navala churrascaria

delicious, meat is amazing , cooked to perfection. the views are fantastic and it was very fun. a different eating experience for me. the staff were also lovely.

lots and lots of food .., the consistency of the cooking let it down ..... 90% of the food was perfectly cooked.... some calamari was under cooked and one serve of beef was tough .... other then that perfect and it would not stop me going again

my husband and i brought our friends to your restaurant on friday night, who were on their honeymoon and were visiting us for a couple of nights and it was the last night they spent in australia. we had a reservation and went there, it was crowded, we ordered two cocktails and a vodka on the rocks, but one of the waitresses, her name was maria, brought us a glass of champagne so i asked my friends if they ordered any champagne in our own language  because they don’t speak english then the waitress said ‘answer yes or no please’. i was confused why she was upset so i asked ‘what?’ and she said something like our behaviour was rude so i said ‘i couldn’t hear you, this place is loud’ then she said ‘i spoke loudly enough, i don’t think you couldn’t hear me’…. she put the cocktails on the table and walked away. from that moment, my husband and i felt very unpleasant and upset and i couldn’t even understand why she tried to argue with me. i called the general manager and talked about everything and he said sorry and i told him that we wanted another staff member to serve us because i didn’t want to ruin our last dinner. i wanted to hear the reason why she said that and tried to teach us, but there was no explanation or even a sorry from her and she kept pointing at us and saying something to her colleague, staring and walking around us. we were furious, and upset, and we don’t want to visit your restaurant again, but we wanted to let you know why. it might be a good idea that the staff have better customer service training.

disgraceful food, overly done cold meat, pathetic? would not pay $5 backs for that thing, let alone $55. stay away from this place

lovely staff and nice food along with riverside views.

wow the meat here was simply delicious. enjoyed all the different cuts they offered and the service was also top notch.

warning - if you want to eat here and get your parking validated - make sure you park at the wilson parking at 123 eagle street. not the wilson parking at eagle st pier. otherwise you don’t get the $9 validated ticket after your meal.

anyway not holding that against them. we came for the lunch bbq all you can eat for $55 per person.

how it works is you order sides - eg chips, sauces etc. but in terms of meat, a waiter comes and carved different selections of meat and you use your tongs to grab a piece. sort of like getting freshly shaved kebab meat - but of better quality.

some of the meat was amazing eg the crispy pork. others were ok. you have your piece and then snack on the sides until another waitstaff comes with another skewer of meat for you to grab with your tongs.

a bit novel in terms of experience... but is it worth $55. in my opinion not really, especially since the sides were literally just chips, black beans, salsa and different sauces... nothing special.

ambience was really nice, and the views are amazing of the brisbane river.

as a result 4/5

i like the churasco and view but need to serve more entree because was eight of us
next to us was four people they got same amount of entree

lovely setting, had the all you can eat.
second time to this restaurant and a nice bottle of red goes down with the beautiful meat selection, service was quick and friendly, well priced, definitely a place to check out.

atmosphere - excellent

service - great. constantly being served meat.

food - as i used to work in brazilian churrascaria, my expectation was very high. the quality of their meat was not bad, but not impressively good either. not worth that high price. i liked their variety of menu such as seafood. however, while getting offered chicken so frequently, we needed to really wait for beef and better quality meat. coraçaos (chicken hearts) were quite small and tasteless for an churrascaria.

after a recommendation from a friend i decided to give this place a go. i went with the meat buffet option where you keep getting served bbq meats until you cannot have anymore. for $55 it was definitely worth it. most meats where cooked well with great seasoning however some seemed a bit over cooked. but overall as a great experience.

had a nice sumptuous buffet dinner. this place is a must visit for carnivorous folks where pocket gets lighter by $55 per person. the grilled meats in skewers keeps on coming generously even before the first serving gets finished.

the best bbq meats among the lot were picanha (rump cap), despite being less salty and lamb rump. coconut fish, calamari and pork leg were also good. the sides were not too overwhelming. coconut rice and potato salad were ordinary, banana frita and black beans were fine, but completely enjoyed the hot sauces- murupi and malgueta chilli.

the drinks weren't great either and bit pricey. tried amazonia and caipirinha and without beating drums, i somehow manage to make better caipirinha with the same cachaca at home.

the staffs were friendly and courteous, outside seating ambience is excellent and i would love to visit again for the bbq meats.

very nice churrasco meat and they have big variety and they keep bringing food for you till you tell them i can’t see meat anymore plus nice view

great variety in food but also huge on the meat, wish there where more vegetable options but apart from that was delicious. the haloumi, chicken thighs, pork and cinnamon pineapple where a huge delight and the pine apple was absolutely delicious. went here for a christmas work party and would definitely go back. very popular and great view, service was slightly slow waiting for people to come around at first but once they started you got a huge variety of everything.

huge disappointment unfortunately. being brazilian i always wanted to visit navala but since it's very expensive i was holding for an special occasion. last friday we went there and and they served very small containers of food which you can order again however the container fit 3 teaspoons of rice, or farofa so you need to be reordering all the time. on the first half an hour we were served 1 sausage and 2 pieces of meat one which was undercooked. the manager came to ask how everything was going and we said that we weren't so happy. after that we started being served more often however most of the meat was tasteless and the picanha was saltless and though. you are charging $55 per person please serve your customers enough food! sorry for the bad review but it was very disappointing. i have been to the monthly feijoada tough and it was really good.
