Naylamp

I tried this place for the first time with a friend and we loved it! I had no idea what to expect going into this, but so glad that I did. From the outside it does not look like much, but don't let that deter you from trying the food. The smells upon walking in are amazing! I am very new to Peruvian food so I know little to nothing about it. I went on my friends suggestion and got the Tacu Tacu and it was so amazing. I loved the combination of flavors. The fried egg on top is not usually something that I do, but it was perfect with the steak and the rice and beans pancake. The fried plantains were so good and the fresh avocado mixed perfectly with it. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other yummy dishes that we smelled going to other tables. The service was great and we did not want for anything. The price was great for what you get. as I stated please do not let the age of the building deter you from trying it. The inside is clean and the food and the service were great. Would recommend and will be back soon!!

Great food and excellent service. It’s a small but cozy place. If I come back to Oklahoma, I’ll definitely eat here again.

very friendly and attentive staff serving up authentic peruvian dishes in a small but inviting space. I especially loved the two variations of green sauces served up with the dishes, I only wish there was more of it! will be returning for more, as the menu had many dishes to choose from.

Amazing experience! Server was very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients in each dish. He suggested the Chicharron De Puerco and it was amazing!

The best Peruvian food I have ever tasted in OK! Everything we ordered was delicious and the waitress was super nice and answered all of the questions! The inside of the restaurant is very inviting, super clean and the atmosphere including the music was amazing! 100% recommended! Chicharrones de Pescado, Lomo Saltado, Pescado Sudado y Papa a la Huancaina

I was introduced to this place when a while back, and when I get a chance I come back. Never busy when I come, which is kind of a shame. Seriously great food. Seating area is clean and well lit. Prices aren't bad. The parking lot is a little difficult to get to and not in the best shape, but that's a minor concern. I highly recommend the lomo saltado. If I lived closer, I'd come back 2-3 times a week!

Excellent place to eat, don't be confused with how it looks on the outside. Inside you will find a humble culturally based restaurant with amazing food for a decent price. If your ever in Oklahoma City make this a place to go.

If you like a hole in the wall experience, then this place is about as extreme as you can get. The exterior is scary. But don't let that deter you. Go in and you will see a nice simple but warmly decorated restaurant in Peruvian style. The food is authentic and very well made. Ceviche, chaufa, Serrano all delicious. Strongly recommended

I got to visit Oklahoma City for the first time with my dad and brother, and as Peruvians, we couldn't wait to try this place. The restaurant is small, but it's absolutely packed with flavor. I have to say, the Pollo à la Brasa (Peruvian roasted chicken) was the only dish that didn't hit the mark for me. It didn't have that classic rotisserie flavor--it felt more like it was baked in an oven, which was a little disappointing since it's usually one of my favorites. But everything else? Amazing. The Lomo Saltado was my top pick, and if you go, definitely ask them to mix the fries into the sauce--it makes all the difference. The decor is super charming, with lots of Peruvian touches, and they even play Peruvian music, which sets such a fun vibe. We were seated right away, and the wait time for food was pretty standard. I did notice a lot of people ordering takeout, probably because the space is pretty small and seating is limited. Overall, it's a great spot for some delicious Peruvian food, even if the chicken didn't quite meet my expectations.

I absolutely love the food in this place. We live about 35 minutes away. And I've never been disappointed. It's a really cute hole in the wall restaurant and the service is good.

Naylamp Peruvian restaurant Serves authentic Peruvian dishes. My favorite is the Peruvian chicken. I always order a half chicken with the green rice and salad. The Peruvian green sauce (AJi Verdi) it's very tasty and I always order extra to dip my chicken in. I also enjoy their delicious Ceviche. Fast, friendly customer service.

Hidden GEM alert!!!!!! Went for lunch here this week and was not disappointed!!! The lomo saltado was a big win and the mussels were delicious!!!! The owners and servers made the experience even better by talking to us about the Peruvian culture!!!! Speaking of culture, the vibes were definitely authentic Peruvian the place was decorated beautifully and the music matched to give this place an amazing atmosphere!!!!

