Nelore Grill Brazilian Kitchen

I had a super great time here back in February for lunch on a day after one of our heavy snowstorms. The food and caipirinhas are excellent here and the staff is warm and accommodating. For a place that's named "Rice N Beans" you know their rice and beans best be slamming and they certainly are! It's a small place, but a gem of a place. Despite that it's small in size the friend that I was with randomly ran into another friend of hers there. Small world. Fun times. We had a long lunch there, since neither of us had to work that day. I highly recommend it!

Don't go for decor but the way the food will taste....delicious! I order COXINHA and BOBO DE CAMARÃO both good portions and very well done by the traditional Brazilian cuisine . The QUINDIN and the PASSION FRUIT MOUSE ......sooooo good! I'm bringing my friend definitely

Best local mom n pop Brazilian restaurant in the neighborhood hands down. From the ambiance to the food always coming with quality and authenticity from the patrons to the chef. Chef thank you again as usual the steak n eggs always hit!

I been going there 4 times in a month!! I know omg 😳 is extremely delicious!! I’ve tried different dishes every time!! Here are some useful recommendations before visiting: * If you are planning to go during the week days; it’s usually busy after 5 o’clock, at least is what I’ve seen in my visits….. it’s a cozy place where you can walk in, but if you are planning to go with a big group of friends, I suggest you make early reservations!! It gets busy faster and you don’t want to missed out!!! * Be mindful, Great food, it takes just a few minutes extra of preparation!! But believe me!!! You won’t be disappointed at all !!! Plus they are amazing at making sure you are satisfied with the service and food!!! Hey :) MAKE ROOM FOR DESSERT 🍮 They are very kind and caring here !!

The seafood soup is a bit spicy 🌶️, just in case ! It’s great believe me 😋 * Steak lovers:) the Chef 👨‍🍳 prepare every dish with a very unique sauce and flavors!

This small place has just a few tables and delicious Brazilian food. On a cold day, the seafood soup is a must. We had strip steaks that were also so good but were full of their delicious apps already so ended up taking a lot home.

Nelore Grill in Hell’s Kitchen is home to some of the most authentic & flavor-rich Brazilian food in Manhattan. Their website notes that they strive to bring the taste and feel of the Northeast region of Brazil, and they do just that! Not only is the food stellar, but the drinks are unique and they certainly didn’t skimp on the alcohol. To top it off, the staff is friendly, quick & full of top-notch recommendations. I highly recommend you check it out if you’re in the Midtown Manhattan area, but here’s a full review if you want to learn more about Nelore Grill. 👇 This restaurant is small, cozy, and relatively simple from a decor standpoint. There are about 5-8 tables total, so you may have a wait depending on how busy it is (it’s worth the wait). While the space is humble, the staff and food (more on that later) make the experience a 5-star outing. Our waitress was extremely attentive, gave recommendations that exceeded expectations, and was quite friendly. You can tell she (and the other staff) love the restaurant and know they’re recommending dishes that you’ll love. And with that, the food… 👇 The variety, flavor, and portions are phenomenal. Every item we ordered was delicious! For appetizers, we had the Pao de Queijo (cheesy bread) and Coxinha (chicken croquets). Both were extremely flavorful and came as a fair portion size for an appetizer. Our entree is where Nelore really won us over! At the recommendation of our waitress, we ordered the Tabua de Carnes (essentially a meat variety platter). It came with a generous helping of grilled chicken, steak, and pork chop. We also chose the Yucca fries which I highly recommend over the normal fries! Plus, it came with delicious rice and beans. My wife and I both were FULL after this meal AND had leftovers. It’s a great bang for your buck! I may have saved the best for last… the cocktails at Nelore Grill! My wife’s drink was a Cashew Caipirinha and it was AMAZING. Caipirinha is a very common Brazilian cocktail but the cashew option was something brand new to both of us. We loved it! I had the Pedcao Do Ceu, and it was one of the most unique cocktails I’ve ever tried. It had a coconut milk reduction (the main flavor profile), cinnamon, tequila, and cachaca. The flavor was similar-ish horchata but MUCH better. The drink flavors were top-notch and they didn’t skimp on the alcohol, win-win! Nelore Grill in Hell’s Kitchen is some of the best Brazilian food we’ve found in Manhattan. We both were stuffed to the brim and had leftovers for the next day! If you’re in the area, be sure to check out Nelore Grill (Google Maps listing). It’s actually quite close to Central Park and can be easily accessed via the ACE, 123, or NQRW trains.
