Favela Brazilian Grill Barnsley in Barnsley

First time I’ve visited. Great food, brilliant atmosphere and great service, thanks to Davi for looking after us so well

Great food as always! Sebastiao was a great server! The meat was amazing and the salad bar is alway top notch, we will be back again soon.

We went on a Thursday so it was pretty quiet but there was still plenty of choice. The chefs made a point of regularly checking if there were extra things we’d like to have cooked, even after it was clear that we were being a bit greedy and taking more than we could eat. All the food was delicious.

Absolutely amazing place. Great food and excellent service. Manoel was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended

Great service from Wilkson very kind man! brought us everything we asked for! we had an amazing time and gorgeous food 5 stars 🤩💖

Food outstanding, staff friendly, there was someone's birthday, and they came out clapping and singing

Went there with my wife after looking for a place to eat meat. Some other restaurants at Gateway Plaza weren’t serving food anymore, on a Wednesday at 8 pm! That led us to Favela, and I didn’t regret it one bit! Good price for a classic Brazilian rodizio, where you can eat as much as you want! Rita and Wilkinson provided excellent service. We’ll definitely be coming back soon

The food is soooo good, the only problem is you can't stop eating and can hardly move when you leave the place. Price is very reasonable too, friendly staff. Perfect place for a family meal. 5☆☆☆☆☆ would definitely recommend 👌

Cannot ever explain fully how much we love this restaurant ❤️ perfect service at all times, excellent verity of both cold and hot food and the drinks menu is very inclusive to those who both can and cannot drink alcohol. We have enjoyed every time we have been here, regularly recommend to friends and family, and will continue to choose this restaurant for as long as it stays open!

Excellent food and the staff couldn't do enough for us. We thought it was excellent.

When you travel for nearly 20 miles to get to a restaurant, you KNOW it’s got to be worth it. And Favelas hits every time. The meats are perfectly cut, seasoned and served. The salad bar ain’t just lettuce leafs and tomatoes, it’s a beautiful palette of authentic Brazilian foods. We’ve had many special occasions and gatherings here and Rita and the team NEVER disappoint. See you guys again soon 😋

Perfect service from Davidson and Sergio. Food with real Brazilian taste. I liked it a lot. Ameeiiii.

Been to favela Brazilian grill a few times now and every time I get no disappointment. Really good, great quality meat on every slice of their delicious bbq. Really enjoyed today, we were in a group of over 40 people and everything was well organised to make us all comfortable. Thank you!

It was great tunner mayonnaise with salad and a scone cream - staff was really exspaly friendly great team work good. Go again

Lots of choices at a great price, staff are so friendly! Would recommend.

Great place to come to eat, amazing selection of cold buffet and top quality meats cooked to your liking. My only issue was that the meat was really salty, and some of the hot items on the buffet were actually cold, it seemed the heaters were not keeping them warm. Great staff and really friendly atmosphere though.

I went for my partners birthday and it was our first time going. It was a really great experience and we will definitely go again!! They even sung him happy birthday and got him a brownie with a candle which he loved. Customer service was amazing and the severs were lovely too!! The salad bar also had lots of options and the drinks weren’t badly priced either. Would definitely recommend 😊

Fabulous food! Very fast service, amazing meat and excellent selection at the buffet. The minted lamb was particularly lovely.

4th time here and the food and the service has been second to non Emanuel of I got his name right was an excellent server very polite and smiling, as was all the other servers the cheesecake desert was my highlight of my evening

Great restaurant, lots of choice on salad bar and lovely to have a ‘well done’ card for the hubby who doesn’t like pink steak. Not seen that anywhere before. Manuel was great bringing well done meats to us regularly. Overall lovely meal with friendly attentive staff

From start to finish our experience was amazing! It was my daughter's 9th Birthday and you made her feel super special. We had a friendly greeting and were shown to our table by the host/bar manager. The selection of salad and sides was vast and the meats were plentiful and very tasty. Special mention to the chap serving the food Manuel (sorry if misspelt) he was super attentive and open to us suggesting what meats we would prefer. It was a Wednesday evening at the end of the school holidays so quiet but that can't be helped. The only criticism compared with when we have been before was that the selection of meats was maybe slightly smaller due to it being quiet, but when we requested certain things Manuel was happy to oblige xxxx Definitely be back soon, it's one of our favourite places!

A wonderful time with the family. The food was exquisite. My 3 year old son also enjoyed the cheese. We all had a great time. Also, Manuel who served us was very nice.

Quite a nice place. They do though keep coming to you and not let you have enough time. They want to stuff you fast and not really try everything. But it was very clean and tidy but the toilets were far from the tables and upstairs.

Amazing all you can eat. Meat cooked to perfection. some of the best food ever!