If there's a favorite Peruvian restaurant for me, Naylamp is probably it. The food is absolutely fantastic but I am holding 1 star back because they did not accommodate my request. Naylamp is known for the Lomo Saltado. Having had this traditional Peruvian dish at other restaurants, I specifically requested to have the fries separately just like how the dish was shown in the menu. What came out was the stir fry on top of the fries. I was not happy with this when I specifically requested it a certain way. Of course, I did not eat any of the soggy fries. I really liked the papa rellena appetizer at Naylamp. It's deep fried mashed potato stuffed with seasoned beef and egg inside. It had a good taste and very unique in presentation and flavor. This is one of Naylamp's most popular appetizers. Naylamp is a tiny Peruvian restaurant with a maximum occupancy of 23 customers. Don't worry, the restaurant usually does not exceed the occupancy. I don't mind the space. I find it lovely but I am still not happy with this restaurant on how they completely botched my request.

WOW! This was my first Peruvian cuisine experience and it DID NOT disappoint. Everything we tried was so good. Can't wait to return and explore the rest of their menu.

Came with a big group, all of our food was INCREDIBLE!! I'd never had Peruvian food before and it was SO good. I will 100% be back. The ladies that served us were so sweet!! 10/10!!!

Easily the best peruvian homemade food from Oklahoma and maybe the midwest. Ceviche was flavorful. Leche de tigre was also delicious. Tacu tacu was also amazing. I wish I had a restaurant like this in Kansas like Gabbys too. Service is great. The location is small but good service makes you overlook the rest.

Casual down home environment with excellent food. I particularly like the pollo a la brasa, with green rice. Can't go wrong if you eat here.

The food was a 10/10 we tried 5 different dishes and none disappointed. The service was also amazing as the waitress was very helpful and nice. I for sure recommend this place for anyone near by.

A fantastic find near the airport. Fresh, flavorful food and friendly service. Don't let the exterior turn you away. You are in for a special treat. The Loma Saltado was excellent. I highly recommend it, but, honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything you pick. Everything our family had was great. Enjoy!

The best tamales I've ever had! Service is friendly and fast. Besides the tamales, we had the ceviche and rice with chicken - everything was excellent. Definitely will be back!

This place is amazing! Flavorful and reasonably priced. I love Peruvian food and hadn't found an authentic place in OKC until I came here! Will be back

A great traditional Peruvian restaurant. No frills and straight forward. The spoken language is Spanish, but they will speak English as well. Food was great! All prepared in the traditional way. Came hot and quickly. Service was amazing as well. The only thing is that the neighborhood didn't seem great. If you get nervous about those things, it may not be right for you. We loved it!

Heard of Naylamp and have driven by it. I believe we tried a different location a very long time ago. My wife and I decided to visit the SW location with another couple. It's a small restaurant but they did a good job of seating at every other table due to covid. They also wore masks. It wasn't terribly busy but once we got there, we were followed by multiple families so the restaurant got full fast! The service was pleasant so you may be wondering why the 3 stars. Here's what we ordered: 1. Appetizer: Papa A La Huancaina - Traditional Peruvian appetizer. Combination of sliced boiled potatoes topped with huancaina sauce, boiled eggs and aceitunas. Pretty good. Our first time trying it. 2. Appetizer: Papa Rellena Deep-fried mashed potato, stuffed with seasoned beef raisins. Topped with salsa criolla. Serve with signature green sauce. The description may have a typo because I didn't taste any raisins but it definitely had beef. This is an item I would recommend. It reminds me of shepherd's pie; deep fried. Very flavorful. I could make a meal out of a few of these. There's only one on the plate but it's fairly large. 3. 1/4 chicken with green rice and plantains My wife and I both got this and it wasn't anything that wowed us. We liked it, especially the plantains. The chicken and rice was just mediocre. But here's why we can't say much more. We lost our appetite when 1/2 way through the chicken, my wife sees a 3 inch piece of hair entangled in the wing of her chicken. You can imagine how disgusted she was. I can handle it but she struggles with things like that quite a bit. I understand things happen so we asked them to take it back and give us another entree. They asked if we wanted the same thing and my wife said yes- chicken... They brought back her same exact plate but had just changed out the chicken. That hair may have touched the rice next to it so the proper thing to do was get her a new plate with fresh sides and food. I'm not sure if they just don't know how to handle situations like these but it put a damper on things. She wasn't happy and felt disgusted to begin with to even finish. This is my rant on why they only get the 3. 4. Milanesa De Pollo Slow fried breaded chicken breast served with white rice and our signature salad. Our friend got this and he enjoyed it. He didn't touch the salad, which was similar to a potato salad. He said it lacked salt and was very bland. The rice and breaded chicken were good otherwise. Naylamp is one of the few Peruvian places in OKC so give it a try. We just hope you have a better experience than us.

