Husband and I come here once in a while for lunch time, one word: consistent! Service: Friendly, greeted upon entering. Ambiance: Beautiful decor, even the staff had on straw hats. Almost feels like being transported to colorful Havana. Food: The reason we always come back is because our food is ALWAYS FRESH and you can taste it. I can't speak on the other dishes but the chicharrón de pollo with rice and beans never disappoint. We've had this dish in other places but you can tell if the oil isn't as fresh, due to a slightly bitter aftertaste. The mojitos are on the stronger side here! Comes with a sugar cane, a rare thing in bars these days. Price: in our opinion not much of a lunch special as our bill for two dishes and two mojitos (plus tax/tip) totaled to $90. Not a deal breaker though because it's a good portion, I always take half home. If you're in the Yonkers pier area and hungry, check it out! read more

The servings are plentiful and the food is delicious. I was glad to be able to choose from a list on their Vegan menu. I had a mocktail which was incredibly sweet (but I do not have a big sweet tooth so it is probably just fine for those who like sweet drinks). The overall experience was good. The music was a vibe and the service was attentive and experienced (we had a few questions regarding items on the menu). read more

I grew up eating a lot of Puerto Rican food but, like a good nuyorican millennial, don't know how to cook most of those dishes. When I can't get my mom to make it, I have to go out. La bella Havana has a solid pernil and my husband likes the ropa vieja. I've only ever ordered delivery but they're always on time and the food is warm and fresh. read more

The service is amazing! The bartender was attentive and accommodating. However, I found a piece of very long curly hair in my extremely sweet margarita. He was apologetic about it and made me another drink. Most definitely was not the best margarita. I ordered a red sangria which was absolutely delicious. The flavors were well blended and there were lots of pieces of fruit. For dinner, I ordered the chicharrón with rice and black beans along with a side of avacado. The food was cooked too perfection and great portion sizes. The star of the show was the black beans. They were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I utterly enjoyed them and the chipotle mayo dipping sauce for the chicken. Would I come back?! Hmmm....Maybe! read more

This rating is for lack of customer service and correction when they mess up. I only order take out from this restaurant and multiple times, they have given me incomplete orders. They do not flag if they are out of something and seal the bag as if it is complete. They also just dont fully read an order and short you on stuff. When I contact to flag the issue, they tell me I should contact back tomorrow to speak with a manager, as if im not speaking to an able-body human that is capable of correcting an error. Good luck to anyone that chooses to order from this restaurant. read more

Have to update this review: The food here is always so delicious and fresh. It's very rare for restaurants to be this consistent. We've been to this location about 3-5 times now and we try to order different items off the menu. Everything has always turned out to be a good pick. The wait staff is super friendly and the drinks are strongggg (we love that!!) shout out to the bartender. If you're looking for great food and drinks, stop by La Bella Havana. 10/10 experience. read more

Came in on a rainy Saturday, and was quickly seated and greeted. Ordered a drink and couldn't help but want to eat everything on the menu since the aroma in the restaurant was mouth watering. Started off with the Pollo Cubano which is boneless chicken breast with peppers, olives & capers in a white wine sauce served with moro y guandules. All I can say is this was so good , literally cleaned my plate . Also ordered the chicken empanadas, which were freshly fried , the chicken was moist and the sauce was perfect for dipping. This place not only has a great aesthetic, but the staff is very welcoming and the food is authentic and very flavorful. Of your in the area definitely stop in . read more

