Menlo Park - Now Closed

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Havana Central Menlo Park.  After nearly 9 years of serving the amazing Central New Jersey community, we want to thank each and every diner that has patronized our restaurant and come to crave our Cuban cuisine and vibrant vibe!  We want to thank our amazing team members that helped make this restaurant a family and worked so hard to deliver the very best hospitality to our guests.  Due to the always present trials and tribulations of the hospitality business, on top of what we all worked through during the Covid crisis, the hard decision was made to close our doors and say goodbye to the community we've built here in Edison.  The Merrin Hospitality Group hopes to continue to serve our valued guests at our two Havana Central locations in Times Square and Long Island as well as our popular beer hall, Houston Hall, in NYC's West Village.  

Any questions regarding the closure can be directed to [email protected].
