The atmosphere was good, the food not so much. The chicken was dry and bland on everything, including the stroganoff and coxinha.

The service was acceptable, the prices not unreasonable, but the food was low quality so unfortunately I can't recommend this place to anyone looking for good Brazilian food.

I come here about 2–3 times a week, and it’s always a wonderful experience. Thiago and Pracilla are truly the sweetest and most welcoming people. The food is consistently delicious, the service is excellent, and I love seeing the strong Brazilian community that also chooses to dine here. Highly recommend—10/10!

Priscilla was the absolute worst service I’ve ever gotten in any restaurant of my life by a long shot. When we first got in she completely ignored me and my friend, then after around 3-5 minutes she just drops the menus off our table, doesn’t even say hello or anything, then after about 10 minutes she comes to take our order. I got the coxinha and steak fries, and she asks me what I want to drink. I say water, and she looked at me like I was a cheapskate. I never even got the water until 15 minutes later when my friend had to ask for it. On top of that, the coxinha is already ready at the window, but I never got it until after my steak came out 20 minutes later, which was slightly cold too, and I had to ask for the coxinha. She completely ignored us and forgot about us the entire time, and then at the end of the meal, she has the nerve to add a 20% gratuity to the check. It wasn’t even that much, it was a $47.50 check. On top of that, like another reviewer said, there was double tax, on the price of the item itself, and then at the bottom of the check. Real shady stuff. I’ve eaten there many times before, I even went on my birthday with my mom and had a great experience, they never added the gratuity then, and there wasn’t a double tax, so there’s no way it was an accident. I had to leave because I got so upset, and I didn’t want to make a scene so I dropped the EXACT amount the bill was on the table and left, but I’ve never been treated this badly at a restaurant before and then TOLD to tip on top of it. That’s insane. The food is so good I know I’ll find myself going back, but If I ever see Priscilla working I’m going somewhere else for the day.

We had some simple, classic Brazilian dishes, but every bite was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic and well-balanced, the portions generous, and everything was cooked to perfection. What impressed me most was how something so seemingly “basic” could taste so exceptional — you can really tell the chefs care about quality and authenticity.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy, vibrant vibe that makes you feel right at home. Priscilla, who helped us during our visit, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made our experience even more enjoyable and welcoming.

Even if you’re new to Brazilian cuisine or just looking for comforting, flavorful food done right, this restaurant is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return and try more of their dishes!

my friend and i were starving and he recommended this place and we wasted no time to come. our server Priscilla went above and beyond to share her recommendation and knowledge about brazilian food. we had a great time. really wish the owners would make the outside patio more aesthetic and add warmers for the colder evenings.

came here to eat with my friend after work, Priscilla gave us the absolute worst service. She didn’t even greet us when she came to drop off the menus. We asked her for a couple of waters and she never got them. I had to remind her to get the water. And she did it with a real attitude. We ordered two appetizers and two entrées. she completely forgot the appetizers after we were almost done with our entrées. And again had to remind her. Never once apologizing, never once acknowledging the mistake just straight attitude. Now we get the bill and not only has she forgot the waters. The appetizers didn’t give us a refill on the water. She had the nerve to put a 20% gratuity. Now I have no problem giving gratuity but it’s given based on service and this service was absolutely terrible. I do feel like she discriminated against us for maybe being younger adults or hispanic And thinking we were not gonna tip. But we are in the industry actually we’re veterans in the industry managing very well established restaurants in Manhattan. Overall, I would like to take this moment to tell Priscilla this is the worst service I’ve ever gotten and you had the nerve to put a 20% gratuity and that just is awful in every sense you’re not entitled to 20% you have to earn it.

This place is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warmest hospitality. The menu has everything — from delicious appetizers that wake up your taste buds, to incredible Brazilian croquettes that are simply perfection, and even Brazilian-style burgers that are out of this world. Every single dish is packed with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection.
Special shoutout to Manager Thiago — he’s absolutely amazing! Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest has a fantastic experience. You can really feel the care in both the food and the service.

If you’re looking for a taste of Brazil right here in the city, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

This place is small but cozy,the only thing we didn't like it was the price.
To every item they add tax,then in the total again they add tax.
Also they just add a 20% tip with out our knowledge.
So..it would of b nice if we knew in advance.
Just order and take out

We tried the Pao de queijo, coxinha (chicken and cheese) & (yuca and beef), traditional açaí bowl, ham & cheese sandwich, picanha sandwich, and coffee.
Everything was delicious.
Outside seating & yummy food on a Sunday afternoon was a hit.
We will be back.

They advertise fresh squeezed juice on their sign so I ordered a fresh squeezed OJ and then paid $7 to watch a woman pour Tropicana into a cup. When I called her out on it she said they were out of OJ. Genuinely such a scam lol