The only reason I still recommend this business is simply because I have eaten here twice! 2.8 stars On both occasions the service was great. It is a nice date spot! But tonight for some reason at 9pm... everything was just mediocre and inexcusable. So I was craving chicken wings (but not just any chicken wings from FRANCEY BRADY'S). I was curious about the taste and the quality of Havana's chicken wings... I arrive there at 9pm. It definitely wasn't too busy, every patron looked like they were being attended and immediately taken cared of.... But as soon as I walked in after a long day at work( The post office)... I immediately knew I wanted wings with rice). 20 mins literally passed I made several strong EYE CONTACT WITH THE EMPLOYEES whom (about 5 or 6 of them were behind the bar) walked passed me several times.... NOT ONE WORD. The bartender with the hat after within the 20mins of me sitting at a table (wasn't prepared) asked me what did I want to drink..I asked for ginger ale but for some reason that did take some time to prepare because there was only a few people at the bar and literally more than one employee kept walking around.... Overall I felt a bit ignored and I didn't feel comfortable eating there. Like come on! I hate service like that. A bunch of employees looked busy walking around (looked busy doing their job but it did not seem like that from my point of view). (Biggest pet peeve. It's like when you're at STARBUCKS AND THEY'RE ONLY two customers and like 7 employees behind the register looking like they're overwhelmed with work but THEY'RE ONLY TWO CUSTOMERS ON LINE!!)...It didn't even seem too overwhelming busy ON A FRIDAY NIGHT! I left two dollars for my ginger ale and walked out... Please support the locals. UPDATE..... TIME/DATE : April 19, 2024 Friday 9 pm I seriously hate to do this... I did some research in the reviews of La Bella Havana. The reviews I read were somewhat similar to my most recent experience...unfortunately today. I decided to come back and actually eat.Yet once again I sat at the same table(in the middle) I wasn't approached by coincidentally. Employees walked passed my table as I was looking at my phone....I most definitely felt ignored.. I didn't even fucking received water. The ONLY PERSON that acknowledged me was the male bartender. THAT'S IT. I swear this better not be a racial thing...because if it is......ANOTHER FUCKING CUSTOMER HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE!!! So if you want to take a break and use the bathroom and then you notice this place is open. By all means, just walk in. You don't even have to be a customer. That is all... I absolutely cannot return here read more

They have mad roaches in the bar cabinets like they pay rent.... Enough said. Food would have been fire if I didn't see all the bugs. The service is mid, and the ambiance is dim so you can't see how dirty they r. read more

This place is great. Their Cuban sandwiches are really good. A bit on the pricey side but I really enjoy their food.

First, this place is small, but absolutely comfortable and good vibes! The decor is outstanding! The staff is friendly and attentive. The mojitos are strong and fresh! The maduros were perfect! Ropa vieja always hits the spot! The beans were actually seasoned well and the rice spot on! The guacamole is really good I just wish there were more fried queso and tostones! read more

I ordered $70 worth of takeout and received a small meal for one person along with sodas that look like they were poured off of a 2 liter and sealed. Literally *one* avocado slice and 5 plantain pieces. The pictures are laughable. read more

Third attempt and this time we stayed and enjoyed the steak sandwich. Skirt steak was good. Beans could use a little more flavor. Service was ok. read more

I really wanted to love La Bella Havana. It's a good loud spot for lively conversation and piped in music. My former Cuban boyfriend's mom taught me to cook several Cuban dishes over the years so I know how these dishes should taste and be prepared. I would have liked the Vaca Frita not to be so chewy or the Pernil not to be shredded or dry. Some of the Pernil should have been served as chunks of pork. Both dishes were served with 1/2 sliced avocado. The warm avocado was a nice portion but needed to be salted or have a dash of vinegar or light dressing on it. Both had a lot of flavor so there's that. The best part of the meal was the strong drinks, tostones (a big portion) for $4 and the black beans. I'd go back for drinks and appetizers. read more

Love this Spanish style eatery in downtown Yonkers. Great selection of Cuban and other Latin specialities, all made with great care and mucho sabor! Cocktails are supposed to be great (even though I don't drink) and they were able to accommodate me with a custom vegetarian option even though there wasn't something specific on the menu. Service is ok, but they tend to be busy and generally don't rush. I personally love the empanadas and the guacamole which is served with tostones. read more

La Bella Havana was a very good restaurant. Their staff was very friendly, helpful, genuinely smiling, and always made sure that our water glasses were full. Before I get to the food, let me give kudos to the decor. Each and every item that adorns this establishment is ON POINT! Even your journey to the rest room envelopes you with Cuban culture. The classic and coconut mojitos were perfectly created, strong, and were ohhhhh, so good. Our entrees had a very nice presentation and we had to take portions home, because of the generous servings. Their coffee was delicious and we enjoyed how we were able to add our own milk to our Cortaditos. I also noticed, that they have an outdoor sitting area, get this..... across the street (Sid Cesar Way)! When we finished our meal, we took a stroll past the outdoor sitting area and not only did they have customers enjoying their food, but they also had Cuban music playing for their enjoyment. When I received the bill, I noticed that they automatically included an 18% gratuity. However, they were nice enough to highlight the gratuity amount. I've gone to other establishments who not only include a 20% gratuity, but they never inform you that they've included the additional amount. This restaurant really has done it right, treats their customers with great care, and provides a great experience. We will definitely return and is highly recommended. read more

