Panka Peruvian Cuisine will represent the Peruvian culture expressed through food, hospitality and a unique dining experience. Peru is a country that believes cooking is a way to show how much we care and love others. We also celebrate and find comfort around any kind of homemade meal. This is exactly what Panka will be; an atmosphere of warmth with decor encased in art from our culture with a modern take. Adding to the experience, our menu will bring those traditional dishes that are native to every Peruvian menu, as well as new interpretations of others traditional Peruvian favorites. We will bring our customer the experience of how Peruvians feel every day when they enjoy food with those close to them.

This is a very nice, contemporary restaurant that I visited with a group from out of town. WOW!! It was absolutely one of the best dining experience I’ve had in the last few years. The flavors are fresh, unique and definitely delicious. I wish I could give it 10 stars. ⭐️

Amazing! Tried all the appetizers and was very impressed. The entree was outstanding also. We will absolutely be back. They are now in our top three best restaurants in Des Moines.

Delicious food. Nice experience. Plenty of items on the menu so we will need to go back sometime. The dessert was very sweet. Would definitely recommend sharing if you don’t have a huge sweet tooth. It was good.

I had never tried Peruvian food before but I’m glad I tried it here! Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the restaurant is decorated very nicely. I had the lomo saltado for dinner and the Merengado De Lucuma for dessert and I loved them both. I will definitely be back!

Loved the food here! We saw plenty on the menu that we thought we’d like, but went with our server’s recommendations, as my husband and I aren’t familiar with Peruvian dishes. We both ate every speck on our plates, and then shared a dessert. Really enjoyed having something different to eat. I am sure foodies will like this place! We’ll be back!

Loved their food and atmosphere. Happy hour options were amazing and ran from 5-7pm. Loved their service. The items on the menu with asterisk meant they were popular. Perfect place for a date night!

I’m a notoriously picky eater and was nervous when I heard our group was going to Panka since I knew nothing about Peruvian food. I’m willing to try just about any food but I don’t typically like many new foods. I tasted everything that was offered and found everything to be delicious and flavorful and definitely not too spicy. I even loved the fried fish which never happens! Would go back and order anything off this menu without worry. They also had a wonderful choice of beautiful looking cocktails our group tried.
