Eva' s kitchen - Hannover

I have eaten Peruvian for the first time and tried the Empanadas with Quinoa, which were very tasty. The main dish with tofu, vegetables, potatoes and rice has also tasted well, but it was not a new exotic taste experience. To drink we chose the apparently typical Peruvian chicha morada from purple corn, interesting, but in my opinion not particularly taste-intensive. The owner is nice and likes to explain the menu. Generally it seems to be a family restaurant that is lovingly furnished and offers an authentic, simple kitchen. I would recommend it especially for small things like Empanadas and less for exotic main dishes.

When I first visited „Evas kitchen“ I was disappointed that one of the 2 vegan empanada options was already sold out, as I wanted to order the „combination of 3 empanadas and a small mango salad“ they sell as main dish for € 15, and 3 empanadas of the same type felt like a bit too boring. So I went instead with a single Quinoa empanada their main vegan option) and as main dish the vegan „Rocoto especial“, € 15.90) a red pepper filled with quinoa and nuts, served with sides of boiled potatoes with a lightly) spicy sauce, mango salad and corn. This turned out to be a very lucky change of events, as the „Rocoto especial“ turned out to be delicious, actually one of the most tasty dishes I have had in a restaurant recently. According to Wikipedia , “Rocoto” is actually a Peruvian chili variety ten times spicier than jalapeño that is cooked in vinegar water to remove as much of the spicyness as possible so that it can be used in Spanish dishes requiring bell peppers not native to Peru), but I am pretty sure the restaurant just use regular non-spicy bell peppers in that dish. Nevertheless, it was delicious, and certainly a reason for me to go to this place again. The empanada, on the other hand, was a little bland, even though the spicy sauce that came with it made for a great contrast. Updated from previous review on 2023-07-22

We live in the countryside and drove to Hanover (90 km), because we are always looking for a good original Peruvian cuisine. After all, she goes as the best of South America. And the long way was worth it! Here the boss cooks himself, you can even look over the counter. It's all amazing. The restaurant is small and furnished in a cosy, rustic style. But the best thing is that there are really genuine Peruvian food, this is not one of these renovated Latino restaurants that blow up everywhere from the ground. This begins with the juices of fresh fruit (we had a delicious pineapple mango juice) and holds on the freshly prepared keviche, whose sauce has a fine sharpness. Spectacular! Also the filled empanadas (both quinoa, as well as minced meat), filled paprika and the excellent paprika Rellena were very delicious. We wanted to try a lot more, but unfortunately our stomach was not big enough We will certainly come back and recommend Eva in the circle of friends. Hasta pronto!

Only a wonderful joy for the palate, the eye and the ears! Very delicious, original Peruvian food, a small but fine and very lovingly decorated business and wonderful Peruvian music that goes into the ear! Absolutely recommended!

Very nice ambience, very delicious food and incredibly beautiful señoras really only for those who like to get to know the Peruvian food culture a little closer
