Nestled along 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, Kausa brings the rich, multi-regional culinary heritage of Peru to Manhattan. Honoring traditional Andean and coastal recipes alongside Chifa (Peruvian-Chinese) fusion, the kitchen relies heavily on fresh, wild-caught Corvina, vibrant Leche de Tigre, citrus cures, and high-heat wok searing to craft authentic dishes.
Kausa balances an open, relaxed dining hall with a sleek cocktail bar serving handcrafted Pisco Sours and Latin-inspired cocktails. Warm wooden accents and vibrant lighting create a casual yet energetic environment, elevated by authentic Peruvian música criolla humming in the background. It is an inviting spot for both intimate late dinners and lively group gatherings after work.
Portions at Kausa lean notably generous, with main courses ($21–$34) easily structured for table sharing alongside appetizers like yuca or classic kausa terrines. For groups and family dining, the rotisserie chicken combos—ranging from the half-chicken Combito at $18.75 to the four-side Combo Killer feast at $43.00—deliver exceptional value for prime Midtown dining.
Seafood lovers and gluten-sensitive guests will find abundant options, as all traditional ceviches, tiraditos, and seafood stews (such as the Parihuela) are naturally gluten-free. Vegetarians can indulge in Chaufa Vegetariano or Tacu Tacu topped with wok-fried vegetables. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinners, though counter seating at the bar often accommodates walk-ins smoothly.
