Small restaurant with limited seating. Make a reservation. If you would like to try Peruvian food for the first time or if you love Peruvian food this is the place to dine. It's the real deal. Service is excellent and every person working in this restaurant is friendly and extremely honest and helpful when recommending dishes. Ceviche as an app is a great choice. Order the grilled calamari and you may never eat fried calamari again. Seafood dishes are prepared with fresh sea to table catches. Tremendous dish: Skirt steak topped with seafood. Full bar. Great Sangria! read more

Came in for a quick lunch on the way back from the beach. Order anticuchos, ceviche mixto and a grilled skirt steak. Feeling like a high protein lunch after a day at the beach. The skirt steak is served on a sizzling olate with a roasted potato, the ceviche mixto was perfect to share it ln the table and the anticucho were perfectly grilled . Did not order rice instead we shared a salad with avocados and tomatoes whichbwas very good. The waiter did tell is about the lunch special which is $15 per person but we politely declined and ordered ala carte. read more

Food was excellent, but the volume of the music was so loud I could barely hear myself think. The pisco sour was very good, but cost almost as much as my ceviche meal, which was very inexpensive for what you get. The service was spotty because there were so many customers. All in all I would go back for the ceviche again, but I think I would wear ear plugs. read more

This is a fun place with great Peruvian food. The vibe is really upbeat with the colorful decor matching the revelry of the room when the karaoke DJ is doing his thing. The food is delicious - large portions and fresh flavors. Prices are reasonable considering the quality. Our servers were friendly and attentive to our needs. Overall a must go to if you're in the area. read more

Came back again with my girlfriend for dinner tonight. We started with the mixed seafood ceviche. Ordered it spicy and it was excellent! The fish and seafood were fresh and tasty, the lime juice sauce was so flavorful with a really nice cake! Couldn't get enough of this! For dinner, She ordered the pesto pasta octopus. The pesto pasta was fantastic. Really flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I personally didn't think the octopus was that good. Although it was cooked well and had a nice jar, I just didn't really like it and I love octopus. My girlfriend liked it though. I ordered the garlic shrimp with white rice. Shrimp will cook perfectly, a very nice garlicky sauce but not too overpowering. Service was great as usual! I will double down, don't come here on a Saturday night and sit inside as the karaoke is ridiculously loud. If that's what you're looking for, come and enjoy! For us, we luckily got a table outside and only had to deal with the screaming when the door would open.. read more

Came here for an event and I must say it's up there on my list of Peruvian spots in Long Island. The shrimp ceviche was delicious! I couldn't get enough of it. The Lomo Saltado was absolutely amazing, 10/5 I could eat this everyday. My boyfriend enjoyed his dishes, I don't remember the name of the appetizer but it was like a chicken salad - he enjoyed that very much. Then he ordered the bistec and he absolutely loved it as well as the dessert. The customer service was great, our waitress was very attentive. The ambiance was amazing, the restaurant is so lively, they had a live singer and he was great. We will definitely be back! read more

Ananau is one of my favorite restaurants on Long Island. The food is great, the prices are very reasonable, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. Delicious entrees I can vouch for include the fish topped with shrimp and their special sauce, the chicken stew, and the arroz con mariscos (Peruvian paella). Their tres leches is amazing, and they make an excellent classic mojito. On Friday nights there's live music; on Saturday night there's karaoke. Giant televisions on the walls play great music and dancing and sports. Try it. You'll love it, along with the many who've already discovered its charms. read more

Perfect place for large gathering and enjoy very good Peruvian food! The service was very good! I enjoyed the live music

I love this little restaurant right by Costco Oceanside. The food is authentic and good. Service is on par also. We started with the ceviche, anticuchos and papa. The anticuchos (grilled beef heart) is one of the best I had. Tons of flavor and nice char to the meat. Tender and juicy. The table devoured it! The ceviche was fresh and had a nice tang. Perfect with a bit of the spicy red sauce they provided. The jalea and TALLARINES VERDES was also perfect. The only thing that was meh was the shrimps. Not that it was bad but the other stuff we ordered was so flavorful and fresh, it just did not compare. We also found that they have lunch specials so make sure to ask when you are there. read more

Food is ABSOLUTELY incredible!! This restaurant is a hidden gem. The staff and service is always wonderful. They treat you like family. Cocktails are delicious and the ambiance is so fun. Best Peruvian restaurant on Long Island. We've been going for years. read more

Everything excellent. Can't wait to go back Service quality and most of all flavors were great read more

We tried this for the first time a few months ago. Don't expect rotisserie chicken! They do a fried chicken but I wasn't a fan of it. This is a personal opinion that may be biased as I love rotisserie and not fried. However, I do recommend their chaufa! The chicken/beef chaufa is absolutely tasty with loads of flavor and is a very hefty portion. Service is absolutely the best and the wait staff was very patient with us as it was our first time there. read more

I've eaten in many Peruvian restaurants in NY. Pio-Pio, La Candela 1 and 2, La Jalea and others. This place, ANANAU...BEATS THEM ALL!! The food is delicious and the drinks, specially the Passion Mojito and the Sangria are very tasty and made to perfection. I highly recommend it. Special thanks to our server, Manuela. She was very serviceable and attentive. Also the rest of the staff which were also checking to see if we needed anything when Manuela was unavailable. That's great Service!!! read more