A great place to eat all the meat! Went at lunchtime which was unfortunately quiet. The buffet is great with tons of options, the meat is always tasty and comes to the table regularly.

Amazing lunch for fathers day and the dad got a free pint of lager. Although it was busy plenty of meat was brought around

This was our first time at the restaurant and won't be our last! The staff were very attentive and couldn't be more helpful, the food was amazing and cooked to perfection, there was such a wide variety & choice, the drinks were spot on too, we were stuffed to bursting when we left. I was very impressed with the fact that we got 2 bills - one with the service charge on and 1 without giving us the option to decide for ourselves should we wish to pay it, rather than having it forced upon us. Because of this and the excellent service we received, we paid the one with service charge on! Well done guys, keep up the good work.

Loved it fab range of meats and amazing buffet

FABULOUS FAVELA! What a hidden gem to have found in Barnsley. Set cost for meat or fish option but thoroughly worth every penny. Food was plentiful, fresh, beautifully prepared and the meat and fish delicious. Staff were friendly, engaging and gave exceptional service. Thanks in particular to Henry. Need to expand (come to Cornwall please). THANKYOU

Great selection for meat eaters, used to do halloumi which was great for vegetarians but seems to have stopped now.. Pasta dishes available on request which are all vegetarian. The staff are all very friendly and happy to accommodate differences in how you like your meat cooking. Salad bar has loads of variety

Great and authentic food ! My Best Brazilian restaurant experience in the UK.

Wonderful dining experience, the waiting staff seem a little rushed, but having said that, they do a lot of walking.

We were a family of 4 and really enjoyed our dinner. The quality of meat is fantastic, the salad and side bar is rich and the service very attentive. Highly recommend.

Really tasty food, little slow on the drinks but it was busy. Good value for money

Excellent. We have been here before and great stuff as always.

Really nice as usual, age gap between us was, 65 to 9 years old, would recommend always, haven't heard a bad review from anyone, says it all...

Absolutely brilliant food, staff and service could not be faulted we will definitely be back!!!

Visited this little Gem with my other half for afternoon date, honestly it was flawless, lovely and attentive service by staff, tasty food and nice atmosphere and lunchtime menu is reasonably price. We'll done to staff team at Favela. Highly recommended and will visit again

Incredible pleased with my visit to the restaurant, the staff are absolutely fantastic with people making the dinner experience even more special! I cannot recommend it enough as it’s a fair price for a high quality food experience. Service is absolutely amazing with very friendly people around you all the time well done to the Favela’s team!

good food but got shot three times in the leg but otherwise everything was fine

Best service ever. Sergio was the best waiter and it was my mums birthday. The chef and staff came to sing happy birthday to her! We gave Sergio 10£ and he even shared it with his colleagues!

Outstanding range of salads, stunning meats and gorgeous interior. Fantastic value for food, quality & service. Massive thanks to the wonderful team for being so accommodating. And Sergio for serving us- they’ve all been absolutely fabulous. Couldn’t recommend enough!

It's always good to be here, I love this place. I'm always well looked after by Chef Jaqueline and attendant Rita. Thank you girls

Always amazing, best Brazilian grill in Barnsley, we're regulars and it's always worth the price, foods always delicious and the staff are always helpful and friendly.

Wanted well done meat. Everything was rare with blood in. Asked again for well done and was completely ignored. Never came back to our table. Rude staff. Was charged for the vegetarian option which we didn't have either. Only a small amount of salad. Almost £50!! Would never go again or recommend!

I rarely feel comfortable taking my daughter anywhere alone she is SEN and the looks we get make her worse. Not only do the staff here go out of their way to help both me and my daughter, they also cater to genuine allergies. This means that my mum can join us and this helps my daughter feel more relaxed. Their disabled toilet being actually restricted to those who are disabled helps me to avoid accidents too, overall I think the staff are amazing and those with disabilities (SEN or physical) can feel comfortable here and those with potentially fatal allergies like my mum can safely eat here without risk

The food is delicious. The salad bar on its own is worth a visit. The meats are delicious and are cooked to perfection. The staff are attentive, friendly and professional. We hope to see you all again soon. Regards

I went to favela yesterday 16.3.2024 and customer service was awful, as soon as I got on the table even tho I didn’t had no food in my plate one of the kitchen guys that serves meat tried to offer me some and I said I wasn’t ready yet the guy got upset because I told him that’s and never came with meat to my table again , bear in mind I’m a regular customer spent over 500 pounds doing my nice birthday there and always taking big groups for lunch and dinner , what got me was that I got there at 15.50 and evening meals start at 16.00 so I asked one of the employees to serve me picanha with garlic and they told me I couldn’t have it because they put me on lunch section because I got there at 15.15 when it was a lie I got there for evening meal and then they had to call the owner to ask if they could switch witch they said I couldn’t , after all that I just couldn’t stay there any more second awful kitchen staff treated me like a dog and kept laughing in kitchen while staring at me !!! I did let them know that I wasn’t happy and then two kitchen staff members should be fired!

