I remember when this places first opened literally across from the police station here in Newton. Obviously they moved to this bigger location in the same lot as Canadian tire. They are in a corner spot but if your driving on king George they are at the corner of 74ave and king George you can't miss it. It reminds me of Nando's but for some reason the chicken burger from Barcelos is above and beyond better then Nando's, hands down. Above anything else the reason I give Barcelo's a four stars is because of the chicken burger.
Now aside from that Ironically I feel sometimes getting wings or pieces of chicken or the chicken kebobs, I feel sometimes the chicken comes out dry. Like if it wasn't for their sauce you would feel like your eating rubber. Just dry and takes a while to chew. But that being said its not all the time just sometimes. Now with that said im telling everyone and anyone who reads this the chicken burger is the best. That is always good and somehow I never have a problem with the chicken in that burger feeling tough to chew or dry. I don't know what it is. If you've ever been to Nandos this place is almost the same but personally I prefer Barcelos as I said though mainly because of the chicken burger.
Now I hardly ever eat inside because this place is so close to my home. I prefer to just order for takeout and eat at home, especially with the state of the world dealing with pandemic. But I always feel this place is kept pretty clean and tidy when I go in to pick up. Also whenever I go to a restaurant my biggest pet peeve no my biggest grip with any restaurant is punctuality, this place is perfect with there time. If they say 10-15 mins then that's the time it will take. Staff are friendly. Its a nice big location, lots of room. They seem to be following our provinces current health guidelines as far as sanitizing goes. As I said a big place so there is lots of room to separate if anyone is interested in knowing. Hope this helps anyone, stay safe everyone and...

I wanted to share my fantastic experiences at your Barcelos location. Overall, I'd rate it a perfect 10 out of 10!
Firstly, the cleanliness is always impeccable. I've never encountered any messiness, and the consistently clean environment and pleasant aroma create such a calming and welcoming atmosphere that makes me want to visit every day.
The food is absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor, especially the authentic Peri Peri chicken. It's truly phenomenal. I always look forward to visiting my local Barcelos near home.
The staff is also exceptional. Sahil , in particular, is always polite and offers a warm welcome. I've been a regular for the past four years and have never had any complaints.

Read moreReally disappointed in them. I always order from the King George branch. In takeout package they put some of stale pieces in the box with some fresh one. First time we started our dinner and found old chicken piece beneath the fresh ones. But we ignored. Then i happened Second time in a row and we reported right away. There was manager named Simrat at that time and she accepted and replaced the whole order right away. It happened to us three times now. We called again to report that some of the pieces are stale not all fresh definitely reused because the chicken skin was not over grilled but chewy like it has been regrilled. And we sent pictures too. But the new manager now says its all fresh and lame excuses. We did not wanted any refund or something but we were ready to replace right away but he did not listen to us. They definitely need some food handling training. Old chicken could be hazardous. Always check all pieces before starting your meal. There could be old chicken pieces in your...
