    Shish Chicken
    Anne H.

    The ambience is not fancy but the staff (family owned) were very friendly and the food was amazing. We decided against the buffet, which did look good, and ordered the combo appetizer which was very good with hummus, baba ghanooj, falafel, tabouli, grape leaves , fatoosh (one of our favs) 4 bean mint salad (also amazing), and tzatziki. While we were waiting for the app combo, we were served complimentary lentil soup which was also very good! For our main meals we got chicken shawarma and chicken shish both of which come on a bed of biryani. The chicken was flavorful and soooo tender! Large portions, fragrant, flavorful food, and the family who runs the place were really nice. We can't wait to go back again! Next time we'll leave room to try dessert!

    We were excited to find a middle eastern place that had a buffet on the weekend. If you like to try different dishes this place is for you. Inside there is plenty of seating and it is decorated nicely. It is seat yourself and go up with a plate. The staff were pleasant and checked in with us. Ok the food. There was a hot and cold buffet. Bread, soup, tea/water all available for you to enjoy. The dishes were all super flavorful and we couldn't find a complaint. The 2 we enjoyed most were the stuffed vegetables which has a rice filling and the vegetable kibbeh which is nicely stuffed with veggies. The hummus was super creamy and the baba ganoush was awesome. They had chicken, beef,lamb and fish dishes along with plenty of veggie options. I would definitely come back again.

    Chicken Shawarma

    Incredibly impressed by this restaurant! Wasn't sure what to expect when I came here but what stood out the most was the excellent service from the staff! I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and asked if it came with hummus. Since it did not, the staff gave us some to try for free! They also gave us a complimentary bowl of soup which was outstanding (we had lentil soup). The hummus is unbelievably good. The biryani is all must-order side dish. Definitely want to try the buffet next time I come here. Very fair prices for the generous portions they serve! Plenty of seating inside and very spacious. You seat yourself when you walk in. Casual ambiance and overall vibe. You can't find anything else like this in the area! Truly one of a kind!

The buffet needs to be changed and adjusted to reflect a more diverse selection of authentic Brazilian dishes. The main dining area needs to be outfitted with more of a Brazilian theme so it doesn't feel like you're sitting in a high school cafeteria, The identity of this restaurant must be a clear and present picture to the guest. The quality of the meat regarding temperature and seasoning was average. This restaurant has not been around for a very long time so I will give this one another chance down the road. Parking was average but the prices doesn't reflect the quality of food you would expect from a restaurant that claims that it's a Brazilian steakhouse. They have world class Brazilian restaurants in Worcester, MA.

    This is our second time here and it will be the last. I can look past the decor,or lack there of,…read morethe walls are plain. But this place just doesn't give any effort at all. You walk in and are greeted with only a table number and a point into the other room. Which is fine except once you get there you have no idea what to do next. The plates are around a corner along with the silverware and napkins. So you have to first find them. After that you go get the buffet food and then find the place with the meat. Finally when you stand there looking like you are lost with a plate of food they will call you to a register to pay $12.99 a lb or all you can eat for $26.99. We chose all you can eat because we love Brazilian and knew we would be back for some more of that delicious meat. It was ok at best. The bacon chicken and garlic steak were the standouts. Everything else was under seasoned or very dry. My husband kept saying how little effort they put in to everything. No salt and pepper on tables. No napkins nearby. No one comes and takes plates or checks on you. You are just left to figure it out yourself. There are plenty of better places that I would choose over this one.

For every family…read morecelebration, for every get together with larger groups of family friends, this was the default choice for us. Naturally, we kept coming back because the food has never disappointed us. Located in Marketplace Shrewsbury plaza, you will find no shortage of parking spots when arriving. Maybe I'm weird, but I also think it is very amusing that it shares the same plaza with Reliant Medical Group and just next to them is Hooters. Something-something there has to be some kind America and Freedom joke that can be made here. Upon entering, you will see a large corner pond and fountain filled with koi fish. Even to this day I still find myself getting a little lost listening to the running water and staring at the fish. Adjacent is the larger countertop bar area and the server whom will guide you to your seat. The service here is fine but I don't know what it is but I always feels like I am being rushed when I'm eating. The servers walk around too quickly and clean up your plate moments after you finish. Maybe it's weird to complain about lightning fast service. I think this is my first buffet review and I'm not sure how to go about this. I've eaten here countless times and I've never once had the opinion that any of the food felt old or spoiled. I grab basically one of everything and I always enjoy my overflowing plates of food. I am a fiend for the coconut shrimp and black bean sauce mussels. The crawfish are extremely flavorful and I always make sure to pack along a pair of gloves because I am a glutton. I think the only food item that disappoints me are the halved crabs. Almost every time I get them, it seems like the meat has no flavor at all. It kind of feels like a waste of food and $$ to serve them buffet style when they're so mediocre I really enjoy that they have two large sections dedicated to cold items like jello and cut fruits. It's perfect for me because I'm always the last person to continue eating the heavier stuff and I feel bad if I'm with a partner or friends and they can't eat another bite. There's always room for desserts! This place isn't perfect and there are other places I prefer when I'm in the mood to drive further and spend a little more... but this place is only $20.95 for dinner. That is an incredible deal for good food and it completely invalidates any complaints. 5 out 5 stars.
