Lina is an excellent Dominican restaurant that has been in Inwood for many years. If you are looking for a humble, family run restaurant with fresh, high quality food, this is the spot. The menu is extensive and has everything you could ask for: mangu, mofongo, mondongo, sancocho, stewed meat, seafood and much more. Make sure you get your dish with a side of rice and beans, tostones, maduros, and a bottle of Presidente. You can go solo and sit on a stool at the counter or bring a group to the tables. Prices are affordable, with big portions of home style cooking. And best of all, they are open from 7:00am to 12:00am on most days. read more

Fantatic restaurant! Loved having their mofongo and their cafe con leche. You can tell this restaurant is very cozy and that the locals enjoy going here. The mofongo we got had chicken and plantain. It had tomato on top which was super savory and a delicious beef sauce on the side. Everything was so so savory and fresh. Loved the delicious flavors of the plantain!! They mash it well and it has a lot of garlic. Everything was delicious. Definitely would go back. read more

Staff could be friendlier or mor attentive. I've only purchased the Cocido soup for my mom. She says it's the only place she would eat it from it's always on pint and good. Purchased it many times and at times it's sold out. !!! read more

This place is good! I had the camarones al horno and finished every bit. The garlic sauce is seasoned soooo well, my only wish is that they put more sauce at the bottom. It was so addicting that I was scrubbing that pan clean with every last bite. The fried plaintains are also excellent, reminds me of how my grandma used to make them. And the chicharrones de pollo sin huesos were also good, maybe a little more seasoning but still excellent. The ladies who helped us out were so welcoming and kind. Would definitely come back to try other dishes! read more

Located in a very busy location in Inwood. Parking is a nightmare. And if you do find a spot you'll probably get stuck next to a double parked car. Train is the best way to get there. Staff is very cold and unaccommodating. I'd like to think I caught them on a bad day, but unfortunately, their mood is the same every time I go there. CASH ONLY. And make sure you bring small bills. They'll give you a hard time if your change is more than $30. They'll ask you to take small bills out of an ATM (for a fee) which is conveniently located by the entrance. read more

I normally get the lunches $9 not bad when you're in the Washington heights area other than that Chicken pepper steak white rice white beans is very good also the shakes and juices are great read more

Lina restaurant is Inwoods Best Kept Secret! Small place BUT the food is AWESOME! ask for the "Lina Steak" large piece of steak served with Red Onions on a Sizzling Plate! OMG my mouth is watering again! The yellow rice with shrimp is made to order so expect a 30-40 min wait BUT its worth it! Try Lina Restaurant you'll thank me later! read more

This is an excellent place for Dominican style dining. It was a go to joint when I lived in the area.

The rice and chicken tasted really good... the chicken was cooked beautifully; please see the pictures that I uploaded so that you could see how easily the meat came off the bones... hahaha! The beans had a poor flavor. As someone who grew up eating beans, these were disappointing! Also, the young man who served me was nasty; he seemed miserable. read more

Lina Restaurant - a plate of steak and mashed potatoes - Dominican Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered the bistec encebollado, filete de pollo, rice and beans. The steak was very tough with no seasoning whatsoever. The filete de pollo was good, rice with red beans was decent. The staff was nice but not sure if I would go back. read more

Lina Restaurant - Dominican Near Me - New York, New York

the service is good everyone working on there is not kind or friendly the price of the food I think is way overpriced ,they don't have any tables to dine in or at least have a place where to wait a seated for the food the only good thing it was the shrimps n mash potatoes the fish hard n dry the soup ewww read more

I'd heard good things about this place so I was especially disappointed when I finally went. The house specialty, Fish Lina, was a broiled steak of something, maybe cod. It was dry and bland, practically unspiced, with no more than a couple of fried green pepper strips to add interest. My sister's fish with tomato sauce was pretty much the same piece of fish with the addition of canned tomato sauce. The pork chop with mushrooms was an over-fried slab of pork with a can of mushrooms. Are you seeing a pattern here? The fried sweet plantains were good but it's pretty hard to mess those up. The rice and beans were OK, but inferior to Dyckman Express. Maybe we hit it on an off (way off) night, but I'm not too inclined to go back and try this place again. read more

Okay this place is out of control and I only went here after I moved out of Washington Heights, for my birthday then for some Valentine's day hullabaloo with some dude I am keen on, I got sopas de camarones both times and it was consistently good and worth the wait and I really just wanted to gulp the food out of the bowl like the lady I am not, they had bistek which I'm big on all forms of, the restaurant is a lil hole in the wallish with the red-white gingham plastic tablecloths with plastic on top of it but who cares the food is good and the waitresses are nice, I don't know how or why I ended up here because I don't know anything about Dominican food and all of its magic, but I'm glad I found it, atmosphere is good, authentic even and everything about this place is non-pretentious, the focus is on the food and that's all that matters. read more

This lil hole in the wall Dominican restaurant may not look like a lot from the outside (or the inside for that matter... just keepin it real) but their meals definitely pack a punch. Located on 207 St. btwn Post Ave and Nagle Ave, this unassuming restaurant serves probably one of the best shrimp dishes around. The Camarones al Horno is def a must have if you ever stop by this joint for a meal. Food here will knock your socks off. Who knew? Menu is very moderately priced too. Good bang for your buck. read more

I love this place because the food is always fresh and tastes great. They are quick and the service is good. It is, however, a tiny spot and there's no type of decor ... but you will get a good meal (large portions) for a great price. I usually place my order over the phone and pick it up in 10 mins time. Everything I've ever tried here has been very well seasoned but my favorites are the steak, chicken chunks and their beans. read more

Best place if you're in the mood for some fish. I been going to this restaurant for years. And the food is always fresh and tasty.

It was one of the first spots I went to when I moved to Inwood in 1999. Food is fresh and taste so good. Venue is small and the décor is blah, but everything here taste awesome. The shrimp in garlic sauce is so delicious. The peppered chicken is one of my favorites, broiled fish comes out sizzling on an iron skillet! #YUMM-O. They don't delivery, but its only a block away from me. #BestDominicanFood. Cash only! read more

Been coming here for many years with my family. Always a very good time and good food! Pollo and Bistec Salteado are my favorite!

Very disappointed. After reading the other reviews I thought they work be something special. The plates were loaded with rice and a little bit of meat and it tasted like they had dumped a can of tomato sauce over the food. We ordered the stewed chicken and the stewed beef. The plantain wasn't fried well and there were only a few sweet pieces. Will not be back. read more

Quick and delicious Dominican food. I call ahead for pick up and food is always ready when I arrive. Best maduros in upper Manhattan.
