East Haven's Colombian Kitchen

Our Story

We Don't Just Cook Colombian Food — We Live It

The Little Colombia Restaurant started with a simple belief: that the best meals are the ones made with love, patience, and ingredients you can trust. Our recipes come from our family's kitchen in Colombia, where Sunday dinners meant the whole neighborhood gathering around a table.

When we opened our doors on Main Street in East Haven, we wanted to bring that same feeling to our community. Every arepa is hand-pressed. Every batch of sancocho simmers all morning. We source the best ingredients and treat every dish like it's being made for our own family.

What People Say

Neighbors Keep Coming Back

The best reviews are the ones that come from people who actually eat here.

"I've been to Colombia multiple times, and this is the closest I've found to home cooking outside of Bogotá. The sancocho here is unreal — my wife says it's even better than her abuela's."
