Chakana in Moseley was included in the Michelin guide, which underlines the amazing standards that the place keeps up to. Food critic Jay Rayner visited the restaurant in 2021. 
 
Rayner called the Peruvian eatery a “genuinely exciting restaurant”. He wrote that the Andean potato stew rocked him back in his seat. 

“It is another head-turning beauty: a heap of buttercup-yellow potatoes, dried and smoked, are dotted with cubes of purple potato, and laid with green leaves, deep red flowers and black grapes. I expect it to be one of those hugely comforting, solid adventures in carbs, but there is so much more going on here. It is a journey into the savoury.”
