This is the second Candela restaurant I have visited, the first one is in Hicksville ,I believe that this one is better, the service was excellent, they were always around ready to help, the place itself was nice and clean with pictures and sounds of Perú giving it a good ambiance, the food was great, enjoyed the whole experience, I had the special of the day, grilled octopus, delicious and everyone else in the party enjoyed their choices

Ceviche Mixto

Love this chain! Love that they are expanding! We originally found the first candela in Hicksville which is a much larger space. Then when we moved to Commack we knew about the Candela is Huntington, also a wonderful and large space. Now they opened this spot, with AMAZING FOOD. They have their liquor license and they are up and running. If you want to taste good Peruvian food, it's a must go! The Ceviche Mixto tasted perfect and finished everything. The fish was so fresh! The stuffed avacado con crema and chicken in the middle was so dressing and light to eat. Our dinners, so much food and enough to take home if you don't finish. To end off we have a tiramisu cake and took home our favorite, alfajore cookie. Go try their food!! If you want the best Peruvian food on Long Island, this is it!!

Chicken Chaufa #delicious.

I will start with Absolutely delicious food. See picture of my delicious chaufa. The ambiance is very welcoming and the service was excellent. Overall I will definitely recommend.

The restaurant was clean and the food and service was good, but it is over-priced and they don't have a lunch menu.

We got takeout and the food was great! I loved the flavor of the pollo saltado and the papa las huancaina were also very yummy.

Twisted Greek - Greek Salad with Chicken.

The…read morespace does have seating available, but it leans more like a takeout-style spot--but perfect for a n nice casual meal. We ordered both the falafel platter and the chicken souvlaki platter, and both delivered. The chicken souvlaki was perfectly cooked with a great grilled char that added nice flavor without drying it out. Comes with Greek salad, fries or rice. Rice was cooked nicely and the fries were perfectly seasoned with salt and herbs (oregano). The Greek salad was assembled closer to an authentic Greek salad. Fresh ingredients and none of the ridiculous leafy greens, and no black olives here! Rough chop with the right stuff; cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, green bell peppers, kalamata olives and feta cheese. My only critique on the salad was that it was crumbled feta and not the traditional block feta with drizzled, extra-virgin olive oil and oregano. Still better than most out there. Service was just fine--nothing over the top, but efficient and friendly enough to keep things moving smoothly. Overall, Twisted Greek is a good choice if you're in the area and craving flavorful, well-prepared fast Greek food whether you're dining in briefly or grabbing something to go. I'm happy to have found this place!

Those are just always awesome. Topping options are limited, but rightfully so. Sauce options are a fair variety. Their utensils come in this little packet of paper with chopsticks, a fork and napkins in there. Very nicely done. The bowls are filled to the brim and pack a great amount of flavor. The location itself is small, but you really dont need much. They have online ordering which is perfect. Ordered online and food was ready before the time they said it would be (unlike other places). Do give this place a try and share your opinion

Two girls in the front very nice no issue. The food however had a lot of sauce but the fish tasted fresh. Could have done with less spicy mayo in my opinion. They give me whole slices of cucumbers, could have been better chopped up. Would come here again but probably build your own bowl and no bubble tea as the bubble tea had such an artificial taste. For what it is especially in Suffolk county its decent but nowhere the quality of queens or actually Hawaii. Super clean dining area and I loved how the utensils are packed (single serve and with fork and chopstick)