We absolutely loved our first visit to the favela. The staff are so lovely and friendly. The food is absolutely delicious 😋 I'd highly recommend you give this restaurant a try.

Decent selection of sides on top of meat cuts

Lunchtime menu. Meat perfectly cooked. Good range of salads etc. Stuffed!

The food was amazing and the staff were so polite and accomodating

An excellent experience from food to atmosphere to service. The meat was cooked to perfection and offered exactly as you prefer from rare to well done. Highly recommend the Guarana soft drink. Special thanks to Reta and Manuel for being so lovely !

We had our first visit to Favela and it did not disappoint! The food was really good - most of the meat was cooked brilliantly. The staff came round regularly with the meat and the service was great, even though it was a very busy Saturday night. I will definitely be returning!

I’ve sampled many steak to table type eateries and these and fazenda Leeds are top shelf 😈🥩🐑

After an unexpected change of plans, my family and I found ourselves at Favela, a Brazilian restaurant where a variety of meats are brought to your table as long as your marker is set to green, offered a continuous culinary delight. As someone who has enjoyed this style of dining before, I was particularly impressed by the quality of the cooking at Favela. The beef, especially the rump and picanha cuts, were standout dishes for me, cooked to perfection with flavors that truly stood out. The authenticity of the experience was heightened by the staff, who appeared genuinely Brazilian, adding an air of authenticity to the meal and clearly took pride in the cuisine they presented. The chicken thighs were another highlight, perfectly textured and flavored. The sirloin and lamb followed suit in excellence, leaving no room for disappointment. While the salad bar was satisfactory, it was the meat that truly captured my attention, with its rich flavors and tender textures dominating the meal. A pleasant surprise towards the end was the cinnamon and sugar-coated pineapple slices, a delightful sweet treat that perfectly rounded off the meal. Although the staff were noticeably busy, their friendliness and efficiency did not waver, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Favela provided an exceptional dining experience that was both unexpected and thoroughly enjoyed. The combination of exquisite meats, authentic atmosphere, and friendly service has ensured that we will certainly be returning in the future. Picture to follow.

Celebrated our 32nd anyversary there for the afternoon menu and the food and service was amazing. The venue too made us feel like we were on holiday. Defo go again and recommend this place x

Birthday Treat! Nice place , good food served nice & hot. Good salad table, garlic mushrooms were beautiful very tasty.

Enjoyed our meal manager was nice

Excellent customer service with as always great menu choice on a buffet set up. Kids welcome.

From a vegetarian perspective I would say the food is pretty average, my husband got the seafood platter and it was not very generous for the price tag of £25. They did have vegetarian pasta options and the salad bar had quite a lot of choice, but I wouldn’t come here again. If you’re a meat eater I think it’s worth it, we came as part of a meat eater’s birthday meal and he definitely got his moneys worth. The service was slow for drinks and they forgot our order twice in the space of 2 hours.

The best steakhouse in the UK! The service is very good and the meat and buffet are wonderful!

We have been twice and both time one of the party as ask for fish and we were told not on the menu, so what is a meat eater supposed to eat

Como sempre, comida maravilhosa e atendimento sensacional, especialmente pela Rita, que foi uma querida com a gente.

Comida maravilhosa, gostinho do brasil.

Great food & service; I thought the steak was DELICIOUS & very filling. I haven't eaten anything since going here for lunch:-) I love the decor, music & food selection - I liked when they carved the delicious steak at your table! My companion could finish his feast so I finished it for him! Our advice is to not eat anything before coming as you will be eating for England:-)

Extremely good food, and extremely friendly and professional service. The Meat was the best i have ever tried. Special thanks to Rita, thiago, itamar and the chef.

Outstanding experience. Rita, our host, made us fejl very welcome. Super service. Everyboddy was smiling and very proud. Great, juicy and very tastefull meat. A must try, when you are in Barnsley.

A very insensitive staff with a bad behavior, I booked a table for a birthday and they didn't say that there was a time limit after orders of £800, they told us that other people were waiting to eat. I found hair in the elevator and traces of lipstick on the glasses, greasy cutlery. The invoice was higher than the order, when they realized that I saw it, I immediately changed the payment amount. For us, it was the last time we opened the door of this restaurant. Be careful not to suffer like us and to spoil the unique days of your life.

I never can find words to describe the service and food at favela. Sergio in the bar always make us to feel very special. Cant wait to be back.