Savored every bite of my (tangy, well seasoned, and exceptionally well balanced) ceviche mixto. My sister in law went hog wild over her Lomo Saltado, and my husband ventured a little outside his comfort zone to try green rice and plantains. the To quote fellow Yelper Rebecka M., "It's attached to Sugar's bar and looks like a total dive from the outside. It's small and casual inside but very clean." We want to order the Milanesa de Pollo and the Papa Rellena on our next trip in. (The Palta Rellena we had at Inca Trail was good, so . . . ) We also want to try Papa A La Huancaina -- a very traditional Peruvian appetizer. (Imagine a mixture of sliced, boiled potatoes topped with a signature sauce and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Yum.) Just lovely!

I'm so happy I got to try Peruvian food in Oklahoma City! Being in DFW, I've tried just about every Peruvian place and though they are good I just can't get enough and wanted to try another restaurant. Naylamp was awesome, that was probably my favorite papa rellena I've ever had and it was amazing with the salsa criolla. The lomo saltado had so much flavor, it was a nice portion as well. The fried yucca was a great side to have with the meal as a nice crispy bite! If you're around, please support this restaurant!

Superb food, presentation, and cleanliness! A gem in south OKC! Everything on the plate looks just like the very professional menus. Just as beautiful and colorful to look at as to taste. Great care to be clean and professional despite the hole in the wall appearance as you drive by. Definitely check it out!

A estado difícil de encontrar un restaurante peruano que no sea tan fuera de camino para nosotros que somos recidentes de Arkansas pero lo encontramos en una paciada en Oklahoma, estaba todo rico con buen sazón con tiempo y buen hogar chiquito pero bien bienvenidos

Excellent! This whole in the wall restaurant that you probably drive by without noticing has some of the best food in OKC. When I first out it, I ate here three times in one week. I've never had a fish I didn't like. Tonight I had the Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian stir fry dish. It consists of beef strips cooked in a red wine sauce with onions, tomatoes and bell peppers and is served over fries with a side of rice. They have a green sauce to pour over your food and it's so flavorful. I absolutely recommend Naylamp as I'm quickly becoming a regular.

The food is great and it's well seasoned. They have all sorts of foods from light to heavy but they food is great as well as their service. Pretty clean as well.

I love the food at this Peruvian restaurant!! Whenever I come to OKC- usually 3-4 times a year- I always stop here, and bring coworkers when possible. The food is so delicious and flavorful! I usually get the Lomo Saltado which is busting with flavor! And I absolutely love the Yucca fries with the green sauce!! Delicious! Now, if you're ok with a little dive on the south side of town, give this a try. If you're looking for something more American or a nicer restaurant, go somewhere else. If what you care about is great food and nice people, give this a try!

Naylamp Peruvian Restaurant I love meals here. I enjoy the Peruvian culture which we get to experience while dining with the folks of Naylamp. Their food is delicious. The decor is casual, comfortable, and welcoming and the staff is attentive. Also, note it is closed on Tuesdays. My favorite dish is probably the Peruvian sampler appetizer which is just the beginning of the best of what this little spot has to offer. There's nothing here which I've ordered which I didn't like. The Peruvian sampler can come with papa a la huancaina, papa rellena, & a tamal. I love the papa a la huancaina which is a boiled potato with a specialty Peruvian cream sauce over the top, the papa rellena is a fried potato ball stuffed with meaty deliciousness-yes, please! There may also be a tasty tamal to round out the trio. For mains, I love the lomo saltado dish which is thin strips of marinated steak mixed with onions, tomatoes, and french fries served with cilantro rice-it's flavorful and delicious. I also love the simple pleasures of salchipappa which is bitesize fried hot dogs mixed up with french fries. Don't judge, it's delicious. I also love the pollo a la brasa which is grilled chicken served with fries, salad and a drink. This is a great dish for sharing if you get the half or whole options. I think the tacu tacu dish is also tasty. Lastly, I recommend the arroz chaufa, AKA fried rice-it's scrumptious. This location has a small and casual dining room. The exterior isn't anything fancy and may be off-putting to a few, but don't let it turn you off. My only criticism of the physical location is the bathroom setup. I believe it may be a challenge for individuals who experience a physical handicap to maneuver in this bathroom as it is so small. They accept cards. They also have an order ahead system on Yelp if you are wanting to pick up your food in a hurry. Yes, the service staff may speak Spanish, but there's usually someone there who speaks English as well. I've never had any communication barriers that couldn't be overcome with a smile and a picture menu, as a last resort.

