Everything is wonderful here especially the food!!!

The place is expensive and you are not going to waste $90 for a small or medium size plate for a little food on there or spend more for a large plates of food over there when you could make your own foods at home and is very easy and simple. It is not a 5 star restaurant or famous chef's restaurant that is worth trying the food and worth the price like chef Gordon Ramsay or other famous chef's out there that provide better food quality and way better service than Havana central.

Food is Ok. Living in Miami and growing up in south Florida I can be biased but it's ok. The drinks are good. The staff is very nice and accommodating. They usually have some live music which is cool. Personally I like coming here for the drinks and people watching. It could be a little cleaner. They don't do a great job at keeping the floors clean. It's almost as if don't have any cleaning staff during working hours to sweep the floor after each cleared table. If they could improve on that it would feel more comfortable yet it's a chill spot for drinks.

Service and quality of the food was excellent overall. Parking was a bit challenging and back room was fairly cold but overall, excellent place to eat.

Just had dinner here for our Anniversaty and it was very good. They also offer specials if you sign up for their emails. Food is delicious and the Sangria is amazing!

Havana Central restaurant is amazingly delicious. The service was great and the food tasted as though your grandmother cooked it just the way you liked it! Great for family & friend gatherings. Love the live music I danced with my partner.

I was starving on a Sunday afternoon and wanted something healthy but hearty, but as soon as I saw this was a Cuban spot, my mouth was watering for authentic Cuban food. The service wasn't that great but the food is panties drop status!!! The portion is huge and super fast, it is great to share just 1 dish if you aren't a big eater or even on a budget. I had the vaca frita, and let me tell you from someone who used to live in Miami, this was the best vaca frita I have had! It came with green rice, beans on the side and a fried egg on top! That meat was so flavorful and tender. The yucca frita was really good with the onions and the garlic mojo! The shrimp with rice is really flavorful and good and a large portion you can share or take half for leftovers for dinner, the next day or share with someone! The place was really clean and very spacious. I would just have management work on the service of their waitress. Our waitress was not really attentive and sometimes I felt rushed but I didn't care since the food was beyond my expectations! I was drooling with every dish that was coming to every table. Everything just looked so good, I honestly was researching where is the closest one in the city and so HAPPY to found they have one in Times Square!!! I already have my order ready! The price can be a bit pricey but for the quality and the amount of food, it is worth it and understandable! Panties drop status! Y'all need to come this place if you love Cuban food!

EXCELLENT FOOD! I've traveled up and down the east coast and this is by far the best tasting Cuban food that I have ever eaten. I had the Cuban sandwich which was perfectly prepared. I started with the calamari which was also succulent. Food was moderately priced. Will definitely eat here again.

Nice restaurant, sweet people, the server Ms.Gaby was very helpful in choosing the dishes as it was our first time there. Loved the Virgin pinacolada too.
The food and drinks were outstanding. The paella tasted like it was made in Spain plus large portions. I can't wait to eat my leftovers.

Never will go back...the pernil was raw and smelled so bad.....after a $150.00 bill... i was left hungry and felt used ...was not worth it at all

Planned on enjoying dinner with my loved ones here. We were looking forward to a nice meal. Unfortunaty we experienced nothing but complete racial profiling. Restaurant was not busy yet we were told we could not sit where we preferred. We were more than willing to wait for a table that would be more comfortable for us.

Best experience I have ever had at Havana Central. Dayvone was fantastic, very personable and attentive. My family had a great experience. Thank you Havana!

Flavors are decent... but if you want that real deal Cuban food with the perfect atmosphere, I'd take a little 15 minute ride to Throgs Neck to Havana Cafe locates at 3151 E Tremont Ave. Just my personal opinion.
