   First time here would certainly return - they give you little mats to yes or no to the continuously arriving skewers of meat carved at the table. Be warned they come fast - great salad bar to go with the bbq’d meats. There is even a desert trolley for afters. Don’t forget to check out the Koi fish at the bottom of the stairs and the wall at the end of the restaurant which is a huge aquarium. Excellent value.

   If you are used to the American versions of Brazilian Steakhouses you will be very disappointed. Some of the meats were good but most were mediocre at best. Disappointing.

   We enjoyed the meats very much but the salads were a bit unimaginative. It would have been good to have some bread.

    We choose to go to Desjo do Brazil after going to a matinee performance. The welcome was very friendly even though the front door was broken and wouldn't open easily! I had been to a Churrascaria when I was in Brazil 25 years ago and was keen for my family to experience it. It lived up to my memories and expectations and would recommend to anyone who loves meat. The cocktails, mainly cachaca based were lovely, the side dishes were plentiful and the feijoada was much nicer than I remember from before. If I'm in the area again I would certainly return.

    I wasn’t expect to pay £ 98 for two persons, also the restaurant was very cold and there was no prescription by the management until it was complained . The staff were extremely friendly and nice.

    Big disappointment, salad bar option is all I went for, it was nothing special. Few bits of rubbery garlic bread and coleslaw for £15.50 which was a let down but they add 10% service for a buffet!

    Booked ages ago for a group of 8 of us. Changed the booking last minute as 2 couldn't make it. Staff knew this when we arrived and made us all feel very welcome. I'm a vegetarian mostly so wasn't eating my my friends all had as much meat as humanly possible and appeared to be enjoying it hugely. Service excellent. Maybe a little pricy but probably about standard for the location / cuisine. Only downside was no real options for the veggies or fish eaters. So I ate earlier in the pub. The restaurant itself was very nice and a good atmosphere at 8pm on a Friday in the run up to Xmas. The carp pond and huge wall of fish tank were particularly cool.

    Das brasilianische Buffet ist eine ganz besondere Erfahrung. Immer wieder kommt das Personal mit den unterschiedlichsten Fleischspießen an den Tisch und schneidet frisch Gegrilltes auf den Teller. Beilagen und Salat holt man sich ohne Limit vom Buffet. Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre.

    Booked the table for 9pm. When we arrived the staff were pleasant and we were shown to our seats. We ordered drinks and went to the buffet. The buffet was disappointing, food which had been sat for a while and not replenished however the meat that was offered was tasty and appetising. We were aware that the restaurant serviced finished at 10.30 but being able to book a table for 9pm, I would still expect fresh food to continue. Throughout the evening we were asked numerous times 'are you ok' and felt as though staff were wanting us to leave as we were no longer eating, only drinking. The restaurant was not busy and there were plenty of free tables. Whilst we had an enjoyable evening it was just disappointing because we chose this restaurant due to the good reviews we had seen on Open Table. When the bill arrived it included a gratuities charge of £8. We had 2 meals and 2 drinks which with the charge came to £79 and a few pence. When we asked to split the bill we were told he would charge us £40 each just to make it split even. Now whilst this is something we probably would have suggested anyway, I found it rude to automatically do this to gain a few extra pence tip, particularly when there was a gratuities charge which we were not made aware of until the bill came.

    Ok restaurant, buffet aspect was not great certain food not kept hot. Meat served at table was really good and faultless, however at 23 pound per person the buffet had to live up to more.

    What should I say. The staff is really trying and overall it is not that bad, but the meat quality is nothing more than just acceptable, there is even a bit of a weird taste sometimes. Furthermore, the restaurant could be cleaner (new drinks menu needed!!!). But for 23,50 pounds all you can eat it is good value

    We had a good meal last Saturday, Two of my kids and my partner. a decent salad/vegetable buffet and typical Brazilian BBQ meat brought to the table. I have had better and I have had worse. At £25 per person plus drinks and plus dessert I think it is expensive. What has caused me to be really critical is the service charge that was levied at the end of the meal. The waiting staff were gfreat and would have deserved the 13.5% (high for London) that was added to my bill. But the staff pointed out to me that they don;t get any of the service charge. Rather than pay a further service charge I deducted the 13.5% from my bill and gave the staff a cash tip. I have to ask myself how it legal for a restaurant to do this. But aparently it is legal and so I can only fight back as follows: I live relatively locally and would have returned to the restaurant. Because of the service charge insult I will not. I removed the service charge and ask that you do the same. What a shabby way to treat staff and customers.

    The location was very good, not far from Paddington Station. It's not obvious once you get there as it is in a hotel. Once shown where the restaurant is you'll be pleasantly surprised. There's a huge fish tank and the staff are very welcoming.

    Family meal to celebrate a special occasion. I emailed the restaurant in advance and they kindly put up some decorations around the tablessings. Good service Rodizio style with excellent choice of meat and a varied hot and cold buffet also. Stuff very friendly and helpful and excellent value for money. Would thoroughly recommend this locale.
