Nelore Grill

Been wanting to try this place for a while and I’m so glad I get a chance to today! It is a very tiny place but the food is delicious! Portions are big and the prices make sense! Servers were very nice and attentive as well. It was my first time trying Brazilian food and our server took time to explain and gave recommendations on which dish to get. I will definitely return! Highly recommend!

This small place has just a few tables and delicious Brazilian food. On a cold day, the seafood soup is a must. We had strip steaks that were also so good but were full of their delicious apps already so ended up taking a lot home.

Cozy spot that keeps decorations and music traditional to Brazilian culture. The server was friendly and attentive. The food is affordable in comparison to similar spots in the area however the food was a bit bland. We ordered steak and rice combo which was mostly great- The rice was nice and beans were flavorful but the steak was bland and the salad lacked a decent dressing to make it pop. Overall a good experience with affordable prices.

Nelore Grill in Hell’s Kitchen is home to some of the most authentic & flavor-rich Brazilian food in Manhattan. Their website notes that they strive to bring the taste and feel of the Northeast region of Brazil, and they do just that! Not only is the food stellar, but the drinks are unique and they certainly didn’t skimp on the alcohol. To top it off, the staff is friendly, quick & full of top-notch recommendations. I highly recommend you check it out if you’re in the Midtown Manhattan area, but here’s a full review if you want to learn more about Nelore Grill. 👇 This restaurant is small, cozy, and relatively simple from a decor standpoint. There are about 5-8 tables total, so you may have a wait depending on how busy it is (it’s worth the wait). While the space is humble, the staff and food (more on that later) make the experience a 5-star outing. Our waitress was extremely attentive, gave recommendations that exceeded expectations, and was quite friendly. You can tell she (and the other staff) love the restaurant and know they’re recommending dishes that you’ll love. And with that, the food… 👇 The variety, flavor, and portions are phenomenal. Every item we ordered was delicious! For appetizers, we had the Pao de Queijo (cheesy bread) and Coxinha (chicken croquets). Both were extremely flavorful and came as a fair portion size for an appetizer. Our entree is where Nelore really won us over! At the recommendation of our waitress, we ordered the Tabua de Carnes (essentially a meat variety platter). It came with a generous helping of grilled chicken, steak, and pork chop. We also chose the Yucca fries which I highly recommend over the normal fries! Plus, it came with delicious rice and beans. My wife and I both were FULL after this meal AND had leftovers. It’s a great bang for your buck! I may have saved the best for last… the cocktails at Nelore Grill! My wife’s drink was a Cashew Caipirinha and it was AMAZING. Caipirinha is a very common Brazilian cocktail but the cashew option was something brand new to both of us. We loved it! I had the Pedcao Do Ceu, and it was one of the most unique cocktails I’ve ever tried. It had a coconut milk reduction (the main flavor profile), cinnamon, tequila, and cachaca. The flavor was similar-ish horchata but MUCH better. The drink flavors were top-notch and they didn’t skimp on the alcohol, win-win! Nelore Grill in Hell’s Kitchen is some of the best Brazilian food we’ve found in Manhattan. We both were stuffed to the brim and had leftovers for the next day! If you’re in the area, be sure to check out Nelore Grill (Google Maps listing). It’s actually quite close to Central Park and can be easily accessed via the ACE, 123, or NQRW trains.

Very cute place with good food and service. Small and intimate perfect if you're on a date. Lots of charm. Really enjoyed my visit.

Best caipirinha in the city and not only that.. the food is amazing. Tasty and huge portions. Everything from drinks, starters to mains and deserts was just great. Kind and friendly service as well. Can’t wait to be back

Hole in the wall restaurant with authentic Brazilian cuisine that did not disappoint! Great service, hearty portions, and incredible flavors. Don’t miss this place!

Just delicious! I used to visit this spot when it was Rice & Beans and was wondering how Nelore would be. Happy to say it was so good. Very tasty vegetable dish.
