Havana Carolina Restaurant offers a little taste of Cuba presented in a lively-classic setting with Happy Hours and live music. The Cuban Paradise focus on customer satisfaction.

Our distinctive Cuban cuisine is a fusion of many varied elements of Native American Taino, Spanish, African, French, Arabic, Chinese and Portuguese spices and food techniques. Our blend of Caribbean ingredients is added to elevate each unique dish to a different level. The most important ingredient in each recipe is “love”.
Havana Carolina Restaurant & Bar is Cuban family-owned and operated. It flaunts the endeavor, the courage and the strength of those who look for success in new places. At Havana Carolina, we focus on creating a unique dining experience which allows each one of our customers to travel in time and spend a day in our old and glamorous Cuba. This “Cuban Paradise” is not just a restaurant or a business, it’s an experience and a feeling. It’s Cuba in its essence.

    Great overall experience! If you want authentic food and atmosphere, Havana Carolina is the place to go! Plus, it's down in the quiet and charming area of Concord which makes for a great date night.

    Always a pleasure to come here. Staff always attentive and pleasant. Varied menu and everything is very fresh and well presented. We were seated quickly and staff brought our appetizers quickly even though they were nearly full. We had crab dip with terrific fried pita that was a hit even with our non fish folks. Every one ordered something different but all came out hot and at the same time. Had a chopped salad and the combo of chicken and shrimp,was great. My mom in law had fried shrimp with fires that were fresh cut. Grandson snagged several. Give it a try! Fish was great

    Food and service was good. Live music on Friday nights is too loud for the size of the restaurant. Hard to carry on a conversation because of the music.

    First of all it was so hard to find the restaurant. My boyfriend and I were walking around in the heat for 10 minutes looking for this place after we parked. I called the restaurant and the girl still didn't give clear instructions. She didn't bother to tell me they're located inside another building. We were gonna just give up and go somewhere else until a nice person asked us where we were trying to go, we told him and he pointed us in the right direction. We finally get inside the restaurant, there were two large parties already present at this tiny restaurant. One table was loud. The food was not that great, but it was ok. They have a limited menu for Cuban food. I'd be better off heading back to Miami for Cuban food. I wouldn't go back.

    The service was great and hospitable! The food was tasty and we had enough leftovers for another meal. We really enjoyed the live music, it was a nice touch to the experience, but we were glad not to be in the bar area or in the direct path because it was a bit loud for the venue. When we are back in the area, it is on the list to visit again!
