Havana Cafe

Quaint little cafe. I have always heard great things about it so we decided to split some ham croquettes & a Cuban sandwich. Both were phenomenal - the croquettes were delicate and not greasy at all. The Cuban is a stand alone star - the bread is perfect, the amount of pork/ham that you gets is generous, and the mustard to pickle ratio was great. Will definitely go back to get some plated meals because everything looked so good. Service was quick and kind!

I've been going to the restaurant for years and I absolutely love it! The food is seasoned to perfection, sweet plantains, soft rice, tasteful meat! You can't go wrong! I've had chicken, steak, pork etc all had different flavor profiles but all scrumptious! My all time favorite and go to is the oxtail, tender and stewed in a delicious sauce!Highly recommend! Don't miss out on the coconut flan!

I could have cleared my plate. Everything was delicious. I had the imperial rice with chicken and everything was so flavorful. I also ordered a café con Leche and it was prepared a little on the sweet side for my liking, but it was delicious and she attended us promptly. It wasn't busy when we got there, but it was nice and cool compared to outside so that was appreciated. Everything is reasonably priced, and they have a lot on their menu to choose from. There's a lot of parking. Definitely a place that I am looking forward to going again and trying more on the menu.

Nice little spot for comfort food. I had the ropa vieja (pictured) and my partner had the arroz con pollo. The seasoning and portion was perfect for a filling meal. We shared the flan for dessert, which was silky smooth but the sauce was a bit strong (rum-like?) for my taste. The woman who served us was quiet but accommodating. We got there at 8pm on a Friday. There was a group of 10 already seated and waiting for entrees, but our food only took about 15 minutes to come out after we ordered. Tables continued to fill in the small, cozy space as the evening went on. We'll definitely be back when we need to satisfy our Cuban craving!

Had a nice dinner tonight with friends at this cozy spot tucked into a strip mall on the west side of Indy. First visit for most of the group and I generally steer towards a Cuban sandwich but the menu had lots to offer and I went with a braised pork dinner with black rice and plantains as my side . I believe everything is cooked to order and with a bit of a wait every item came out hot from the kitchen. My meal was very good and I had enough to bring home leftovers for the next day. Our sever was very nice and prices were very reasonable.

The waitress is awful. I'm in town from Florida and I asked her what's the most popular dish? She refused to answer my question saying that "they are all popular" I said ok so which dish on the menu do you sell the most and she went on to say "oh you don't understand all Cuban cuisine is popular." Then she walked away! By this time I had ordered a coffee. I paid for the coffee & left.

If anyone is craving Cuban food in Indiana then make your way to this place! Prior to spending most of my time in Indy, I lived in Fort Lauderdale where Cuban food can be found anywhere. Havana Cafe satisfies my craving for sure!! Their ropa vieja and vaca frita are delicious - we always order these 2 things when here. The restaurant is kind of at a strip mall location in kind of an old-ish neighborhood but I'm telling you that the food is worth it!!! Try them out and thank me later

Born and raised in Miami and was in town for work and saw this place and said hey why not. First off the owner and the staff are not Cuban and for that matter and even from any Caribbean country for that matter. The Cuban sandwich resembles a Mexican torta with no flavor and overwhelming amount of mustard to take away from the lack of flavor on the meat. A very thin slice of cooked ham and no cheese whatsoever.The flan was dry as you can see in the photo and tastes like a dry pudding. This is a lack of respect to true Cubans food. What a disgraceful experience

The food was wonderful! took my friends to go eat with me and we all had a great time. we ordered the oxtail, steak sandwich, and the empanadas. not a single bad review!! i especially love the maracuya!! the maracuya water is the best i ever had. not too sweet but not too bland. waitress was a blonde lady who wore a hat. super attentive and super nice. overall great experience. hats off to the chef!

The food was authentic and very good, the staff was attentive and very friendly we will definitely return when in the Indianapolis area.
