“We met with friends at this place for dinner. we heard about this restaurant from quite a few people. Well, it was a winning. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we felt excellent. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Highly recommended.“
“I came here years ago when I visited a friend in Somerville. On my most recent trip to New Hampshire, I flew into Boston and had a little bit of extra time, so I looked this place up, I took a quick detour, and I was knocked over by just how tasty it is. I had the Pão Francês com Linguica, Ovo e Queijo. It's just a little breakfast sandwich that doesn't even cost $4. And it doesn't look like much. But it tastes like a whole lot. Tangy cheese. Juicy, flavorful sausage. I savored every bite. I wish I'd had room to eat two.“
“We stopped here after the Boston marathon. My friend was severely dehydrated after the race and visibly sick. I cannot say enough about the hospitality shown by Jeniffer and the hosting staff. They noticed us, brought us fruit and water to help my friend, and showed a ton of kindness. All the stars for the ?“

“Hands down my favorite coffee place in the area. My friend flew in from DC and we needed coffee and food immediately and ended up at bōm dough and we are so glad we did!Food: My friend enjoyed the breakfast gnocchi which caught our attention because it is not something you can get everywhere. It was extremely flavorful and she would definitely get it again! I got the crack chicken sandwich on pão de queijo and it was AMAZING.Coffee: I got a White Chocolate Pistachio latte and my friend got a plain Pistachio Latte. Both were incredibly good. If you enjoy sweeter coffee I would recommend the White Chocolate version, whereas if you prefer a more espresso forward drink with a little sweetness I would suggest the plain Pistachio latte.This immediately made it to my favorites list and I will be going back soon to try other things on the menu!“
“We absolutely love this place!! Tried this outlay night for a restaurant week deal with only 41 to try all sorts of meat - so worth it! We had beef, chicken, pork, duck and lamb until we were very sick and couldn’t take more? All servers were very polite and nice. They kept giving us food!“
“Great service and atmosphere. I do wish they had a warm food bar option for people who don't eat meat.I went with family with the understanding that it's a steakhouse and a meat based establishment, but we had to pay for the full option and the poor severs kept coming over to me with their skewers.They were all really nice and brought the pineapple and cheese out to me first in our section, which I thought was a nice touch.Vegetarian options: There are options but it will be expensive for just the buffet.“
“Absolutely delicious, the fish and shrimp muqueca was amazing and the fried yuca will be a staple in our household. Crab cake was good, as well. Definitely ask for a side of hot sauce if you can do spicy food! Feels very cozy, not at all corporate. Almost like you're part of the family. Definitely worth the price for the food.“
“All the best. Brazilian flavor. Excellent service, welcoming, comfortable atmosphere, wide variety of products.Wonderful coxinha, piePudding, brigadeiro, passion fruit mousse,...Perfect orange juiceFood per kilo... TastyButcher shop, market, ....“

“My husband and I have come here twice! The first time was on Valentine’s Day and it was super busy. We enjoyed the salad bar a lot but it was so hectic we decided to come again to try it on a more low-key evening.We went again last night and the food was delicious! We are pescatarian and don’t eat meat but we loved the sea bass (perfectly cooked) and it came with delicious grilled asparagus. The market sides are also really good. I love the mashed potatoes and mini popover bread.We also LOVE the salad bar here. Best salad bar ever! Tons of delicious, fresh and flavorful options to chose from. The even had a tasty tomato basil soup there as well!The meal was $100 for two people (we didn’t get drinks) and I definitely feel like we got that total value and more! Our servers were professional and kind.“
“I was just in the mood for some Brazilian type pastries for lunch, and looked it up on Yelp! My daughter and I drove from Woburn to Somerville and ordered an assortment of goods... You know when you experience something that takes you back to your childhood?? This was it for me...the ambience, the friendliness, and the flavors. Me, my daughter and my inner child drove home with smiles on our faces with food for my wife and my mother to enjoy!!! Amazing! We’ll be back soon!“
“Went here after seeing the USS constitution & before heading over to the bunker hill monument. The ladies working were exceptionally sweet. Very affordable prices. The egg and cheese on everything was delicious. Friends got Brie and cheese and really enjoyed. The orange juice was yummy and my friend said the cafe con leche was awesome. Highly recommend!!“
