One of the most stellar Brazilian joints I've ever been in. Just stepping into the place, it has an…read moreintimate setting and aura to it with the hanging lights that coincide with the dark colored walls, giving the inside a mix of dim and bright. I've only seen one waiter in the area but he does his job with precision and punctuality that it almost makes me worry that he could get overworked if the place was a lot busier but it was manageable during lunch break. I've ordered for lunch Fried Tilapia with beans and rice along with a chicken & beef Empanada and Guarana cola. The meal was thoroughly sublime. The empanadas were a mixture of crisp but also tender, the fish was divine, flaky, nowhere near as dry, the lime with it also adds to the flavor and the Rice & Beans are a staple compliment to the meal. Meal itself was affordable, came up to $25 along with a solid $5 tip because the experience was very pleasant. I recommend this place at the highest of orders.

Since I love Brazilian cuisine, I was happy to try this place out with a small group of friends…read more The space was cute, but quite cramped. There was a lively atmosphere inside. Of course we shared the cheese bread, which was served warm, satisfyingly cheesy with a nice sticky consistency. For my entree, I ordered the Steak which came with fries, rice and beans. Steak was not tender, as it was difficult to cut especially with the knife they had available. Fries were not crispy enough and very bland. I also got to try the Crispy Salmon and Cheesy mushroom rice. Crispy Salmon had a delightful crispness on the edges. The Salmon was also succulent and flaky. Cheesy mushroom rice was cooked perfectly, with plenty of irresistible melty cheese with mushroom and tasty seasoning. Service was decent. Prices were not bad. However, I would not return because the food was mediocre.

The place was decorated on the higher end of Caribbean tastes and drew in a diverse crowd. Will definitely be back. Chef was on point! Thanks guys!

I arrived shortly after they opened at noon and seemed to hit the middle of the lunch rush. There was only one server working, but he did a great job keeping up with the crowd. He was friendly, attentive, and surprisingly quick despite being the only one on the floor. I ordered the curry corn and the Pasta Rasta with salmon, and both were flavorful and satisfying. I was really looking forward to trying the rum cake for dessert, but unfortunately they were sold out by the time I asked. Overall, a solid meal with great service, and I'd definitely come back, especially to finally try that rum cake.

Galaxy Diner was a dandy restaurant we visited during our recent trip to NYC. The first thing you…read morenotice is the awesome decor around the restaurant including but not limited to the awesome space painting on the ceiling. Very very cool. Anyway once you look at the menu you see it's very expansive with both all day breakfast and dinner options. We started with an appetizer of wings for me and toasted ravioli. The wings were good and kind of unique with the sauce being kind of cook into the wings making it tasty. The raviolis were quite good as well. For my main course I tried the Bacon Ranch Chicken Burger which came with a huge crispy chicken cutlet, bacon, creamy ranch sauce, on a toasted kaiser roll and served with seasoned fries (lettuce actually comes on the sandwich too but I had it taken off). The chicken was EXCELLENT and the ranch and bacon really worked with it (I would've liked a little more ranch but I love heavy sauce on my sandwich most of the time.) The fries were excellent too. The service was very good and the prices were very reasonable. All in all an excellent lunch in the middle of Manhattan.
