    Barcelos Flame Grilled Chicken is basically another version of Nandos Chicken. Flavors are similar and even sauces and menu items are similar. The decor are quite similar and they used the orange color theme. I ordered half a chicken (prego flavor) with a side of coleslaw. The flavor was tasty but I still prefer Nandos over Barcelos. In terms of the size of the chicken, it was rather small. I am not a big eater and I would say half a chicken plus the coleslaw is not enough for me. I would probably have to eat the entire whole chicken plus a side and maybe I would be full. Service is a hit and miss. When I arrived lots of tables were left dirty. I feel like they were very short staffed with only 2 people working in the front at such a big restaurant. The place was very empty even during prime time. Free parking is available outside

    Ordered a Very Peri Chicken burger with peri fries for lunch. today. Ate half the burger and accidentally turned the burger over to find the bun was moldy on the underside. Explains why the bun was hard and tasted stale. Sent an email to Dale at Barcelo's to call me but to no avail (unbelievable). Had to insist to speak with the restaurant franchisee who blamed GFS for sending them moldy stale buns which they deliver each Thursday ... 5 days old which I question and claimed that mine was the only one with mold on it. Disgusting is half of it and to serve with NO QUALITY CONTROL in the KITCHEN is scary and 2 other customers waiting to be seated left!!!

    Peri plate #2

    We came early, shortly after the doors opened. So we did not have to wait too long for our food. Service was friendly and the staff came over to check on us several times. My friend commented that was the first time he encountered that, he likened it to a "fast food place" with service. Like Nando's, you order and pay for the food at the counter. Get your number and find a table. Food will be brought to you when ready. I had the Peri #2 plate which came with 1/4 chicken, a kebab and 2 wings. I had the corn and rice as sides. It was so good. The chicken was juicy and tender. The rice was ok, but I jazzed it up with the tangy lemon sauce. The corn was sweet. I had my chicken mild peri, but I mixed the supa peri and tangy lemon sauces on the side and dipped the chicken in it. Yums. I will be back now that I know the food is good. I find it way better than Nando's now (at least the outlets in Metrotown food court and the one on Kingsway).

    Another place located at Market Crossing...A lot of restaurants in here i am close to trying all of them...soon.... i love this gig Portuguese and South African cuisine combined and when you are inside its like you are in a Safari adventure, The interior is African inspired theme, i am loving it, so cool and so nice to have pictures. I had the peri plane #2 includes 1/4 chicken leg, 2 whole wings, 1 kebab with 2 sides, for the side dish i had peri fries and Portuguese salad. Only medium spicy but it feels like i am chewing a red chili . Excellent service and observes covid-19 precaution plus contact tracing...kudos to you guys...there was this poster that really made me smile a chicken that says please keep your distance...Loved it. Excellent service crews are wearing masks and sanitizer is displayed by the entrance, I believed this is a family restaurant specializing in a hot grilled chicken dishes..great meals, sandwiches, and dishes focusing on Portuguese cuisines. I love spicy foods so i enjoyed my meal, huge serving, the only thing is my peri fries, its kinda bitter, well not so sure maybe the spices is reacting on the potatoes. a bit salty as well, otherwise all good. big place maybe can house more than 50 clientele in one time. Very peaceful inside the lighting is soft and relaxing and with those wall painted safaried inspired mmmmm feels good. Good for family and kids friendly, free parking and wifi powered by the giants telephone company is free, slow but free. Accept cash, credit and debit, If i am not mistaken they serves alcohol beverages. Not bad to enjoy a flame grilled chicken

    They're open again for dining!! .......BUT for a limited number of people to enforce physical distancing. Nevertheless, the food is still very much delicious. The changes to the dining in experience are the limited space for dining in, there are no sauce/bottles at the tables (instead they serve in take out dip containers & ketchup packets) & I think I was told no self-serve drinks? But either way I ordered bottled drinks & drinking glasses. There was a little bit of an altercation between my friend & the cashier/server, but they were able to talk it out & settle things on a good note. I really appreciate that the cashier/server was able to humbly accept the constructive criticism for her self-reflection & self improvement. She was able to serve & tend to us on good terms. For the professional service & quality of food, I'm giving 4 stars.

