Churrasqueira Nova Esperanca - Portuguese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

This is the third time I've gone out of my way to pick up some chicken and they have none at 1:00 in the afternoon. I mean how does that happen? I will never go there again totally unreliable and a waste of time maybe I need to order 3 days in advance. read more

Best spot in Brampton for Portuguese chicken as far as I'm concerned. Staff is always lovely even at high stress time. read more

Ever since I visited Portugal I've been craving authentic peri peri chicken, and little did I know there's been a great churrasqueira under my nose the whole time. Nova has deliciously juicy peri-peri chicken coated with a light authentic sauce, and the family meal comes with seasoned rice, potatoes and steamed veggies. The hot sauce is also must try, it's got an amazingly flavorful heat to it that goes perfectly with all the dishes. Also was great value for the price. This will definitely be one of my go-tos when I'm in the area! read more

Churrasqueira Nova Esperanca - Peri peri chicken, rice, potatoes, veggies - Portuguese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

The best Portuguese chicken in Brampton - and 2nd place isn't even close! Food is excellent and the staff are very sweet. There's a reason this place is always so busy! I always phone ahead. Pro-tip: there pork ribs are amazing! Huge and delicious - made to order! read more

The portions here are huge and the line ups are long. Even on a weekday afternoon (i was there around 4 p.m.), I had to line up to pick up their famous chicken. The service is quick and friendly and their chicken was just what we expected from the reviews; moist, flavourful and bountiful! I would definitely drop in to try their octopus special on a Friday next time! read more

I went there yesterday to get food and was greeted with a simple look and no hello. walked up and said "hello, how are you only to get a "fine" and nothing back. Mentioned I was there for a preordered pick up and gave the number. I even made a joke about my wife ordering and I'm not sure what number she gave as she didn't give me all the info which she didn't even acknowledge it. Fine I get it you're just miserable and in no way going to interact with people who are there to buy food and give you business. To top it all of they charged me $3 more that my bill came out to and when I asked is there a surcharge or something she just reaposded with if you use a card we charge you 3% of you total. Like what the fuck for that should be part of your operations costs and had I known I would have brought cash. Thats so dumb to make your customers pay for using a device to pay for food they are selling and again it should be covered by them under operating costs. I'm sure if I paid cash they wouldn't give me 3% off. Complete bullshit to tell you the truth. As I waiting for food one of the ladies putting my food together just tosses the potatoes into the containing getting sauce all along the sides and alwas gives me less than wrote and you can see there's room for more food. Anyways both ladies putting my food together look like they smell shit 24 hours a day and no interaction and they seemed annoyed. Ive been buying food here for years but lately they have terrible attitudes, no greeting or appreciation for customers keeping them in business, no interactions and just call your name to give you your food. No good bye have a great day. Food is less and not as great, charging customers fees for using devices to pay for food should be covered by the business not us. Before I left I wanted to yell at everyone to say is it so hard to smile or interact with customers. Terrible attitudes and I'm not happy what so ever with how they operate and treat their customers. With that said I'm done buying food from this place and will take my hard earned cash somewhere else where I'm appreciated. Annoyed to see a once great establishment turn into a poorly operated business that doesn't care about their customers while giving less food and diverting their operating costs to customers with no announcement or telling them before hand. Good bye and good riddance. People stay away from this shit hole!! read more

horrible food, horrible staff. Not recommended at all. Stay away. Would rather eat fast food than this place.

Hello fellow foodies all I have to say is this is just another example of the marvelous food they serve at this portuguese take out ..just like moms beans and pork ...loaded with pork belly pork ribs and sausage perfectly seasoned just perfection highly recomended read more

Great Portuguese food for a great price. Had the Rotisserie chicken meal with Potatoes and Rice as well as some fried pork. Staff was polite and friendly. Service was quick. Would go back.

Churrasqueira Nova Esperanca - Piri Piri chicken, Tomato rice and Roast potatoes. - Portuguese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

This place is a real jewel in the heart of Brampton. I only wish there were more across the GTA. The food is spectacular (traditional flavour, not artificial): chicken, fish, large sardines, and more. The staff is friendly and kind. One could not ask for more..except for more such places. read more

I actually find the Rotisserie Mechanism quite interesting itself. It looked like a Metallic Medieval Torture Chamber with Gears and all. At least it beats out all those plain old boring Swiss Chalet style Rotisseries. I walk in to see the mid-age Man greet me and as a standard I requested for the usual Meal. While he did so I browse the Drink Fridge and notice exactly what I needed for a quick pick-me-up, Guaraná Antarctica ! When I turned around to face him, he got the Chicken from a Tray while scooping out some Tomatoed Rice and Parisian Potatoes. Nice Gentleman because he offered slightly more to me as it was within half an hour prior to closing the doors. While I was there I even noticed that he brought the food out to the door where a Peel Police Officer was waiting in the Cruiser. Yes, between himself and the women inside they did bicker a bit but I guess that's what they mean by Tough-Love. 1/4 Chicken, Dark Meat Dinner. He added 0.5 of 1/4 Chicken as Bonus. 1/4 + (1/4 x 1/2) = 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8 Chicken Dinner! The Rotisserie does give the Chicken a good browning on the skin while the Meat is A-Okay. The Peri-Peri Sauce has a good Spicy TANGY flavour on it as much as a few others(Non-Brampton) I've been to. The Parisian Potatoes are standard while the Al-dente Tomatoed Rice give some resistance that I didn't even mind it wasn't the Saffron Rice I have a preference for. Yeah, sad that I've some some soft mushy Tomatoed Rice. read more

