A word from Havana Central Roosevelt Field Mall

Havana Central transports you to pre-Revolution Cuba with swanky decor, lively jazz, relaxing bar and beloved recipes. Traditional Cuban cooking is a labor of love: many dishes are slow-cooked over low heat and require constant attention to create that perfect flavor. Executive Chef Stanley… Licairac has mastered the patience and style necessary to recreate old-world Cuban classics.Continued

"My group and I had a wonderful dining experience. Our waiter Zane was amazing and very helpful. My only dussapointmeny was seeing some if the changes on the menu including taking Piñon off all together. It is a traditional dish which brought the delicious co.bination if chop meat and maduros together.we did really enjoy everything we ordered and the food had a great home style taste. Its as if my grandmother herself was the chef!"

"Finally, a Latin restaurant in long island that has awesome food, easy to find, reasonable prices, friendly staff, live music, and beautiful decor that all combined made you feel like you were in the Caribbean! Reservations easily made online (for after 9pm) but note live music at the front entrance wasn't there til about 10ish but prior to that there's constant music playing through out the restaurant and the (very clean) bathroom! Best Piña Colada aside of San Juan, P.R. But the new favorite of our night was the mojito with the sugar cane in it! A must try! Make sure to sit facing the front! Definitely coming back soon, and eager to try the Manhattan locations as well!"

"Loved this place. I would definitely be going back very soon. The food was amazing and our waitress was the best! They also had a live band. You have to go! Don't think about it, just do it!"

"We found Havana Central years ago with a groupon for the 46 St. NYC location and have been enjoying their food (and the fun restaurant) ever since. This visit to the Long Island location was more fun than in the past due to live music (although a bit too loud). The food was always as good but it felt a bit sterile compared to the Times Square location - this visit felt more like the city with the music. I have to check how often they offer the live music here. They also now offer Dos Equis on tap in Long Island, one of our favorite beers! So I would say my last meal at the Roosevelt Field location was a more fun experience than in the past."

"The menu offered many options and our server was quite attentive and pleasant. The empanadas are an excellent choice for an appetizer. We had two specials: my son enjoyed his ribeye and I enjoyed the plantain encrusted cod. No room for dessert, but will try for one next time we come with the rest of the family!"
Dined on 3/7/2014
"Food was really terrific. However, live DJ 4p-8p was way too loud for adjoining dining room. Bar patrons very loud talking and screaming over music, dining patrons also talking loud over music. I could not hear people at my own table."

"I was introduce to Cafe Havanna by a friend. We been to the one is manhattan twice which was a bit noisy,dark and small. I love Cafe Havanna in Roosevelt Field. It's nice and spacious and vibrate. I even brought my girlfriend and she enjoy it to!"

"The food here was awesome, great spanish dishes and you could really feel the spanish love in the air. Service was good, the waiters are really attentive to you and if you need some space to enjoy someones company they give you that. Reasonably priced with a good amount of food."

"Lovely environment! The waiter we had was very tentative to our needs and the food was amazing. We ordered a pitcher of the Passion Fruit Mojito. It was beyond delicious. A bit pricey for a pitcher of mojitos though. Other than that, I definitely recommend this place to anyone!"

"Food was delicious. Service a little slow but overall good"

"Great live band always a treat. A must is the Cuban sandwich. Check the website for happy hour specials . Love the arroz con pollo as I always order one to go. I never had a bad meal here which is why I continue to go."

"The restaurant is great, but reservations are strongly recommended as this place gets packed fast. The food was great and our group of 4 had an great meal."
Dined on 2/22/2014
"We love this place. The food is amazing. You feel like you're on vacation when in the restaurant. I always get the Vatca Frita- deep fired shredded beef with cliantro rice, beans and an egg! Delicious! My wife loves the shredded pork. Only negatives: Sangria is expensive for what you get and appetizers are small. You will leave stuffed, however."

