very enjoyable. I will be back to try the happy hour!

Lovel food, lovely staff. I'd been there once, finding it almost by accident, & ate a delightful dinner so went back a few months later. A treasure trove of delights, the ceviche is delicious & my main, an unctuous barley risotto, delightful.

I have never had Ecuadorean food before and was a little apprehensive, but the food was wonderful. We tried the chicken wings and plantain for starters and they were great. The lamb absolutely melted in my mouth. Reasonable size portions. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff highly attentive...

There were a lot of things on the menu that were not available but she did not tell us when we first ordered. So we ordered about 5 times before getting our food. Maybe the staff should know his pre service

Service at the restaurant was fantastic, good welcome & personal care during the evening. The athmosphere at the restaurant is great, feeling transported to south america as you get in. Food was very especial, although dishes contained a little bit too much coriander for our taste, we liked the varierty of new dishes and flavours, new to our palates. We loved the plantain with homemade cheese and tomatoes. Unfortunately we were too full to try desserts! Constructive criticism is that the terrace could do with a bit of work and change in decoration; we only spent few minutes in the terrace. Overall great ethnic experience, totally recommended!

A delightful Ecuadorian restaurant in Islington, London that was a pleasing eating experience. The food was interesting and very nicely presented (pottery dishes, traditional woven cloths on the table). We shared ceviche with fried plantains and then the weekend barbeque special -- certainly enough for two people. The serving staff were very attentive and helpful, making good recommendations. The bill was reasonable (around £35 for meal and drinks) but they accepted the Gourmet Club card which cut the price to £25. We'll be back.

A lovely welcoming restaurant with fabulous food. So good that I visited twice in one week! The ceviches are the best I've had in the UK, and the Vieiras con Ají Amarillo are fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Panza de Cerdo, crispy pork belly on a bed of sweet potato was tasty, but I much preferred the flavours of the Pollito a la Brasa. The fig dessert is excellent but beaten hands down by the quinoa pudding.

Fantastic Food, really unique flavours. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and even though it was a Tiesday night, the atmosphere was lovely. Our waitress was very friendly, helped us to decide on dishes and explained each dish. The food was unlike anything I've ever tasted and my boyfriend and I couldn't help but stuff ourselves. The seabass ceviche is a must and the quinoa pudding dessert is something you won't find anywhere else. The head chef, Jorge, came and spoke to us after the meal and gave us more information on his inspiration for the dishes. It was a perfect evening.

The food is brilliant , service good however I have a gourmet membership which offers 25% OFF from total bill including drinks however they refused to apply the discount on drinks which was very dissapointing. Otherwise the food was good and the Spanish waiteresess was great. Only my issue they have no clue what offered in gourmet. That's why I scored them low

Fantastic pisco sours and the food was great too - I don't remember having ecuadorian food before, but it certainly tasted like authentic Peruvian, I guess they are very similar cuisines!