I've been on the quest for a month now looking to try different Portuguese Restaurants. Came across Nova recommended by fellow Yelpers. I ordered the Family Combo #2 which includes 2 whole chickens, large Potatoes & a large Rice. I also ordered an extra Large Garden Salad. Everything with 2 Ginger ales came to $54. Let me just tell you the food value for this price is outstanding!!! We are a family of four with my hubby (who eats for two) and this will last us Two nights dinner. The Salad was very fresh, rice was good, potatoes were good but a little mushy. Chicken was okay but definitely needs the accompanied Piri Piri Sauce. Place was very clean, service was very friendly and place was constantly busy which means you know the food is being replenished constantly. Will definitely be back!! read more

I've been here before in the summer and had their rotisserie chicken with rice and salad, it was very good. I stopped by for lunch and enjoyed the same swapping salad with potatoes. Chicken moist and freshly cooked, rice was good and the potatoes were okay. Service was brisk and friendly. read more

Very busy, no frills, reliable and affordable Portuguese takeout chicken. You're not getting a meal that's going to knock you out or anything, but the chicken is still pretty inexpensive and much better than ones you'd get at any grocery store. Stop by at dinner time and there's consistently several people in line - but they keep it moving. Also means the chicken will be fresh. You have a choice of rotisserie or grilled too. Chicken: 4 Sides: 3 Value: 4.5 read more

We were randomly searching for something new( for us)in this area on this Valentine s day and google took us to here. It was our first ever Portuguese experience . It's not this classy, romantic, get together kind a place. But the food - which is what really matters is Great. I guess it was more of a homely touch and we loved it. The portions are huge. The chicken combo was really good. Although one suggestion, I would say if they can put in some more options ( I did see many items on display which was not listed in the menu) or add more details to the menu, it would be very helpful for first comers :). But a definite go to place , if u r hungry ... nothing Fancy , just Good Food read more

Had it for the first time...definitely going again. Chicken was moist and tender, small place, was really busy on a Sunday but fast service read more

Excellent restaurant for take out Portuguese style rotisserie chicken. Prices are very reasonable and portion sizes are bountiful. They also have a number of items that don't show on their wall menu but have up front. I had a half rotisserie chicken with Potatoes and veggies. Saw the grilled Charros at the last minute when ordering and couldn't resist. Would definitely recommend! read more

Churrasqueira Nova Esperanca - 1/2 rotisserie spicy chicken with potatoes and veg. - Portuguese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

My favourite Portuguese restaurant! Aside from their chicken being tasty and their generous serving sizes, I love their steamed veggies, parisienne potatoes and fish filet. I have yet to try their other items. This place is more a takeaway as opposed to a dine-in. You won't be disappointed! read more

I ordered takeout and got the rotisserie chicken with potatoes and rice and a custard pie based on the reviews on this place. I was craving Portuguese chicken since I used to eat it regularly when I was in misssissauga at Mario's BBQ or Barraida. I was so disappointed in the quality of food, the chicken was slimey on the inside and gamey and sticky on the outside, the meat fibres were prominent which lead me to believe I received a heavily frozen chicken that was likely express-thawed since the chicken smelled so bad I couldn't bear eating it. The smell from the chicken seeped into the potatoes ruining everything. The custard pie was soggy. Not ordering from here again. read more

Best Portuguese chicken in the city! The greatest thing about this restaurant is that no matter how large the line, you usually get your food within a reasonable time frame. Their systems are just that good for cooking. Be warned: Their medium sauce has a wicked kick to it! If you are weary of any heat in your food, stick to mild! read more

The food here is delicious reasonably priced with filling portions. I ordered the chicken ( which was moist and delicious) and my heat level was hot...and boy they weren't messing with the pepper on that. The Rice was delicious and the little round potatoes were packed with flavor. read more

Churrasqueira Nova Esperanca - Half chicken with rice, potato and a side of fish....DELICIOUS - Portuguese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Bland bland bland. Very disappointing. The rice and potatoes are very bland and the chicken is basic, the hot sauce is also basic and not very hot. read more

We have been a customer for over 10 year s. Ribs and Chicken is excellent! Favourite restaurant in town!Can't go wrong getting food here.

