Recs on Forest Hills Restaurants?

So DH and I recently moved to Forest Hills and based on everyone's excellent rec's for 5 Burros, Cabana and Nick's Pizza, we love it!!

Any other recs for restaurants around here? We're awful about trying new places unless someone else recs it. Thanks!!!

Well my favorite is Cabana but you tried that one already. Mardi gras is also real good, its right by Cabana. Its creole type food, and their voodoo chicken is amazing!!!! its blackened chicken and blackened shrimp, with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The mashed potatoes are a little spicy. Nice atmosphere too

Austin steak house, its on lefferts blvd and austin street, RIGHT next to the kew gardens LIRR stop. Once it gets warm out its even better bc they have outside seating.

haha thanks! Mardi gras it is!

any other recommendations would be great! Thanks!!

I LOVE Danny Brown's on Metropolitan Ave! It is the closest thing we have to a city style restaurant I also like Midori Matsu on Queens Blvd for Sushi and Bangkok Thai.

gracias has amazing drinks and pretty good food, the thai place on austin is pretty good too. If you have a car and can drive to the atlas mall you have to try simply fondue and shiro

If you like spanish food there is a great place called, Tu Casa. Its a very small, more homey type place, dh and i always order from there though. Bu the food is amazing, best rice and beans and comes with the best green sauce ever. Plus the dominican empanadas are the best too.

OMG ESPO!!!! I LOVE TU CASA!!!! the pernille is amazing and they just expanded to the building next door and have tons more room. Also the sangria there is addictive! and we always take home a pint of the white garlic sauce and I use it as salad dressing!

Girls, this is nuts. How many of us go there?! I troop from Astoria to go to Tu Casa! We're having the Green Sauce at our wedding

la fusta is not too far from u. its across the street from elmhurst hospital.. it is my new fav rest.!!

the service is amazing!! and their skirt steak with chimichuri sauce with spinach and garlic is off the hoooook lol

I think mardi gras is closed or is closing. I had my bridal shower there and we almost had to move it because they weren't sure they were still going to be open in mid-Jan. The owner told us that he was going to close it down and re-open as a new type of restuarant. Which stinks, the place is/was great!

Try Moca (asian fusion) which is right near cabana.

Try Bann Thai on Austin closer to Yellowstone, great Thai food.

Try Narita, also near Cabana and Moca, which is sushi but they also have hibachi tables!

Jade is the place me and FH had our first date!

Also, Dees on Metropolitan is great- I would have an engagement party there if I was having one.

Cubana is amazing.

Bonfire is a nice bar place.

I loooooove tu casa!!! The new dining room is fabulous and I have a huge jar of the green sauce sitting in my fridge
It goes with EVERYTHING!!!!

mardi gras has been closed for like a month - but they were really yummy!

we went to jade the other night just for drinks, but i loved the place itself. And if you like thai food Q Bistro on Ascan is really good!! Theres also a new place that opened up right next door to Cabana, I think its called Aged, but i havent been there yet. I think its a steak/grill type place.
