Reviews for Casual Habana Cafe in New Milford, NJ
The beautiful interior, the music, the food all comes together for a wonderful Cuban dining experience. We went on a Friday... lunch when restaurant was all empty. I liked the red flowery wallpapers with some soothing music in the background. They havenice bar in the middle. Food wise we had a nice dine in. The grilled octopus was good but little burned around the tail. Thetapas empanadas were decent. I got the oxtail for entree. It was a pretty dish, but really hard to eat around the bones. I?dhave like the dish to be either on spicier or sweeter side. It was too neutral. Their paella is also a good dish. The steak isnot the best, I found it dry. Overall a nice location to enjoy some Cuban atmosphere with drinks and food. Read more
Amazing food and amazing bartenders. The chicharon reminded me of a local filipino dish called lechong kawali. The side of... lemon and some fermented radish (I believe) compliments the whole dish. Potato balls stuffed with pork/beef (cant recall) hadsuch a great texture. The marinara sauce gives the dish a slight sweetness and tang to complete the flavor. Would 100% be backto try out more of their dishes. Read more

Casual Habana is a go to spot when I?m home in NJ. My family loves it! The empanadas and Ropa Vieja are my favorite. Great... prices, generous portions. Service is normally good even if they?re busy. Read more
Came here for a brunch with friends. The charrasco brunch special was fantastic. The cappuccino were good. Mimosas are medium... strength. They dont offer any military discount. Free Valet parking on site. Or street parking available. A bit pricy forportion sizes in my opinion Read more
What delicious paella! The ambiance of the restaurant is pure Havana. I ordered the classic mojito which was perfectly made. To... eat we ordered the paella, grilled octopus and chicharron. Seriously drool worthy! Highly recommend this place. Good music,friendly staff! Read more
Decided to give this place another shot because the food was delicious a few years ago. Took me over 35 minutes to find... parking on a Thursday. I called in and I asked if there was any known available parking and a nice gentleman on the phone toldme to go around back in a parking lot and I could park there however there was weren?t any spots. Over 20 cars in the backparking lot. When I walked in there was only six people in the entire restaurant dining in. Which tells me that its likely thestaff or should I say the abundance in staff must?ve taken up most of the parking. Got in and grabbed myself a seat. I didhappen to enjoy the ambience and the decor. very clean with a friendly staff. I ordered a grilled octopus, grilled calamari,and the chicken wings. Although it came out quite fast it was nearly impossible to finish. The chicken wings tasted like theyhave been cooked last week. Overcooked (bones broke) dry and had almost no texture. 5 small wings for $9. The grilled octopuswas five small bites also over cooked $15 and so salty that I even finished my unfiltered horribly tasting seltzer water. Thegrilled calamari was tender but also so salty I could hardly get it down. I?ve noticed other people complain about the sameissues. Nothing was fresh, and the seltzer tasted like bay water from ocean city Maryland. Sadly I won?t be going back. Leftwith a stomach ache. Read more
My wife grew up in Hudson County where the Cuban food is some of the best! Challenges Miami! Casual Habana rivals them both!... Can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Extremely consistent tasty food cooked to perfection. Great drink menu. It gets verybusy- so, it's a good idea to get there early. They also have outside dining as well. Will be back!!! Read more
