    Lovely restaurant with a unique feature. If we need meat, we put the green color top up. Red for stopping meat service Meat is very freshly cooked and presented in front of the tables. We choose what we need. There are two types of the steaks, one is well done, one is medium rare. Strongly recommend the medium rare steak and chicken tights. The fresh salad bars are so nice and many choices.

    The decor is basic but everything else about this restaurant was well worth the hour it took us to get here. From the greeting at the door to the goodbyes, the hospitality was first rate. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Your meal starts with a visit to the salad buffet which has a large selection of well presented choices but it's good not to fill your plate here because the best comes next. Shortly after you return to your seat, the waiters start coming around with long skewers loaded with moist, delicious cuts of meat, cooked to perfection and slice it to your instructions. Each skewer contains a different cut and we had various cuts of beef, lamb, pork (and gammon), chicken and sausages - presented throughout the evening. All absolutely delicious. The waiters return repeatedly until you've had enough. You can stick to one type of meat or sample everything. It's a meat eater's dream. If you manage to leave room, you can follow that with one of the Brazilian desserts. It's a good idea to plan a fast for the next day because you won't be hungry. It's highly recommended. We will be back - regularly.

    I don't know of this is actually a "family-owned" restaurant, but boy does it feel as welcoming as one! Prices are well worth for the amount of food you have available! The meats are fantastic, service was the best that I had had in ANY restaurant (friendly and prompt staff, with practically no waiting times). Definitely recommend checking this place out! Lovely and cosy interior design for the place, and they truly make you feel like home!

    I used to do my birthdays always there, but from now on will never happen again. All of my guest was charged 10% of there bill for the service, also the service was nothing compared what used to be. Not much meat around ages to get to your table. Very expensive for a really poor service. The food was great in flavour but it his time not happy with the service at all.

    Fabulous dining experience! Reminded me of The Carnivore in Nairobi. The waiting staff keep bringing skewers of various meats to your table and slice off the meat onto your plate. They only stop when you turn up the red end of a wooden block on the table. The meats are succulent. There's a salad bar available also. Absolutely delightful! Highly recommended.

    Love the food quality. Brilliant service. Very polite staff. Ambience is excellent. They're meats are very juicy and tender. They have a vast selection of desserts. If you are a chocolate lover, Brigadeirao is a must try.

    Great place to visit, the salad bar well it's more than that is excellent you could just eat from there. The meat they bring round is generally great but some bits can be a little fatty but overall it's a good place to visit. We have been about 4 times and will go back anytime

    Please please please reduce your salt content. We had over 8 cuts of meat and 90% of them were salty. Not sure if it was just that day as it was our first visit. Salad bar was really good though. Lots of options too. I'd visit again, hopefully meats are less salty.

    Excellent food, service and price. The waiters are so attentive and kind. The only thing that needs to improve is the dessert as It tasted very artificial and soggy. It would be nice to if they had Brazilian Acai. But apart from the dessert the restaurant is excellent. I definitley will be back and I recommend it.

  • 3/5 Amanj S Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice cosy restaurant. The food was mixed. Some meats were great some were gamey and one skewer of steak was practically raw not even rare. The cocktails were very nice and the staff were quick to serve. Price wise it was very reasonable but a smile with service would have been nice not that the staff were rude.

  • 5/5 Liam B. 1 year ago on Google
    THE place to go for meat lovers. Huge variety of fresh off the grill meat being brought to your table constantly. Expertly cooked, perfectly seasoned. Bring the carnivore in your life here for a taste of heaven!

    You will never go hungry... The food was delicious, and the meat was cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere with friendly.

  • 4/5 Seb C. 11 months ago on Google
    1st time I've ever tried this concept at a restaurant and loved it. Plenty of side dishes to start your plate off and the meat brought to the table was just perfect.

  • 5/5 brad h. 1 year ago on Google
    We love spending time here as a family - lovely food, great atomsphere and very good service. It's also child friendly and our kids love it. Highly recommend it if you like the meat sweats 😋🥩👍🏻

  • 5/5 G B. 1 year ago on Google
    Second time of visiting. It's just a great experience. This time I took some family (all old!) And they'd never heard of the concept, but all loved it. The reason for five stars is the quality of the meats, I think the sheer volume of foods they go through you'd think they would go for fatty, cheap cuts but they don't. Would recommend for sure if you're a meat lover...maybe if you're a vegan you should stay clear! :) And the buffet of sides is great too.

  • 4/5 Phil 7 months ago on Google
    It was a great food, in a friendly atmosphere. They keep you constantly supplied with a great selection of meat the salad bar was pretty epic as well. Even has a recently found out gluten free type( meat vegan ) I found the selection pretty good.

  • 5/5 Richard L. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is excellent. Lots of meat available, can try lots of different dishes. No restriction on amount of food, so don’t eat lunch before hand! Will usually have to book and it seems to be busy all the time. A great place.

  • 5/5 Lazaros S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite restaurants in Swindon! Nice, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Drinks are very good and the food is incredible. Every minute or two another server would come by with a different selection of grilled meats.. all of the meat was so mouthwatering and uniquely different. Absolutely loved the beef rib, lamb, sausage and chicken hearts.. really everything was delicious (cheesy potatoes too!). I probably could’ve kept going but they would’ve had to roll me home.. eating nonstop like a goldfish every time more food would come by my table. Do yourself a favor and go to this place! Make sure to make reservations though, it gets busy (rightfully so!).

    What a restaurant, this place is a hidden gem!! Tonight was not the first time we've been here but they never fail to amaze me. The food is incredible, this drinks flow and the service is outstanding- literally they bend over backwards for you, I honestly cannot rave about this place enough. Oh and we love Nino!!

  • 5/5 Rj R. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was excellent! Very impressed with the high quality of the meats being served, fillet and sirloin steak just to mention 2! Salad bar had fantastic selection for all ages. Really worth a visit here, fairly priced too. 5/5.

    Recently visited as a valentines meal due to hearing great reviews. Was very disappointed with it. All the meats were salty and although stating they cook to medium rare, lots of the meat were pink. Furthermore, lots of it was chewy. Based on paying £60 for two people (no drinks) I won’t be returning.

😠 100% Overrated. We do not go out a lot but thought we would treat ourselves. The starters were nice. However after asking for salad with the Steak we had green veg.
