Came in on Mother’s Day and Felipe took care of us, we had an amazing time and truly enjoyed our experience. Food was great, service was great, and parking was a breeze. What else do you need in Atlanta? I’ll definitely be back
I highly recommend Madre Selva—and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s one of the best restaurants in Atlanta. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is captivating: a perfect blend of modern sophistication and warm, inviting energy. Whether you're planning a romantic date night, a casual evening with friends, or a lively family gathering, Madre Selva sets the scene beautifully. But the real star of the show? The food. Every dish I tried was absolutely phenomenal. I sampled a range of appetizers, ceviches, and main courses—and not a single bite disappointed. Their ceviche, in particular, is hands down the best I’ve ever had. You can clearly taste the difference that fresh, high-quality ingredients make. Everything—from the artful presentation to the layers of bold, balanced flavors—makes for a truly memorable culinary experience. I especially recommend the Ceviche Carretillero, Lomo Saltado, and Paella Costa. Each dish was a harmonious mix of textures and flavors that came together in the most satisfying way. Madre Selva isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. I’m already looking forward to going back and exploring more of their menu.
Let’s cut to the chase – Madre Selva is the best Peruvian restaurant I’ve ever tried. Their ceviche is simply to die for. This is what we tried, in order of preference: Ceviche Carretillero (A): Simply amazing. So well marinated and beautifully paired with the sweet potato, Peruvian corns, and fried calamari Tuna Ceviche (A): Incredibly refreshing. The watermelon is a great touch Classic Ceviche (A): Loved the tangy “classic leche de tigre” sauce Yucas a la Huancaina (A): The best yucas ever. Crispy on the outside yet so soft in the inside, covered with a delicious “hauncaina” sauce Chaufa Aeropuerto (A): Great flavor. Chicken, shrimp, pork belly, and rice! Mocktails (A): Very good mocktails Octopus Anticuchero (A-): Very well marinated tender octopus Lomo Saltado (A-): Great beef tenderloin, yet the portion is a bit too small Jalea Mochica (B): Good, but not special. A bit dry Service (B-): Somewhat scattered and uneven We spent 524 for a 7-person meal, including a 22% tip (4 starters, 3 ceviches, 6 main entrees, 3 mocktails, sparkling and still water, no dessert, no alcohol). We loved Madre Selva and will be coming back!
Came for a brunch and the food was amazing. Had the classic ceviche and yucca. Our server Nate was very accommodating and handled a lot of our requests. Was able to recommend the dessert which was fantastic as well as the house special drink with gin that is honestly one of my favorite drinks! This place is super cute, live music, DJ and bongo player were going off at once and created a fun environment even though the weather was grey and rainy. If you want a girls lunch/brunch, then this is the spot. Also great outdoors when it’s sunny !
Madre Selva is a flavor-packed gem in Atlantic Station. The ceviche trio is a must-try, and the octopus was phenomenal—tender and full of bold, zesty flavor. I also loved the Inferno Chicken (spicy, juicy, amazing sauces) and the Chaufa Aeropuerto, which felt like an elevated chicken fried rice. Don’t skip dessert—the picarones and ice cream were both excellent. Drinks-wise, the original Pisco Sour was my favorite; the passionfruit one could use a little more punch. Service was great, and I loved the hand-washing station at the entrance—very thoughtful. The only downside was the heat inside—it was way too hot, which took away from the otherwise great vibe. Fans or AC would make a huge difference, especially going into summer. Still, the food is 100% worth coming back for. Next time, I’ll sit at the bar!
Just left - What an absolute gem of a place! This was such a vibe. We had heard from many friends that we had to give it a try, and couldn’t agree more. Being Peruvian, this is truly the best in Atlanta. The ceviche was fresh & everything we ordered was delicious. Lina, our server, was incredible - attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend to everyone as a must-try!
The food was exceptional, perfectly balanced flavors and the kind of dishes that leave you wanting more, even when you’re full. The place is beautiful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cocktails and wine were 10/10. And the service was the cherry on top , from the hosts at the entrance to our server RJ, everyone was kind and attentive. I’d definitely come back. Thank you for a delicious dinner
Every time I visit a Peruvian restaurant I order a classic ceviche, lomo saltado and jalea de mariscos. We ordered the three plates and they were amazing. The ceviche was my favorite. You can taste the freshness of the fish and a very balanced leche de Tigre. The jalea and the lomo saltado were also amazing. The ceviche bar is incredible. Looking forward for my next visit definitely next time will get the ceviche carretillero, it seem To be one of the most popular dishes at Madre Selva.
