Jarana takes its name from the Peruvian word for celebration, and the Aventura location sits just outside Aventura Mall as the second outpost of a Peruvian restaurant concept from Acurio International. Corporate executive chef Jesus Delgado, who came up through Acurio's kitchens in Lima and Chicago, developed the menu for the brand.
The food moves between Peruvian staples and Nikkei touches: chicken causa, chaufa topped with a runny shrimp omelet, and crisp tuna wantacos built on wonton shells. Picarones finished with fig syrup close things out.
The dining room leans colorful, built around a large abstract mural made of chain links and layered with textile patterns, with a pisco bar pouring classic and original cocktails alongside the food.
