These guys have live music. I heard they hired Seandubaisinger and didn’t even pay him along with other musicians that work there. It’s a shame because they are black owned. They also hire bands for way under market value! I will never support this place.
Nice place with an amazing Band Live but poor atmosphere and low quality of food.
Wonderful Cuban Watering Hole although they are still struggling to make live the entire food and drink Menu! I think the old owners suddenly vanished and the bar abruptly closed and now reopened. The only constant is their SriLankan chief Bartender who is the main asset of this under-rated watering hole.
Nice food good music .... perfect place for chating
The place is decent but very less crowd.
The 20 for 20 is good with limited items. Few more starters will do more
A beautiful Cuban vibe, super friendly staff and amazing food. Look out for Nuwan, hes an extremely skilled bartender at Cubano
The band on Thursday night is soooo goodFood is okPrices are ok
Good food, cheap pints, friendly staff & nice atmosphere.
Did not spend enough time to give a comprehensive review, but first impressions;Good Latin music for amateur /semi pro Latin dancers.Still needs to market/advertise to attract crowd for a Friday night.Will be going again to check with food..
Good interior that serves well with the name of the restaurant. Food was better than expected. Expect cigarette smoke
Great place to relax and enjoy a chilled drink. All the staff is very professional and friendly, nice people to have a chat with on those nights when you feel like Billy no mates. Good, casual atmosphere. Tasty Cuban food also available.
Its my 3rd visit and a very nice place to relax and have a great time with family and friends.
Great drinks, atmosphere, & service!I recommend Cubano for anyone looking to chill out and enjoy a laid back environment!
Theres a good crowd for Dance Sundays from 10pm - other than that, it can be a bit quiet
Loved the vibe!!!! Best sangria Ive ever had. Customer service from the bar staff needs some work. We went for a comedy so the event was external so this is for venue and staff.
Very neat place. Amazing cocktails 🍹 prices are good. Neat people. Salsa 💃🏼 classes and dance with strangers and have a good times
Dance. Latin disco. Music. Entertaining atmosphere.
Fun place .....saw some great dancers around
Will never recommend this place. Its supposed to be a latino base bar/ restaurant and couldnt do both. The staff could not remember our orders, I had to show the bar tender what a Michelada and a clamato its and how to keep the beer mugs in the freezer. The food was horrible and doesnt represent the Latin culture or for a Cuban base theme what real food from there its supposed to be. I do not recommend this place dont waste your time.
Great staff
Music was good,service was great,but sitting arrangement was wanting.
The food was good, but they should have a designated non-smoking area.
It a good place, specially when there is a live band playing salsa music. The waitress is so friendly but the bar tender not to much.
Great place, great people, great food and great music. Not expensive for Dubai!
Expensive. But great nights and crowd. Open till the wee hours
Very slow service, nice decor. Bad food menu.
Amazing band... good food.... special place
Nice place, good people. But too many somkers, need to take a shower when you reach home.
Cool venue, but small. Took forever to get a drink.
Best friday salsa night in dubai, great host and professional dancers
Very cool and Sophia is amazing.
Super cosy atmosphere, great latin music and different latin nights every night. Good selection of drinks. They have valet parking as well.
This place has a great potential! The athmosphere is amazing, it makes you feel somehow that you are in Cuba; came a bit early on a Friday but the music they play is so cool that makes you wanna stay longer, not too loud not too quiet. Unfortunately the food was not that good....they really need to improve the whole thing: the meat on the nachos was literally cold, the fritos were fresh but the fillings (meat /chicken) were tasteless and dry (very dry), same as the empanadas, no flavor at all. In conclusion, it is a place for drinks, music and dancing...but food? Not really; it could be!!! hopefully they improve the food as this place has a huge potential
Regular classes for kizomba,bachata,salsa conducted. After classes social dancing is on. The bar provides decent cocktais.
Such a great place for food, drinks and dancing!
The atmosphere was nice food was ok.
2 words, LOVE IT ❤
A nice place to be to ... I like it
Amazing Latin class every sunday
This Cuban Bar is located in DWTC arena at new IBIS Hotel. This is the first Cuban Bar I have visited in Dubai.This place has a Cuban touch on all the aspects including the staff and live band which plays three days a week.We visited this place on a week day and was greeted by Mr. Sandor who is of Cuban origin and also the Manager of this place.He was kind enough to explain the background of this restaurant. Cubano Lito translates to ‘A piece of Cuba’ and indeed this place depicts the same.To begin with we were served with Mojito’s which were prepared using squeezed mint leaf stem which happens to be the authentic way to prepare Mojito.Along with drinks we offered Cubano Lito Sampler which consisted on Plantain Crackers with shrimps, Fried Crispy mashed potato, Shredded beef pastry and plantain chips. This platter is good for 2 persons and was simply superb.On the Main Course we had Salmon al Ron which is Rum cured Salmon served with preen peas mash, mussel Sause and baked plantain. Salmon was cooked to perfection and the portion was quite big.Along with Salmon we were served with Rib Eye Anejo… which is a 35 days aged rib eye with mojo Sause accompanied by onion rings. Meat was well done and the quality of meat was awesome.To end this meal we had Quesillo do Caramelo, which is a caramel flavored Flan which was made of eggs and milk. This is one of best flan I have had in DubaiDuring the course of the meal we had some of the Cuban specialty cock tails which were all rum basedOver all this place is a must visit again and again….. I will being going again on a Friday which seems to be a Dance night

