The food was tasty but the portion sizes were honestly kind of pathetic for the prices. Looking at some of the pictures others have posted on here, it looks like other people got much more reasonable portions. Maybe our server/cook didn’t like us for some reason? She had a very cool/unfriendly attitude, not rude exactly but acted kind of unhappy that we were there. A little disappointed as the ceviche was a new experience and very delicious but we felt somewhat slighted by what we got and how we were treated. The amount of quinoa we got was also pretty pathetic.

Fantastic Peruvian food! You can taste the passion and care that the chef puts in to bring you authentic Peruvian food to your table. Sure he takes a little longer to bring that out to you but let me tell you the wait is completely worth it. They are also the most friendly people. Give them a try.

The staff is super friendly- and this incubator kitchen is inspiring. I ordered the Aji de Champinones on this moist, chilly day- and it was perfect. Warming, flavorful, and delicious. They even brought out free samples of Pincones- a fried, sweet treat.

This place was delicious! I got the mushroom stirfry and cannot say enough good things about it. The owner was awesome and super passionate, you could feel the love in the food. Flavor was rich and on-point, given gluten free options. I cannot wait to go back

We have been really excited to found out about this Peruvian restaruant and finally had a chance to visit. We ordered Aji de Champiñones – Mushroom Stew ($12.5) and Pollo Saltado – Chicken Stir Fry ($14.5). Our dishes look exactly as beautiful as those posted by the owner. Aji de Champiñones is a bit spicy (not for young kids) but flavorful; it’s definitely a winner if we need to pick one. Noted that this is a “accelarator kitchen” (learned this at our visit) with shared kitchen and dinning space with other restaurants and bakery. The plus side is if you and your freiend cannot decide what cousine to have, this does offer good option of dinning together.

We bought their foods at fast time, and I never had Persian foods before. We loved their chicken dish, mushroom dish, kale salad and soup, which have fresh ingredients and flavors that some are new to me. We are very satisfied by eating the healthy and high quality meals. We are very happy to find this restaurant!! Thank you!!

WOW!!! Lansing has a hidden gem! And this gem is called Tantay!! The food here was absolutely fantastic! I 100% recommend this place. The food was cooked and prepared with so much love. The food is a explosion of flavor; words don’t do it justice. You have to try it for yourself. We ordered Aji de Gallina – Chicken Stew, Aji de Champiñones – Mushroom Stew, Solterito de Quinoa – VEGETARIAN SALAD and Red Lentil Soup. Every dish was amazing. The Aji de Gallina – Chicken Stew and Aji de Champiñones – Mushroom Stew were both so creamy and decadent, with a perfect level of spice. Definitely will be returning and recommending this to anybody I know. I cannot wait to try more dishes. Peruvian food is amazing and they put so much love and work into their food. Also the owner and staff are very friendly. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Best and very authentic Peruvian experience in Lansing! Finally! Good quality products with great taste. If you want to try something different and have never experienced Peruvian cuisine, go here! It’ll become your new favorite spot. My wife is Peruvian and I fell in love with this cuisine when we got married. Loved it!