“All you can eat Brazilian buffet Have gone to one in a while I tell you before you say boo and start eating The meats come out and your plate if you want will have plenty of different still beefs Sausages chicken pork and lamb The sides are great Brazilian choices Don't fill up on those if you want plenty of the proteins I never like chicken hearts but theirs were tender and mild tasting Plenty of different juices and alcohol drinks too choose from I didn't try desert because I was full BUT they looked great too For a Monday night they were busy which tells you Lots of people agree too“
“Excellent, homemade food, served family style. Quick, friendly service. We are non-Portuguese speakers, and most of the staff are not comfortable with speaking English. With kindness and patience, we and the hostess and waitstaff were able to communicate, and we enjoyed our meal and the service greatly! Thanks! I considered taking off one star for two reasons: 1) the ambiance is perhaps, primitive. It feels a bit like a lunch counter, especially compared to the fancier places in the area which are newer or have been re-done. 2) By serving food family style, the restaurant is able to produce better food, in quantity, more quickly. HOWEVER, it means that everyone must agree on what they're getting. There ends up being a more limited choice for dinner. I expect that if the restaurant gets more business, they will make more money and will be able to address the ambiance, which will then bring in further business. At heart, this restaurant serves great food at a great price and I wish them all the best.“
“Customer on service on point when I walked in. Multiple people saying hi. Guy comes over and tells me how system works, sides then meat. Asked him for medium rare. Found a medium rare piece for me. Took me through all the meats they offer. Set me up with a great box. Food was hot, savory, and succulent. I moved nearby. I'll be eating a lot of meat.“
“I love this place go there All the time even made friends with the workers everyone is so kind and I loved the service and staff I will continue to go here and I have been coming here for years grew up with Santanas and it’s always so clean I am very impressed and my favorite things are the acai , smoothies, and any bakery item love this place ❤️“
“I went there several years ago, and I didn’t care for the food. However, I went back and the food is great. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. They have specials on Mondays half price pizza. On Wednesdays pasta dishes are half off. Salads are half off between 10 to 12 PM I believe. They also have Brazilian pizza special one day of the week. Their food is a bit pricey, so I go on the days Where there is a special. They also take food stamps! Although I don’t agree with people using their Foodstamps to eat at a restaurant, it does give those people an opportunity to use them if they want to. The chicken is great. No fat very tasty. Give it a try you won’t be disappointedParking: There is parking but only four or five spots in the front of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs, simply two doors to get inside.“
“Being only open for 2.5 hours once a week, Matcha Boy is a bit of an elusive find inside Nibble Kitchen at Bow Market. However, it's worth visiting if you can catch the window. The staff was super friendly and walked me through the menu. I was between the Azuki Matcha Latte or the CHAffogato but ultimately decided to go for the latter since it's not something I've seen at a matcha spot before.For $6, I got a cup of sweet vanilla ice cream drowned in some hot hojicha. I originally thought that they would give me the hojicha separately to pour myself, but they do it for you before handing over your order, so be sure to have your camera ready if you are interested in recording (I missed my opportunity haha).The ice cream was rich and the perfect amount of sweetness, which is what I love the most about Asian desserts. It also had bits of ice that added some texture variety with each bite. The hojicha added a subtle nuttiness that elevated the ice cream. If I had a biscotto or cookie to top this off, it would have been perfect.Overall, I am really happy that I got to try this dessert, and I'll definitely be back to try the Azuki Matcha Latte.“
“This is a to go place more then anything it cheap and delicious food. There are seat the number of them is limited. This is not a go with a big party place. This is very much a brasilian community staple place. It for the people who are on the way home and don't want to cook you grab the food and go home and enjoy in peace. This is a kilo restaurant where you pay by the weight of food you get so the more you get the more you play I got 3 lbs of food for about $dollar it is my lunch and dinner for the day cuz I got to much food.“
“My friend lost his mother who lived in Brazil, and it was very difficult to watch him deal with this loss and not be able to be there. I reached out to Brasil on Ferry with no knowledge of Brazilian culture or cuisine, they helped me pick traditional food, quantities and offered to deliver it even though it was just outside their normal delivery zone. The wife and husband gave me wonderful advice and made this one of the best service experiences I've ever had! Thank you Paulo!“
“Mineirão is small but packed to the brim with Brazilian goodies. They are stocked with calabresa and paio, types of Brazilian sausages that are very hard to find in other markets in the US (and I've been to several looking for them...). Their snack aisle was full of all childhood favorites including Fandangos (an addicting corn based chip) and polvilho (a crunchy, airy snack). They have an extensive cafe menu that I will come back to try.“
