Havana delights with a lively atmosphere and "delicious, fresh, flavorful food." Guests rave about the "super friendly service" and great menu options like the Havana paella and churro bombs. While it can get noisy, the inviting ambiance and excellent service make it a popular choice. Highly recommended for brunch and dinner!

    Tacos were great as was Croque Madam. Overall experience was great. I would however suggest heating the tortillas as the inside was lovely and hot and the outside cold. It was very tasty though despite the unheated tortilla. Service was great, lovely waitress. We will be back for sure.

    Had a late lunch with my office team yesterday at Havana. Our server – Maya was simply amazing. From beginning to end, she was courteous, smiling, and very helpful and attentive. Havana is lucky to have an asset like her. The food was, as always, incredible. Tried the Havana paella for the first time and was not disappointed. Could’ve used a little more Saffron (real flavour), but otherwise it was fairly well prepared.

    We sat at the bar which is always entertaining. Nice to chat to staff when they are able to do so. Food was very tasty and timely. We had plantain chips, paella and prawns. Bar tequila not great but we switched it up. Will return.

    The food was okay but not fabulous. Plantain chips were overcooked and the replacement fries were way oversalted. The enchilada was okay but a bit dry. The paella was good. The service was great. Noise level was awful.

    Food was generally excellent. We both had Enchilada Brunch Skillet with pulled pork. On the plus side: Nicely flavoured, perfectly poached eggs. Minuses: Padded a bit with tortilla chips, and It's light on the Pico de gallo, I only saw 1 enchilada although the description says plural. Cut the chips and have two enchiladas with a touch more Pico and you're up to 5 stars, I'll still give 4 because boy was it good. We had the churro bombs for dessert, Light melt in mouth, the banana creme anglais was perfection. And enough. 5 stars. Service was fair, not bad, but the server was at the table and gone like lightning, so checks happened but a bit perfunctory. Food arrived fast and hot, billing was prompt, the restrooms are clean and the entire place welcoming.
