    Amazing food. Tasted super high quality and came quickly. We were in and out super quick. Highly recommend the lamb tiki masala and the chicken curry. But the star of the show? The mango lassi. Oh my. The mango lassi. Wow. Also to note is the beautiful ambiance and lighting. The sky light is a great touch and I love the greenery mixed with the luxurious tables.

    Terrible service and food. Pushy waitress keeps trying to get you to order more. When I asked for the bill, they instead brought a QR code with a link to review them and stood watching for me to review them. Had to ask three times to pay before they finally allowed me to. Looking at other reviews, this is their common tactic and why they have so many reviews. Shady restaurant tried to get my review taken down by complaining I'm a "competitor".

    I was so happy to have Indian food, since I have been craving it for months now. I was super nervous because my husband is super picky and even he was a fan. The area seems a bit sketchy, but honestly once inside it's super nice. The staff was super welcoming and accommodating. They food was outta this world good! I would come back here over and over again if I'm in the area. Loved everything about it.

    We found this place really excellent food wise. So much so we went three nights in a row; twice for sit down Indian (about €45 a night for two including a quarter bottle of rosé wine and a pint of Heineken beer) and in once for a take - out chicken tandoori pizza at €12. The pizza was delicious too. I had the same Indian sit - in meal both times: matar paneer with Peshwari nan in a mega tasty sauce. The food was glorious. The paneer had chunks of cheese, slivers of fresh ginger, medium spiced, also green peas. The nans were the best we've had in years with generous sweet almond paste filling, small cashews, pistachio nuts and sultanas. Even writing about it I want another nan. My wife and I shared the nan and a perfectly boiled basmati rice - neither nan nor rice came included with the main. She had chicken tikka masala night one declaring it great. Night two she had lamb seekh kebab main with a tiny cold mint sauce. Again mega tasty, great quality, lamb mince mildly spiced, juicy and a good portion. It came on a smoking platter with lots of still cooking onions. The service was ace, the restaurant cosy despite being huge and the servers friendly. I assume they cooked the nan and the tandoori meats in the pizza oven. I noted as I left the oven was set at 275c. Serious heat. One thing I didn't like was what flowed when I checked in on Yelp as an offer popped up for a free shot for each main. They first tried to say it wasn't for their restaurant when it was and then despite a series of whispers among staff and the presumed owner not another word was said. No shot offered. It hadn't happened. I'm sure it wouldn't have broken the bank and it caused a bad taste. Had they offered a shot we likely would have declined but they should have honoured the deal. Left a bit of a bad taste. Still keeping it 5 star but yelpers beware if an offer appears.

I really loved the soft and crunchy texture of the onigiri with a juicy marinated watermelon center. For entree, we got the couscous with Okra dish. If you don't like Okra this dish is not for you. But, it was light and flavorful (slightly sour). For dessert, we got a sampler since we could not decide. Clearly, my favorite was the chocolate lava cake but they were all so tasty! My partner got some green vine and I got green tea. You get a whole pot of tea - great value!! Service & Ambiance: 5/5 The decor was so cozy inside and the staff were amazing! I know little to know Portuguese but, they were super nice! All in all, I would definitely go back and all for ~51€!

I wasn't feeling super hungry so I opted to do a takeout box (€8) of their buffet food. The selection here was fantastic - many lentil/soy based protein options, a salad bar, rice and bread - really the perfect plant based meal where everything was tasty. My average rating really comes from my experience doing takeout. Maybe it's my American mentality, but when they handed me the takeout tray, I made sure to fill it up with as much food as possible (while not overloading). When I went to pay, the owner(?) scolded me and said it was now impossible to close and that I did not do this properly. I apologized and shared my embarrassment with them, but honestly - it was NOT that bad. I wasn't happy that they made a scene where everyone started staring as I continuously apologized and felt stern judgement. Finally, another staff member took over and closed the box for me and I paid and left. After sharing the photos with friends, nearly everyone concluded that it was not overfilled and definitely me just making the most of my limited space. Besides that experience, I still really appreciate them being available and would come back to do the actual sit down buffet so I can avoid this awkwardness again.

Terra is a buffet style vegetarian place and it was really good! There was a lot of awesome dishes and the staff is super friendly, I really enjoyed chatting with them. There's a cute outdoor seating area with large trees that cover the patio. There's also definitely an almost Indian/eastern influence to some of their dishes, which was great because I love those types of flavors. Some of the dishes they had were couscous, some type of curry dish, and vegetarian pizza. If you're vegetarian, this is a great option! They also have really good desserts as well.

One of my biggest concerns about the trip was finding decent restaurants with vegetarian options and this was such a great option. We reserved on trip advisor for 7:30 and were seated promptly. The buffet was replenished (several times just because of us, so sorry to the other diners) frequently and the food was fresh, diverse, and delicious. As others have mentioned it felt a little pricey as compared to other places in Lisbon and the buffet feels a bit random (no specific theme to the food) but they were so accommodating and everyone in our group was satisfied. The desserts were also appreciated - I especially loved the tiramisu!

    One of the most interesting meals I have had the pleasure of having in Lisboa (or maybe anywhere in…read morethe world). When you find Estrela Da Bica, it is on a side street right off of the steep street with the trolley that is famous. There was a small open door with a sign asking us to wait outside to be seated (so as not to crowd the restaurant). Make sure to follow these instructions, as my family and I watched some other unaware tourists walk straight in, grab a menu, and promptly get asked to go wait outside. After a minute or two, we were seated by one of the staff (possibly the owner?). The staff was all women, and they seemed very proud of their restaurant. The decor was quirky and very homey, with various mismatched tables and chairs. We were informed that the food is all meant to be shareable plates, and we started off by just getting some sourdough bread with dips. There were multiple different kinds of bread and the dips kept them interesting, one being a fish spread. One of the appetizers caught my eye instantly, the roasted pork belly, banana mash, and pico de gallo. I usually like banana flavors mixed with savory (I've tried weird combinations like a peanut butter banana hamburger before) so I knew I had to try this. The outside of the pork belly was perfectly crunchy while the inside was tender. As I expected (but I would guess most people wouldn't), the banana mash complimented the rich savory flavors of the pork belly. For the mains, we ordered the pink marlin tataki with pineapple chutney, potato and rosemary sourdough pizzeta, roasted Hokkaido with butternut mash, dried nuts sand, and house kimchi, the confit codfish cheeks with poached egg and crispy chips, and the pork cheek ravioli with mustard sauce and buckwheat popcorn. They were all intriguing flavor combinations that I would never have thought of in my life!! What stood out to me was the confit codfish cheeks with poached egg and the crispy potato chips. We had tried other codfish dishes around Lisboa and had noticed that it was the most common fish there. But this combination was luscious, with the soft egg coating the fish and the chips adding a nice crunch to every bite. It was like a fish carbonara in a way with the poached egg providing a sauce. This was the standout dish to me, representing what Lisboa is all about while not being afraid to take risks. All of the other dishes were interesting too, and each left me with new ideas of combinations that I would have never thought of. After the dinner was so impressive, we were enticed by the dessert. We got the chocolate mousse and basque cheesecake with guava jam. These were Like I said, the staff seemed proud of their establishment and rightfully so. Estrella da Bica may be a small, simple, establishment, but they are not afraid to push the boundaries of gastronomy. This was the kind of restaurant that flies under the radar, but I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon it.

The atmosphere and food were so good that it didn't even matter. Our waiter was fabulous. This is a place you need to try.
