My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taste of Brazil in Newark, NJ, and it was an exceptional experience! The food was nothing short of fantastic. I tried a variety of dishes, and each one was bursting with flavor. The Brazilian cuisine is beautifully represented here; the pineapple and cinnamon (I wish I could remember the name they told me), and the main dishes, particularly the grilled meats, were cooked to perfection. The seasoning was spot on, and every bite was a delight. Equally impressive was the staff. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. They checked on us regularly without being intrusive, making sure our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, Taste of Brazil offers a wonderful combination of delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Brazilian dining experience in Newark NJ! I look forward to returning soon!

On top of that, our server, Yasmin, was fantastic! She was attentive, friendly, and made our visit even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a great Brazilian spot with delicious food and excellent service, I highly recommend this place! Can’t wait to come back.