This place is a little hole in the wall next to Sugar Bar. They have the best Lomo Saltado and Arroz Con Mariscos (seafood paella). I'm from San Francisco where we have a few good Peruvian restaurants and Naylamp has way better food! I have brought friends with me to this little restaurant and they are amazed at how delicious the food is. The owner is this lovely woman and her son. I hope people check out this amazing Peruvian restaurant.

What a Hidden jem. Food is amazing and very affordable. You can tell they take great care in preparing food. I love that the TV in the restaurant always has the food network on. We would watch some program and say hey that looks good. Then your meal comes out and your like woah, nevermind this looks better. Highly recommend the appetizer with chicken and avocado soooo good. The steak onion fries combo plate sorry don't t remember the name. It's so on point delicious. This of one of these places where you see want someone else got and your like maybe I should have got that. No worries it's all good besides you can always come back.

I love the food there. Palta Rellena, Lomo Saltado are my favorite. Great Service. Highly recommended!

The food was absolutely amazing! Exactly what I wanted! My family and I will definitely be returning.

Great little place on SW 44th. It's the kind of place Anthony Bourdain would have loved. I had the lomo saltado. It was a beef stir fry with French fries and rice. The sauce was flavorful but the beef was a little tough. My mom had chicken legs and green rice. She enjoyed both. We also ordered the potato appetizer with a creamy sauce. It was also very good. Plenty for leftovers. If you want to change the world, come to places like this.

Ok, where do I start?! Got stuck for a couple extra days in OKC due to ice storm. Decided to Uber eats something, instead of ordering from my hotel. OMG you must order from or dine in at this place. Originally from DC, and we have so many good Peruvian places! This is amazing! Let me Tell you. Order. Order. Order!

Good Peruvian food, yet overprice and small dishes. I used to go here, yet customer service is not at its best.

Went here with some friends and we were blown away by the absolutely amazing dishes we experienced! Lomo Saltado is a must try; we also ordered arroz con pollo, ceviche de pescado, and a tamal. All of these meals were equally delicious and beautifully presented. Best tamal and ceviche of my life thus far - cannot WAIT to go back.

If you're ever in the area, you have to stop by and try this place out! Their steak and fries plate is amazing and the plantains are excellent. Whatever that green sauce is, load up on that (just a tad spicy). We will make it a point to come back here

Service is really nice. The flavor of food is delicious and the ambiance it's really familiar, calm, enjoyable. We loved the green rice

Came into this location(Naylamp South) after reading a Google review from a Peruvian who stated that this Naylamp is the better and more authentic of the 2 locations(this being the original). It's in a somewhat shady location and we were a little apprehensive coming in for dinner at night. Ended up sitting at a table where we could keep an eye on our car, and all ended up being ok. We were the only ones in the restaurant, and were served promptly by the wait staff who had just been chilling. Tap water tasted a little strange, so I would recommend going with a tall glass bottle of Fanta instead. Got the lomo saltado as my entree and it was delicious. It consists of strips of marinated steak, bell peppers and onions on top of a bed of fries, with a scoop of white rice on the side and comes with green sauce. As with most times I've had Hispanic steak, the meat is very well flavored. Having the fries at the bottom is great too, because they soak in all the flavor and juice from the meat and vegetables. The others at my table got the rotisserie chicken and it was subpar. My main point of comparison is the rotisserie chicken at Inca Trail, and it was dry and the flavor bland in comparison. However, the lomo saltado was good enough for Naylamp to earn a solid 4 stars. I'd consider coming back for that, and sticking with Inca Trail for my Peruvian rotisserie chicken.

La comida peruana en este restaurante es DELICIOSA! Yesterday my family and I stopped by for a quick & authentic meal and we sure found it at Naylamp. I ordered a Pollo Saltado with Inca Kola and it was delicious!! See attached pic... There was just one downside: the "Naylamp Peruvian Restaurant" sign is hard to follow. There's an arrow that points towards the back giving the illusion that the restaurant might be towards the end of the parking lot. It is not. If you're not familiar with the area, be aware that the restaurant is in the corner of the small parking lot. Before the bar. We're new to the area so we were happy to find an authentic and delicious Peruvian meal. If you're in OKC, don't miss out!! Thank me later. :)

Great food, fair prices. I usually ordered ceviche and lomo saltado. Highly recommended

The roasted chicken was seasoned just right, and the arroz verde had a nice flavor. And what is with the green sauce...why haven't I had this deliciousness before?! My only regret was that I should've gone for 1/2 chicken instead of only a 1/4. Heck, why not a whole while I'm at it?! I'll be back again to try out the Lomo Saltado...my companions raved about it, so now I gotta see what it's all about!

