Kantu Peruvian Cuisine - Peruvian Near Me - Queens, New York

See all

After experiencing the food delights of Astoria and Flushing, I was sorry to see the limited dining choices when I first moved to Middle Village. Then Kantu opened, and what a game-changer it's been! Finally, a nice restaurant with healthy options. Some of my favorites are the Chilcano soup, avocado and quinoa salad, the arroz chaufa with beef, the roasted chicken, and the beans. Their beans are not made with any animal products, and yet they are so delicious... But the food is only part of what brings me back to Kantu. The owner and her staff have always been friendly, kind, and professional toward me. I've now been a regular customer of Kantu for at least 3 years, so I rarely have to tell the staff how I want my food prepared - they already know! Whether you speak English or Spanish, the folks at Kantu will treat you well. read more

I have ordered from this restaurant numerous times before and their recipes are flavorful than most. The reason for one star is their complete dishonesty. I ordered the Entrana a la Parrilla (10 oz. skirt steak) for $35. The container was not closed properly and everything spilled out into the bag. I called the restaurant and was told they could only credit me $20 because Grubhud added $15 on their normal price for service charge. I called Grudhub and explained the situation.  The Grubhub representative explained that they did not add a service fee of $15 fee on the skirt steak and explained that it was the restaurant who dictated the menu prices. The Grubhub representative then called the restaurant. According to the Grubhub representative, the person at the restaurant said that is not what they told me about the Grubhub fee, they never said they would credit $20, and that their charge for the skirt steak was $35. (Also note on their physical menu the skirt steak is priced at $27). I never expected such dishonesty. Grubhub also checked the pricing and noted that the restaurant was not being honest. Grubhub did refund me the $35. I will never support this restaurant again. Be sure to check the prices of the item with the actual menu prices, call the restaurant to ask. Then call Grudhub and ask about restaurant fees if there are any discrepancies. It's a lot of work, but this particular restaurant, among many others, has excessively raised their prices on the home delivery app to cheat consumers who are supporting them, during this coronavirus pandemic. Notably, GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates and Uber Eats were named in a class-action lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court that alleges price gouging during the coronavirus pandemic as well as before. Therefore, there is now some caution of the service fees these food delivery apps are imposing on the restaurants. I did report the price gouging to the State's Attorney General office.  I completed the online form in which I explained the scenario thoroughly and completely. I took snapshots of the menu prices and the prices on Grubhub.  If you are going to take advantage of the consumers who are supporting your business and lie to them, you should not be in business. Everyone is out to make money, more than ever these days; ordering out has become a luxury. Since a lot of the pricing is passed onto the consumer, every effort should be made on protecting yourself and calling these business's out on their wrong doings. read more

What was once a good restaurant became horrible. Covid being no excuse. They get your order wrong, the chicken is as dry as a bone and when i called to complain, the rude girl in there hung up on me!!! When I walked there, and asked her why she hung up on me, she said she was busy. Busy?!! There was no one in there! And that is no excuse anyway. I was a good customer for many years. No more! Rude, disrespectful and nasty. read more

I love this amazing restaurant! The food and customer service are incredible! I highly recommend Leche de Tigre and arroz con mariscos just love it! read more

That is one of the Best Peruvian restaurants have dine in so far they have a good pruvian casquena beer good foods and side dishes I highly recommend this place and give it an 8.2 rating read more

Good restaurant. Great food so far. Great service. The Peruvian brunch is good but will be better if they offer also natural juices. I tried also the rostissiere chicken and the portions are big and the spicy sauce delicious. The " alfajores " are really good too. Only issue that they need to improve is to get an air conditioner. 100 % recommend! read more

Amazing food and very friendly people. Don't let the size of the place fool you. Totally recommend trying their Lomo Saltado and Tacu Tacu rice! Unbelievably good. read more

I got the parihuela soup must say it's amazing but I ordered a causa and it was super small filled with tons of onions you would think for it being based on a potato dish they wouldn't be so cheap with their serving portion highly disappointed. I also ordered their anticuchos and their portion size was a joke it was super dry flavorless and burnt. Super disappointed but atleast the soup was good and worth the price. Probably the only thing I'll order again from here. read more

Kantu Peruvian Cuisine - Anticuchos - Peruvian Near Me - Queens, New York

The food is okay, a mixed seafood Chaufa has three shrimp and chewy Calamari. For the amount of money we paid, I expected delicious food. I am so disappointed because Peruvian food is one of my favorites. I tend to order from Maca but my husband wanted to try Kantu, he will be sleeping on the couch tonight. read more

The best of the best in Peruvian food excellent service in a family atmosphere. Live music Excellent Food Delicious cocktails read more

Delivery was punctual & the food was delicious. Trays were nicely filled & even had enough for leftovers. Highly recommend.

