I had a very disappointing experience at Havana Cafe in Paterson. From the moment I arrived, the…read moreservice felt unprofessional and the staff did not make me feel welcomed or valued as a customer. The overall experience was frustrating, especially considering the money spent. What really stood out to me was the cleanliness. I noticed a bug in the bathroom, which was extremely unpleasant and made me question how well the establishment is being maintained and cleaned. A place serving customers should take cleanliness and sanitation seriously, especially in areas like the bathroom. The atmosphere may be enjoyable for some people, but based on my personal experience, the poor service and cleanliness issues completely took away from my visit. I expected a much better experience and better customer service. Unfortunately, I left disappointed and would think twice before returning.

I stopped by around 6pm on a Thursday with a party of 8. We were seated outside right away as they didn't get busy until about 9pm. The Mint Lemonade is a must! If you ever go to a Lebanese restaurant, get it - trust me. It's refreshing, lightly sweet, and went well with the Mango Melon Hookah. The Mixed Hot Appetizers & Appetizer Mix was a great sampler for the table and everything was well-made and pretty authentic. I'm a big fan of Mixed Grill platters and let me just say, the 3 different meats were juicy and seasoned well, and the toum (garlic aioli) was spot on! A bit pricy considering the quantity/quality but all in all, great meal, great time, and great ambiance!

Music-themed, I believe it was named after a famous Egyptian singer. It's one of those small, dingy-ish type of hookah places, but I have to say, surprisingly the hookah was probably one of the best I've had at a hookah lounge, of all the places I've been to (and I'm talking in the US, Canada and Tunisia). I think an orange or grapefruit head was used, and i believe the rig was a Khalil mahmoon (the gold standard of shisha rigs usually used at decent hookah lounges). Why was it one of those best I've had, if not THE best? It just hit really good. My friends' wasn't hitting as great so maybe I got lucky but mine was getting nice clean billowing pulls. And the flavor didn't get burnt. We also got this espresso-like coffee that was sweet. It was really interesting and complemented the hookah well. Nice spot to come and chill or cap the night off

We started with a few appetizers: the calamari, Yasmeen fries, and falafel. Everything was so fresh and delicious! We all ordered different entrees, and the portions were generous enough that we all ended up taking some home. The restaurant is BYOB, and we ordered mango and lemonade to mix together--such an amazing combination! The only downside for me was that I didn't realize they had hookah smoking. At times, the smoke was a little overwhelming. Definitely not a deal breaker, though. If I come back, I'll probably ask for a table farther toward the back and away from the hookah area. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with great food, beautiful ambiance, and generous portions. I'd definitely come back!
