Sabor de Colombia — Restaurant in New York

Had a lovely Colombian birthday dinner here with some mama friends on a Friday night, and it was such a fun experience!

The owner, Sandra, is warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Staff was friendly too, though not the most proactive — we had to ask a few times for things like sharing plates, soup spoons, and bags for leftovers.

Food highlights:

Mini beef and chicken empanadas (6 pcs): Perfect appetizer size, with moist and flavorful fillings. Fried pork belly with avocado and tostones: Crispy, rich, and delicious. Super Picada para dos: A tower with fried pork belly, mini hot dogs, sausages, beef, baked potatoes, and fries. The menu says it comes with pork ribs, but we didn’t see any. Honestly, this was more than enough for the 6 of us to share, so we probably didn’t need the extra garlic fried pork with potatoes (a bit too starchy). Fried red snapper: A little too dry for my taste. Short rib soup: On the saltier side, but flavorful and comforting, especially paired with the boiled pork. I’d definitely order this again.

What really made the night special was the personal touch — staff brought out Colombian hats and maracas for us to take fun photos, and they surprised me with a complimentary tres leches cake for my birthday.

The tres leche cake was perfection: creamy, moist, and the caramel filling added the best texture. The banana pudding cake should have been warmed up before serving and the blueberry cake was too cakey and sweet for me.

Sandra also mentioned they’re expanding the menu soon with ceviche, calamari, and mamy more, so good reason to go back. They even have a kids menu, so I can see this being a great spot for family outings too.

5 Stars – Outstanding Service and Above-and-Beyond Care

I want to take a moment to commend and sincerely thank the owner/manager of Savor de Colombia 2 in Bay Ridge, for going above and beyond in handling an issue with my recent Uber Eats delivery. I had placed an order as a surprise for my wife, but unfortunately, Uber Eats completely messed up and delivered it to the wrong address.

I called the restaurant to confirm what went wrong, and the manager was quick to look into the issue. He confirmed that the address was provided correctly on their end and that the order was processed properly. He even tried to contact the Uber driver multiple times, but the driver wasn’t answering.

Rather than leaving it at that, the owner took full initiative to make things right—even though the mistake wasn’t theirs. He personally prepared a fresh, hot meal and walked it over himself to my wife’s location, which was about two blocks away, to deliver it and apologize in person.

That level of care, integrity, and customer service is rare. It shows the kind of pride he takes in his business and the genuine commitment he has to his customers. My wife was so touched, and I’m beyond grateful.

This restaurant is where the Spice Szechuan restaurant used to be. This review is based on a first time visit, and that’s why I gave 4/5 stars for food. I will be back to try other dishes. The service was great and as the waitstaff took our orders, the server called in the food to the kitchen so we didn’t have to wait extra for the food to come out. Our group enjoyed everything that was ordered/served. The staff even asked us if we had any suggestions and I gave my compliments on the food and a tiny suggestion. We’re looking forward to our next visit. We had freshly made mango juice, tostones with guacamole and chicharron on top, the table sauce is a bit spicy and we enjoyed it, everyone’s steak or beef was cooked perfectly, the soup was tasty and it came with rice, avocado, salad and a sweet banana all served together in one dish. We enjoyed the ample seating and...