Great food. Ceviche was great. If you go on tuesdays and Wednesday's you can save a little money.

I ordered Kantu Peruvian Cuisine through Postmates and was not disappointed. I'm of Peruvian decent so I know good and authentic Peruvian food when I taste it. I ordered the 1/2 of rotisserie chicken and fries along with the Inca Cola, so satisfying! I believe a few years ago I went here and had the Peruvian stir-fry rice and the rotisserie chicken. Will definitely come back and as well order to-go. read more

This place is amazing they have great seafood and great french fries and great calamarai and there bathrooms are not too dirty. There ice cream taste great it taste like bubble gum. this review was written my 8 year I'd (full disclosure ) We all loved this place. read more

Nothing spectacular about the food, service is ok, but is getting really hard to find a good ( not even great) Peruvian restaurant in queens. I guest i will keep looking for real Peruvian food. read more

Very disappointed, a friend recommended this place, it took an hr on a Sunday to get me the food I ordered to take out. They charge tax when you use your card also. The girl was rude. Upon arriving, I sat down and told the waiter that I knew I was a little early and so I would sit and wait, she heard me looked over and said "I told you it would be 30 min". I thought that was rude since I wasn't rushing anyone. I had made it clear I would sit and wait. But it wasn't even 30 min. It was exactly an hr from the time I called. The containers with food are half packed half empty. read more

Been here many times. And I could say that every time I order food here, it never disappoints me. I really recommend ceviche de pescado, salmón a la parrilla, lomo saltado(my favorite dish), pulpo a la parrilla, caldo de gallina, along with others. It's all very good and the prices are totally worth the dish. The service is outstandingly good, and the place is well decorated, with beautiful paintings and objects imported straight from Peru!! read more

The flavors here are great. Exactly what I expected. The service was also good. We went with a party of 8 and the server didnt even write down our order but got everything right. I'm very impressed. The only thing i wasn't too impressed with was the shrimp in garlic sauce. There could have been more garlic flavor. Everything else was good. We will definitely be going back! read more

TERRIBLE ordering experience! We placed the order 5:40pm and called the restaurant after an hour and was told our order is still in process (not made) and should be there in 40 mins (ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ) - at this point we decided to wait. Wait wait...then guess what..our food still not here after ANOTHER hour! Tried to call the restaurant and got all the busy tone, and contact the delivery site, and they said they also got busy tone..FINALLY AFTER 2 HOURS and 20 MINS our food is here. NEVER AGAIN. Worst ever!!!! read more

What a nice surprise!!! I went out looking for a good lunch option today, and This little peruvian restaurant kept my attention. The restaurant is very clean. The service was very very very good. And the Lomo saltado just perfectly served with a little delicious soup. I can't wait to bring my wife and my daughter. There.... read more

I really love this place. The staff is amazing. They are very welcoming. I am relatively new to Peruvian cuisine. But, I'm really enjoying it, so far. I eat everything, but I've come here with my vegetarian. They offer options 4 both. Lots of avocado. I love avocado. I got avocado with tostones. Perfect. Simple, but delicious. Crispy tostones, and fresh avocado. I've had their empanada. I've tried empanada from several different countries. I don't know, what makes it Peruvian style, but I know I loved it. The ceviche was so fresh, perfect 4 summer. So much lime, and crunchy concha. The seafood soup is so filling, a large portion. Kinda pricey, but enough to take home. There a few different soups. I got the spicy one. But, you can't go wrong with any. The octopus/pulpo also amazing. I haven't tried any steak or beef dishes, but I c; happily work through their menu. When I dined in, I got Sangria pitcher. They have red and white. I've only tried Red. Really fruity and I taste the brandy! Also love The passion fruit mojito . They have great MOCKTAILS too. For dessert, I've had tres leches, my favorite cake. When I leave, I make sure to take home the Alfajores cookies. I like that theirs are smaller in size. Perfect amount of dulce in their cookie. You should visit, Kantu. Might be different 4 this area; but anyone could enjoy this! I was nervous 4 my nephew, but he had the famous hotdog dish. read more

