So we had eaten on the main strip for the past 2 days. I was tired of it. Over priced pasta and burgers and drinks. The same boring American food I can get back home. So we hit up trip advisor to try something local. This place sounded great and was priced right. We head in but waited about 10... More

Keep in mind that to me, when it comes to the restaurant, food comes first and decor comes second. From the outside, it looks like a regular diner. However, the food there is so tasty and has a lot of variety. Try their papaya milk. It is delicious. The price is very reasonable. Their portion is kind of large, so... More

Went here based upon TA and Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was that the decore is slightly dinerish, but the food and service were fantastic. We had the freshest Ceviche and the fish we both had for ths main course was great. I had the Pescado tropical which... More

We were visiting some friends in Miami Beach And decided to try a reataurant not in the s.beach hub bub. The idea a trying a new type of ethnic food also motivated us to try Chalan. We were very happy with our meal. The food was delicious and fresh. The wait staff made suggestions for us to try some new... More

We were looking for something ethnic and different from food we usually go out for at home. Great food here and such nice people. Their ceviche is awesome! And so is the very hot green sauce!

Stopped here to wait out the rain (based on Tripadvisor ratings). My husband had yucca in a cheese sauce - excellent. I had cerviche my first time so i cannot compare to others but I loved it - shrimp octupus and squid. I asked for mild and the level of spiceness was perfect. It came with sweet potatoes and pervuian... More

Good seafood served in large portions. Other "home style" Peruvian dishes. Casual atmosphere, ok service, reasonable prices. This review is short because the place does not merit much more of a review. Nothing to complain about, nothing to write home about. Do I recommend it? Yeah, sure, never had bad food there!!

Chalan, on Washington and 16th, serves fresh fish, ceviches, and meat dishes at reasonable prices. Nothing fancy, but always packed. Try the tacu-tacu with lomo salteado

We went to this Peruvian restaurant during our Miami trip. Its just walking distance from the Lincoln road mall area. The place is small with less than 100 seating capacity but the food was out of the world. We went back for dinner next day and then again day after. The waitress was very kind in describing each and every... More

My wife and I were in Miami Beach last week as exhibitors at the Miami International Boat Show. After a LOOONNGG day at the show, we were anxious for good food, served quickly. Chalan did not disappoint us! We were seated immediately, although the place was almost full. Our server brought us drinks immediately. Our entrees were on the table... More
