I recently visited DeNara Acarajé Acaraje restaurant and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I tried the traditional acaraje and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had. The staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was also very charming and authentic, giving me a real taste of Brazilian culture. I would highly recommend Acaraje restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

Gratuity shouldn’t be included, automatic 18 percent! Food was decent at best me and girlfriend got two rodizios and shared one water bottle and the bill was 120. The waiter was slow then when I asked for the bill. I just sat there and waited several minutes then he came back and decided to clean the table and then I waited some more time then he came back with the bill. The waiter saw me holding my credit card and put an extra charge for using a card and automatic 18 percent tip that was not deserved. I didn’t have the energy or time to explain this was bullsh!t I’m just not going back. We didn’t even drink alcohol very expensive bill with sneaky charges and a water bottle is 4 dollars so if you go with a big group and you guys all want water be prepared to pay 4 bucks a pop then taxed on it and juice up the automatic tip. Go to Fernandez better food and service.

My Family and i went there today on june 18/21 , everything started fine ,the girl who served us was good ,then after about an hour , we started noticing that they wasn't care much about us , everything we needed we had to wave to someone, my drink getting hot cuz of cup ,my wife needed straw and didn't get anyone, my daughter waiting for her deserts and we kept waiting for good long minutes and the place was pretty much slow maybe 2 or 3 tables occupied, totally disappointed first and last time there ,i would give zero star if i could but I'll have to give something, also food so so , meat without salt , barely cooked, for the side salad nothing to use like salt or Oliver oil , we're very very disappointed BAD PLACE I DON'T RECOMMEND .

We went here after my nephew winning a high-level UFC fight. The menu was already set, or maybe this is all they serve. After a few minutes, servers started coming by with meat on skewers, obviously roasted. They would cut a slice for your plate, then return in a few minutes with a different meat to shave you another slice. I quit counting after 12 meats. More than I could eat! So the entire meal was meat, other than the salad we served ourselves from the salad bar. Funny, we tried asking the servers what type of meat each was bringing, but each was very hesitant with English. They knew what it was in Portuguese, though. lol

Great food and service . One of the best in town. Shrimp and garlic is amazing. Probably the best we've had and we order it everywhere possible.
