Jandaia’s Brazilian Kitchen & Bar

I have always been impressed with this Chef. The food is outstanding and authentic. The service is wonderful!

Food is OK but the menu is very limited. None of the items in the lunch bar seemed authentic Brazilian. Lunch bar menu is always the same.

Love this UYE! What a great way to get a group of people together, try a place out and give it some love. It could have been the choices I had, but the food was good but not great. I chose a 2meat combo option for the selection and the chance to try more than one of their offerings. I chose the chicken, pulled pork. This combo comes with 3 sides. I chose black beans and rice, corn & okra. All the food was very good and the amount of food was enough for 2.
The atmosphere is a strange combo. You walk inside and the tables have a formal setting and are very nice tables & chairs that you would find in a finer eating establishment. There is a bar in the center and if you don’t choose the sit down option and select the ‘cafeteria’ style option, you have to walk over to the cafeteria style display and select your options. They had an enormous amount of food sitting there which made me wonder what they are doing with it at the end of the evening.
It was a nice night so our group sat outside. Outside seating is very casual. The group I went with made up for the strange combo of food vs atmosphere vs authenticity. Would I go back? YES. Would I choose to go back if I had to pick somewhere to go out to? NO

Has really great food and service would recommend to everyone to come and try this place out!

Amazing new bar with amazing food and staff. This is a legit review, I live right near by and finally had the opportunity to try it out on a Friday night and I am impressed. Prices are extremely inexpensive. Tony is the bomb and super attentive and will get you anything you want/​need. It’s like a club, bar and restaurant all in one. Perfection!!!

Co-​worker recommended this place for lunch, there weren’t many people around lunch time, but the food behind the glass looked delicious. I was going to get the lunch special which was rotisserie chicken and a side, but then they allowed me to try the sweet chili pulled chicken and I was sold! It was pricier than the lunch special, ended up paying a little over $ 10, but honestly they pack in the food in the take-​out container, so it was definitely worth it. Very tasty, I would definitely come back with family to try it out for dinner on the weekend.

I went here for lunch for their soft opening and I found the food to be very tasty. I don’t know how authentic the food is but I do like the flavors as they are different than what’s in the area. I did find it weird I got served the food picnic style (in Styrofoam containers with plastic utensils) but if you think of it like a «Brazilian BBQ» joint then it makes more sense (I guess). I haven’t been here for happy hour yet but it looks like a great place to go for good food. I do agree that the ambience is very confusing and the prices were a bit high. Especially the small meat portions on a big pile of rice. I definitely plan to go again but I am hoping things turn up over time. The place has promise but my first experience there was a bit awkward.

Wow! The food was delicious. I’m always excited to visit South American restaurants and this place did not disappoint.
The food is simple, flavorful, authentic, & affordable. Don’t expect a fancy dining experience, although it definitely is a pleasant experience. Expect a family-​owned, authentic dive that you would actually find in Brazil.
You order at a counter full of hot pre-​made selections. The staff at the counter were super friendly and gave me samples of a few of the dishes.
I decided to go with the lunch special which was only $ 4.95. The lunch special included rotisserie chicken, beans, & rice. I’m usually not a fan of black beans, but their beans are different. I could eat them all day! The chicken was super juicy & flavorful. They had a special hot sauce that I poured over my chicken. That made everything even better.
I sampled the chicken & okra side dish and it was amazing! I plan on getting a side of that next time I stop in.
This establishment has earned a new fan. I’ll be back soon and I’ll update accordingly.

Great grilled steak and caipirinhas! Even better playlist. Will come back again for their lunch specials.

Close to UCF and a great price for students! They are currently holding a special: buy 1 get 1 free dinner meal with purchase of two alcoholic beverages (full bar) Perfect for a date night or quick meal out. Check them out! Open late for those people who eat late, like myself as I eat here at the bar.

