    I visited this restaurant on the last day before I left. They are loacated on a side road leading into the Plaza de arms. It was not crowded and service was slow.

    However they served a soup, main course and desert all for 6 soles. Also the meal was so filling as the portions were huge.

    They played Indian classical music that seemed to blend with the food. Its worth visting.

    Favorite Dish: The main course consistsed of a Veg curry that was make in a peruvian style meat based curry. Where the meat was substituted with soy. It was spicy and filling quantity.

    The suprising thing was that they had coffee/tea but did not have sugar substitute.

    This is a nice restaurant tucked away about 2 blocks from the main Plaza de arms that has a good selection of South Asian Food.

    There menu keeps varying and they have food from Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, India, Java etc.

    I had a selection of different kinds of food and most definitly one of the best tasting asian cusines in Cusco.

    Favorite Dish: Most definitly the cucumber with cold youghut was the best. It tases so good, very, very authentic Indian.

    Also the different flavoutful sauses and pickles were very savoury.

    Approx 10 to15 soles, very good food that was filling and flavourful.

    This place is a cute little restautant in front of the Cusco Cultural center(are something). Its only a block away from The Plaza de arms.

    I was craving for italian food and saw these beautify yellow colored awnings & curtains and decided to check it out. This was not listed in the LP guide book but decided to try it nevertheless. Was I in for a suprise.

    The guy who server was very pleasent and had good suggestions of their selection. I had the vegatable Lasagna which was special made extra spicy for me.

    Also he served me extra sauce with garlic bread, very good service with nice food.

    I sat inside to avoid kids from trying to seel me stuff ( if you sat at the outside tables)

    Favorite Dish: The garlic bread and the specially prepared spicy dipping sauce was out of this world.

    This is really a cafe rather than a restaurant. I decided to try this out for lunch as it was a sunday and they would be closed for dinner.

    I had a peruvian appatizer with a yellow sauce. I think it may have been made of Yuca. The main course was a spicy vegetarian curry with rice. This was very nice and filling.

    I had a generous serving of the tea to try and kill by altitude related head ache

    Favorite Dish: The veg curry is definitly the best choice.

    They do not speak much english, so just brush up you spanish if you want something custom prepared.

    This place has a very nice view of the Plaza from their restaurant. I decided to have the Buffet which was very pricy. They had a very large selection of different kinds of food. However me being a vegetarian my selection was limited.

    However the buffet include a drink(which I didn't have) as well as a wide selection of desert and coffee.

    Theye did have a live show but the main area of the restaurant was already full so I sat on the balcony and decide to enjoy the view instead.

    Favorite Dish: Nothing in particular the food was only average. I found it to be too pricy as compared to many other places.

    This was my first dinner in CUSCO so I did not know enough before I decided to eat in this restaturant
