Makondo Restaurant

This place used to be great. Most recent visit staff wasn't very pleasant. The food was both expensive and awful. The chicharron was too overcooked and dry. It felt like it was old and refried to be sold again. The empanadas were the same barely any meat in them I ended up throwing out most of the meal out. Do not recommend and will not be returning. Shame because I think their Port Chester NY location is better.

I had an incredible dining experience at Makondo Restaurant in White Plains. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We ordered the Bandeja Paisa, and it was absolutely fantastic. Every component of the dish was cooked to perfection, and the meats were seasoned just right, bringing out authentic Colombian flavors. The portion was generous, making it a truly satisfying meal. To drink, I had the natural passion fruit juice, and wow so refreshing and flavorful! It was the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, complementing the meal beautifully. If you’re looking for delicious Colombian food with excellent service, Makondo is definitely the place to go. I’ll be back for sure!

Cosy restaurant with delight bilingual staff, food here is extremely delicious. All dishes come in large portions, perfect for a family gathering, make sure to ask for any specials. This cozy restaurant was once called Brownies Restaurant and Bakery, the food was excellent. But new owners took over and renamed to Pantojarse Restaurant and Brakery. Then the food wasn't to it's best, and the service was extremely slow, and cash only. I am assuming a new owner took over again, remained it to Makondo Restaurant and Brakery. The food return to its delicious flavors, one dish better than the other. Many updates including seating arrangements, paying methods, digital orders. A true diamond in the rough!

I came for takeout , I left Colombian house because online it says that around the corner has better prices . I walked out spending $70 for 2 chicharonne ( dry as the deserts core ) , 4 bunuelos , 2 chorizos , & 4 empanadas couldn’t even get two beverages with the amount I budgeted to spend for just lunch . Terrible terrible , you would think that they would be trying to compete not only for taste , but for quality and pricing .

I have been to their other location in Ossining, NY and this one in white plains, NY is just as good. I ordered take out and just like their other location, got a lot of bang for my buck. Got the grilled chicken cutlets with rice, beans, salad, and fried plantains. Solid choice. Chicken wasn't dry beans were on point, and the plantains nice and crispy. Good place to eat if you find yourself in White Plains
