QHALI — Restaurant in Bristol

While searching for Peruvian restaurants online, we came across Qhali Restaurant ♥️ don’t let the location or the restaurant size fool you… this small in size gem of restaurant is by far the best Peruvian food we have ever had! Family oriented, cozy warm environment, super clean and the staff gets 10/10 in attention to details, courtesy, accommodation and caring! Big portions, we had the traditional Peruvian beer and pineapple cocktail drink 😋 which were super flavorful! Appetizers we got the traditional ceviche (very fresh and tasty) and the beef and shrimp carnitas also delicious!! The seafood paella was full of seasoning and lots of seafood (we couldn’t finish) and for dessert we had the flan and cookies! Overall we were pleasantly surprised with the delicious flavors and the outstanding service provided to us! If you are looking for delicious food, plenty of parking and a small cozy restaurant with tons of delicious options, give them a try 🤗 you will not be disappointed!! We will be back...

After reading the rave reviews about the ones people ordered from here for Thanksgiving, I was excited to see them post pie offerings for Christmas on 12/21. Within an hour of their post, I checked with the guests coming for dinner and we decided to order the lemon custard pie. I called and placed my order to be picked up on Sunday 12/24 between 11 am and 2 pm. I arrived around noon to get my pie and they didn't have it, nor did they have any order placed by me. I hoped them my text exchange about which pie to get and my phone record showing when I called the restaurant and how long my call was for. I was the only patton in the restaurant and they went back and forth several times locking in the cooler, to no avail. Finally, I was told I could buy a banana cream pie instead. Seeing as none of us care for banana cream, that was not an option. To say I was quite dissatisfied is putting it mildly. Bad enough to not have my order, but to question me as to did I order it...

I went here to celebrate my birthday. What a huge mistake this was !! The server spoke 0 English and unfortunately I speak zero Spanish, so ordering was a bit challenging. My wife ordered the octopus dish, and I ordered the seafood paella. The octopus came with fried corn, fried potatoes and sauce on the side. The octopus was as tuff as leather and all was unpleasantly greasy. The paella was more like a risotto than a paella. It had 2 mussels and 1 tiny shrimp, and a few pieces of thinly sliced pork, and was very fishy tasting. Which was surprising considering it hardly had any seafood in it. I complained to the waiter that our food was unedible and after talking with his co worker said that he wouldn’t charge for the octopus dish. I was still left with paying for my dish, which I barely had 2 bites of.

Very very...
