Kantu Peruvian Cuisine
4.5 (1,151)restaurant
A welcoming Queens spot serving authentic Peruvian dishes, from flavorful lomo saltado to pitchers of chicha morada.
Description




The menu stretches from classic starters like papa a la huancaína and leche de tigre with raw crab leg to hearty mains. Dining here often revolves around the generous chicken combo, which comes with a signature yellow sauce, or plates of tallarines verdes. Portions are generally large, though the shredded hen lunch special offers a smaller, flavor-forward option. Dessert features a rich lúcuma tiramisu. The dining room is clean, spacious, and lively enough to draw Friday lunch crowds while maintaining a relaxed vibe.
