I really don't understand the negative comments about Balu Cafe in Astoria. This is the gem of 30th Ave. Tastefully decorated, allowing the eye to flow in a serene world that temporarily moves you out of Queens. Having travelled in Europe and within the US extensively, I found many elements that sophisticated cultures and customers prefer. Balu has a minimalistic environment without unnecessary clutter.
I am addicted to their Balu Salad and Ahi tuna roll!
Even if one is not in the mood for food, this is an exquisite place for coffee or drinks.
I highly recommend it!
