Delicious home-cooked Brazilian food - with an amazing welcome from Ro' & Chef Rubens! I came here for an early dinner with my wife at the beginning of March 2020 and wow, what an amazing treat. As someone who has eaten at many Brazilian restaurants all over London, I have generally been very lucky with my choices so far. But honestly, there is ONLY ONE restaurant I will go to for Brazilian food from now on. The welcome we received from Rosangela (Ro for short :) was just so warm and comforting - it felt like we were visiting an old friend.
We ordered the fried tilapia fillets and sizzling chicken hearts for our starters - this turned out to be an very wise choice. The generous portion of tilapia with a wedge of fresh lime, was lightly dusted with crunchy seasoned flour which kept the succulent fish chunks juicy and delicious - I could have eaten another portion there and then! The sauteed chicken hearts arrived dramatically on a hot sizzler, and were served on a bed of caramelised onions and chunks of fried cassava. A delicious sweet gravy had formed on bottom of the skillet which I soaked up with the crispy cassava - just mouthwatering. By the time we had powered through our starters, we already felt quite full - but the main event was yet to come!
At Ro's recommendation, I ordered the Ribeye (lovingly cooked by Chef Rubens) which is served with lovely crispy fries and a generous green salad with cherry tomatoes, grated carrot and pomegranate. My wife's grilled beef was topped with a perfectly fried egg, fragrant garlic-infused rice, fries and green salad. Our beef was grilled and seasoned perfectly with just the right balance of juiciness and flavoursome brown crust. We finished every scrap of food on our plates - the best sign of a phenomenal meal.
All in all, the service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food could not have been any better. We can't wait to go back and try new dishes. In fact I've decided to try every dish on the menu over the next few months. I'll keep you posted on my...
Read moreThis place deserves all the good ratings it has.
The food here is excellent and the price is incredibly reasonable. I have been to the other Brazilian restaurants in the area and this is much MUCH better and cheaper.
It really deserves to have more people going there as it is an undiscovered gem in Willesden Green.
The prawns starter as simply amazing and so is the picanhna (i probably spelt that wrong).
The house red wine is also really good. I always think that good house wine is a good indication of the care and thought that goes into a restaurant as a whole.
The owners are so lovely and incredibly nice and the service is always great.
For me this is the best restaurant in Willesden Green.
Give it a go , you will not be...
Read moreA very cosy reataurant held by a lovely and friendly Brazilian couple. We entered with the idea to give a quick test of Brazilian cuisine and we ended up having a full course. The food was amazingly tasty that it ended up whetting our appetite and the beef with caramelised onion grilled on point. Although the sides were more then enough to fill us up for good, we decided to go for some black beens with Basmati rice (adviced by the owner). What can I say, that was the best choice ever. At the end the black beens where the cherry on top of an excellent dinner. Thank you for hosting us (see added picture) and...
