Nice food, lovely salad bar too, Enjoyed!

VERY GOOD TEN OF TEN VERY GOOD RESTAURANT MUST COME

Monday 5th may 2025, went for an early birthday celebration, the staff really amazing! Really friendly and also very kind, also one of them brought me a well done rim steak because I can’t have bloody red one, which i thought was really nice off them, excellent service! Amazing team! 2nd time going will definitely be going a lot more, because even the first time we had am amazing time! Also staff sang happy birthday to me but honestly amazing ❤️really happy once again

Awesome spot! All the meat is cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The salad bar has much more than you would expect and was all really tasty. The staff are all lovely. Well worth the money, we will definitely be returning!

Great food, steaks, lamb, chicken in abundance cooked to perfection. Cooked to individual tastes. Nothing too much trouble. Lovely staff. Well worth a visit.

This spot is a great local spot in barnsley with great customer service, Rio hosted us and made us laugh , Thanks to rio and all of favelas!

Favela is incredibly amazing! Every time I go, the food is always cooked to perfection just how we ask for it! Big up Rio!!

Absolutely Perfect. Great food and fantastic service. Could not find a fault. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thankyou

This place was definitely worth the visit. I had the fish option, my partner had the meat and our 3 year old just had the buffet (free for under 5s anyway). Good range of food, the fish plate( you just get the one plate, then you can choose from the buffet) was really good! And the meat comes round and you say if you want that one or not, my partner said it was some of the best meat he has had! We will be visiting again!!

Visit regularly for the lunch menu. Fantastic service and food is great. Always great with the children too.

Been here many times. Recommend it. All staff friendly, especially Wilkson!

Excellent. We have been here before and great stuff as always. 4th time round and doesn't disappoint.

Was there twice and it was a great experience. Very good food and drinks

Great food the meat is cooked perfectly to my liking everytime.

I came with my family, wonderful night, lots of variety of food, excellent meat, spectacular grill service, very attentive and helpful, I definitely recommend it, thank you very much to the waiters David, Manoel, André and the head chef, the famous Jaqueline.

Absolutely love this place service is fantastic atmosphere is always brilliant. On the 5th April we had the pleasure of meeting wilkson who came to wish me a happy birthday you and your staff where amazing and made a special day for me and my party. Thank you all that worked that day.

Very good food, beautiful staff very friendly.

Would give a 5 but most of the steaks aren't available at lunch time which is a shame but overall amazing!

Brilliant food, great service and atmosphere

Great food, great vibe and great service. A little expensive but worth it

Me and my partner visited last night, it was amazing, the salad bar was stocked up well, I made the mistake of filling up on cheeses and potato salad. We just about sat down and the meat came rolling on through, it was brilliant, the Lamb was the star for us both !!! My partner had it well done and she said it was by far the best lamb she had ever had with mint sauce too… Service wise the waiters going round with the meats were super friendly and made us feel at ease. I had a decent pile of meats at one point and they kept adding more to it with no hesitation. The lady who served us our drinks and showed us our table was super polite as well, really sorry I didn’t catch any of your names. But we will be visiting again for sure !!! Thank you.

Booked with a girlie group for birthday celebrations. Something fir everyone on the menu and the staff were all lovely

Really good service from wilkson, food is great

We were very well served by our waiter. He was attentions and patient as we were a group of women just having fun. Professionalism for all members of staff. Sebast in particular was great with our table

Sebast was an outstanding host who went above and beyond to ensure we were fully catered to, providing us with an abundance of delicious food and exceptional hospitality throughout our stay.

Meus amigos me indicaram fui conferir e realmente é Excelente lugar e maravilhoso atendimento Os garçons simpatico, comida que me lembrou muito meu Brasil...estão todos de parabéns

The staff were excellent. They could not have done more for us. I have eaten there many times. This was a catch up with a friend of mine who I have not seen for a couple of months. The food is always excellent and today proved it. There is an absolutely amazing choice of food at the help your selves bar, and then you get table service with Lamb. Steak and other meat. You could not ask for better service anywhere. I fully recommend this restaurant.

Lovely restaurant, amazing food and brilliant staff. Especially wilksom who was quick to keep the meat coming. One of mine and my fiancé’s favourite restaurant

Overall I liked it. According to the rules of the establishment, you must pay a certain amount and eat everything that is offered to you in unlimited quantities, excluding only alcoholic drinks. There are many varieties of meat, which are cut hot from a common piece right in front of you.

First time going had a good time food was lovely staff was nice

I love this place, the cold buffet is diverse and the churrasco is delicious . You have to try the CAIPIRINHA!

This is the best Restaurant I’ve been last few years, atmosphere is great, delicious food and amazing service. On top of that such friendly staff, I couldn’t recommend it enough, definitely 5️⃣⭐️

As a Brazilian, nearest decent Brazilian bbq place from Sheffield is this one in Barnsley and its brill. The whole staff is amazing and it's an excellent choice for the weekend

Great value for money. Excellent food and impeccable service by Wilkson. Highly recommended for an authentic Brazillian steakhouse experience.

