I first discovered Peruvian chicken a few years back in DC, and have had an eye out for it ever since. There is no set recipe for the dish, so it will vary depending on whose kitchen is preparing it. Mami Nora's cooks their bird over special charcoal, having first marinated it in a mixture of herbs and spices, some... More

The place was great and up there with any Peruvian chicken place I've ever eaten! I'm glad we have such an authentic place in Durham! More

Some said it looked like a hole in the wall with good food when I read other reviews. It was actually nicer than I expected. It's very clean, and decorated with a Latin style. The food was delicious. We ate very late after driving nine hours to get to Raleigh for a wedding. They were closing in 15 minutes, but... More

As others have said it's a bit of a hole in the wall. But as soon as we walked in we knew why this place is rated so high. Smells great and the food was great. Fast and cheap for what you get. 3 adults for under 30 bucks. I will be back! More

I went there with my family last night and it surpassed our expectations. We went to Peru last September and the food at Mama Nora's is the real Mcoy. More

I... More

This family is passionate about how they do things, clearly shown in their food. Some people don't get the concept of keeping it simple but Mamie Nora's does. They get to master what they do best. The chicken. Great music, makes you feel like you have stepped out of the country for a bit. More
