I'd say the food was good, not great. The price was about what it is in the States, roughtly $45-50. The service stood out for me though, very attentive and polite.

I loved the meat, maybe not all the cuts but in general. The service was great and they were really friendly. They kept bringing the meat as soon as it was ready.

So, the food was great, really enjoyed the picanha. Mouthwatering medium well with a slight crispy layer on the outside. Good service, nice tastes and very well spiced fillet mignon. I also enjoyed the lamb chops, way better than other similar establishments. A nice night...out, recommended.More

As a big lover of good food and amazing meat. We were very suprised to find that this was not meeting up with our standards. Staff could not speak or understand English very well, for that reason the request made to the staff was not...understood. The salad bar was mostly empty and the selection of cooked food was cold. The brown rice salad was old and did not taste well and had a very bad smell. I am sorry but this was my first bad food experience in the UAE.More

This is my third time here, but although the price is cheaper now, service was less than the the previous two times

Our daughter had been telling us about a restaurant that served meat on skewers, so we were expecting kebabs how wrong could we be. As with other reviews the salad bar could be better but the beetroot humus was very tasty. On to the meat....We were asked for our cooking preferences which was easy for the staff being two medium and two medium rare. The meat is cooked and brought to the table on skewers then carved, the quantity is your decision. There were six beef, five lamb, three chicken, prawns and halloumi all cooked and seasoned perfectly. The dessert was grilled pineapple coated in sugar and cinnamon again very tasty. Our only complaint was that there were very small gaps between the different servings meaning, sometimes, there was not time to finish one meat before another turned up, longer intervals would allow you to savour the meat to a greater extent, this is easily addressable. Will definitely eat here again.More

We decided to take our children here as we had enjoyed it before. We walked in to the empty restaurant and there was no staff to be seen. We almost left but someone finally came to seat us. The salads are fine but the selection...was small. The meat was the real disappointment. It was tough and not cooked properly (either over or under). They also brought it out too quickly to even take a bite of what you had just been served. Felt that we paid way too much for average to below average food even with our 2 for 1 discount. The view is very nice but it’s not enough to bring us back. Such a disappointment!More

We've been here with a group of friends and we had a wonderful time! Location is great, right in Souk Qaryat Al-Beri and from restaurant you can have a beautiful view, they have also a nice terrace. Cuisine is Brazilian and we had Churascaria for...lunch, which is from 1:00-6:00pm, 150AED/ pers and they accept also Entertainer. Churascaria is basically this kind of serving the food, of different cuts of meat from different animals and parts. For lunch there are 10 types of meat, beef, lamb and chicken, and for dinner, 16 types including seafood and is 190AED/ pers. Beside the meat, you have also a salad/ sides/ desserts buffet, unlimited, and in the price drinks are not included. On the tables you will find some round supports for each customer, with green color on a face and red on the other. Green means that you are ready to receive the meat, and when you turn it on red it means that you will take a break. Very easy. Food is simply amazing. The salad/ sides bar is perfect as it is, not too various but the taste for each one is really good. Different fresh vegetables, tasty bread, cheese, a lots of things with smoked salmon, pastas, grilled vegetables etc. About the meat, what can I say else than that it reached the highest standards for a good, juicy and tasty meat. I am not a meat lover, but this type of meat I really like it. Deserts were heaven, so simple but so nice. Staff was really great, smiling all the time and presenting everything what we've been asking. Overall everything was perfect, I really cannot understand how this restaurant can have only 3.6 rate on Zomato, seriously guys, considering the cost over quality&quantity, it deserve a big 5! Great job Fogo de Brazil, we'll come again for sure, very soon! :)More

Given that I’ve never been to a churrascaria, I can’t compare it to anything else. But, we absolutely loved it. The salad bar is thin, but then who goes for a salad bar in Brazilian steakhouse. We were the only ones there. It was 195dhs...per person. It has a nice balcony with a great view of the grand mosque for when you need to get some air and prepare for round two. They use some kind of spice that I just can’t put my finger on. All the meats were very tasty from the tri-tip to the chicken, shrimp and lamb. Filet mignon was my favorite. I’ve never seen it done like that before. It was so tender and juicy. The service was good, and overall we just really enjoyed the experience.More

