I don't have words to describe everything in that restaurant ! I'm from Brazil and can give you the certain that is the BEST Brazilian food that I ate in New York with the most kind and nice service! T

At Favela, the Moqueca de Peixe is simmered with dende oil, green herbs, tomatoes and coconut milk and is served with pirão , a starchy side made with cassava flour, greasy pan drippings and pureed. Read more

Favela offers a greatest hits of Brazilian cuisine-maybe you won't need to go to Newark's Ironbound anymore. You can't beat Favela for bar snacks , either: Pick the carne de sol Read more

Great vibes during their live (guitar acoustic and solo vocals) music nights.... get the beef ribs and dulce mousse ! Their churassco skewers looked unbelievably tempting!

Cindy C.

Best Brazilian food around the area!!! Worth the drive. Amazing authentic dishes and friendly staff ! Highly recommended!!

Omari Allen

The Strogonoff de Frango is a very nice Brazilian take on a traditionally Russian dish! Slightly sweeter and creamier that other versions I've had.

Fernando Bruno

My group ate "carne seca com aipim", "bolinhos de aipim com queijo", "queijo empanado" and they loved it! For entrees, "stroganoff de frango " "picanha", "Caldo verde", ALL AWESOME!!!

Angelica

Food was amazing. Perfect amount of flavor and the blacks beans , better then any cuban place I have ever been to ????.

Fernando Bruno

Conquer and destroy... Nothing was left... The rice and beans were great, the same goes for the Farofa! And for dessert , "bolo de banana flambado"... WOW!!!! Definitely coming back!

Cynthia Sainteus

The best! Get the misto 3. It's so good. I can't get enough of this place.

Holly Cynthia

Get one of the mistos . Beware though, it's a lot of meat. We always go home with leftovers. Totally worth it though!

Village Voice

They brought Coxinha de frango (chicken ), Risoles de camarao (shrimp ), Pastel de carne (ground beef ), Bolinho de bacalhau (cod fish and potato ) and Caipirinhas to Choice Eats

Nancerella

Nom Nom... Can't go wrong with authentic Brazilian cooking as my native Brazilian friends say about this place

Tony Xerri

Meh, I expected more. The salmon had a fishy aftertaste. The chicken soup was salty, and the stroganoff was too sweet/overly sauced. Strangely, what I liked the most, was the chimichurri sauce .

Thomas Matzner

Bangingggggg steak , sausage and beef hip wrapped in bacon . Rice and beans delicious too.

Jason Baughman-Oprică

Excellent food and great caipirinhas ! Happy hour M-F 5-7 and they are only $5. ????????

Paolo Barone

Pretty good place. Nice selection, the meat use really good and the desserts awesome

Fernanda Reuel

Get the stroganoff and the Miqueas de peixe con pirao . Honestly the BEST Brazilian food in NYC.

Randy SU2

So much good food to choose from. You can't go wrong with anything here. I suggest any of the Misto options.

Ana Carolina Miranda

The decoration is a little old, but the food is very good, very authentic . Try moqueca and picanha.

Nice little spot in Astoria. Check it out. Had lunch there. Principle plates are great!

Took mom here for Mother's Day, the service was horrible. The waiter (not w/ braces) was so rude. Purposely didn't bring me water but brought to the table who didn't ask for it! Only part of it!