Great place with dance lesson and cuban music!!!Worth going there!!!
(Instagram - foodierahul)So i wanted to try out a new place for dinner on a weekday.. a friend told me about this place Cubano Lito. It was not just a great place it was a great experience. It is located in ibis styles hotel,trade center. It had valet parking for hotel guests.As we entered we were greeted at the door and asked for our preference in seatings. They had a nice live performance going on inside and they also had a nice and peaceful area outside with light music.. surprisingly it was very busy for a weekday. The place had such a cuban feel. The staff were also cuban.People were enjoying the drinks, food and the performance.The manager Mr.Sandor was of great help and assistance in ordering for our food and drinks. He and all of the staff were cuban.First to drink we ordered:*Mojito- recomended by Mr.Sandor. The mojito here was differently refreshing.He gave us some iinsights to why thier mojito was different and so nice. Firstly he told us they use the mint leaf with its stem as the main taste was in the stem. They use ice cubes instead of crushed ice so that it doesnt dilute soon. They also dont use sprite like other mojitos to make it sweet. Overalll it was the best mojito i have had.To eat instaed of dinner we ordered alot of tapas.:*Tostones Con Ropa Vieja- it was shredded beef on a tosted cracker. Was supereb to have with drinks.*Papas Rellenas- these were fried balls made of shreaded beef and potato. It was served with a mix dip.*Empanades De Guayaba- these were pastry pockets made of cheese and guava paste. It was Supereb.*Empanades De Carne- these were pastry pockets made of beef. They were also very good.*Pollo Crujiente- these were fried chicken strips served with mango chutney. Very nice and crispy*Yuca Frita- these were fries made of sweet potato and served with a great dip.Overall its a great place to be even on weekdays with nice crowd, great food and drinks and nice performances. Will definately go back to try more.A shoutout to Mr.Sandor for being such a great host.Place 4.5/5Price 4.5/5Ambience 4/5Food variety 5/5

Вечера Свободного Микрофона бесподобны!
Its good to find a Latin place in Dubai, great music and very affordable prices
Best cubano dance club in Dubai. Dj best also!
Load nicer and now and then salsa parties
A Cuban-style pub in terms of the interior decoration of the place or in terms of the general atmosphere, it is located on the ground floor of the Ibis One Central Dubai World Trade Center, where it serves a wide variety of distinguished drinks, as well as a variety of side dishes, in general the place is wonderful And the atmosphere is very relaxing.
Nice bar. Even had a good band there. Unfortunately there was very little going on on Wednesday.
Yes
Good atmosphere, varied music, DJs in tune, dance partners, good.
Great for handsome Latin Americans
Once sweet and know the Arabic language and very helpful

Latin flavor on the surface. Good drinks, music and atmosphere.