Our favourite Portuguese take away!! Food is always 100% delicious and fresh. Excellent customer service and great prices! We first ordered here for my engagement party a couple years ago when our other restaurant messed up and we needed food urgently. They had no issue providing food for 70 people very quickly and affordably. People were asking where we got the food from. The line is sometimes long but that's because they are popular and busy. You can always phone ahead too. I highly recommend anyone to go here! read more

We got the family meal #2 and got two rotisserie chickens, rice and potatoes. The chickens were moist and delicious, we got one mild and one medium. Honestly, the medium wasn't that hot, so if they have a hot option and you like heat.. get that. Their hot sauce is no joke, unlike some other reviews so you can always kick it up a notch. The side dishes were huuuuge, we had rice and potatoes left over for days. And I could not stop eating the potatoes. They were tender but had a good nite to them and were sliced perfectly. It was fast, and cheap ($44 for two chickens and sides that were enough for multiple meal) and I would definitely go back. read more

excellent portguese food. a family of 4 can eat for just over $20 with a whole chicken, rice and potatoes and they taste delicious. also have a cooler with fancy olives, drinks and desserts read more

This is one of the best places for rotisserie or grilled chicken in Brampton. The service can be hit or miss though and you might experience a bit of a language barrier when ordering depending on who's taking it. But the food is extremely good! read more

Great rotisserie chicken! The peri peri sauce is very flavourful. I go there at least twice a month.

I have been in customer service most of my life and I can honestly say it doesn't get much better than this. Staff know you by name and that goes along way. I have been getting food here for private and work functions and the food has always been great. Yesterday I had a big order for a shower and everyone loved the food...cod fish; pork and clams; chicken etc... everything was delicious and most importantly, exactly the way I ordered it. So thank you to all the staff for doing a superb job. A very satisfied client Sandra read more

Been going here for over 10 years. I have tried the other places but always end up back here. It is the Best Chicken in Brampton. Also I have bought their catering items on occasion and always get compliments on how good the food tastes. This place will always hold a place in my stomach read more

Cannot speak highly enough of the food here. A great takeout spot; order from here for your next party!

I have ordered catering from this resto many times over the years and each time it has been top shelf catering! The food is well prepared and presented. The service is pleasant and efficient. The food is fresh and hearty. Most recently, i ordered the suckling pig and my guests were thrilled with the taste and texture. We also had left overs for days which was wonderful. We love the food. Thank you for being reliable and affordable. read more

Been going here for years, from the time they just opened up and the old cranky man was working by himself, to when his wife and daughter joined up with him. Was just in last week and the daughter has taken it over and the old man has finally retired. Frankly I won't miss him because he was a bitter grump, but the girl is very friendly and remembers her regulars. I always get the same thing, the 2-chicken family pack and call in advance to request 1 grilled (needs 40min cooking time.) and 1 rotisserie style. Grilled is 50 cents more, but I love having the two types for contrast. Tried their ribs on a recent visit and they weren't bad either, dry rubbed with no sauce. Potatoes and rice are nothing special but aren't really offensive either. Throw a bit of the piri piri sauce on 'em and you're good to go. Shrimp fritters looked interesting too, but I already had enough food to feed my house on the last visit, so I'll check those out next time. I still say they've got the best Portuguese chicken in Brampton (Better than Martin's, better than Lisboa). 50 cent surcharge for debit is annoying. read more

Best portuguese chicken in brampton! Get there early, almost always a line up. Hot sauce for the chicken is so good!!

This is what a great mom and pop take out restaurant is suppose to be. Great fresh food, excellent service, real culture. Whole chicken and tray of potatoes about $16.00. I would give them 5 stars if they did not charge for interact. What is this 1985. read more

THE BEST PORTUGUESE FOOD AROUND!!!! I always get the chicken on the grill NOT ROTISSERIE if you want rotisserie go to swiss chalet real Portuguese chicken is made on the grill over charcol & this place makes it right!!! If you like spicy there hot sauce is really good you can get it on the side or smothered over the chicken. There fried fish filets are actually crispy & golden unlike most places around that use old oil and there fish comes out dirty brown and saturated. Another must try here is there shrimp patties you can tell there home made SO GOOD!!!! They make them fresh when you order I always get atleast 6 and I end up eating half if not all on the drive home. read more

Best portuguese chicken ever!!! Always fresh and consistently cooked to perfection complimented by tasty rice, potatoes or veggies. Ernesto, Nancy, Steve and Alex are always friendly and happy to serve you. Half chicken dinners will easily feed two hungry people - best value for your money. Phone in your order to avoid the line ups.... read more

Had a horrible experience here today. as I went to open the door it was locked, I looked at the hours of operation on the door and seen that they were closed. it was seven minutes after 7. Whatever. What really got me was the staff inside laughing loudly and making and making rude noises at me. What a way to treat a customer, you've lost me for good and I will tell everyone I know about my horrible experience. read more
