    Peri peri chicken, rice, potatoes, veggies
    Reh L.

    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!

    Pork and beans dilicious

    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. Only comment is that I wish some of their other menu options where listed on their menu as they have some really great side dishes!

    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.

    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!!

    Whole chicken, super tender, super moist....ordered it hot, has a nice kick to it

    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

    1/2 rotisserie spicy chicken with potatoes and veg.

    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!

    Half chicken with rice,  potato and a side of fish....DELICIOUS

    Solid, authentic, takeout Portuguese chicken place!…read more Storefront is super hidden in a plaza BEHIND another plaza that faces Kennedy Rd. You enter through an alley which opens up to another, newer plaza. Absolutely no menu posted anywhere - digital or otherwise. As a first-timer, this doesn't give me the best impression, but the friendly female worker behind the counter was quite friendly and seemed honest! She said that they were in the middle of revamping their menu. Eatery consists of a counter with chafing trays behind glass. I grabbed dobrada (tripe & bean stew) - $6 (XS) and a half chicken dinner w/ 2 sides - ~$12. Everything tasted good!

    Hello, foodies today I bring you a hidden gem of traditional Portuguese cuisine, I have had many of…read moretheir food options here, and the food has all been fabulous.  Today I happened to grab their chicken This place has great grilled and BBQ Portuguese chicken plus a ton of other items on their hot table everyday which they rotate on a daily bases including fish, Meat, ribs, pasta, fresh salad options, and many other amazing authentic Portuguese delicacies. Out of all the Portuguese restaurants in Brampton, they sure have the most options as far as what they offer on their hot table or made-to-order. They function mainly as a takeout place with some catering options. They are nestled in a plaza just of Kennedy and Clarence St in Brampton with plenty of parking. Their prices are also very reasonable for such great food made with lots of love and cooked in a very traditional way. Today I opted to grab their BBQ chicken special for $9.00 that includes ¼ chicken white or dark meat, BBQ or Rotisserie your choice with two sides, and a pop drink so I got there rice and potatoes you have the choice also of salad or veggies. You can't go wrong at this price. Food 5/5 The chicken was very nicely BBQ with a nice char on the skin and cooked thoroughly, great flavors and with their Spicy hot sauce, it's a kind of like a franks hot sauce taste, it's  a must-have on your chicken, they also give you the option of a mild version if you can't handle the heat. The small round Portuguese potatoes were also just amazing, perfectly cooked, and very tasty. The red Portuguese-style tomato-based rice was also cooked to perfection and delicious. Service 5/5 Super friendly staff, the service was quick and they take care of you with a smile, if you're looking for some amazing Portuguese authentic cuisine I suggest you stop into this place and grab some food you will not be disappointed.

I originally stopped by the plaza to pick up bubble tea from another unit and ended up discovering this amazing little restaurant serving fresh, hot food. It was Friday after 4PM, and the selection was fantastic--octopus dishes, rice, potatoes, rissóis, fish patties, fresh pork rinds, desserts, and more. I picked up the pork rinds, shrimp rissóis, and a fish patty, and every single item was delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The rissóis were especially good--crispy outside with a flavorful filling. There's also a Portuguese shop right next door, which made the visit even better. I found Terra Nostra Azores butter, cheese, Portuguese muffins, sardines, olives, and plenty of other imported goodies. Definitely a hidden gem. I'll be back regularly--this is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.

However, I decided to finally come here as my usual Portuguese chicken joints' quality have kinda gone downhill. Since this was my first time ordering, I wanted to call and make sure how much in advance I had to order and whether or not they had Bacalau. The man who I spoke to was very nice and said that I should give 30mins notice and that they did have Bacalau. A coupla hours later, when I placed my phone order...they didn't have any bacalau. So I had to order a side salad to sorta puff up the portion. Chicken was still being prepared by the time I arrived for pick-up. Rice/Parisienne potato sides are in chafing trays and it wasn't as hot as the freshly prepared chicken. Still good, but just at different temps. Greek Salad that I ordered, last minute, was freshly prepared, crispy, had all the components. Medium size served 2 large portions! I'd definitely come back again, but if I wanted a specific, non-chicken dish, I'll definitely clarify whether or not they had it!

And the prices are so affordable Fresh ingredients and talented cooks are the secret behind the love that clearly goes into the food at Gallo. Their grilled chicken is off the charts. The sides are all amazing. Rice is done to perfection. Potato's are amazing But believe it or not the secret that should be spoken of is the fish. Yes. A chicken place that makes amazing fish! We have eaten here maybe a dozen times by now. And yes the chicken is amazing. But last night we ordered a paella from Gallo. And to be honest I think it was literally the best paella I ever ate in my life. Definitely the best in Canada hands down. Rivals the ones I have had in Europe. The value for the quality of food is amazing at this place. You can't go wrong and absolutely need to check it out. I will keep going here at least 2-3 times a month. Maybe more You have to check this place out. I am going to use them to cater my next event. They make large trays at unbeatable prices with top quality and taste. Can't go wrong.

There was plenty of wait staff on site but communication between staff was quite poor. No one ever came by to see if we needed anything or to ask if we wanted additional drinks or the like. So we found ourselves having to constantly hail wait staff. A large portion of the weekend buffet was seafood. You would expect that when serving lobster and crab the tableware would include for seafood crackers. This is not the case. I asked for seafood crackers from two different wait staff and was advised they didn't have any. So I went to the matre d' and asked, she went into the back and brought some out for our table. If you serving lobster and crab, the restaurant should either provide crackers or pre- cut the claws ready to eat. With regard to the food, I would have thought they would have served some rolls or bread but we had to ask for this special. As well, most all the food was cold. So all in all, I expected more but a 3 star rating is about all I would give.

They are doing a promo currently $50pp as its usually I believe $70pp. The interior is old school vibe church decoration feeling with some antique stuff. I'm here for the food and not much on the decor tbh. The spread is all laid out in a L format. Its not the typical buffet spread of having appetizers, mains and desserts and such. In fact, I didn't see any desserts but you can order for additional cost. Appetizers I guess are the salads... There were a few meat options there, but I was there for the seafood spread... They had octopus chunks, squid rings, shrimp, cold crab legs, lobster with tomalley, fish, mussels... Surprisingly, i thought the octopus, squid was quite good in taste and texture. The lobster was a bit tough like the old Mandarin buffet days with overcooked lobster but had tomalley to enjoy if you like that. Overall, I think its simple spread but enjoyable. For the promo price point its good. They also have live music performance as well. Better to go early so the food doesn't get cold and less crowded.