Just went there last weekend at the suggestion of friends. Food was terrific. Staff was warm, friendly and attentive. Pleasant setting. Best Peruvian food I have had. I will definitely go again!!! read more

I'm always on the lookout for new Peruvian restaurants, so I stopped by and ordered a jalea, tiradito, and choros a la chalaca. All delicious, my personal favorite was the jalea. It's hard to find Peruvian restaurants that offer consistently good variety but this is one of them. read more

The food was horrible...we ordered Papa a la Huancaina not edible sauce was horrible the de aguadito de pollo was tasteless...wasted 30 dollars read more

The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. It is a tad hot as their is no air conditioning only celling fans.

Horrible experience ordering food from there. My coworkers and I made a simple order and received only 1/3 of it. I called and explained this to them and they swore they delivered it. The delivery guy probably gave the other 2/3 to another customer but they still refused to fix our problem. We had already paid for it on CC. They suck!!!!! read more

It was okay I don't think the food was worth the what we were charged. Sangria was okay-I've never had fruit cocktail in my sangria before! Three stars because our server was a very welcoming gentleman. Unfortunately, not everyone working at the restaurant was as nice. The girl that seated us (young with glasses) is rude and actually ignored us when we tried to ask her for utensils or extra napkins because our server had stepped away. They also had the AC off on a hot and muggy day. When we asked to have it on of course our server immediately turned it on but rude girl with glasses went on and on about how cold it was and why did they turn it on. Meanwhile my husband and I were wiping sweat from our faces with the extra napkins she pretended not to hear us ask for. read more

We ordered for delivery and this place is great! We ordered the Kantu combo that came with whole chicken, fried rice, & salad. We also added Maduros and a Seafood Jalea. Food came in about 30min. Salad was huge and had like 2 avocados in there and portions were generous. Chicken was fall of the bone juicy and they give you lots of green sauce too! Will definitely order from them again. read more

Came here with my wife and oldest daughter. Service was excellent. I had the tenderloin with tacu tacu. I enjoyed it very much. My wife and daughter enjoyed their dishes as well. read more

For starters there was no air conditioning being used which made it a little uncomfortable. The service was slow but I didn't mind that as I like to sit. Pulpo was raw. Couldn't eat it. Fried rice was good. Ceviche was a tad raw and not enjoyable. My fiancé got a salmon dish which was very good. Nice size portions. I got the quinoa salad which was very tasty but seemed like it could have been marinating for some time (maybe even since the day before) as the cucumbers and tomatoes were a little soft. I also got a side of yuca fries which were good. I like that they don't add salt so you can add your own. Over all It wasn't a bad meal but I wouldn't return. read more

I was looking for a new Peruvian restaurant to try and so I did . However, the food is ok, would I try it again? Maybe

Great addition to Middle Village. Enjoyed everything from the spicy ceviche mix to the tender lomo saltado. The best part was the pisco sours and chocolate tres leche cake. Service was good and the place was warm and inviting. Will definitely be back. read more

I was greeted with a glass of sangria and when I received my meal it was absolutely delicious. Everything from the seasonings to the sauces !!! The yuca fries and plantains AMAZING! I will definitely be coming back ! read more

If we had -5 that's what I would have rated the food. Ordered grilled octopus and it was super rubbery. The hot sauce that was on the plate was a shot of vinegar with hot sauce mixed. The Peruvian Mojito had so much mint I didn't enjoy it. Ordered another entree but it just wasn't worth it. read more

Walked into to a new opening of a Peruvian restaurant expecting the usual saturated Peruvian cuisine shot to death with lack of flare and passion , starting off free white sangria .... dope not bad to be honest , on the anticuchos cooked medium served on the cast iron skillet , nice very flavorful , crema de roccotto potatos lacked flavor and seasoning ok at best , ceviche mixto was good but the corn and potato were hot instead of cold and I honestly think the portion should be larger it's a new restaurant might as well go hard get people in the door , overall it's was pleasant and good I just hope the other menu items are as pleasing read more

So yummy. Its odd to say the food I order is never what I picture in my head from the menu description, but it is always so good. Also, they never seem to mind when our toddlers are... Let's say... Expressing themselves loudly. Great sangria too! read more

We have been here twice for brunch and ordered delivery once. All three times it was great. Delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommended! read more
