    We visited Cabana on a whim not really knowing where we should eat, and I'm very pleased that we did. We sat outside as restaurants are not yet allowed to have indoor dining but the service was still great. The menu is very enticing and it was difficult to know what to order. We opted for the Hot baked cornbread and Chicken doughballs for starters. The doughballs were filled with a lovely tender chicken which was complimented very well by the malagueta mayonnaise. I've had cornbread before and this was as good any any I've had, perfect balance of savoury and sweet. For mains we had the Iron claypot Moqueca curry and the Pulled pork feijoada. The curry was unique with a lovely underlying creaminess cut through with chilli. The rice was superb, slightly sweet and coconutty. The pulled pork had a great smokiness and the pork was very tender. Its rare to try something that I can say was wholly unique and as enjoyable as this. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.

    The only thing that saves this place is that the food is tasty. Service is HORRIBLE! We were seating for so long and ready to make an order, no one was coming to us, so, I just raised my arm to attract some attention from a waiter or a manager. I was holding my hand for so long. Then the manager finally saw and shouted in a mean way, like a nazzi “you can put your hand down”. I’m not an easy getting scared type but omg, that woman scared me 😂😂😂 after that we were scared to ask for anything, lol. Guacamole and cheesecake were nice

    I love this restaurant. They have the best, juicy chicken grilled burger in the city. Also, I love how nice and welcoming the staff are. This was my second visit. Would go back again for sure. 10/10

    Food 🍲 was amazing 🤩 and super stuffy I felt totally full after one main 😃 interior design is very well done and atmosphere is very nice too. The team is great and very helpful and knowledgeable. The thing that made me cut one star to four stars is that in my opinion prices could be just a bit smaller than they are right now. For sure I’ll stop by again as this place screams word - alive !!! Cheers 🥂 to that 🥂

    I came here on a weekday for lunch. The place is beautifully decorated and so colourful. I had the Three Corn Salad £12.50 with Blackened Prawns for an extra £4.50. It was a really delicious salad, especially the prawns but I feel like the price was quite high for what it was. The staff member who served me was really friendly and attentive. There's so much space, this place would be great for a large group get together or event. There a table near the back of the restaurant with 3 huge sofas and chairs, making it into a section of its own. My only feedback for improvement would be cleanliness and the toilets. The table I sat at had not been cleaned from the previous customer and water was dripping from the ceiling, directly onto the toilet. Other than this, I really enjoyed dining here and recommend it!

    This is an awesome place to have a drink with friends. It is well lit and beautifully decorated. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good. If you go there during the off peak hours you will have a really quite and peaceful experience.

    In Cabana-espirito amazonico you almost feel transported to the lush tropical environment of the Amazonian forest! Nice place, colourful, vibrant, with a happy vibe. The food is pretty good and the staff superb. The terraced area outside is a bonus! Starter of crispy tuna tacos. Nice mix of flavours and textures. Main: sirloin with prawns blackened. Good quality ingredients. The steak just a tad overcooked for what i ordered. The rest perfectly cooked. Dessert: chocolate chilli sorbet. With olive oil and chilli? Well, I had to try! Interesting combination but it worked really well. Overall, a nice restaurant to have a relaxed meal and a good time with friends/family. The food is pretty good, reasonably priced and the staff superb. Special mention to the manager Jennifer and to Scott: they were outstanding!

    We had the set menu with guacamole as a starter and the chicken skewer / burger. Guac was nice, the chicken skewer had good flavor but was very chewy. The burger was sand dry and had no flavor. Drinks were good though. All in all would not recommend for food but for drinks & snacks.

    Place is good, the atmosphere is amazing, you definitely feel in the caribbean! The food was delicious, super tasty! we got baked cornbread, flat iron steak (super soft and delicious), flat iron chicken (with Barbecue sauce, it was on point) and delicious cinnamon churros. The staff was super kind. Prices are a bit higher than expected but in overall was worthy. I'm coming back to this place.

    The food was delicious and I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff and atmosphere were also really nice. The 'drink in a bag' cocktail is a must have.

    We enjoyed a nice deal with The Fork but the best was the kind and great service. Italian manager was amazing! The veggie burger is one of the best I’ve ever had! 10/10. My friends didn’t like the quality of their meat dishes so I would recommend trying the other options.

    Visited this chain restaurant on a Sunday evening. It was quite quiet on arrival but full the time we left. The service was fantastic. The staff were friendly, attentive and made some good recommendations on the cocktail menu. The food was really good. We enjoyed the miso garlic butter and bread, and buttermilk chicken to start, then the pulled pork hot pot. It was so good! The hot pot was particularly tasty with the charred kale making the difference. The cocktails were great too. This is a great place for a date night, family meal or group party. They’re well set up for all.

