Churrasqueira Estrela Inc in North York

Excellent place and the food is delicious, terrible attitude of the short cashier with glasses who speaks Spanish

Delicious good prices

Great value. Very friendly staff. Solid food.

Excelente food and fresh ! More the 10 years eat here very even quality ! Excellent service !

If you re not Spanish, they don t wanna serve you. They don t want to serve you.

We are customers fot last 15 years.. was the best bbq chicken around, but last 2 years is getting worst and worst eat a piece of carboard is the same. I dont know is under new managment or diff cheff. I want my chicken, straight from gril, not a little oven to keept warm.. ( still cooking that way!) even if is just to keep it warm the moistture OVERCOOK the chicken/carboard.. not good any more.. this happens to me last 4 times Always I want to give a try again, getting worst and worst. Saddly is nothing around..

The food here used to be exceptional - not anymore. Prices used to be posted on a menu board and that s gone too. A cooked chicken is $20 now. Won t be back.

Was not happy with the meal, food was cold and not fresh. We didnt get any utensils. We threw most of the food away as it was old. No onions in the salad too.

Please don t go to this place they sell chicken from the previous days i got food poisoning from this place.

Won t answer calls or accept any orders through mobile apps. Terrible customer service

Good portions, the food is tasty and they make the best Bbq Chicken. Parking: Just beside it is Seara Bakery, we can park there. Food : 5/5 |

Very good place definitely recommend !

Straight up good Portuguese charcoal BBQ with all the sides. Great value and flavour.

Grilled fish on Fridays

Quick service, chicken was great, the rice was cold. Good variety of food at the hot table.

Portion sizes for chicken are terrible, paid $14 and received one chicken leg with barely any meat. Taste is good but definitely not worth the money.

Okay Family Travel Thyme friends you HAVE TO GO HERE!! If your in TO within driving distance! Portuguese Chicken family meal is the best!! Incredible value!

This restaurant serves one of the best real bbq chicken in town!!!! 5 star for the food and 5 star for the customer service!!!?

The chick is very delicious

It was my first time visiting this place and the chicken was absolutely amazing. While their menu is not extensive, you know this is a good place when they focus on just a few items for customers. The staff are very friendly too. I really liked that the chicken was very tender, and juicy. It was freshly made too and you can see them roasting it on the rotisserie. I had the chicken wirh the potatoes and small cod potato salad. All so delicious!! This place is becoming one of my top churrasquierias now in this city.! Will definitely come back again soon. There is a Bakery right next door which is a real treat too!

Always good. We usually go for lunch Fresh salads and chicken right off the grill. Some of the usual Portuguese dishes as well.

Very good flavor and fresh food

First time customer loved it, chicken was so good, sides were excellent great portions and fair prices

I ve been a customer here for 15 years , but today was my last day . I used to come with my dad and sisters every week , now I can t that often but when I m craving meat I would drive all the way here for a beef a la casa . But today I went with my mom , and we ordered medium term but it came rare extremely rare ,veggies and potatoes cold and my steak definitely didn t have the right flavour (and trust me, I know what a good steak is , this one taste like old meat) and that s ok .things can happen right ? But what make me take the decision is the way customer service has become lady was really angry at our observations , and they hired now Spanish speaking people which is great funny and ironic part .. Mexican guy on the grill won t talk to you in Spanish even if you talk to them in Spanish my brother in law went the other and he speaks 0 English I told him you are ok .. there are Spanish people there . My brother in law felt humiliated by this guy ( I know it s not you obligation but come oooonnnn !!!) if you go to an Italian, Portuguese , Spanish store you hope for certain language help right ? Anyways . It s really bad when a business losses clients because of its employees .

Just average. Take more care in cooking the rice. This is our goto restaurant, the food is always great tasting. Except, the one time. The rice didnt smell too nice. It ruined our meal. Chicken getting pricey..

Had been a regular. Went here this afternoon (March 30), the owners werent there. A young guy who was very unfriendly mending the counter, and the portion for a large lunch combo was much smaller for $19. With his attitude, youre going to lose a lot of business. Not coming back if he is serving.

Pretty good takeout

Love their chiken

Great Portuguese barbecue chicken Yummy Food

Super delicious, tender juicy chicken and food. Good portions and great prices. Everyone is super friendly.

Great food and good service.

