One of the best Peruvian restaurants I’ve ever been to! The anticuchos are absolutely heavenly. The maduros and the mollejitas were cooked just right and the atmosphere is incredible! Que viva Perú🇵🇪

The food was great!
My wife and I don’t eat much, so we shared a quarter dark chicken meal with two sides: green beans and red potatoes ($14). The portion may typically good for one person.
We also ordered a seafood soup, which came with rice ($24).
The green beans were excellent — flavorful, tender but not mushy. Good enough to satisfy a food-loving Chinese customer!
The chicken was also excellent — the skin was slightly crisp, the meat tender but not dry, and the flavor rich without being heavy.
The red potatoes were just okay — not bad, but nothing special.
The seafood soup was very good: slightly spicy, with plenty of real seafood. Nothing to criticize there. And the white rice was excellent!
It seems that, in addition to affordable meals like chicken, the restaurant also serves higher-end specialty dishes, such as chewers and seafood soup. There’s definitely more for us to explore next time.

Update: We tried new items. This week we had a burger which was fresh and delicious! We got steak quesadillas, chicken gyro, deboned chicken and red potatoes. We loved everything. The only thing that was not my favorite was the potatoes. They were ok but just needed to be cooked a tad bit longer. Either still one of our favorite restaurants. We go there At least once a week.
My family loves Canastas! Everything is delicious! Chicken, shrimp, steak, gyros, salads. Fresh, well seasoned and fast service. Staff was friendly and you get large portions. We highly recommend and will be back!

First time here. This place is great, especially the lunch special. For the price, you really can't beat it. Totally worth every penny and so delicious. I'll definitely be back for more soon. Highly recommend checking it out!

Authentic Peruvian food at Canastas. We had a blast enjoying the arroz chaufa and empanadas. Portions are big and the seasoning is out of this world. Everything is amazing at this place. Go and treat yourself. Highly RECOMMEND!

We love dining in and taking out at Durham Canastas chicken. The food tastes (and looks) awesome, nice selection, especially those sides, all sold at very reasonable price. The employees are very friendly who makes everyone happy. At times the charcoal chicken tastes a bit more saltier than it supposed to I guess they can definitely improve it and let the customer add extra as desired.
