This was one of our favorite places we tried while visiting.
First thing, the menu has a typo on it for the pork lovers trio. The first one listed as a pork lover trio is the pork lover. The second one is not a pork lover trio it will include chicken, pork, and beef. We said pork lover trio, not realizing there were two items called that. This led to some confusion.
That said, the pork lover trio was extremely tasting. We will def be going back.
We had 4 people, so we ordered 2 towers of pork lovers and a side of sweet plantains.
We would def visit this restaurant again when in the area.
Convenient to Time Square.
After a busy day, this was the perfect place to sit down and enjoy a delicious meal :) everything we had was wonderful, apps to the sides to the main meal. We were too full to try dessert unfortunately! The staff was very friendly and helpful with picking our entrees. Would love to visit again next time I'm in town :)
Went here on a whim, and so greatful we did. Walked in to live Cuban music and a very lively and popping atmosphere. Greeted by a fantastic staff and seated immediately. Served food until 11 pm which is actually harder than one would think to find in NYC on a Friday evening. Our server was incredible, food was top-tier, drinks were aplenty, tasty and not week by any means. Pricing was also great considering all of the above. Would most definitely recommend to anyone traveling in the area and we would 1,000% go back to try other items on the menu.
Looking for something to eat whilst in Times Square I came across Havana. As a benchmark I normally complain about something in a restaurant. The food quality, the food quantity or food service. For me there was absolutely nothing to complain about, in fact the opposite. The ribs were rather best I have ever had. The service was great. The waiter and service could not have been better. My only downside about visiting Havana is that it has set a new benchmark for any other restaurant that I go to. Well worth 5 stars and a visit if you are in the area.
La Havana Restaurant in Times Square is a must-visit for those seeking authentic Cuban cuisine and the famous Cuban drink, the Mojito. The restaurant offers a wide range of traditional Cuban dishes, from flavorful Ropa Vieja to savory Lechon Asado. The food is prepared with care and attention to detail, ensuring an exquisite dining experience. The Mojitos at La Havana are simply outstanding, with a perfect balance of refreshing mint, tangy lime, and a hint of sweetness. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the meal. Overall, La Havana Restaurant is a delightful destination for anyone looking to indulge in the flavors of Cuba and savor a truly exceptional Mojito.
In summary, Havana Central provides a decent dining experience with friendly staff, an acceptable cocktail selection, and a lively atmosphere. However, if you're looking for a culinary adventure or unique libations, you might find the offerings here to be more standard than standout. It's a reliable choice for those craving Cuban flavors in the heart of Times Square, but don't expect to be wowed beyond the expected.
Such an amazing restaurant from the front desk to the servers, everyone was super friendly and happy to welcome a family with a baby. The food was delicious , you really can’t get enough from that salmon. I strongly recommend this experience when you visit New York!
Enjoyed every bit of the food. The beans were hard, but the food tasted superb. I will recommend
Stopped in for a drink while we waited for our reservation for dinner - drinks were super good and staff was very friendly. Restaurant has a great atmosphere.
Good food, good cocktails. Ordered a salmon salad - food took a little long to arrive and was too heavily sauced, but the fish and vegetables were fresh and the portion is filling. A very decent meal pre Broadway, or if you're just looking for places with lively vibes.