“(Translated by Google) I was very happy to find several Brazilian products, the sausage (sausage) equal to the Brazilian one. Congratulations on the service, I also liked the price of many products and keep it up. Five star because I can't give more.(Original)Fiquei muito feliz de encontrar vários produtos brasileiros, o salsichao ( linguiça ) igual ao brasileiro. Parabéns pelo atendimento, gostei também do preço de muitos produtos e continuem assim. Cinco estrela porque não posso dar mais.“
“I was pleased to see that they could go through the pandemics time and come out as a real Phoenix. The store was totally renovated. The owners did not stay home and watch TV like everyone else. They got dressed and, against all odds, reformulated the whole place themselves!Now they have presented us a clear and attractive place and, better than that, a great and varied menu not only for those who miss the Brazilian dishes, but for those who are thriving to try new and great flavors.There you'll fall in love with the sweetness of the Orange Chicken and the spiciness of the Jambalaya Chicken, just for the start, or the first day. If you can visit the place during several days, I'm sure you'll not get bored and will certainly repeat, like I did, some of the dishes over and over again!On the picture, me and Selma. Selma and her husband are the most hard working and generous people I know and this reflects on the quality of the food they prepare at Galletto's!“
“I love ordering from here to bring these little snacks at parties. It's a hit with kids and adults. During New Year's Eve, I stopped by to order and oh boy, the place was literally packed with people all trying to get this for parties. They limited flavors to only chicken and cheese for the night so that's what I did. 200 balls for only $24. Still well worth it. I've had the churros flavor before and it's so good. I'm looking forward to parties so I can get these again. HahaParking: Street parking but it's right on Broadway so it gets busy sometimes. Side streets a couple blocks away had more spots.“
“Great spot! Any place that attracts some element of entertainment or nightlife is always going to get some disgruntled reviews. But we had a great time here. Had a late bite and some cocktails and we really enjoyed the service and music after. Been making a point to support local and been to a few spots I never tried, as someone born and raised in Somerville. Definitely recommend stopping in! Especially for folks looking for some Brazilian music and fare.“
“I’m a Gringo & don’t speak a lick of Portuguese. But this is one of my favorite restaurants in Massachusetts. It’s not much to look at from the outside, but the buffet is incredible, and the selection of meat is outstanding. I always overfill my plate with fruit, vegetables, and meat, and the price is consistently around $20 for me. Whenever I’m in the Waltham or Newton area, this is my go to place for lunch. Incredibly friendly people. Parking isn’t always easy, you may have to drive around the block a couple of times to find street parking. But well worth it!“
“I really liked the food! Great option for Brazilian food. I recommend eating by the kilo since you eat what you want, get whatever roast meat you want, fresh off the grill... very good! I liked it and recommend it to anyone who likes Brazilian food.“
“This place is pick up only. They have 2 sizes of bites. I ordered premium, they significantly larger and my opinion much tasty. I personally like chicken and chicken with cheese. They also have Brazilian soda Guarana, it is my favorite, much healthier than Pepsi or Cola. I strongly recommend this place especially if you planning for large party and need some type of fingers food.“
“We stumbled on this place while we were looking for a laundromat. I had no idea this hidden treasure was right here! This is a little Brazilian convenience store with assorted sweet and savory pastries. We tried a few different savory pastries (I wish I could remember the name of everything), but everything was SO delicious! What a treat! Plus, the girls behind the counter were super sweet and helpful to explain everything to us.“
“Very Yummy ! I got the fish moqueca which is one of the pricier dishes but it was huge ! It came out bubbling in a big pot with rice and cassava on the side. I was able to eat that night and then eat leftovers twice after that and the flavor got better every time. I also got a caipirinha which was also pricey but worth it ! It was so strong I started feeling it after a few sips. The music was a little loud but good. Nice atmosphere overall.“
“The Oasis Restaurant provided an exceptional experience. From the welcoming ambiance to the amazing cuisine, every detail was thoughtfully considered. The dishes, filled with authentic flavors, surprised and delighted my palate. The impeccable service from the staff, combined with the pleasant atmosphere, made the meal even more memorable. Without a doubt, I would recommend the Oasis Restaurant to anyone seeking a high-quality dining experience.“