"I took my wife and a few friends there and the staff was amazing. I requested a table by the band and they had them play and sing happy birthday for my wife. We danced, had delicious food and generous cocktails. I've been there over a dozen times and will keep on going there"

"I wanted to surprise my husband with some good Spanish food at a fun restaurant. Havana Central was perfect. He loved it! We lived it! Great food, large portions, friendly attentive waiter, great experience. Will definitely recommend to my friends. Am planning to return to hear the live band!"

"I have been to Cafe Havanna at least 4 times but I have never been at nite. I enjoy the food like I always do but the music was nice but extremely to loud u couldn't even have a conversation because the the people couldn't hear you. Besides from that everything else was good!"

"The ambiance in the restaurant is great. It makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. We made a reservation ahead of time and were sited seconds after we arrived. The menu was very appealing and a good variety of dishes to choose from. We all loved what we ordered and had enough to share with each other. The cilantro rice was exceptional but so was the oxtail dish. The desserts are small but very tasty. Lastly, the price is very affordable for quality food and quality service."
Dined on 2/17/2014
"So so all around. Food was ok and definitely authentic. Definitely a language barrier with the waitress. We sat across from the waitress stand and I felt like they congregated there and stared at our table. It was a bit unsettling. Food was rather pricey - overpriced I'd say. Nothing really stood out."
Dined on 2/17/2014
"When we arrived the place was crowded and was very nicely decorated. We had a reservation and still had to wait a good 45 minutes. Then we were showed to our table only to find the table had not yet been cleared from the last people that had been there. We then were then directed back to the front. When we finally got seated we were seated in the middle and there was dirty napkins all over the floor and sticky stuff on the floor. We ordered drinks and they were served pretty quickly. I had a daiquiri which tasted like just ice with some flavoring. You couldn't taste the alcohol at all. He had wine which he liked and then had a dos Equis which he said tasted like a Bud Lite watered down. The food needed spices. Overall not very pleasant!"
Dined on 2/16/2014
"Lots of hype surrounding this restaurant, but I found it to be just okay. Nice service. Nice appetizers. Pricey for beans and rice! Lovely live music on a Saturday night!! I have no burning desire to return as my Cuban meal experience was less than interesting."

"The service was superb. The food was scrumptious. (Grilled salmon with chopped mango a nd seafood paella). The sangria was delicious. The atmosphere was up beat. The brain children behind this operation should be extremely proud of what you all have achieved in the restaurant business. You make it look so easy. Both dining experiences were flawless. Love Havana Central. Will definitely be back. Aldo and Carlos are excellent employees and are a great asset to Havana Central Garden City."

"Had a fantastic time with family and friends. Service and food outstanding. Can't wait to go back."

"Try the sangria - get it in a pitcher and they will make it at your table and explain whats going in and why. Also the slow roasted pork dish was possibly the best thing I've ever eaten. Our waitress immediately asked if we had tried cuban food before - and was quick to offer us suggestions. This was a great fnd for my girlfriend and I. We plan on going back regularly."

"When my sister in law mentioned taking her mom to Havana Central for her Birthday Dinner this weekend I knew everyone would have a great time. My Mother in Law is from Ecuador, and loves music, dancing and good food. All of which we had at Hanava. Our waiter Carlos was great, and as always the food was wonderful. It was the prefect place to celebrate her 65 bday."

"Made a last minute decision to dine here on a Friday night. Myself, husband and two kids enjoyed every minute. From the convenience of our table being ready immediately, friendly and cheerful waitress and delicious dishes we had a great experience! Luckily we got there to enjoy a few glasses of Sangria during Happy Hour. My only complaint was my sons kids chicken and rice was not too appetizing to the eye. The meat was dark and dry looking. Everything else made up for it. We loved the love salsa band playing, we stopped to hear a few songs on our way out! Can't wait to go back!"

"This plance suits LI since we're lacking in Cuban food! Just wish the menu was more consistent"