Today is officially #ThankYouThursday so I'd like to thank Ananau Peruvian Cuisine for an incredible dining experience this past Saturday. I came here on a complete whim with the girlfriend and was absolutely blown away by the shere energy of the place. From the outside, it appears as a quaint, unassuming little Peruvian joint, but as you step foot in the door you are transformed into a whole nother dimension of fun music, laughter, and delicious aromas. They had a karaoke host and DJ providing the entertainment for the evening and they really did a great job engaging with fellow patrons all night. Some people were actually very good on singers too! They played all the greatest Peruvian and Latin America classics and had everyone moving in their seats. On top of all that, the food was outstanding. I ordered the breaded chicken breast, which came with rice, fries and plantains. The portion was so generous that I took about half home. It was so darn good that I couldn't wait till the next day and had it as my midnight snack... woops! Shoutout to our server who was as friendly, accommodating and efficient as one could ask for! He really provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. It pains me that I am drawing a blank when trying to recall his name (I wrote it down, but alas, I lost the paper I write it on). I will be updating this review with his name as soon as it comes to me. Thank you again to the whole Ananau Peruvian Cuisine team.. ya'll rock! 5/5 Stars from me. read more

great place, great food and staff is amazing. Everybody I bring there loves it. you could never go wrong going here and bring guest

Food was great, enjoyed how everything was seasoned. The anticuchos was a great start to the rest of the meal. My girlfriend loved the papa rellena. I ended up trying a bit of the tacu tacu as well as enjoying a plate of lomo saltado. Everything we had was a great experience and we will be taking our families here. Aside from the food we had a great time enjoying the music, especially the live performance. Really brought a great vibe while we enjoyed the night. Lastly the service was phenomenal. The staff were all friendly and helpful. My group ended up taking pictures with them as well. Seriously if anyone ever wants to try Peruvian food and get a great experience you have to come here. read more

I intended to take pics of everything but we ate it so fast. We got the fish ceviche; fresh, tart, good sized cuts, no weird pieces, thin and crunchy red onions, generous portion. Salchipapa: as expected, very good, served hot, salty, crispy. We also got the fried chicken which was seasoned perfectly and the steak with chimichurri. The steak came on a fajita like plate, sizzling, great sear on the outside- it was great alone but the chimichurri sauce was incredibly fresh, tart, heavy fragrant garlic. We also got the pisco sour and spicy Margarita both great. They have an amazing lunch special, we wanted to try a lot so we didn't order off of it but it's an excellent deal. Team was attentive, super kind, inside was decorated well and had a TV at the bar. read more

Food : over seasoned without the Peruvian main flavors and over seasoned with paprika and colored ingredients. Service : nothing out of the ordinary/ no extra mile, one more restaurant imitating others Ambience : a copycat of a Hicksville Peruvian venue ( red -red -red ) screen projector and boring bar.! Let's think out the box, my review is not a critical review, but a constructive review. Innovation is the key, new ideas, creativity and challenging thought to inspire something new, everything under the Peruvian flavor ! Because is lucrative doesn't meant is good ! Arriba Alianza !! Viva el Peru carajo !!! read more

Having the opportunity to visit a restaurant that has been on The List - and having it be a great experience, equals happy customer :) We had the shrimp ceviche to start, after reading the menu street placing the order I realized I *should * have home with the mixto ceviche so that will be ordered next time for sure. The shrimp ceviche was perfect, fresh and light, perfect and delicious. Entrees were the skirt steak and a dish of sea bass in a tomato based broth, both were fantastic. The staff was pleasant, attentive, and always smiling. There's definitely more on the menu I want to experience so I will return for sure. read more

Came here today for breakfast for Mother's Day. They had a ton of specials. We ordered a whole different arrangement. We got the lomo al jugo - was pretty good wish they didn't put as much soy sauce flavor. The caocao which was good. The eggs with the sausage - so good and than the star of the show was the pork sandwich. Wow I can eat that everyday! Will be back! read more

Amazing food and service highly recommend to everyone ! Love love love Pisco sour is amazing

The food is awesome but the live music is just too loud!!! I'm saying this only in the hopes that the owners read this comment. We love to eat there but we have to call first to see if the music is playing. If there's live music, we just cannot go because it's impossible to eat AND have a conversation. Otherwise five stars and highly recommended. read more

The music is playing at 1000 out of 100.... they wouldn't turn it down, we left before eating.... sad bc I heard it was good.

Went for Happy Hour a few days ago. Food was delicious, very flavorful and unique. Prices were reasonable, atmosphere is lovely, service was great. Staff is wonderful, especially Fernando, who answered our multiple questions about menu items. Highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

This place is almost like a hidden gem. This is the type of Peruvian place that is comparable of places you would get in the city or in queens, or even beats it. As far as Long Island is concerned its the best I've had thus far. What I like and enjoyed about this place was the service. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The jalea was excellent as well as the ceviche. I got the Lomo as well which was good however in my dish it had a few fatty parts of the steak. Overall I would give it a 4.5 I appreciate the fact that Ananau is serving great Peruvian dishes that is authentic at decent price point. This is my new place in the area for Peruvian and I will be back! read more

I came here to celebrate my dads birthday because he always talks about the restaurant and how he loved it. It is in a little parking lot off of Austin Blvd and it looked like a little hole in the wall from the outside. However, when you walk in it's another world. The decorations are so cute with flowers, trees and string lights. It had authentic Peruvian decorations and they were blasting the salsa which my father loved. The place is small but it's spacious enough for about 35 people in the restaurant. We came on Tuesday around 6:15 PM ish so they had the happy hour special until 7 PM. My father ordered the red sangria and I had the Maracuya sour. Both drinks were so good and so cheap with the happy hour special! My dad ordered the lomo saltado, I ordered the chaufa de pollo and my sister ordered the sustancia soup ( because she couldnt eat solids due to oral surgery). Everything was so tasty and the service was so good. My dad said it was his birthday and they gave him a cake for free and sang to him with a sparkler cake which was nice. It made him feel special and I'm glad they did it. If you want to come here for lunch they have lots of lunch specials during the week which are affordable and come with alcohol! Please give this place a shot because it is affordable and very tasty with big portions. read more
