Peruvian Comfort Food Meets Shrimp Ceviche In Forest Hills
Eat empanadas, lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa at a cozy Queens spot with a broad Peruvian menu.
🍽️ More Than Roast Chicken
Forest Hills has a Peruvian comfort food detour on Austin Street, and Amar Peruvian Kitchen NY gives you plenty of ways to make a meal of it. The family run kitchen moves from empanadas and tamales to chicharrón sandwiches, with lomo saltado and shrimp ceviche widening the options beyond roasted chicken.
Take the pollo a la brasa combo when the table wants a fuller spread. It comes with rice, beans, plantains and salchipapas, putting several sides into one order. Start elsewhere with shrimp ceviche, or look to empanadas and tamales for more Peruvian specialties.
The setting is cozy and neighborhood minded, with attentive service adding to the welcome. Keep Mondays clear of the plan. The kitchen serves Tuesday through Sunday, with opening hours running from late morning into the evening. For a Queens meal with room for seafood, sandwiches and roasted chicken, this Austin Street kitchen covers plenty of ground.
