    Beef ribs
    Inquiring M.

    I come here allllllllll the time! Their food is off the hook. Most times I get the whole chicken with rice and fries. But have ventured out and tried several other times on their menu and am always satisfied! Their chicken is beautifully seasoned to perfection every time. Their fries are always fresh and crispy, with the right amount of salt. The vegetable rice is always cooked just right, never soggy or hard, doesn't matter if I come earlier in the day or later before they're due to close. The main guy who runs the counter is always friendly and offers a warm welcome when I visit. Just hands down a great operation for delicious food at a super reasonable price. Like I said I go here at least 2x a month, and will most likely be there next week since it's Memorial Day weekend. I'd highly recommend this place and have put a few of my friends and family on already.

    Simple Portuguese joint. Good food with an extremely great price. Friendly staff, no seating (completely understandable during covid). Could of definitely used some kind of sauce but all around really good.

    Called in a take out order. I ordered the garlic shrimp appetizer and the house steak special. The man on the phone told me about 20 minutes and that's about how long it took. I arrive a bit early So I waited a couple minutes and noticed that my food was being made fresh, which I always appreciate. I noticed they had a variety of drinks including the Portuguese soda Sumol. When the food was ready I paid and headed home. As we finally began to are our meals the shrimp was immediately a favorite. The steak was a little bit dry and over cooked. I asked for medium and it came well. Other that the steak being a tad dry the shrimp, rice, and French fries were absolutely delicious. I will be coming back and trying other items on their menu.

    The food here is so good!! The best Portuguese bbq ! My favorite is the chicken and the rice and fries that comes with it are really good too. Danny the owner is the friendliest, nicest person. I definitely would recommend this place!

    Ordered on Saturday night around dinner we were told 20 minutes which wasn't bad.Never ordered from here before and had no idea how big the portions were! We said it was for 4 people so he said the 2 chickens was enough as it comes with rice and fries. We also wanted ribs he told us that's enough for 7-8 people. The ribs and chicken were both delicious! And their rice is sooo good. The ribs are dry but give sauce on the side. There's only one sauce though and it's hot. Definitely will be back!

They seem to be doing a lot of take out, but there is a dining room with 6 or 7 tables. We were greated and served by Alexandria, who was friendly and attentive. She made some recommendations that did not disappoint. The sauteed chicken with garlic sauce had tons of flavor. We tried all the empanadas : chicken, beef, and spinach-cheese and they were excellent. Super-flaky and big and tasted great. We also got the beef short ribs and they were tender the way i needed. The bbq chicken and pork rib combo is another great dish. The Pork cubes dish has plenty of chorizo with loin chunks and sauteed veggies. Everything came with a brocolli, cauliflower and carrot medly that was cooked perfectly. I hate overcooked veg, and these were just right. The rice side dish was large and fluffy and I kept going back for more of the black beans side. This place is worth a return, the standouts being the garlic chicken and crispy empanadas.

The food here tends to be filling at a decent price while the service and atmosphere are so-so. I ordered my usual 2-piece seekh kababs and a butter naan. They brought out shaami kababs instead while I am almost positive I had stated seekh kababs, which is what I normally get there. Another 10-15 minutes passed; the correct order was finally brought out and the incorrect order taken away. The cook himself brought it out, staring at me creepily. Anyway, I started to eat and after a while, thought I had bit into a bone or something hard. When I spit it out, it was a flat white plastic bread clip/tab often used to close packets of burger buns, and it wasn't exactly small. I could easily have choked on it or worse, died. At the very least, it could have caused internal bleeding. I immediately asked for the manager and gave him a piece of my mind in a loud, trembling voice, obviously didn't pay and stormed out, letting them know that I have taken pics and can sue them if I want to. I have sworn not to return and warn others to be very careful with the food there if they decide to go.

Even though it had just…read morerecently opened, it was already bustling, which made me so happy to see a new business thriving--and for good reason! I love supporting new restaurants, especially when they bring something special to the table. We were seated immediately, but I will say the service could use some improvement. It wasn't the most welcoming, and we had to wait a bit before someone took our order. That aside, we were excited to dig in. We ordered, Gol Goppay - Unfortunately, this was not a hit for me. It was way too salty and lacked the depth of flavor it should have. Kaptaan Karahi is the star of the show! The shorba, the masalas, the flavors--each bite had us fighting for more. Their chef knows exactly what they're doing, and this dish alone will bring me back. Lastly the Peshwari Naan - Another must-try! The size alone is mind-blowing (just check out my pics!), and it's made fresh in the tandoor. Slathered in butter, it's phenomenal. I'm already planning my next visit when I'm back in New Jersey. If you're looking for bold, authentic flavors and freshly made naan that's larger than life, this place is worth checking out!

Service could have been better but can't complain. The kebab was really well prepared and juicy and flavorful . Other kebabs in oak tree rd are pretty dry and tastes ok. This one was just amazingggg . The flavor was really good and right spice ! We ordered behari kebab I think. 16$ for it is a good price . They don't give bread with it though. Had to order it extra. Great experience overall. Wanted to give 4 starts but gave it 5.. they deserve it ..