Very good authentic Peruvian food!! You won't be disappointed!! Lomo Saltdo is a must try!

Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, and Bisteak Encebeado this restaurant has excellent additional the homeless so good!

There's not a lot of Peruvian options in OKC and I'm fine with that, because Naylamp is so delicious! I probably crave their food once a month. I'm not a huge fan of their location, only because they are located off of a busy street. It makes it difficult for me to turn in and out. BUT there's great news! They use to block off the alleyway between the community thrift store and the dentist village, but it's unblocked now. Thus, making it easier to get out of the parking lot area and avoid awkwardly waiting for a kind person to leave an opening to turn out onto the street. Oh yes. They're closed on Tuesdays. I was looking up their hours through Yelp yesterday and it showed that they were open, but when I arrived at the restaurant, the gentlemen from the business next door told me that they're closed on Tuesdays. I was bummed out until I went here for lunch today. The place has a "make yourself at home" vibe. It's a small place and customers steadily come in to where it isn't too packed; at least not when I've dined here. I'm obsessed with their chicken. I know it sounds like a basic meal, but it's actually really good. The Peruvian chicken has a unique texture and flavor. There were a few times that they've told me that they sold out of the chicken or just didn't have chicken that day, which is fine with me. Today was one of those times. I ended up getting the 'bistec encebollado' and that was really good too. 'Tacu tacu' is also one of my favorite dishes here. I cannot get enough of their 'papa a la huancaina' or their green rice as sides. Service was fantastic and quick; the boyfriend and I were somewhat in a hurry, because we had to go to work... but we made it in time, with a full stomach!

Not Good refers to the service and the expectations that you can phone in an order and it'll be ready when they say it will. We ended up waiting for them to cook it and it made us late for our event. The food is exceptional, but the service is extremely sub par.

Just what I was expecting. Got some ceviche, choros a la chalaca and some pollo a la brasa; everything was delicious. Service was great too.

The bean are flavorful and whole, the fried plantains are sweet and the edges crispy, the chicken is juicy, and the house dipping sauce bright and balanced. I cannot recommend trying this enough. Friendly, fast service, and very clean.

It's a small restaurant, but big flavors await. The parking is adequate for the number of seats. I've been lucky because the seating is limited. The ceviche is great, and everything I've tried has been delicious. I tried a seafood sampler last time which included two fried dishes and a chicken salad with a Peruvian twist. I look forward to trying their lomo saltado. I've been to their Northside location a couple of times with my family, more parking and a bigger restaurant.

Naylamp is good if you're craving some South American food or to just try something new. The "pollo asado" is tender could be a bit juicier. Luckily you're provided with sauces that way you can dip it. Lomo saltado is tasty and it got some flavors. Here's an advice serve a bit of more meat for the price you charge. The sauces are delicious and the food comes out hot. Good atmosphere and decor is very interesting.

Yummy place! We got there late and they closed in 20 min. The staff was very gracious and took care of us despite our later arrival. Our server was very sweet. Drinks are by the can or bottle. I ordered the lomo saltado. Great seasoning. The sauce is pretty spicy so I didn't eat it, but I did taste it and it had great flavor. I'd definately visit again. It is located on SW 44th and Penn Ave, so some may feel unsafe, but this place is worth going in to!

Food - great. Service - very good. Cleanliness - great. Third visit to this restaurant. Very good quality food. The server, though not a professional, was very nice and attentive. I ordered the Parihuela Soup, which was like a nice tomato-based broth with fish, calamari, shrimp, and mussels, along with some veggies like yuca and tomato. Very well flavored broth was filled with seafood that was quite fresh tasting. No stench or unwanted chewiness. The soup is a large portion, so I didn't finish it in one sitting. I recommend a side of rice if you want to make it your entree. I am definitely coming back again to try more.

Three of us had dinner here last night, it is a smaller place and they obviously care about their food quality. We had a sampler app, plantains, and three different dinners, all of us really enjoyed our dinner and I would for sure go there again.

I have been here twice and both times the food was fresh and full of flavor. The only authentic Peruvian place I have found so far in OK. I brought a couple who had never had Peruvian and they both loved it. It's a must try!
