    Nancy the server is just an amazing human being!! She went above and beyond to provide great experience. It was my day off and I was looking to take my mom out and honestly I couldn't have chosen a better place. She recommended a passion fruit margarita which was delicious and a piña colada for my mom. We started with a shrimp salad and then a salmon specia!!! It was all great thanks Nancy!

    My family used to come a lot. I think the service definitely isn't as friendly as it used to be and the food is okay. I used to love the chiccarones chicken dish but found the chicken to be dry this time. The yuca fries were also very dry. However I really enjoyed the fried fish cakes appetizer. It's so crunchy, flavorful and the guacamole keeps it real fresh. I also enjoyed the Maduros and the shrimp dish. The paella had a decent amount of chorizos and seafood but I found it a bit on the saltier side. I

    Empanada on the left. Produce sticker on the top, it was wrapped in the tomato bit beneath it.

    Dined in, really enjoyed the drinks and food--had a mango capirinha and empanada entree with maduros. Went home with one leftover beef empanada and about half of the maduros. When I started to eat the empanada the next day, the flavor was still there but I thought the rolled up tomato bit inside looked pretty thick so when I unfurled it, I saw a sticker from the produce wrapped up in there! Last time I shall be visiting Cabana as I'd prefer to not eat paper/plastic logos.

    Empanadas were friend and good. Nice outdoor seating atmosphere and a little more upscale vibe in the inside. Went here before a concert and they made sure to get us our food in time before the show started. The food was decent! Nothing insane but good

    Churrasco with shrimp and sweet plantains
    Sabrina K.

    Dinner last night was good as usual, drink was good had a mango mojito. And the dinner special skirt steak with shrimp sweet plantain coconut rice with black beans. The water was attentive and professional. It was a Friday night so it was full inside and outside, so it was loud.

    One of my favorite spots for Cuban food! The paella is absolutely delicious, and you can't go wrong with the skirt steak paired with chimichurri sauce. Drinks are reasonably priced--highly recommend trying the mojito or the sangria. If you arrive early, there's outdoor seating available, which adds to the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. Definitely worth a visit!

    La Playa Ensalada

    Went to Cabana twi Fridays ago after work. This restaurant has been a staple here in Forest Hills for so many years. I still remember the seafood salad i ordered here years ago. We ordered the seafood salad - La Plata Ensalada , which is still as delicious as I remembered. With grilled scallops and large shrimps on it. We also got the Parrillada , a combination of different grilled meats- chicken, steak, chorizo. Was not so impressed by this dish as it's lacking some flavor and seasoning. For drinks we had the sangria and the regular mojito. They do their cocktails right, i would recommend it. Overall, the restaurant was not that crowded that night, probably because of the cold weather. The staff were very gracious and attended to us really well.

    9/21/24. We stopped here because they had a few outside tables. Valerie, our server was super friendly, and bubbly I hate sending drinks back but the lemon drop martini was beyond sweet, undrinkable even. The second was better, but I would def not order it again. Steak arrived as ordered (med rare) with tasty garlic shrimp. Tostones were well done as requested, just needed some salt.

    Mariscadas - looks good but not a lot in there for $34
    Essie L.

    I had not been to this restaurant for a few years, and only came to meet up with some friends who live in the area. We met up for lunch, there was only the regular menu, no lunch menu. We ordered way too much and had to bag some of the food. The server did not tell us we ordered too much - I mean, we each ordered two food items, as we weren't sure of the dish sizes, but he could have warned us. The food portions were big, but the prices are high for the area. I live in the city and all the Latino places I can think of offer much better value (for lunch). For example, Mariscadas (seafood stew) was $34 and there was only one piece of fish, 2 small pieces of scallops, and mostly small mussels and some sandy (!!!) clams. Not worth it imo.

    Great Cuban restaurant. Good service . Fair prices. My paella was filled with fish. Warm atmosphere.

    Guava mojito

    My boys (husband and sons) decided to take me out to dinner on my birthday. It was around 9 p.m., and the timing was perfect. With only a few patrons left, it felt like we had the restaurant all to ourselves like VIPs. While exploring other cultures through food is always an adventure, it can sometimes be a challenge with dietary restrictions. Our server was thoughtful enough to ask us questions beyond the standard food allergy checklist. The menu was full of delicious options, and we decided on coco cabana pollo. It was so hearty that I had to save the rest for later to make room for dessert. The staff sang Happy Birthday and presented me with their coconut brownies. SO yummy!

    Churrasco
    Emely F.

    Came here for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed! We started with a mix of shrimp, chicken, and beef empanadas as appetizers, and they were absolutely delicious. For the main course, I had the churrasco, and it was hands down one of the best skirt steaks I've ever had! The waitress was super sweet and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The restaurant has an authentic Latino comfort vibe, which really added to the overall experience. Great vibes all around, and I will definitely be back!

You can get huge servings, of chicken, beef, shrimp, oxtail, duck, rice and vegetables in lunch and dinner servings sizes. While we do love the complete meals, we came exclusively for the "doubles". These savory pastries pack a flavor explosion that can't be beat. Made of flour and fried, these moist but crispy disks are stuffed with your filling of choice. You can have meat, seafood, veggies or just plain if you are not feeling fancy. After selecting the filling, make sure you ask for " everything " toppings. The toppings consist a healthy slathering of spiced chickpeas, tangy tamarind chutney and spicy pepper sauce. If you can't handle spice, leave out the pepper but without the sauce, the depth of flavor is absolutely lastonishing.
