White Maize

I'm from Venezuela and live in Germany since 20 years. It's been a great experience dinning in this charming venezuelan food restaurant. I couldn't stop tasting such delicious variety of like home made style dishes. The desserts and drinks were amazing. It was much more than expected to find Venezuela in New York. But the top of all was the kindness and lovely attention received from the owner Katiana, her sweet mother Soraya, the handsome grandson José and the whole team. I highly recommend White Maine and for sure will repeat on my next visit to the Big Apple.

It’s unlikely you’ll find a Venezuelan restaurant that won’t suck. White Maize really sets the bar for GOOD LEGIT VENEZUELAN FOOD! No other place compares to this spot! Even if you are 1hr 15min away… GO EAT THERE! Or delivery, whatever, just eat the entire menu, it’s unbelievably delicious! Don’t miss out. Will eat here everyday of my life. It’s also important to note the entire staff is out of this world friendly and welcoming. EAT HERE!!!! P.S they catered my 150 people party, there was not a single soul that didn’t love the food. Tequeños are ridiculously delicious and all the arepas so good!

I am currently training with an intense diet to follow but i decided to spend my last cheat day here and let me tell you they did not disappoint, they over exceeded. Kathy was excellent with her hospitality skills. She was very helpful giving me recommendations and explained key details and difference of each item. She has gained a loyal customer who will continuously stop by to have New Yorks best arepas. Well done.

The Arepas are delicious! I would recommend eating it hot and fresh as it tends to get stale once it cools down. Highly recommend the Tajadas! + the staff are super friendly and very helpful. Ambience is laid back and the outdoor space is a great touch. Please note that there isn’t a restroom option.
