Latin Plates and Cocktails From a 1995 Queens Fixture

A Forest Hills fixture dating to 1995, Cabana serves Nuevo Latino cooking with Cuban and Latin American influences, plus a cocktail list to match. The menu leans toward plates built for sharing, which keeps a table of friends passing dishes back and forth.

Table service runs indoors or out, and takeout carries the same kitchen home on nights when staying in wins. The lively room suits a group dinner or a long catch up over drinks.

Cabana opens every day at half past eleven AM, with seating until 10 PM and takeout until 11 PM, a schedule that covers a long lunch, an early dinner, or a later pickup on the way home.

Start with something to share, add a cocktail, and pick a table inside or out depending on the weather. On 70th Road in Forest Hills, it makes an easy neighborhood plan for any night of the week.
