“I love that the menu is made up of both tapas-style options and full entree dishes from the Caribbean + also New Orleans- some of my favorite flavors! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful. Both the cocktails and NA drinks are fantastic, and the ambiance is a welcome addition to North Loop + the Twin Cities-- festive, fun, relaxing, good vibes.“
“My new favorite restaurant. Everything we had was amazing! We had shareable plates, so we could try a bit of everything. We couldn't stop eating. Then, the leftover collard greens were great in an omelet the next morning lol. I'll definitely be back.“
“At last, the calamari is back on the menu, this is super tasty. New drinks, this rum beverage was quite tasty, and served with enough mint for me to bring home and use in cooking for the next week, also the bartenders, servers and cooks are all super friendly and nice“
“I come to and enjoy Brasa consistently enough that I should finally write a review. The short: service is consistently friendly and helpful, food is consistently good, great gluten-free option with (thus far) no cross-contamination incidents, and a very casual atmosphere. All of my friend group have different favorites: the egg sandwich, the pork bowl, the chilaquiles (my personal favorite.) Every protein comes in different forms: a plate, a sandwich, or a bowl. Most options (except the sandwiches and a couple of sides) are gluten-free. Quick run down of what I've tried: * Chilaquiles with red sauce (the GOAT): the red sauce is such a great flavor and pairs well with the smothered chicken. Their pickled jalapenos and an egg on top makes it a perfect weekend lunch dish. * Egg sandwich: the red sauce reappears on this, to great effect once more. Otherwise it's a simple-but-great egg sandwich served with their tortilla chips. * Fish sandwich: not bad, not my favorite. Flavors are not as punchy as the other options I've had. * Mac and cheese: delightful and simple, thick cheese sauce, no complaints. Crispy yuca, fried plantains, sweet cornbread, also all good. Really, the menu is full of great options. Their beverages don't disappoint either, the coffee and tea are very nice quality -- tea always comes out with a great color and flavor (not bitter at all), coffee pleases even the pickiest coffee nerds in my friend group. Also: no tipping, service fees are built into the menu prices.“
“Definitely recommend! Large portions. Spicy & tasty w/o being "saucy". Suggest early day being best since they close around 8pm. If you're a 'spicy fan', I extra suggest. Decorated walls will keep your eyes busy & wowing the history on them.“
“I'm visiting from TX for a conference and we just ordered food via Door Dash. Hands down some of the best soul food I have ever had. They even have vegetarian/vegan options for my husband. The fried chicken was perfect, Mac & cheese was phenomenal, plantains was *chefs kiss* and I 100% stole my husbands collard greens bc they were SO GOOD. 10/10 recommend.“
“The food is amazing, the employers are amazing, the feeling is amazing. Their welcoming with an uptight attitude. Which gives the great impression of "you better choose anything, because everything is good". I left with the feeling of being accepted. The G.O.A.T,the friend who insisted this restaurant, definitely had a great time as well. I had Sweet Fried Plantains with a Coco Bread Sandwich;pulled pork and chicken and a Jamaican pineapple soft drink.My beautiful and amazing friend had Jamaican Slaw, Kingston Style Jerk Chicken and Sweet Fried Plantains. Our sauces were Jerk Ranch Sauce, MN Nice Sauce, and Kill Dem Wid It Sauce. P.S this restaurant removed the feeling of anxiety. The ambience was satisfying, loud, and exciting.“
“As a caribbean person now living in the Twin Cities this is an authentic taste of home. Everything from Chana Kitchen is good, but the Roti and Doubles transport me back to the islands. They are also a great catering partner, I hired them for my event and it was seemless, everyone was raving about the food!“
