Was here for a quick bite before a concert. I love the fusion of Cuban and Brazilian fare. Delicious drinks!

This place was super cute and fun! Went to celebrate my mothers Birthday on Easter Sunday and we loved it! Both our waiters were great! Andres and his brother were so attentive and great at explaining the brunch details which can be a bit confusing. They were gret at explaining well. Besides that we left happy with the food and especially the delicious drinks! (Caipirinhas my fav) Cant wait to be back here, I definitely suggest this place to get a live band to play some spanish salsa it would be a great look for the place, the vibes, decor, service and food was overall great! Thanks Favela Staff.

Stopped by for a quick dinner before an event. The service was good. I ordered the ropa vieja which comes with plantain chips (a lil disappointing it doesn’t come with a side) but I ordered a side of rice. It was really good! I also love their bar stools that are conga drums, it’s a nice touch!

The service was great and the food was delicious. As a Brazilian, I'm always excited to find good Brazilian eats. Their vegetarian moqueca was delightful. The pineapple caipirinha was also really good. However, everything was very expensive and there were a few hidden fees that weren't explicitly clear (such as an extra charge for pineapple flavor in the caipirinha). If you come here, expect a good meal but also be ready to pay a lot.

One of my favorite restaurants in NYC! This is a must visit of you're in the area. The oysters are fresh, the yucca fries on point and they make one of the best caprininhas EVER! I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH how good this restaurant is and I'm picky when it comes to leaving great reviews! This is not my 1st time visiting either and they have been on point ever single time! 5 plus stars!

Terribly overpriced food. Staff is rude. Do not come here if your intention is to eat Brazilian or Cuban food. They have generic-Americanized dishes.

Standard classics like ropa vieja and some more gournet fusion dishes as well. We ordered the former and 2 other dishes. Everything had a nice flavor kick. Nice side sauces as well. Portion size was decent. Service was attentive and professional. Atmosphere was pleasant, and the bar seats made from conga drums stood out as fun decor. Inside space is voluminous for NYC. I would return.

My husband and I popped in here early one Friday and it was delicious. Great vibe. Love the drum bar stools! The staff was attentive and kind. Ordered 5 snacks and enjoyed them all.

The food here is wonderful. I recommend the frango asado (roast chicken) and squid ink seafood rice dish - good portions and delicious. Although the chicken dish is only chicken so be prepared to order sides! The drinks were strong too which is much appreciated. The decor inside is also beautiful and the service was wonderful.

The overall experience here was great but it was expensive especially the drinks.

Great service! Great menu! Definitely worth the stop if you're in the neighborhood! Even for just a drink. Yummy!

I'm Brazilian and I've never been to a Brazilian restaurant here in Ny. I thought the place was beautiful. The concept of mixing Cuba with Brazil is beautiful. And for decoration it was beautiful.
The reception was very good. However I would suggest a Brazilian chef to change the menu. I know Cuban food well, and the seasonings of both countries left something to be desired. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful. The price is too high. Overpriced!