Food was absolutely amazing. I’ve been to a few different restaurants that serve the all you can eat Brazilian meat but this place is by far the best. Angie was an excellent server, attentive, friendly and service with a smile. The salad bar had so many options compared to other people who serve this cuisine and every meat we tried was so tender and full of flavour. And we only had the lunch menu! Can’t wait to try the rest. Keep it up Favela Team!

far yoo salty and meat far more fatty than normal staff didnt care even laughed when we mentioned too salty

Absolutely amazing food, cut at the table for you, beautiful side dishes and fresh salad. Lovely drinks and wait staff we’re so polite and barely any wait time for meats 10/10 would recommend to anyone 🤩

From the start to the end i couldn’t absolutely ask anything else from the staff The staff were absolutely amazing Ill always come back for more even living far away

Literally the best place for food in Barnsley

Great service , meat amazing and salad bar unreal First time at this place and will certainly be going again Such a unique dining experience

The selection of food and drink was good but found the belly pork had a funny taste and the garlic bread was soggy and undercooked. Also they added £17 service charge and I didn't notice until we left and I put a tip in I would never give a £27 tip! I will double check in future.

This must be our 20th visit here. We do not go anywhere else. The meat is faultless every single time, cooked perfectly to your liking. The buffet provided if filled with amazing bites, some traditional Brazilian food, I try something new every time I go. Drinks are reasonable prices. What makes this place extra special is the staff. No matter what day or time you go, all of them are amazing. In fact I’ll go as far as to say, it’s like a family to us. It really is like going to your families for tea. Everyone is welcoming, the guy behind the bar makes theee best cocktails, and all the other staff are brilliant at what they do. Both myself and my son are autistic and have adhd, and we feel safe and looked after when we come here. Thanks for everything guys!! See you all soon we hope

I came with my family for my birthday. Rita was absolutely lovely and is an absolute credit to the company. She was very accommodating and always made sure we were enjoying our time. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and the food is so good I’ve never felt so full in my life!! 🤩

Absolutely lovely staff and food. There was so much to choose from all the meats were superb and cooked beautifully. I was so full at the end it is definitely bang for your buck. Also our server Rita was brilliant, so so nice.

Wow wow wow !! Absolutely amazing service and the food was incredible. The amount of food you get. Safe to say we came away stuffed. We were served by Rita, such a lovely woman, really made the experience rememberable. 100% would recomend!!!

Restaurante maravilhoso, comida deliciosa e um ótimo atendimento da funcionária Rita...super indico👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Brilliant. I'm sat in the restaurant as I write this and I'm happy, very full and well impressed. Hard working and very friendly staff are always keen to serve and sort out requests. The meats are spot on, not as salty as other Brazilian meat places. It's really clean, reasonably priced and probably the best one of these restaurants I've visited. I'll return soon, for sure.

Great concept for a dining experience. I would recommend it to anyone!

A wonderful culinary experience 😍

Lugar maravilhoso. O staff é muito bacana e muito atencioso. Recomendo.

Been several times and you get your money's worth in terms of food, quality and service. The salad bar is massive and varied, I highly recommend the mushroom stroganoff. The meat is cooked to perfection and you can request specific colours, from very rare to well done if that's your preference. Definitely visit if you're in the area.

Just thoroughly enjoyable, end of. Thanks for the warm hospitality.

Great service, delicious food and a very pleasant atmosphere

Amazing place, however, you can only be there for 1h40min. Therefore, you need to eat quick.

I'm vegetarian, went for a Xmas meal with 35 meat eating colleagues. Favela looked after me very well, with a delicious mushroom pasta to go with their great salad bar.

Had a wonderful first experience here today. We only initially popped in for a drink, to decompress from an extremely poor service at a different establishment. Angee & the gentleman serving on the bar greated us warmly, efficiently & welcoming. Felt at ease instantly and decided to stay and eat. Everyone was so amenable, happy, clean, welcoming and the service was great. Service with a smile. The choice of the salad bar was extensive, something for everyone and beautifully fresh. Then the meat table service. Wow. Thank you everybody at Favela, definitely recommend & look forward to a return visit x

All you can eat meat, what more can you want?

First visit. Didn't know this place existed. Went for birthday celebs for 12 yo grandson and hubby. We had great choice of salads, biggest I've ever seen, then the diff meats are served at the table by cheerful servers. Biggest surprise was the servers coming out with ice cream with candles in it and singing happy birthday, quite raucous. Made me jump lol. We had received some bad news prior so wasn't sure about going but glad I got out the house

I love this place the food is tremendous but I always eat too much and can't stomach food the next day. Sign of a good meal lol

Very very nice Brasilian food!! Exquisite and delicious!!

Excellent. Great food, great atmosphere, really nice staff. Genuine experience!

Melhor churrascaria que já frequentei em UK sem dúvidas ! Equipe sempre muito educada e atendimento excelente. Sem falar do tempero da comida que é sensacional!
