So! My cousin and I wanted Haitian food and this is what came up in New Haven. Caliente is in the hood but don’t let the outer appearance deter you from going in. The food is absolutely delicious! There’s a variety of cooked items like chicken, oxtail, pork, and seafood. There was different styles of rice and beans and lots of sides like plantains, salad, beet salad, avocado, shrimp, and so much more. I had the oxtail special and my cousin had the roasted chicken. The service was excellent and we devoured some of our lunch on site. I highly recommend Caliente if you want a taste of the Caribbean in the heart of Connecticut!

Wow, Yum Yum Yummy Food. Just catered from this amazing restaurant for the first time and I guarantee it won’t be the last. Caliente Deli makes hosting New Year’s Eve Parties or any event easy. Thank you for such great food and service Happy 2026.

Delicious food, excellent portions. Five-star, above and beyond, extraordinary staff… Three options for rice: black beans and rice, yellow rice with broth cooked in, and white rice. My go-to is the beef stew with yellow rice. I couldn’t believe they could fit so much in one container. AND, there are many options, all authentic with excellent ingredients. Checkout the photos of the selections. It’s not a buffet. They have staff that serve you.

Visiting home and stopped by Caliente Deli on a whim! I’m from New Haven and didn’t know this spot existed. My next visit will be intentional! Food was awesome and flavorful!! Pork chunks, stewed chicken, rice &beans, plaintains…. wonderful! Customer service made food even better! A must visit spot when I come back home.

This place has gotten much better, honestly i stop going here because i didn’t see them take care of the place as far as hygienics, and cleanliness and the food use to be exposed without a glass to cover it from everyone leaning over the food. I didn’t like that at all. Plus the fact that they were on social media because someone found something not pleasant at all in their food, so that really turned me away, i just came back to this place a day ago, to see how or if any improvements at all were made, now I haven’t seen inside their kitchen to see inside now,because you could before see inside their kitchen, but i have to say it looks like they have improved very much. I was a little impressed, i have to admit. I would go back once again to see and eat here now though. We’ll see it looks like It has changed, and it’s looks like for better. We’ll see.

First time ordering food here. I ordered the pepper steak and yellow rice with peas. The rice was okay, but the meat was well seasoned and very tender. I enjoyed it. The next time, I will order with white rice to see if it would taste different. Overall, it’s a good place to get a quick meal.

The ribs and yellow rice was soooooo delicious and well seasoned!!! And the large portion for only $14 was enough for 2-4 meals!!! Will be going back often!!!

Tostones were super hard and chewy, I will throw them out.
White rice was okay, beans tasted like Gravy, not the usual bean taste I know (I am spanish) and the beef I ordered was extremely hard.
Filled me up but not fresh good taste.
