Loud like the streets of Cuba. Great music perfect for groups. They have an upstairs that is quieter - at least before 7:00 on a week night. The waiter Jaime was friendly and everything was efficient. Flan was delicious. Drink was delicious. Husband was full. Mojito had a real price of sugar cane. Love that. Literally a three minute walk from Richard Rogers theater

Havana oh na na never disappoints! Every time I'm in nyc, I have to come here. I love the vibes and the food is incredible. I also appreciated that we had reservations at 7, but arrived at 6:15 and still got seated immediately. We got a rum cocktail flight and the red punch one was the best because it tasted like juice. For an appetizer, we got a bucket of chicken because my boyfriend needed to get his protein up. It was little bone in pieces that had a lime garlic rub. It came with a hot sauce and a bbq like sauce. Both had good flavor. We then split the skirt steak with moro and mauduros (rice with black beans and fried plantains). The steak was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. Dipping it in the side of chimichurri sauce was also a nice touch. This meal was perfect and I'm upset I can't live near nyc solely to be able to eat here more often.

Chicken soup W/side of small rice to go= $10.00 This soup is ON POINT and worth every penny. There is definitely a Latino/a making this soup. It's got to have that home feeling. They hit the mark with this soup. Will be back to try other items.

Birthday Dinner in NYC and I was so pleased. My and my Shuga bear stumbled on this place just walking around with grumbling tummies. Saw some folks leaving and they swore we'd love the food. Went in and the hostess greeted us so warmly and I shared it was my birthday and she made sure we got a seat without reservations. Seated promptly but wasted no time being served up a couple of Havana Hurricanes. Next I ordered the oxtail stew and my husband had the Mia Y Tierra (surf n turf). As the live Cuban music played in the background we were dancing in our booth and having a great time. These plates filled with deliciousness appeared before us and all you saw were forks flying back n forth in one another's plates. The oxtail stew had a sauce that was poured table-side and it was filled with flavor. I couldn't eat it all but that didn't stop me from trying. I can't even explain the house party that was happening on my tastebuds. My husband's dish was equally delicious with the chimmichurri on a perfectly cooked steak and shrimp full of flavor. Let's not forget the yellow rice and black beans that stood out all by themselves. Finally the party came where I was sung to and adorned with my own Panama Fedora. I will definitely be back for it all if even in NYC again.
