We have dined in and also have gotten takeout from here. Both experiences went above and beyond. The food was excellent and was some of the best Peruvian food I’ve ever had. Everything had a ton of flavor and the portions were enormous. The food takes a little bit longer than normal, but that’s only because they are literally making it from scratch. You can tell that every dish has a lot of love and care put into it, from the quality of the food to the presentation. The drinks were also delicious. The service was also amazing, as the staff were always attentive and friendly. This is a family run business and you can tell with how warm the atmosphere is and how friendly the staff is. We can’t wait to come back for more. If you’re on the fence for this restaurant, you need to try it!

While searching for Peruvian restaurants online, we came across Qhali Restaurant ♥️ don’t let the location or the restaurant size fool you… this small in size gem of restaurant is by far the best Peruvian food we have ever had! Family oriented, cozy warm environment, super clean and the staff gets 10/10 in attention to details, courtesy, accommodation and caring! Big portions, we had the traditional Peruvian beer and pineapple cocktail drink 😋 which were super flavorful! Appetizers we got the traditional ceviche (very fresh and tasty) and the beef and shrimp carnitas also delicious!! The seafood paella was full of seasoning and lots of seafood (we couldn’t finish) and for dessert we had the flan and cookies! Overall we were pleasantly surprised with the delicious flavors and the outstandin

We took a chance on Qhali because the waterfront restaurants in Bristol were all full on a beautiful Saturday evening. What a great decision it was! The food was outstanding! We had two different types of ceviche, one of which was probably the most flavorful I have ever tasted. My children loved the empanadas. The original Peruvian cocktail was refreshing and interesting. Also, Vanessa the owner was very generous, welcoming, and informative in spending time with us answering questions about the food and the restaurant. She is an amazing woman. Our family definitely plans to visit her other restaurant closer to our home in East Boston soon.

If you are in Rhode Island and want to take a quiet drive to try some good food, drive to Qhali in Bristol. The owner is such an amazing host and educates you in the ingredients and the craft that goes behind every dish. She’s such a believer in super foods that are healthy and good for you gut and system. Also, she got awarded for it! She made me excited about my culture and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again.

Unbelievably delicious. I cannot believe I didn’t discover this place sooner. It’s so hard to eat out on a Monday & I had no idea I could be going to this incredible spot the whole time!!! So impressed with the food, service and drinks. Super authentic food and very knowledgeable staff, which is so important to someone like me who has to be very careful with what they eat. Thanks for an incredible time Qhali!