I visited here recently with my family. The workers there are very friendly and nice environment. The negative points I would say was the pasta did not seem fresh in the salad section (or undercooked a touch). It would also be nice if alcohol was...available as this is the first Brazilian that does not offer. This would put me off weekend visit. However, the meats brought to our table were really, really nice.More

Came here for the first time - to celebrate our son's birthday. Frankly, wish we'd gone to Chamas - tried and tested already and much better. Place was almost empty and the bright lights and décor do nothing for the atmosphere. The servers were all...friendly enough but, sorry, it felt more like a clinic waiting area. At AED275 per person without drinks it is AED45 more than Chamas. There is no alcohol - no self-respecting Brazilian would go to a churrascaria with out a caipirinha or two! I understand why of course but it just takes something away from the experience - if the restaurants in The Hub (WTC) can do it then why not here? The salad bar is very thin indeed - it's almost like they put just enough in the dishes for a handful of people and only add to it when more people come. The beans should be black and not red (different taste); no potato salad; no fries, no plantain, no banana, no yucca. All normal Brazilian accompaniments. Carrot and ginger soup a bit tasteless. Just Caesar salad dressing - no thousand island, cocktail, honey mustard, blue cheese etc. The meat was generally good quality but with so few people in the restaurant it was almost cooked to our demand which meant some waiting time. The meat servers themselves (mostly Brazilian) were good and friendly. Thanks to them. At least they had the traditional cinnamon pineapple - but sadly the second one was tough and tasted sour. Even cocktails had the look and taste of being made by someone who's just been taught how to make them. The attempt to do something for my son's dessert - which was a complimentary - was slightly disappointing - the plate emblazoned with 'H B'. The attempt was appreciated but the execution left a bit to be desired. Oh and the brigadeiro was really a chocolate mousse with tiny chocolate balls on the top - not the same at all - as the Brazilians there assuredly know. But thanks for trying. To be honest Fogo de Brazil feels like a half-hearted attempt to create a churrascaria just off the island for people who don't want to travel to Chamas. Even the name is not 100% right - Brazil in Portuguese is spelt with an S not Z. As I say the meat was generally good and I liked the predominantly Brazilian staff but they must all be a bit embarrassed that this is a long way from a real Brazilian rodizio restaurant. If the owners are interested in getting better reviews and adding more clientele I think some relatively small changes could make a real difference. Until then I fear it's still trying to be something that it's not yet.More

This restaurant has a really good view, lovely decorations and amazing food. It's a buffet service with a Salad bar. Different type of meats, steaks, chicken, seafood comes right to your table. The staff are very friendly. The place was almost empty when I ate...there, but it was a weekday night. It is a bit pricey for large groups as the price is 215 AED per person for Lunch and 315 AED for Dinner. But the food is really good, so maybe for a special occasion it will be perfect.More

I decided to try the new brazilian restaurant in abu dhabi after reviewing all the feedbacks on it... most was great... i visited with my wife for a dinner experience and really the meat and the cuts were amazing... been around the city for a...good steak abd was disappointed most of the time but this o e serves the real certified angus beef as they claim.. i enjoyed every bite abd cut... we stayed for a good hour and a half till we have no room to eat anymore... the shisha was great at the ebd too... i am surprised when people go to a good steak house abd expect everything for free. . There is either quantity and cheap places or quality and good price.... i would not go to a quantity place as the meat quality will be below avarage .... definitly recommanded.... especially the halloumi and the cinnemon glazed pineappleMore

I'd been to Fogo de Chao in Sao Paulo and other churrascarias there, so I decided to try the Fogo de Chao of UAE aka Fogo de Brazil. We had to option to sit either on the terrace or else inside the restaurant. We were...there about 9pm and the restaurant wasnt full. The spread is nice--Salad bar, cheese selection and some hot main courses on the buffet. Rest is the barbecue on the table and it keeps on coming until you can take it anymore. Servers ask you how do you like the meats to be cooked (unique in this region). Almost you get all the cuts as you will get in Brazil(sans pork). This restaurant also doesnt serve alcohol. All the servers are Brazilian. After about 1 hour of non-stop Meat selection, we gave up and decided to have something(not included in the buffet, ala carte)sweet. My wife opted for Quindim while I had some cheese from the buffet.More
