We were here on a Friday night and absolutely loved it! The vibe, decor, everything. Drinks and tapas were amazing too. Thank you to Kinga for looking after us throughout the night! We will be back! Customer service 10/10
I am a vegetarian, yet enjoyed every bite of the food here! So glad I came here on my last day in London

THE MOOD: A easy to reach location in Piccadilly and a little hidden away between two commercial properties so you may walk past without realisation of the great food inside. Coya serves up a number of Peruvian sharing plates.
The decor does not really shout out and less pretentious than some other venues so you will always feel comfortable.
THE FOOD: The set lunch menu is a deal at £28.00 per person for two courses but you do choose two items from the first section and then one main from the next.
The journey began with the Ensalade de Quinoa (Quina, coriander, mint, pomegranate) which had a real sharpness to the dressing and a really good dish to cleanse the pallet and also the portion was big enough to also have as an accompaniment to the main. Followed by the Anticucho de Pollo (2 Chicken skewers, ahi amarillo, garlic) were cooked well and a really pleasant marinade not too much to overpower the chicken but just the right balance.
We also had the Berenjena (Japanese aubergines, miso, sesame) cooked to perfection with a nice crispiness.
The final accompaniment we had was the broccoli which was to die for
The main course I opted for the beef and I was glad I did. Given the lunch time deal I was surprised by the portion size and although there was some fat and not the best cut of beef I have had the marinade was at the top of my list.
Even though this was a lunch with sharing plates still ended up spending around 2-3 hours and time flew past but still could not finish all the food.
A great selection of desserts was beckoning me but I was too full to try but next time I will not leave without trying as I could see a few on the list I would love to try.
THE DRINK: Now as I personally do not drink means I may not be the best to advice on this but I do try to take someone along who does and likes seafood more than me so I am able to give a more rounded review. However on this occasion no one was in the mood to drink (heavy night before I was told) but luckily Coya has three non-alcholic cocktails and one I have had before I thought I would try again to check its consistency. So I ordered the Inti - which consists of passion fruit and pineapple with vanilla syrup and coconut purée. - This is probably on of the best non alcoholic drinks I have had and such a great blend of refreshing flavours. Coconut hint which leaves the perfect amount of aftertaste and when you don’t usually like coconut but love this it is a testimony to the mixologist. Consistent from the last time and the only difference it this time it was served in a simple tall glass and last time I was given a decorative container. There was an extensive wine menu however.
THE VERDICT: A fantastic place to each to share or not to share. Good selection of food including many seafood items as well as a selection of vegetarian as well as beef and chicken. The sharing portions are a good size and so will be looking to visit again but I would advise booking in advance as it seems the venue is always busy.
THE BILL: This came to £125.00 for two with just two non-alcoholic cocktails. So i would say on the high side of things for a lunch.