Went to la Bella Havana yesterday. I was on the quest for for some fun, yet strong drinks and I sort of found some. I loved that they had a bunch of drink specials which were all super affordable. With that being said, some of the drinks were REALLY sweet. We asked the waitress who was doubling as the bartender to water the drinks down and she did just that ... with non FLAVORED RUM. LOL With that being said I definitely left Bella Havana tipsy and turnt. In regards to the food, it was pretty good. The atmosphere was pretty cool too. I love the nice touches of Cuban peaces and the blown up picture of Havana in the front of the restaurant(I thought it was a painting). I'm glad I checked this spot out. I'll probably be back at night. read more

Location and service: On the fringes of Getty Square with basically all street parking. There is a garage about a block away. The place is small but has a relaxing and quaint atmosphere. The servers aren't super friendly but not rude either. Food and drinks: Probably the best mojito I've ever had, wow. They meddle the mint in in the glass, use fresh squeezed lime juice, and use quality Havana Club rum. I had the bistec encebollado and it was delicious. The steak was tender and covered in a delicious lime/chili sauce. The rice and beans that accompanied it were different from what I am used to, but tasty. My friend had the ropa vieja and he enjoyed it, but said he makes it better at home. Overall: The prices are a little expensive in my opinion. I originally wanted the churrasco skirt steak but it was $32! To be fair, they do offer quality products. I would definitely come back for drinks and would explore the menu more. Belle Havana definitely pays proper homage to an underrated cuisine. read more

My Favorite spot whenever I'm near the area. Nice atmosphere and delicious food and fancy drinks, sounds like the place for me!

This was a restaurant that I've haven't visited in years. I stopped by this Friday the evening of the cold front. The place was still crowded but very cold inside needed a drink to warm my insides. I had a passion fruit Margarita it was nice. My waiter was nice but couldn't answer simple questions regarding which entree was favorite. Kept going around the question. We just ordered churrasco and yucca fries the sauces were excellent. My wife had the t bone steak with the mashed potatoes. Everything was really really delicious. read more

Leaving this review in the middle of dinner, GREAT FOOD!!!! Flavors were perfect and the bathrooms were spotless. My wife and I brought our seven-year-old to dinner and at the table next to us, there was a four-year-old and the waitress comes around with a box of little tchotchke toys and had the kids pick 4 each to keep them entertained while they were at the table. Great touch read more

Came here on a Friday night around 9, likely after the dinner rush, and got a table immediately. The inside is fairly tight, with tables about 1-1.5 feet away from each other. There seemed to be one server covering all of the tables, but the efficiency was high -- quick and accurate service the whole time. Pechuga Cubana - A lot to like here - no complaints. This was a nicely portioned dish with juicy and tender pieces of chicken breast, coated in a light gravy and topped with cilantro -- delicious. These went nicely with the rice and maduros, which are always a nice touch in latin dishes. This is a great comfort meal, and I would definitely order this again. Price: 3/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

Do yourself a favor - get the Ropa Vieja! SO good! I'm lucky to live around the corner from this place. It's small, and has a few tables outside. If you are not used to busy city living, you will not enjoy the outdoor tables. It can be quite loud and it's a very busy road. The food quality is not always spot on. Depending on the time of day, it can get a little rushed. However that's not to say it's not tasty. I crave their maduros constantly. They just seem to have more flavor during the non rush times, like pre dinner 3-4pm. Absolutely worth a try. read more

It feels like a good hangout place too. After you try it let me know what you think. read more

Come hungry, leave happy. My husband and I came here with our 4 year old yesterday. We were actually trying to go somewhere else but found parking right in front and decided to sit outside and give it a try. The waitstaff was so friendly and lovely and the food was awesome. We got the pernilito cubano and this bad boy could have served at least 3, probably 4 hungry adults. (Which makes it a really great $ deal!) We also got beef empanadas, drinks and flan. Leave room for the flan! Needless to say we left with a big bag of leftovers and full bellies. read more

Nice lil spot. Waitress was attentive and drinks were great. Here we go: - The guac appy is great. What's not to like? Fried cheese, fried chips, tostones crisped right. Well done. - both of us had the ropa vieja ... disappointing. Tomato paste/veggie oil taste profile was not good. It's a Cuban spot ... this dish has to be on point. - black beans ... were OK. I did miss the Smokey profile some Cuban spots include in those delicious black beans. Another missed opportunity but not a total bust.
