We were in the area and we thought we'd try Luanda Restaurant. We didn't regret it! The staff were immediately super friendly and we chatted about Brazil, Angola and Cape Verde. We ordered a few traditional Angolan dishes. The portions were generous and the flavors were excellent. I got full, but took every morsel to enjoy at the hotel later. I would say it's one of my favorite African restaurants that I have visited in the U.S.

I was recently in Portugal and fell in love with the country and its beautiful culture, so finding a Portuguese market in New England was a great surprise. As soon as I walked in I felt transported to Portugal. The staff speaking Portuguese, the seafood, the oils, the sweets... it was almost like I was back in the Iberian peninsula. It was overwhelming, honestly, but in the best possible way. This place had it all! It had fresh produce, meats, fish (including cod!), sweets, and a separate section for coffee. I got some of their pasteis de nata and although they were not as good as the ones in Lisbon, they definitely fulfilled my cravings. I also got a latte which was phenomenal. The people working here were very sweet and welcoming. If you're in Lowell or passing by, I'd definitely stop by Valentina's Portuguese Market.

These might be the worst natas I've ever had--while they're edible and the filling is fine, they were stale enough that the crust was some combo of soggy and chewy.

For an appetizer we tried the Pastel de Bacalau (Cod Cakes, 10 for $10).

For entrees we chose Mariscos a Failense (Fish Stew, $19), Polvo Asado (Grilled Octopus, $19), Lulas Grelhada (Grilled Squid, $17) and Dourada (Grilled Sea Bream, $17). All of the entrees were cooked and presented PERFECTLY. Everyone enjoyed their main dishes very much. For dessert, we shared 2 Spumonis, cut in half for 4 ($8). It was a perfect repast in a family friendly setting. Total for 1 appetizer, 4 entrees, 2 desserts AND a bottle of wine was just $108.

A friend and I came in and put our names on the waitlist, waited for about 45 minutes at a bar down the street, and then had some of the most fulfilling tapas ever!

My friend and I came here on Father's Day expecting it to be packed, which it was, but there were…read morestill a few tables available, both inside and outside. At their front patio, they had the World Cup game playing, but the back patio felt cozier so we opted for that. The inside though was a strong second since the lighting is very low, creating a cool and calm environment. Walking through the restaurant to get to our table made me realize that each table is unique, no two are decorated the same or have the same furniture. It was a hot day but the overhead mesh cover blocked out a lot of the sun. Our waitress made us feel very welcome from the start and told us about their drink and food specials. My friend ordered Guatemalan beer as well as a Spanish beer. For food, we ordered the plantain fries, octopus, calamari, and shrimp salad, and grilled lamp chops. The seafood salad came out first. According to the menu, it was going to be paired with cornbread. It looked like sourdough bread but had a far denser consistency. I was expecting the salad to have lots of shrimp to act as a filler but surprisingly, it was about 60% octopus, 25% calamari, 10% shrimp, and 5% onions. The seafood was very flavorful, tasted fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was great for two. Next came the plantain fries, which I was least impressed with as it was essentially fried plantain chunks. I think it would have been better if they were cut into smaller pieces that can be easily dipped and consumed in one bite. The plantain was gently ripe, so just a little sweet and the dipping sauce was like a less sour sour cream. Lastly, the lamp chops came out and the presentation was wonderful. They were a bit skinnier and less tender than that I was expecting, but flavor wise they were good. We enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service here.
