Aroma Brazil — Restaurant in New York

This place is my life savior during the work-from-home pandemic! It was a blessing to find this gem 💎 in Queens.

My husband goes there once or twice a week and pack to-go food. The food is super fresh and with the large variety, we can eat different food every day and I don't have to worry about cooking at home.

I normally pack one box with different kinds of salad. Their kale and chicken salad are must! We also add other saute legumen and mushrooms. Then, the second and third boxes are focused on the hot buffet. This week we got breaded fish and salmon, rice, plantains, grilled pineapples and potato chips (at the picture). I have another box with lasagna for tomorrow 🥰

Saturday, we dine indoor there for the first time. They had cheese bread. Omg, so good. (Pictures of our plates dining there as well)

Now I don't have to worry with anything but setting some time to open the boxes and taste the delicious selection of food. The price is super fair and it's an affordable option to have balanced nutrients everyday. In the begining of the wfh in March, I struggled a lot to do my full time job, do grocery and cooking everyday. It was very stressful.

Remote work has never been so easy. Save yourself from stress, get to-go...

Unfortunately, I have to give one star. Being Brazilian, I wanted to help my people. Maybe it was the cook that day. The food was dry, from the rice to the picanha (which wasn't picanha, no fat along the side). I had to spit it out because the meat was so tough. The barbecue options were only the "picanha" and ribs. My girls couldn't eat, so they asked for carrot cake, $5 for dry, crumbly cake. The boy who was working there was great! Really nice. The star goes to him

Here we go, after any 1 star review the owner replies with a negative comment instead of taking constructive criticism. Improve your food, don't alienate...

Pretty good spot. I've been spoiled by an amazing Brazilian buffet spot in Astoria so it's gonna be hard for the others to reach the level of excellence that one had but the focus is on this one I went to today. While not the best I've ever had, I've haven't been to a bad one yet and this one is pretty good. A good number of options to choose from, I dig the overall atmosphere of the place and the food is affordable with a decent size of food along with a soda ranging around $15.

I would come back here after I've sampled close to every Brazilian spot...