Brilliant server today called Sebastian very happy and cheery guy

I had an amazing experience at Favela! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to Sebast, who provided exceptional service—he was kind, hospitable, and made sure everything was perfect. His attentiveness and friendly attitude really enhanced my dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Sebastian and Sergio looked after us like kings and queen . Amazing service , food and atmosphere . We will be back 100%

Food is incredible, and the service made it even better. Sebast was extremely friendly, and made sure the meat was cooked to everyone’s liking!

Amazing food and service. I will definitely go back again. Wilkson made sure we all felt at home. He came to our table regularly to ask if there was anything he could do to make our night more pleasant. All staff is amazing in general and the food amazing .

In my humble opinion, the best Brazilian restaurant in all of Yorkshire. Excellent food, impeccable service and great prices.

Great food, great salad bar, the meat was amazing and the service was great. Will definitely be going back here !

Check your receipt!! Last 2 visits I have been over charged. On both separate times I questioned the receipt in a matter of minutes to be told they had made an error! For some reason they wouldn’t refund to my card and had to give me cash!! Dodgy!

Fantastic place. Fresh and delicious food.

Best food around and very friendly staff, always great fun

The most wonderful food in Yorkshire! Delicious and tasty. The waiter WILKSON was fantastic, he is very kind and helpful! Certaintly we'll come back.

My family and I had a great meal at this great steakhouse and were very well served by Wilkson. Thank you.

Was a brilliant night, food was lovely and Wilkson was a fantastic server :) would definitely recommend and will be returning soon

wilkson was very helpful and the food was great I very much enjoyed the steak and the table service he was great help and asked us what we would recommend next definitely recommend

Excellent atendimento pelo garçom Wilkson!!!! So good , ótimas carnes! O buffet precisava ser melhor, faltou a bananinha frita

Good food, cooked well and a fantastic selection of meats. Very friendly staff, great service and a good experience all round

First time coming here, enjoyed it, staff were all friendly and ensured me and family were okay. Would definitely recommend coming here, brilliant service, the waiter Sebastian was lovely and was also brilliant.

Excellent service, amazing food, reasonable prices.

Brought pinnapple to the table specialy from brazil thank to Wilkson really good. Like all the team!! Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit a couple of weekends ago, so much so I've booked hubby and I in for lunch this week. :D Can't say fairer than that.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Authentic Brazilian food. Impeccable service. We were served by Wilkson, who prepared us a delicious picanha with garlic. He was super kind and attentive. Congratulations Wilkson 👏🏼👏🏼We will be back many times.

The best Brazilian restaurant I've been to in the UK, very comfortable space, the food is beyond words, it's just delicious. Not to mention the service provided by Wilkson who was super helpful and polite. 👏🏻

Robin is the best bar tender. Unreal

We had a lovely meal here! Sebastin was exceptionally attentive and made our experience even better. All the meats were delicious, the salad bar was one of the best i've seen including smoked salmon! Finishing off with grilled pineapple was a welcomed treat!

Terrible decision to go there for a meal all meat tough and chewy chicken pickled with salt definitely wouldn’t recommend

Absolutely AMAZING Fantastic food Service was none stop with different quality meat , Wilkson was great very funny and made it a lovely evening . Definitely going back and would recommend to anybody for a quality evening all round

Absolutely love this place! Food was amazing, had such a big selection on the buffet for 33 quid. all the staff are so friendly, and generous, especially Wilkson who really went over and above to be a great host. So happy to have discovered this Barnsley gem!

Amazing food and service everyone was very polite and Sebastian was a exceptional server definitely will be going back

Amazing amount of meat and a Hugh salad bar

Went today for the first time, food was lovely, lovely team especially a lady called Rita , she helped us with the menu. Loved the place will definitely recommend it xx

Great service from Sebast and Manoel and all the staff, such a friendly atmosphere

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

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.

We had lunch here today and while quiet the meat still came out regularly and the service was amazing l, the gent serving us honestly couldn’t do enough for us and everyone else in the restaurant. We will be back again.

We last visited here for a leaving do 10 months ago but the place has changed for the worse. We went as a party of 5 last Fri evening and the place was just half full. Prices have gone up but the food quality has gone down. Firstly, 2 of us choose the salad bar option and at £20 the choice was poor. There were lots of cheese, pickles and bread to choose but hardly any choice of hot dishes, 3 out of 6 were just potatoes and rice. The all you can eat meat option wasn't much better, as the portions of meat served were the smallest slivers and for £34 you expect more. If you're after a disappointing meal which is terrible value for money, then this is the place to go. The only plus point was the lovely lady on the till when we went to pay.

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

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

Loved it . Service was amazing as soon as we stepped through the door. The food was delicious,every cut of meat was cooked to perfection.

The food is amazing! Jak thanks you for welcoming us so well

Perfect food from the restaurant and outstanding customer service from Emmanuel.

Impeccable service, professional staff and fantastic atmosphere. Delicious food!!! I recommend it without a doubt

Excellent all you can eat steak, pork and chicken Service is brilliant Definitely recommend the lunch time service for the best value

Atmosphere inside Favela was good. The only bad thing was the music from next door that we could hear inside.

Amazing service and food if you like a lot of meat.

Beautiful as always my favourite place 💯👌👍

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

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 👌

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

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.

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

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

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.
