Acajou Br is described as a warm, family style Brazilian dining spot where flavors feel like home, with standout dishes such as feijoada, picanha, coxinhas, pastel, bobó de camarão, and cassava fries, plus caipirinhas, and where portions are often generous and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Reviews emphasize hospitality and a lively, authentic Brazilian vibe that makes it feel like being in Brazil, suitable for celebrations and casual meals alike. A few comments note slower service, occasional misfires on certain items like some pastries, and ventilation or heat issues in the dining room, as well as questions over value for money due to portion sizes.

I grew up in Brazil & since leaving the country in 1978, have visited Brazilian restaurants in Mexico, New York, Washington DC & other cities. Acajou is the BEST, most authentic one of all, hands down. My wife had the feijoada & pao de queijo & I had the risoles & moqueca. Childhood memories came back to me of my days in Sao Paulo. Absolutely fantastic food at reasonable prices.
Excellent restaurant... delicious food. We had Picanha & churrascao & everything was tasty ,juicy...but perfect. The service was nice & quick... we will definitely come back!
Nous avons commandé une caipirinha & une batida de maracuja, les 2 cocktails étaient vraiment délicieux! La picanha & le plat de crevettes au coco aussi étaient incroyables & cuisson parfait pour la viande 👌
This place is so SO underrated! The food was great, tasty & fresh & the service was impeccable. I ordered a Caipirinha & it was great! There were not a lot of people but the atmosphere was still great. I would highly recommend this place & would go back for sure!

XimXim was to die for (think, Brazilian Mafe) 😍😍😍😍😍 The meat in the Churrasco was on point, with the fried casava flour, fried, rice, black beans...... 🤯
Highly recommend! I went with my family to celebrate my son's birthday, we were very satisfied with the friendly staffs. Every dish was deliciously tasty. Personally, I recommend Bobo de camarau that is shrimps cooked in a cassava cream with coconut milk, it was delicious.
I had Brazilian food for the very first time here & I gotta say it was delicious! But not only food was great, also service was really nice &, as my Brazilian friends said, SOOOO BRAZILIAN - happy, positive & super talkative 🔥 thank you so much for this experience!

Delicious & affordable grill plates! We both had the picanha; about 10 oz steak that comes with feijoada, rice & some crunchy things (no idea what it was, but it was tasty!). Don't be fooled by the appearances, this plate is very filling (& flavourful)!