    Great place to eat meat, fresh and juicy in taste. Cocktails are amazing. We opted out for a classic caipirinha and the honey&raspberry caipirosca (both well done). The atmosphere recalls the South American kiosk with plants and soft lights. A little piece of Brazil close to Tottenham court Road station. Waiting staff is really nice, we just wait a little bit longer for our order to be taken but that’s fine for the whole experience we had 🙏🏼

    Service and drinks were really good at Cabana, the Honey Berry Caipirovska was an excellent drink to start the evening. The combination of vegetarian and vegan starters we ordered were fantastic, especially the corn ribs. The traditional hot pots we ordered as a main course were tasty but the starters were the stand out dishes of the evening. Would recommend a visit for cocktails and nibbles over a full meal, but a place not to be missed.

    Loved the details in the resteraunt. Very good service and great chef that made me smores when it was about to close! She was the sweetest :) Check out the photos I attached and be sure to order smores for dessert

    Went here with friends and would like to give a special shout-out to the staff members who were super hospitable and helpful. We reached a little (4-5 minutes) after happy hours but they obliged and agreed to offer it. The drinks were nice - we all tried cocktail at £5 (happy hour price) and also orders 2 snacking items - nachos with guacamole had nice twist which wad an addiction of a Mexican sauce. We also ordered Hot Baked cornbread which was served with maple syrup and turned out different and interesting but was a little dry with literal solid corn pieces which was a bummer. The cocktails we ordered were, a Bossa negroni - which was super strong. The other drinks were Classic Caipirinha, Honey Berry Caipirovska & a mock-tail Sunblock Spritz - all were super refreshing. PS: their website states they offer 20% student discount but the staff have no idea about it - however, like I mentioned their attitude towards customers is so super chilled that they obliged and put the discount!

    Second time here, and food as fantastic as I remember. Went for the chicken skewers, wings, beans and fries. Authentic char to the chicken (you can see them flame grilling it in the kitchen). Beans were okay (just something I’m not used to ordering but still taste fine, maybe a bit watery for my liking) Overall great meal, with good app offers (checkout their app)

    God awful. Ordered a salad but it came without half the ingredients, was overpriced and terrible presentation. The tomatoes (see pic) were either defrosted or canned prior to being served, they were so limp and flat. The server was trying but his attention span was non existent - I told him the meal was bad and he said I'll pass it on, but did nothing to make it up to me as a customer. Great music playlist though.

    Booked through First table and received a half price deal, this is the only reason I am giving it 2 stars. If I had to pay full price for these items I would have been sorely disappointed. The staff are lovely and very accommodating but sadly I don’t go to restaurants for the staff. The food is not great, for what you pay- it does feel like you’re getting ripped off. Rice rock solid, prawn looked slightly under, a heaping plate of beans with very little meat. The corn and sweet potato fries were great though. The ambiance is really nice and it’s well decorated, just a shame on the food!

    We enjoyed our time and the service was extremely good. Ambiance and location is excellent. The best part is they don't heckle guests out like most of the restaurants. A few more mocktails and vegetarian( not vegan) options in mains would be good. Thanks for making our evening wonderful! We would definitely return.

    We were given a Red Letter Day gift voucher for Cabana, so we just had to give this Brazilian restaurant a try. It was a fixed menu three course menu with two or three choices for each course, including a drink. Service was good, but the background traditional music was loud enough to make conversation difficult without adding anything to the atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Keir S. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband treated my to a pre-Theater dinner for my birthday. The staff were ok but our first drink order (Caiprinha 2.0) was wrong, we only realised when we ordered our second drink (Honey Berry Caipirovska) which was exactly the same! So we had two of the Honey Berry, which were delicious anyway. To start we had some dough balls and a prawn tostada which were tasty. Main course was a chicken skewer with a mini three corn salad which I was very impressed with too! Service could have been a little bit better with rarely a smile in site. The place was pretty empty and I thought it was down to it being new but after looking at older reviews, this place has been here a good few years which may be a sign of why it was quiet

  • 4/5 Maria S. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff was attentive and the food came quick. The guacamole was lacking taste and I thought the prices are quite high for what it is overall but otherwise it was tasty. One of the cocktails - a martini, was really bad and given in a wine glass.

  • 4/5 DaeNia La R. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great time and all covid protocol was observed ordered a stake medium rare and it tasted burnt but the manager quickly changed it and the second one was properly done. There was no hassle and staff were extremely friendly.

  • 4/5 Jaime R. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely staff, nice food. It is a bit of a wait to get your food, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush, but lovely nonetheless.
