Best thing on the menu that i got was the chicken tortilla soup. Don’t sleep on that soup and ask for it to be piping hot (soup never taste good warm or any other temp)
Food:

Chicken noodle soup 6/10 was lukewarm

Chicken tortilla soup 9.25/10 absolutely would come back just for this (15°f when i came so brought soup to warm me up)

Chicken picatta 7/10

Mac and cheese 3/10 weird taste i could not even explain to you what it was

Fiesta completo with garlic sauce 6/10 (i butched that but the whole chicken) lowkey was very very sad and disappointed by this, sauce was decent but the chicken as a whole tasted on the bitter side like it was burnt although it wasn’t burnt at all or dry, was very juicy actually but the bitter taste was over powering

Fries 6/10

Sautéed veggies 3/10 was not sautéed, boiled and not seasoned

I will come back to give the actual chicken espetada a try and i will come back for that amazing chicken tortilla soup. Heard the desserts were amazing too

They are amazing 👏
I always have an amazing dining experience at Espetadas, thanks to Chef Mario! His culinary skills are unmatched, and every dish bursts with flavor and cooked to perfection. What truly sets him apart is his attentiveness and willingness to listen to feedback. I mentioned a small preference, and he not only took it into account but made the dish even better than I imagined. Chef Mario, you're the best—thank you for making the experience unforgettable!

Very delicious food with great service. All ordered items were commendable. Their menu covers all age groups. From toddler to grandpa, everyone found the best items in their menu, which is very difficult in many halal restaurants. Definitely recommended!

I placed my order as takeout. Normally I always order from here but this time when I got the food. The chicken tasted like it gone bad. I order the Frango Completo with 2 sides and then ordered an extra side. First the food portions were smaller than the last time and the quality has gone down. I tried calling to address my concern but no one picks up the phone. Very unprofessional. Finally when someone did. They said that they can't do anything about it. I should talk to someone else. I'm very disappointed. Won't be coming back here again.

I'll start with the good, the food portions were really large and the people seemed to be very polite and kind.

Upon walking in we were greeted and able to take a seat wherever we wanted, unfortunately after taking our order we didn't receive any food or drinks until 20+ minutes after ordering. I could understand if the food would take a while but I would love to at least get drinks especially since it was just canned soda.

The food itself was okay, both the salmon and chicken had sauce that had concepts of flavor, but the meat itself didn't. I would say the best part of the meal was the tater/" potato tots," which is saying a lot. The sauteed vegetables were better than I expected, but still something I wouldn't order again.

For two dishes I paid about $50 or so with tip which is a bit steep for the experience I was provided. I would say I wish the prices were better for the experience that was given in addition to the just average food.

On a weekend night at dinner time I did expect a bit better. Nothing about the experience & food really gave 4/5 star quality it just was a bit disappointing after reading all the positive reviews. I would probably visit other places before checking it out.

This is not authentic Portuguese food. I was very upset with it and didn’t like the food at all. I said I wanted food that wasn’t spicy. It was spicy, bland, chicken wasn’t cooked all the way through. Just really disappointed all around. If you are looking for Portuguese this is not the place.

Please don't go off of times mentioned on the website. I drove 20 minutes at around 9am to get breakfast with my family since the website and Muslim Foodies mention breakfast serving between 9am to 12pm.
Door closed knocked on the door to find out they open at 11am.
Such a disappointment.

I got the humus and my husband got a chicken plate with a baked potato and grilled vegetables. Both plates were well served and delicious.

The food tastes flavorful. The service is quick and served on time. The smell of atmosphere is fresh. The colors of walls are clear and clean and gives happy and uplifting vibes. Halal food served well done.

Dietary restrictions: I’m on a strict diet trying to eat protein only. They serve chicken with sauces only and it tastes good!

From the photos you'd think it was delicious but it's bland and spicy they covered it in red pepper flakes and idk what type of sauce this is but it's not Alfredo
