"Our reviewer calls Favela much more than a Brazilian steakhouse, like walking into a large Brazilian kitchen. He praises the menu as being so "fully immersive in Brazilian dishes it almost makes us tear up, from the carne seca com aipim (sauteed Brazilian beef jerky) all the way to isca de peixe (battered white fish)." To honor authenticity, menu items are presented with Portuguese names, as they surely would be in Brazil."
"Brazilian steakhouses get lots of love across America, but they're often misunderstood. Though steaks are indeed a big draw, they're only one component of Brazilian dining, with a whole range of dishes and cooking techniques contributing to the unfolding experience. Perhaps that's why Favela in Astoria, New York, subtly omits the word "steakhouse" in its name, opting instead for Favela Grill."
Favela Grill in Astoria, New York, emphasizes homestyle Brazilian dishes and omits the word 'steakhouse' to reflect broader culinary identity. Menu items use Portuguese names and include dishes such as carne seca com aipim and isca de peixe. Brazilian steakhouses across the U.S. commonly feature open-fire charcoal barbecue, rotating meats like picanha and Cordeiro lamb, Brazilian sausage, pão de queijo, and varied side dishes. Favela Grill's authenticity and untweaked homestyle preparations elevate it above competitors and create an immersive dining experience reminiscent of a large Brazilian kitchen.
