Headed here with Groupons, and whilst I've not have good experiences with Brazillian food in the…read morepast, I decided to try this place after heard good things about the Rodizio Grill. Places with supposedly endless supplies of meat carved at your table. However, based on my experience, I fail to understand how this business stays viable. We arrived at 1pm. There was only one other party, and they looked native brazillian. We were shuffled to a table in a very tightly packed area where getting out would be difficult. We asked if we could re-locate and reluctantly the guy serving us agreed. A major difficult is that the staff say very little and presume you understand exactly how this whole Rodizio Grill works. Where more people came in during lunchtime with their Groupons, the confusion on what to do was repeated, and the waiter absolutely looked like he was tired of actual businessa and having to interact with people. Whilst I try not to always judge a place on service, this person interacted with customers with borderline contempt. It's fair enough if you're stressed. But this is your job, and to ruin my perception of the business is not any fault of mine. Anyway, to make things worse, we arrived just after a powercut had taken out the electricity. It was quite sunny outside which made the interior look all that much darker. We were not told anything regarding this, just to start helping outselves to the salads and other buffet style food laid out in the back of the shop. It's incredibly difficult when you can't actually see anything! Not to mention it took about 30 minutes for any meat to start appearing... Onto the meats. Given the description of the voucher, I was under the impression that the meat would be cooked to order. However, meat comes around in cycles every 10-15 minutes and you don't get a choice! It's either Yes/No to that round. As non-beef eaters, there were then rounds we couldn't partake in. The one highlight of the experience is that the grill chef noted this and didn't offer us any more beef and went out his way to substitute beef rounds with either pork chicken or lamb. That said, the variety is not as wide as the groupon claims. Not once did chicken heart appear. And some meat was near on inedible. What we did get to try were lamb, pork sausage, pork shoulder, chicken thigh and pork belly. A lot of this was tough, chewy. However when meats came around again, they would sometimes be better or worse. Either way, it was disappointing. Not to mention we were asked a few times whether we had finished, the first time after only having had 2 meat servings. Almost felt like we were being rushed out. The salads/rice/beans were good, but were nothing special. We felt the meats were supposed to be the attraction, but were not good enough, whilst being filled with salad that were actually a lot better. The cocktail was good, but again, I thought we would get a choice. But all you get is Cachaça, which I can't complain about, since I love it. Also the dessert is just an Iceland style chocolate gateau. Disappointing to the max. My dad asked if were could have instead the blackforest gateau right next to it. We were strictly told no. I was surprised, as it wouldn't have cost them anything more, and bought them some goodwill. In all we didn't feel well treated during this lunch and would never go back again. The Groupon choice was restricted to items not clearly explained at the start, service was abrupt and contemptuous, food not near good enough to serve to paying public. I really wanted to have my mind changed about Brazillian food, but this only cemented my bad (personal) experiences with it. Other Groupon holders seemed to be going through a similar experience as eye contact said everything. How this company even managed to sign up to Groupon given the horrendous difficult making a telephone booking is beyond me.

However, I went again based on the experience I had the last time and just didn't enjoy it that much. The first time I went to this restaurant, the ambience was great, there was a live Tango dance going on, the food was good and it was generally very lively. I went again at around the same time on a Friday evening and it just seemed like an old pub people got tired of going to. There was no music, the napkins had changed to paper napkins and the service was so tacky that I wanted to walk behind the bar and sort it out. But I wanted food more. I opted for the steak again because I enjoyed it the last time and it was just OK this time around. The vegetables to me tasted like frozen vegetables which had been steamed and not flavoured at all. I was dashing salt everywhere. I am disappointed to say that I didn't enjoy it the second time because I did like the restaurant the first time around. Would I be lucky the third time?

Unfortunately the food did not quite live up to expectations. We shared the Coxinhas de Frango, three balls stuffed with shredded chicken. Nothing awful but they were a bit on the bland side which wasn't helped by the shredded white chicken meat. The Feijoada tasted fine but it just reminded me of something you probably could have made yourself: a black bean stew with bits of meat. I enjoyed it and it definitely had a homemade feel to it. The Favela Cantagalo was the highlight. The beef was tender and there were a lot of nice flavours, especially if you like plantains. I really liked the presentation: lots of bright colours! A very fun dish which my partner ended up eating. Despite everything, I found the sweetness of the plantains overwhelming the dish although this is more personal preference than anything else. The service is very friendly which is the biggest plus about this place. They do not take cards though. Cash only!

At this restaurant I was not impressed. This is a rustic restaurant with a lot of potential for…read moresuccess however it did not impress me in certain aspects. Here are a few: 1) Decor and restaurant location: I couldn't find this restaurant at first but when looking for it, I saw only a Brazilian flag on a window. No signs and made it confusing to go to this place. When I entered, this so called "restaurant" was in a vape shop and I personally don't think anyone would've seen the restaurant. Now inside the restaurant was authentic in other aspects, there were some good uses of decor (e.g: the paper mache houses) however no lighting and overall, looks more like a rustic cafe than a restaurant. 2)Food: Me and a friend had ordered 2 traditional meals, one was a beef meal and the other was a pork meal. This was good in flavor however bringing the plates, I felt that it was not adequate to use so many plate to serve one main and this wasn't big either. We also ordered dessert and it was a flan, really nice and tasty. 3) Service and hospitality: Utterly disgraceful. The manager was nice and I felt that he was somewhat welcoming however the waiter that attended us was not, primarily to me. My friend who was there was a woman and so the waiter attended and was smiling more to her than to me and then in food. The dessert, she got more than I did and I am a man. This gave me the impression that the waiter and cooks were sexist because as a customer and a man, I deserve the same quantity as any other person. I am also Peruvian so in South America, this would be unacceptable at the highest level. I told the waiter I spoke Spanish but he did not and so made the language barrier difficult. The waiter talked too fast and since we did not know Portuguese, the guy still kept talking like that. 4)Pricing: decently priced however not worth it in my opinion (e.g: beef meal was £20 however took long to come). Overall this is what I have to say: If you want food at a cheap price in cheap "restaurant" with cheap staff who treat you differently if you are of a certain gender and are of Latin or Hispanic heritage, come here! I would advise you that you don't because of the review I have written and because of the one star. Thanks for listening!

So unless you have a car or live in Chelsea, it was citymapper to the rescue to find this place (look for the neon bunga bunga sign). They've gone for fun over authenticity with the Brazilian beach shack theme, so just go with it! My mate had booked the bar on the upper floor for private hire until 10.30pm, after which they let the public in too. It's a fun, brightly-coloured space complete with waiters in lifeguard sweatshirts and shorts, and a bar made out of the shell of a camper van. Caipirinhas are the bar's speciality and the barman was happy to mix up any flavour I wanted. They're pricey but strong, and served in (impossible to hold!) little buckets with straws. Once they opened the place up though it got overcrowded pretty quick, and we found it even worse on the next floor down when we went for a dance. I'd had quite enough caipirinhas to keep me going by then but I don't think I'd have had the patience for the massive crowd at the bar then anyway! It was a fun eve but I couldn't help getting the feeling from the door staff, bar staff, cloakroom lady and drinks prices that this is an a-ok place that thinks it's a lot better than it actually is...
