Havana Cafe Takeout

I had purchased a Groupon for this place and found it to be a very nice spot. I had ordered the Calamari, and a Vegan Paella (totally worth the price!), it was a very big portion and absolutely delicious. I also had a few drinks and the bartender was spot on, no watered down drinks in sight. Would definitely go back again once I revisit NYC.

The food was good. Service needs work. Our waitress was nice but obviously over worked. Perhaps add a few more members to the staff could make the overall experience better for everyone. 12/2018 Very delicious brunch menu. Service was very good. Parking in the area is very limited. 03/02/19

Visited for a lunch meeting around 3:00pm and we got the whole place pretty much for ourselves Even if completely empty, their service was not really very quick at the begining - it did get better afterwards but in general it it wasnt really the highlight of their place. The food was pretty good: we had one sushi roll (fried chicken roll) as appetizer besides one order of steak tacos and one cubano sandwich. I wouldnt mind returning!

I recently ordered the half chicken combo via Uber eats. The quality of the food is terrible. The chicken is dry and flavorless, it was several different colors, like pink/brown. I couldn’t eat all of it. The black beans has no flavor and the cheese empanada tastes frozen/not fresh. I won’t order from them again.

Every time I come back home, I come here. I do have to say that I'm unhappy with what they are doing with the menu now. It's a Cuban restaurant, but they are taking away all of the Cuban staples with dishes and have replaced them with potatoes and veggies. The special, delicious Maduro rice is no longer on the menu at all, but i was able to request it. Whenever i come, the food is always outstanding. This time, it was not as great, but still good. My friend's salmon was a bit burnt, so he was disappointed in that, but the rice was ok and the mofongo was good. The tostones needed a little seasoning/ more salt, but the dip was delicious. I love this place. Please don't take away it's authenticity. If I want to have regular food on the menu too, that's fine. Just don't take away the culture!
