Tu Casa in Kew Gardens really lives up to its name because the staff makes you feel right at home. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, especially our server Jannette, who was so kind, attentive, and always checking in on us. The … More

Food was great, we went during lunch and it was nice and quiet. The place is huge, very clean, and well maintained. Our server was super attentive and kind, which made the experience even better. Portion sizes were generous and the food quality was excellent.
The only downside was that gratuity was automatically included in the bill. The menu notes this for parties of six or more, but I prefer tipping cash directly to the server, so the automatic charge was a bit disappointing. Overall, still a very good experience and solid lunch spot.

So upon arriving we were seated next to the door and obviously felt cold every time the door opened. There were other seats available so not sure why they weren't a little more considerate to seat us more inside. The waiter disappeared for a while before coming back to take our order. It was after 10pm and not much people there. The Coconut Mojito was delicious. The food was good and flavorful. The tres leches cake was also very good. Overall good food, a little pricy for the neighborhood, and very slow service when not very busy (can't imagine what it's like on a busy night).

This was my first time ordering from here and it was a great experience. Very nice Peruvian cuisine and food. The food I ordered cane out fresh and fast today. Ordered the Salchipapas and the Chicken stew, came at a low price! Inside the restaurant is decorative, clean and very nice. I will be returning to this location again soon.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend of mine and decided to order take out. He placed the order for the both of us. His food was better than mine and here is the proof that I ordered the Ensalada Con Aguacate (Salad with Avocado). The avocado was turned over so you could not see the bad part on the salad. I turned it over to my horror and it was not edible. Restaurant wants the public to dine out and this what you get served with bad food. No recommendation from me because food is more expensive and we are paying to eat crappy food. The restaurant that does this to the public needs to be out of business. To make matters worse the young lady came to our table and abruptly dropped the bags on the table with an attitude. Management needs to retrain their staff on how to deal with the public in a respectful manner. Next stop is the department of health to do an health inspection of the business.

The best tasting Peruvian cuisine on this side of town. Came here with a few friends we were greeted and seated immediately Sir Manuel G took care of us .The food took some time to come out but when it did it was slamming. The dishes were very well put together. I had the Bistec steak with rice and beans the steak was thinly sliced and cooked to perfection. My only complaint is the service I had to ask a few times for my drinks and I ordered a dessert it never came however I understand they might be a little busy and wait times may vary.

Your typical Peruvian restaurant with run of the mill service. We didn’t have a reservation but didn’t have to wait to be sat down. We ordered ceviche to share and two entrees. The ceviche was fine. The spaghetti was a bit salty for my taste. The meat in the lomo saltado was very chewy and tough. We had to wait a while and search for our waitress. Seems like they were short staffed. This place is okay. They need to improve the quality of dishes served and customer service to match the prices on their menu.

As a Peruvian, I consider myself very demanding when it comes to eating at a restaurant. Why? Because Peruvians know their food by heart ❤️ we know how every single dish must be concocted.
When it comes to flavor, we don't forgive anyone, and we're straightforward with our reviews!
Today, I stopped by Tu Casa, and I ate a few dishes like Lomo de Pollo and Pollo a la Brasa.
Lomo de pollo 5 🌟 All the flavors were there! It was delicious and succulent! This dish goes well with the semi spicy green sauce.
Thank you!
Pollo a la Brasa was served 🔥 but it could be prepared better! 3 out of 5 🌟
I have never seen a restaurant's restroom 🚻 so sharp and clean! Wow... I'm impressed!

Regular customer! This is one of my go to restaurants for Peruvian food! It is very very good food! Drinks are equally as great. The staff here is very friend and attentive. During the weekends, they do have live music which is very nice but does make it hard to have a conversation during dinner! Highly recommend! More

Great spot to grab lunch or dinner. Service was quick and waitress was kind. Food was delicious. We ordered the sangria, it wasn't watered down, which was good. I would pass on the desserts next time, not very flavorful.
