For dinner at least there's a limited food selection from a mini hot table. There was no vegetable option. The half chicken set with rice & potatoes was $16. The chicken was pretty tasty & well cooked & moist except for the breast which was a bit dry. The rice was decent though a few grains were slightly dry. The potatoes were tastier than average but the texture of some was a bit mushy. The hot sauce was pretty spicy.

I called to see if I would catch their voicemail but was so happy they are open now. Placed an order for 2 quarter meals.

At a summary, we ordered the grilled whole chicken, with rice & potatoes as sides, as well as grilled quarter dinner. Normally, I'm not a big fan of grilled chicken, especially the white meat as most often it's dry, but the chicken here were not only tender, but vastly flavorful. Yes, the white meat was a tad on the dry side but combined with the sauce & the saffron rice you barely noticed. The sides were amazing too, and boy was I glad I got rice (despite my asian tendencies to ALWAYS MAKE RICE AT HOME) the rice was extremely flavorful and did a great job to enhance the chicken in tandem, without over powering anything. The potatoes were also still slightly crispy and amazingly fluffy on the inside. The definition of a local gem!

What frustrates me is that businesses will go out of there way to post inaccurate reviews, for the benefit of themselves. Last time I was here I did not get what I expected. The meat was incredibly dry and over cooked. The potatoes were undercooked and bland. The rice seemed dry. Do yourself a favour. Coming from a Portuguese background, do NOT come here if you are expecting something authentic or even just good.

Oddly enough, the two of us just so happen to be having a conversation about Portuguese chicken in the car and it was as if the Portuguese chicken gods placed this at our feet. We just could not resist and slide in. The restaurant itself was clean and modern, with some nods to Portugal and a television with the World Cup game on (if memory serves). The menu had some great offerings, which were cheap in price. I went for the 1/2 Chicken with potatoes and caesar salad for $13.50 and got a large peri-peri sauce for an additional $5.00 The serving sizes are HUGE, let me tell you that. The chicken itself is juicy, tender and delicious. I felt like the salad itself was kind of an afterthought, however, I could have had more potatoes and on second thought, I should have had potatoes on potatoes. But oh well, that's on me. The peri-peri sauce I got was medium but tasted more like a mild. I got a large size and it was literally served in a bowl. I would have liked a head's up from my server that it was that big, as I likely didn't need a size that big and would have ordered a small or medium. Overall, I loved the vibe and experience here. 10/10, would come back.

I was craving for the shrimp patties and the only good ones were usually downtown. I found Galina's Bbq via Yelp, so I knew I had to get some to try. I got the whole chicken dinner and I was AMAZED at the portions! For under $50, they legit packed the rice and potatoes to the top! Everything was super tasty but the shrimp patties could had been better if I reheated it in the oven. The chicken was super moist and the potatoes were so delicious. The rice was a bit too salty though. Service was great; the waitress told me her aunt opened this restaurant more than 10 years ago. The restaurant was clean and spacious, but definitely not super big. I would definitely come back for more!!

We arrived for a late lunch on a Sunday, the dining area was empty so we got to pick of tables. We ordered two appetizers, three entrees and a drink. The meal started out well, with some bread, butter and preserved olives. It was lovely to have something to nibble on while waiting. 30 min later, the appetizer of chirizo sausage arrived. It was set alight table side, and we enjoyed the crispy hot sausage. Unfortunately, it took another 30min for our entrees to arrive. My chicken dinner was not even warm, the veggies were overcooked and cold. The only thing hot on my plate was the potatoes, which were delicious. After such a long wait, it was disappointing to be served cold food. Also, our second appetizer never came and we had to remind the waiter not to bill us for it.
