We had a fabulous time here recently in a large group. They even had live music!
The food was delicious. The service was prompt and friendly, and I look forward to my next visit.

It’s not too far from the subway it had the windows open for the summer and felt really nice .

This was my first time trying this cuisine and everything was really great. I got to try a bunch of different dishes and everything was cooked really well and...

I'll definitely eat here again. The food exceeded what I imagined. The team creates relationships beyond just service. Their food presents flavor in unexpected ways. The entire meal delivered continuous quality.

Today we went to Favela for lunch for the first time. We had an excellent experience! The food was outstanding, and the caipirinha — I hadn’t had one that good in a long time. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend the experience.
