    Went with my family a few times and If I didn't leave so far away I would came back more often. Food is incredible, place is clean.

    Decent value for money food. Service was polite and fast especially considering we came in just…read morebefore rush hour. Ambiance is simple but nice. No loud, obnoxious music and a very relaxed atmosphere. Excellent picanha steak. Sides were simple - rice, fries etc. Maybe add a salad in and it would beat the Keg's combo's. Keg is like $50 for a combo and a picanha steak meal here is $36 but without any appetizers. Will return!

    Smaller restaurant with split level design interior. High level ceilings. Quite noisy as it got…read morebusy hard to hear the person across from you. Washrooms were downstairs which would not be accessible if someone had mobility concerns. Upstairs table to chair height slight mis match low table. Street parking available and ttc accessible. Food the appetizer fried cheese ball squares with the spicy pineapple chutney was amazing. The fried chicken ball nothing special. Ordered the skewer meat and sausage with peppers came with beans and vinegarette and some cornmeal like carb rice and fries came way before the meat spit. Server also dropped out peppers and onion from the spit to the table and said he would replace it but never did. Also Had to ask the server what to do with it as with most of the meal had to ask how to eat it. The hot sauce on the table was good however not coming out of the bottle had to be switched. I asked the server for water for the table and was never given and my cup of water was not refilled and having to ask. Service was not so good though server was new said everything was good so I'm skeptical. The pork mash and veggies entre was good not out of this world but good. Filling yes worth the price debatable. Question remains would I come back? I could probably go to a Brazilian steakhouse to get more meat for dollar value. The only thing I would come back for is the fried cheese squares. To each their own.

    Sabor Carioca serves excellent Brazilian food, including classics such as feijoada (Brazil's…read morenational dish, which is only served on weekends). Its location is the former site of another Brazilian restaurant (Sabor Brasil). They kept much of the exterior signage, interior, and most of the menu items the same / very similar to the restaurant that previously occupied the space. We came here specifically to try the Moqueca De Peixe Com Camarão & Arroz E Pirão (grouper fish & shrimps stew with tomatoes, green peppers, onions, cilantro, and coconut milk), and it did not disappoint! The stew was so flavourful and they gave a lot of grouper fish and big shrimps in the pot. I really liked the tomatoes and cilantro in the stew. It came bubbling hot, with Brazilian fish gravy served in a smaller pot beside it. It was served with garlic-infused rice that was just as flavourful. Tip: Order farofa (toasted cassava flour) alongside any stew dish, then mix it with the stew. The textures complement each other very well. The Grilled Salmon was also really good. It was flavourful and I could see and taste the charred grill mark. It came served with rice (also infused with garlic) and choice of side. I chose a side of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrot, green beans) and they were excellent! In addition to the main dishes, we ordered a large House Salad (nice, simple, and refreshing), Brazilian Tomato Slaw (for extra veggies - also refreshing), and Farofa (a must-get every time I go to a Brazilian restaurant). Everything we tried was delicious x100. Food came out in a decent amount of time, and service was nice and friendly. The ambience was very casual with Portuguese music playing in the background. I definitely recommend this place if you want to try authentic Brazilian dishes in a casual setting!

    It was my mom's birthday and her one request was pastels. I wasn't sure I'd find an authentic spot,…read moresince I had never tried one myself, but luckily I came across Pastel Brazil through a quick Google search. The reviews on Google and IG were glowing, and now I see why. The place is clean, welcoming, and run by Rose and her husband, who are so kind and make you feel right at home. It's self-serve--you choose your filling, they weigh it, and then make it fresh on the spot. My mom and I each ordered two: one beef and one cheese. Both were absolutely delicious--perfectly light, crunchy, not oily, and full of flavor. They even fry up the extra dough edges so nothing goes to waste. Rose brought us sauces and a finely chopped salad to spoon onto our pastels (so tasty I could have eaten it on its own). She also surprised my mom with a sweet pastel for her birthday, which made the visit extra special. We paired everything with sugar cane juice, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which shows how much care they put into every detail. The food, service, and atmosphere were beyond anything I've experienced in a long time. My mom was transported back to Rio, and I got to connect more deeply with my culture. Thank you for being part of such a meaningful birthday celebration--what you're doing here is truly wonderful. Wishing you all the success!

It's a new addition to the neighbourhood and we were both happy to have them because the pastels were delicious. We were greeted with a warm, Brazilian welcome, guided through everything from the sizes, to the filling, to how the pricing works. We both got two pastels and they were delicious. Not greasy whatsoever. They even give you the left over fried dough. I know for next time go fill mine up a bit more because the filling was at the bottom and most of it was dough. But hey, for a first timer, I was more than satisfied. My mother was very happy with her meal and the cane juice she got to accompany her meal. She said she felt like she was in Brazil. Thanks for making her day special. I can't wait to go back!

Samba serves Brazilian street food which I never had before. I ordered the carne seca with the coalho added in. Carne seca is Brazilian-style beef jerky and cassava sauteed with onions. Coalho is maybe cheese? I also ordered the Coxinha which is "chicken balls" according to my Brazilian friend. For drink, I got the guarana soda. The carne seca is sort of like a big deep fried dough with stuffing inside. It was hot, salty and savory. The Coxinha had chicken in the middle surrounded with potato and also deep fried. I felt that it was a little dry but it was filling. My friends let me try the cassava fries which is bit different from regular fries. The cassava has a bit more texture.