    A whole chicken and 2 sides: rice and fries with extra sauce $31 before tip

    I didn't expect this sweetness when I ordered chicken, but the @barceloscanada 's service was unbelievably sweet. Food Review: While the delivery did come lukewarm, the sauce, seasoning and cooking of the chicken was spot on. I guarantee if I had eaten in, it would've been 10x better. Normally I am a sucker for some good fries, these fries were no exception; however, the best side was rice. It's cooked with a mixture of bloomed spices and peppers/jalapeños to pair with the sumptuous sauces of the chicken as to not overpower the whole meal. This is truly a hidden gem restaurant, for ~$30 we got 3 sides and a whole chicken, extra sauces and perfect service. I think @barceloscanada is our new go to Portuguese Chicken restaurant. Quality for Price: Taste: Service: Thank you @barceloscanada for having us for lunch .

    Service is perfect! They are polite and smile a lot. They explain to us how work the menu. Not so pricey, we paid 34$ for 2 (tax include) Chicken is really tasty, love the peri fries and their rice. Will come back soon!

    Large Garden Salad (6.29)
    Brent L.

    Pretty decent chicken. Came here with family today and we decided to split a Supremo Platter (26.99) with some extra sides. The whole chicken that we got was marinated beautifully with a sauce that was part tangy and part sweet. The skin and bits of the wings had nice grilled flavourings to them. The meat itself was quite moist, though I found the chicken to be a bit on the smaller side. Each Supremo Platter comes with your choice of a large side (for us, it was Large Peri Fries, and either Garlic Toast or Portugese Buns (we chose Garlic Toast). The Peri fries were hot, crispy, and ever so lightly seasoned. They went well with the little plastic packets of Chipotle Mayo sauce provided as well as the ever delectable Tangy Lemon sauce at every table. Seriously...I could slather that sauce on anything, it's so tasty! The Large Garden Salad (6.29) was fresh, crisp, and had a decent amount of seeds on it. The dressing was a very light Vinaigrette, and was a nice way to balance out all of the meat consumed. The Garlic Toast had a nice crunchy and garlic flavouring on the top, while surprisingly, the bottom was still fluffy and airy, as if the buns had just been baked! Some of the best garlic toast I've ever had. The Double Kebabs (8.29), while possessing strong lemony flavours and juiciness, were a bit on the small side for the price. The service was terrific though! The staff member that helped us, Randall, was very friendly and accommodating. We were a bit indecisive in what we wanted to order, yet he carefully explained and recommended items based on our preferences! He was also quite attentive in repeatedly coming back to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. Was very impressed!

    This Nando is located at the Big Bend Mall. There are plenty of free parking in front. I came here…read morefor dine in. B and I both got the peri chicken sandwich. He said the sandwich was a bit dry. Luckily there was lots of sauce and it had a lot of flavor. I found my sandwich was not bad. We also got double chicken thighs and that dish was very tasty. The fries came with the meal. This location is quite small and has limited seats. However, due to its location, it is almost never busy. Peri means pepper. Their chicken has a nice grilled pepper flavor. I did enjoyed my meal. Staff was friendly. We come here quite often.

    Can't go wrong with Nando's chicken! My other half was craving chicken and Mac & cheese so we went…read moreto get exactly that. We ordered a whole chicken ($27.50) with half lemon & herb and the other half mango & lime flavouring to share. We also ordered a side of Peri Mac ($2.99 for a side + $1.50 for the Mac). The chicken tasted as we expected, flavourful and juicy. The breast pieces were more dry but that is also expected. The Mac & cheese was a taste of childhood for us, but we found the portion to be small for how much we paid. We can always use more Mac!! The servers were nice and gave us glass cups so we could get water to drink. It's an order and then seat yourself, but they'll bring the food to you and come to clean up your dishes. It was busy in there for lunch on a weekend, and it felt homey and lively!

    Peri-peri chicken was juicy, tender, flavorful. Last time I had any peri-peri chicken was in…read moreFullerton California. However, that shop closed a little while after Covid restrictions were lifted. My husband & I shared a plate of chicken & sides of rice & fries. Service was excellent for a fast casual restaurant. The waitress checked in on us several times & filled our water glasses frequently. The tables were also quickly cleaned after customers left. Very nice experience.

    We always love visiting Nando's whenever we can since we sadly don't have one in Vegas…read more The staff are always friendly, and the interiors have cool South African themed decor. For this visit I had the chicken breast with the mango seasoning plus rice and cauliflower. Everything was delicious as usual. The chicken is always tender, juicy, and flavorful. I'm not a major cauliflower fan usually, but the way they prepare and season it is delicious! Don't miss the garlic bread either. We had this as a side, and it never disappoints. Crunchy bread with the perfect amount of garlic flavoring without being overpowering. The only drawback about this location is that they don't have a soda fountain for refills but rather only serve soft drinks in bottles. Definitely give Nando's a visit in a city near you!