AMAZING PASTEL DE QUEIJO!!!
The food was hot and delicious and I loved every bite. The to go box was perfect to take the leftovers home and despite the restaurant being empty the waitress was super sweet and attentive. Thank goodness I live so close, this will be perfect for my college budget and Foodie needs!

I am American/​Brazilian and would like to give a honest feedback.
Went to both locations, Aloma Ave and N Alafaya Trail. Both of them the food is pretty bad.
I gave a 2^nd try to the new location at N Alafaya and the result was equally bad.
— food very blend, dripping with oil
— very few options
— served on a «box to go» even if are eating inside
— plastic forks and knifes (impossible to cut a steak with plastic utensils)
— many items on the menu are not available
— price does not correspond to quality ($ 15 ~ $ 20 per person if you add some sides and soda)
— ambiance very confusing, looks like a club (2 empty bars) and fast food style
Bad overall. If you are willing to eat authentic, high quality Brazilian food and fair price, go to some restaurants around International Dr.

I’m always excited to try new places to eat, and a Brazilian restaurant near UCF/​East Orlando sounded great.
First off, the location does not stand out very well, so it’s easy to overlook. In fact, the only way I even knew about this place was because of the friendly sign twirler out front was asking people to come and try lunch. Effective, but they may want to add other types of advertising.
In any case, when I walked in the front door, the layout is quite odd. They clearly limited by the previous establishment’s build-​out as bar. There are (rather ornate) tables everywhere, a giant bar in the middle, and a small stage in the corner. The bartender greeted me, and directed me towards the back of the restaurant, where I noticed the «Order Here» sign above the cafeteria style counter.
The employees were all friendly, and quick to offer samples of everything. I went with the $ 4.99 lunch special, which is a ¼ Chicken Dark, with a nice portion of rice. The flavor is good, but didn’t knock my socks off or anything.
I also tried a Brazilian soda. It tasted OK, and I get that it’s imported, but $ 2 for a 12oz can seems excessive.
Overall a decent lunch value and a nice change of pace from all the burger and pizza joints near UCF.

great food! service was good and employees were very enthusiastic, overall a positive experience. will be returning

Amazing food, an incredibly nice staff, and an awesome ambiance.
If you’re looking for a meal that is delicious and will remind you of your mom’s cooking, then look no further.
The staff is really friendly and they will make sure your satisfied with your meal.
Definitely come check it out.

Very nice staff. Food is amazing! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciates good Brazilian cuisine!

I am Brazilian and this reminds me of my mothers and my aunts cooking. I actually work at the restaurant and it is honestly the best decision I have ever made because they treat me as family and they expect us as their associates to treat everyone that comes in as our own family. Brazilian food, when it is properly made, is the type of food I could eat every day of my life. And since they opened at the beginning of July I have eaten there at least 5 times a week not only because the food is amazing but also because the atmosphere is relaxing and adds an experience that perfectly compliments the food. The food is delicious, healthy, and inexpensive, so it is perfect for college students such as I. They experiment with new ideas for menu items and there is always a new delicious surprise to try… I would suggest everyone to go sample the food and atmosphere as well as say hi to the staff because they are as kind as they come!

Really good food and staff really cares to make sure everything is satisfactory. Building is much larger inside than I excepted since it’s kind of tucked in a corner. Really hope this place gathers a following, they deserve it!

Brand new and their food is delicious! Definitely try this out if your in the neighborhood.

In the old hatters location. Came in for the lunch special, only $ 4.95! I had the rotisserie chicken, white rice, and beans. Delicious! Finally a place close to campus with Latin cuisine. I also imbibed on the Amazonian, a signature drink on the menu, with pineapple and melon flavors. They just opened so the bar is on its way to being fully stocked, but definitely a nice place to grab a drink! Must try the «pão de queijo», which is the Brazilian cheese bread. A few more things to add; the staff is really friendly and they have outdoor seating which is a bonus. I recommend you check this place out!
