Review Favela - Astoria

I enjoyed eating here. The atmosphere both indoors and outdoors was pretty good. Seems that the team works in tandem and we were helped by multiple servers and the bartender was super nice. There was also live music too. And I was treated fairly. Don’t believe the post that mentioned being treated differently because of skin color. I’ve never gotten that sort of treatment here. I’m dark chocolate so I would know or sensed it. They’re pretty good people and the folks complaining about automatic gratuity usually have no desire to tip at all.

We love this restaurant. Food and service are great. Very authentic Brazilian food with real homemade seasoning. Calm and inviting atmosphere with a rustic NYC style. Very clean!!!

Stopped by here based on the pictures and instagram. Amazing Brazilian steak! Was blown away by the food. Don't go to Astoria very often. So we decided to drop by for lunch. The mega beef rib was insanely tender. Melt in your mouth. Meaty. Beefy. The picanha was equally delicious. I had on medium rare. Tender and juicy. It went really well with the salsa. We also rice and beans as sides. I recommend the red beans. Amazing portions. Could probably feed a family of 4. Definitely enough for 3 adults. The service was okay. I guess we were a bit early. Felt a bit rushed near the end. I was trying to finish my rice but waiter was already collecting the dishes. It was empty at the time. No sure why the rush. But the food was definitely worth it.

Cozy spot and super friendly staff. It’s like a family outside of your family. Food is super delicious. Lots of flavor and great options. Also get yourself a caipirinha. Delicious and gets the job done.

Celebrated my sister's graduation here! The staff were so nice and very accommodating. You guys are the best. The outdoor seating was beautiful! The food and drinks were amazing!!! Thank you for making my sister's graduation memorable! ❤️

They have a lot of Good Brazilian food options and the portions are big, can easily be shared by two. Not vegetarian/vegan friendly (except for the appetizers). The banana cake is one of the best desserts. The manjar de coco (coconut pudding) is also very tasteful. Nothing much on the drinks menu though.

Wow what a great spot! I wanted to try a Brazilian restaurant in Astoria and found this. Delicious and authentic food, great vibe (decor and music), and lovely staff. Don’t skip on the drinks either. Everything we tried there was fantastic. Waiters are handsome too 🙊

If you wanna find a nice and chill vibes restaurant in Queens, never miss this place！It's like a secret garden, even though it is near by street. I had a wonderful night out there. Favela Grill is your oyster! And they have 🦪too；）

Came here to celebrate my birthday and I had a wonderful time. This place has fantastic food, live music, and amazing service. 10/10 would recommend!

Had the caipirinha and salgahinos mixed very delicious great vibez with the live music 🇧🇷

I love Brazilian food, so I can’t believe I haven’t been to Favela grill in Astoria - Queens before. Their pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese buns) were amazing and their picanha was very filling and very tasty. Service was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely come back .

The food was absolutely amazing; the vibe is so Brazilian 😍 I typically would write lengthy reviews but I mean I have no words other than this place is a MUST TRY & you won’t regret

Been coming here for 5+ years now for the delicious food. All their appetizers and entrees are cooked with flavor and to your liking. Their meat option with multiple types of meats is a favorite for everyone I go with. The option of steak and chicken are cooked well and the sides compliment the meal. Definitely get the banana caramel dessert. We never skip on it no matter how full we are.

Highly recommended! Food is great, friendly service and nice ambiance…excellent overall experience, will come back for sure!

The food is wonderful, the staff super friendly! In Astoria is a great brazilian spot! Recommend!
