One of the meat men had a right attitude when serving and you felt you were inconveniencing him getting served. Quite a while between meat options coming up.

For £21.50 it is all you can eat, really as much as you can handle so be sure to take sweat pants when you come here. The salads are lovely and fresh and the meat is bursting with flavour and prepared in front of you (almost). Very long skewers hold beef, chicken, lamb or pork and they are being cooked in a massive fireplace that has a very funny pork sculpture with an apple on its side. Vegetarians fear not, besides the saldad bar they also offer grilled vegetables skewers at a price of £12 for all you can eat. Very friendly staff, but for some reason I was not allowed to take a picture of their food, I guess you are just going to have to go and see for yourselves.

This was my second visit to Nabrasa in Tooting, the first being within moments of my discovery that…read morethere was halal rodizio in London. My first visit was better (they had sliced mango then), but the second visit was good enough to warrant a third in the near future. Brazilian rodizio is--hands down--my favourite food, taking me to the pinnacle of meat-eating nirvana. I have been to more churrascaria joints than I can count on all my fingers and toes, carving and gnawing my way across the US and South America in pursuit of the perfect Picanha. Did I find it at Nabrasa? No, if I am honest. It wasn't perfect, but it was quite good--and impossible to find elsewhere as a halal option. Before I get into my experience here, I want to clarify something for anyone with complaints about the salt content. Salt and garlic are virtually the only ingredients in true rodizio seasoning. Not just salt, but coarse ROCK salt, encrusted across the meat and only lightly undusted with the sweep of a hand before putting the meat over coals. It is also blanketed in fat to keep the meat from drying out. This is where the halal factor sort of precariously balances on its knife tip. Nabrasa does a very good job of attempting to circumvent dryness and proportion the sodium against meat that is very hard to find in halal form, let alone graded for rodizio (and without the traditional method of draping fatty pork over cuts to keep them succulent). For this, I applaud them. Here's my breakdown: The good: The chicken, sausage, and Picanha (ask for the fatty bits) are amazing. In general, the beef dishes are winners, and the rodizio pineapple is perfect. From the salad bar: the olives, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes are excellent. The not-so-good: The lamb is pretty heavy in the dry zone and sometimes it is evident that meat has been circulating and reheated multiple times. I stick with the beef and sausage, but my husband who doesn't eat either wasn't impressed with the lamb. Also, despite a heavy list of meats offered on the paper placemat, several weren't in circulation either time I visited. The bad: The removal of mango from the salad selection shouldn't have happened. There has to be a cool, fresh option to offset the sodium. If mango is too expensive for a buffet, at least put out some decent sliced oranges--anything. The mocktails are wildly overpriced. And lastly, have a Brazilian dipping sauce! Nabrasa is the first rodizio I have ever been to without a basic chimichuri sauce, which is, frankly, a staple and an absolute shame (tsk, tsk). As a halal venue I give Nabrassa 4 stars. In reality, if it was truly up against its non-halal counterparts, it would be in the 2.5 star range. But it is halal, so four stars it gets.

