Kantu Peruvian Cuisine Restaurant is a gem in Forest Hills, Queens, noted for its beautiful and cozy interiors and modern vibe. The atmosphere is relaxed at first, but large groups can make it noisy later in the evening. Service is generally friendly and efficient, though some guests felt it was lacking attention, such as missing water refills. The menu offers a range of Peruvian dishes. Ceviche is consistently praised as great and perfectly acidic, with a slight citrusy note that some find a bit too sharp. Seafood dishes are fresh, well seasoned, and flavorful, and the $10 cocktails during the all‑day happy hour on Thursdays are a highlight. Lomo saltado and rice dishes receive mixed reviews; the former can be disappointing compared to Manhattan spots, while the latter is just okay. Desserts are a mixed bag: churros are popular but often sold out, cookies are dry, and other sweets are enjoyable. The grilled chicken can be dry, whereas steak is best when cooked medium‑rare. Overall, guests enjoy the food, friendly staff, and spacious setting, and many plan to return for another meal.
