    2 whole chicken family meal 2
    Nelo L.

    Takeout only. Farol is always a great place to Get takeout fresh food always done right. Very busy during the lunch rush and holidays, I recommend ordering ahead of time. This is 2 hole chicken family special 2 I added a large sumol and still very reasonable With the amount of food ordered

    My favourite Portuguese chicken place by far! Farol is s a staple for us at potlucks & friends' get-togethers. This time I brought it home for a family dinner, so got a couple of meal deals with potatoes, rice & veggies on the side. Their chicken is so flavourful & grilled to perfection. Don't forget to get their hot sauce - it is THE BEST! The meals are really affordable for the quality & quantity they give you. I called ahead and the order was piping hot & ready to go when I got there. So so good!

    Whole chicken cut up...

    Mind blowingggg! Pooof*** How have i not heard of this place?? I've driven by it numerous times. Thanks to Yelp, I think I just found my new Portuguese go to place! This chicken is ridiculously yummy, moist, fresh and authentic! The hot sauce is soooooo good! I want to slather that stuff on everything! Everything I tell you! It's not that spicy either. The potatoes and rice were perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection and the salad was fresh! I got a family meal deal #1 to go for $23.... It Included a whole chicken, small rice, medium potatoes or fries, medium salad and their piri piri sauce. Amazing value for what you get and the quality is outstanding! My husband thinks it's better than our precious Brasas chicken.... He may be right .... Do I smell leftovers? Drool** P.S. I called in advance to order my family meal deal and they cut the chicken when I arrived so that it stayed moist... I think they always do this since the gentleman in front of me also pre ordered and had to wait for his chicken to get cut as well. This is how it should be my friends! Makes a huge difference!

    If I was rating Farol based on value, it would be a 5*. However, based on food alone, it was a disappointing 2-2.5*. First of all, lemme give you an idea of how much food you get for the Family Combo #1 - $23: 2 - Lg Rectangular takeout containers (1 full of Parisian potatoes, 1 full of steamed veg) 1 - Lg Square styro for 1 Portuguese chicken (chicken appeared flattened and was cut into smaller pieces upon request) 1 - Sm Square styro of Rice I'd say that there was 5-6 servings in total, so it's A LOT of food. Very good for a quick dinner for a family. Whole combo was pulled together in a coupla minutes, so it's fast. No doubt about that. HOWEVER, where Farol disappoints is that it's unfortunately NOT the "best Portuguese chicken in Mississauga", as per their sign, at least not during my visit. Chicken was dry and bland, despite the added 'spicy' sauce. Potatoes, veggies, although plentiful, were bland as well. Rice was slightly more seasoned, but I'd say still on the bland side. What got me was the sheer and utter DRYNESS. Bland, I can fix with a salt shaker, but I cannot fix dry once everything is already cooked. I'd give this place another try, as the counter staff was really nice and efficient, maybe the cook/chicken just had an off-day.

    Great chicken

    We walked in there at 6:15 to buy chicken. There was a 10min wait for chicken. There was just one customer there. While waiting others walked in. In the hot table they had fish which looked old and dry. But I was there for the chicken rice and potatoes. It was all fresh and worth the wait. This meal was so good this might be the best Portuguese chicken in the GTA. Great service from the guy there. I will return. Just a note get there before 6pm They close at 7pm Make sure it's all fresh.

    Booked the Flames Castle for a special occasion. Getting seated and having drink orders taken was…read moreall good. However, on the down side the service was not very good. 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.

    What an incredible find tucked away in a small unit along busy Cawthra Rd, between Dundas and…read moreQueensway. This place is a true Portuguese gem. 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!

We arrived at 3:30pm, ordered our drinks and then our food. An HOUR LATER I asked the waiter where our food was and she said " Oops, we gave your food to another table and you will have to wait another 15 minutes We asked the manager what happened and he said " that's just the way it is" I then asked the dumb owner and he arrogantly said "well we have been in business for 40 years and we please most people " No " I'm sorry, let me make it right" This just reinforced how low iq and ignorant Portuguese people are.

I've been holding off doing reviews because we've now been back at least half a dozen times. Instead of listing what we ate....at this point we've basically tried everything on their menu, including the seafood rice for 2 (really it's more like for 4). Not knowing anything about Portuguese wines, we've also tried both white and red wines at the waitress' recommendations - all good. Do make reservations on the weekend - it's not a big restaurant but I'm always amazed how the 3 of them took care of everyone without skipping a beat. These days with staffing shortage I've been to places with more wait staff that couldn't keep up like these 3 ladies do. Great 360 experience!