Headed here with Groupons, and whilst I've not have good experiences with Brazillian food in the…read morepast, I decided to try this place after heard good things about the Rodizio Grill. Places with supposedly endless supplies of meat carved at your table. However, based on my experience, I fail to understand how this business stays viable. We arrived at 1pm. There was only one other party, and they looked native brazillian. We were shuffled to a table in a very tightly packed area where getting out would be difficult. We asked if we could re-locate and reluctantly the guy serving us agreed. A major difficult is that the staff say very little and presume you understand exactly how this whole Rodizio Grill works. Where more people came in during lunchtime with their Groupons, the confusion on what to do was repeated, and the waiter absolutely looked like he was tired of actual businessa and having to interact with people. Whilst I try not to always judge a place on service, this person interacted with customers with borderline contempt. It's fair enough if you're stressed. But this is your job, and to ruin my perception of the business is not any fault of mine. Anyway, to make things worse, we arrived just after a powercut had taken out the electricity. It was quite sunny outside which made the interior look all that much darker. We were not told anything regarding this, just to start helping outselves to the salads and other buffet style food laid out in the back of the shop. It's incredibly difficult when you can't actually see anything! Not to mention it took about 30 minutes for any meat to start appearing... Onto the meats. Given the description of the voucher, I was under the impression that the meat would be cooked to order. However, meat comes around in cycles every 10-15 minutes and you don't get a choice! It's either Yes/No to that round. As non-beef eaters, there were then rounds we couldn't partake in. The one highlight of the experience is that the grill chef noted this and didn't offer us any more beef and went out his way to substitute beef rounds with either pork chicken or lamb. That said, the variety is not as wide as the groupon claims. Not once did chicken heart appear. And some meat was near on inedible. What we did get to try were lamb, pork sausage, pork shoulder, chicken thigh and pork belly. A lot of this was tough, chewy. However when meats came around again, they would sometimes be better or worse. Either way, it was disappointing. Not to mention we were asked a few times whether we had finished, the first time after only having had 2 meat servings. Almost felt like we were being rushed out. The salads/rice/beans were good, but were nothing special. We felt the meats were supposed to be the attraction, but were not good enough, whilst being filled with salad that were actually a lot better. The cocktail was good, but again, I thought we would get a choice. But all you get is Cachaça, which I can't complain about, since I love it. Also the dessert is just an Iceland style chocolate gateau. Disappointing to the max. My dad asked if were could have instead the blackforest gateau right next to it. We were strictly told no. I was surprised, as it wouldn't have cost them anything more, and bought them some goodwill. In all we didn't feel well treated during this lunch and would never go back again. The Groupon choice was restricted to items not clearly explained at the start, service was abrupt and contemptuous, food not near good enough to serve to paying public. I really wanted to have my mind changed about Brazillian food, but this only cemented my bad (personal) experiences with it. Other Groupon holders seemed to be going through a similar experience as eye contact said everything. How this company even managed to sign up to Groupon given the horrendous difficult making a telephone booking is beyond me.

Forget desert, they will never bring it, just don't bother. The salad bar is lovely, fresh and inviting. The meat is terrific and fish can be ordered in advance. This place is so busy you can't get a table at the weekend. This is partly due to how good the food is (did I mention this?) but also partly due to the fact that Whetstone on the whole is a gastronomical wasteland with mainly bad restaurants with a (very) few exeptions.

I visited on a Sunday afternoon with friends and initially there was some query about our booking; then a delay to get seated and then we were asked to move to another table - an inauspicious start. Having frequented Rodizio Rico I was familiar with the concept: help yourself to the salad/buffet bar and then the meat will start coming until you can eat no more. I must say, and I am no 'foodie', that the meat was superb; just the right flavour and to my liking and the selection varied. I was a bit disappointed with the limited choice of hot food at the buffet but the salad was nice enough. The service wasn't endearing or attentive but no major cock-ups. I had the profiterole caramel for dessert (yes, I made room) but that was nothing special and I must say, tasted highly processed. Seating area was cold and there were a couple of gas heaters going full blast. I still say that Rodizio Rico has the edge in terms of atmosphere and service (most of the time) but would certainly recommend this place. Wouldn't visit on the fly (unlikely to get a table) but definitely a place to visit for an occasion/celebration or large group of people. I'll give this place 4 stars: Around £80 for 3 including barbecue meats and salad buffet, three soft drinks and two desserts: perhaps not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive. There was a noticeable lack of atmosphere and service was somewhat lacking but generally a satisfying dining experience, well my stomach thought so!

We then had fried prawns without shells for a starter, which were delish. I can't put my finger on what the flavour was, but they were perfectly cooked and very tasty. My friend then had chicken with cheese, rice and beans for her main. Which was good, but nothing to write home about. I had beef ribs with rice and beans. The ribs could have been cooked a little lower/slower and I think they would have ended up more tender. Additionally they were quite salty... and I really like salt. All in all an enjoyable night out, but at almost an hour away from my house, nothing I would recommend or travel back for. If you are in the area not a bad alternative to you standard English fare at a pub.