Food is pretty good. Main issue was with the price of the large bacalhau plate which was 2 pieces of fish and chips.. Seems a little steep for that. Also being charged for dine in is something I was unaware of and really have never experienced anywhere else before.

Delicious!!

Amazing place!!! All the food is delicious

Nice place to eat

Delicious food .good service and very reasonable prices

Best favas around. Great BBQ chicken. Generous portions at great prices. We had their steak in mushroom sauce and 2 sides each for $15.00 each!!! It wasnt a big steak to be sure but, damn, it was very flavourful, tender and cooked to a medium so it wasnt overdone even sitting in the pan. The service was very efficient. Its not full service but what do you expect from a take out place? You order the food and drinks that you want, you sit down, you get some olives bread and butter (butter is too cold to spread) and then promptly you get your meal and your drinks delivered to your table. When youre done you get up and pay. Easy and unpretentious. If youre like me though, you get a whole bunch more food to take home and you surprise your better half with delicious chicken, favas, rice and Parisienne potatoes in well stuffed containers! All for what youd pay for 1 person at most restaurants. As for what some are saying about the staff being rude? Absolutely NOT. Very pleasant and took the time to explain the ingredients in the dishes. I have been many times and I have never been disappointed with the service. Perhaps just walking in and flooding my nose with the awesome aromas of the food just puts a smile on my face!

Good food good price good service

Since the owner left to run the 2nd location, the quality has gone down. Today no potatoes during the dinner rush (7pm) and was told none for the rest of the day. Last week the ran out of chicken (again at 7pm). When you order Portuguese Chicken it is ALWAYS chicken, potatoes and rice. To the own PLEASE fix this, I have been going to restaurant since you first open and would hate to go else because your replacement cant figure out how to portion prep.

I ordered almost $50 worth of food today in plans of making it last the weekend and including an extra meal to eat in the car. As we were cashing out I was asked for hot sauce and utensils. Said yes to both. I asked for extra hot sauce which she only provided 1. As we opened everything up and prepared to eat we realized there were no utensils in the bag. My boyfriend went back in the store and to his surprise the older woman who served us with the glasses said I am not giving you more forks they are in the bag, the girl saw . My boyfriend felt uncomfortable and didnt want to make a scene since other customers were there. We then were forkless so luckily the bakery next door gave us forks with ZERO QUESTIONS! 2nd point. Another time we asked for extra hot sauce and the woman LITERALLY faked getting hot sauce and put her hand in the bag. Just terrible customer service and very upsetting that we ve had 2 bad experiences/moments back to back.

The best of roast chicken and Luis, an excellent person

Best food and service

Had a fly in my food, in the garbage it goes. Waste of $16 for quarter chicken

Louis was very nice. The food is amazing. Super juicy chicken

Try this place. Its homie and delicious.

Went to the Etobicoke location. Steak was ok. Lots of potatoes and rice.

Good food, very tasty and fresh. Generous portions.

Very good.

Great taste great prices, you need to try it out!

I wholeheartedly support and prefer humble family-run restaurants that serve good food and provide decent customer service and reasonable pricing. Fancy ambiance is secondary. Whenever we crave grilled chicken and the whole Portuguese dining experience (including of course a big bottle of Guarana!), we always come here if possible, then hop over to the bakery next door for some dessert and coffee/tea --- and extra goodies to bring home. Perfect! Whenever possible, we also eat in as they serve complimentary olives, olive oil, bread and butter. They do recommend you call ahead first to be sure they can set aside a chicken or two for you (sells out fast). More success to this establishment Support The Small Business

I came here dying of hunger. Not only was I full and satisfied, but the staff made me feel welcomed and gave me no problem when I didnt know what to order. I highly recommend it!! The food was delicious. I will definitely return hungry for more.

Best Portugese chicken in the city!

I had bee passing this place for years but always smelled the aroma of grilled meat in the air. So, I finally decided to stop by and there were quite a few people there and also people kept coming after. The chicken was good and flavorful. The potatoes were a bit bland for me but were soft a d cooked well.

Very good cakes

Its a ok place to get ur typical portuguese BBK

Low key, and awesome chicken establishment. Great for a meal on the go. The portions are overwhelmingly generous. There are a few tables for sit down dining as well.

So yummy ! The chicken is very flavourful, tender. The portion is very good for the price and staff is very friendly.

Have ordered take out on several occasions as well as ordered catering for several events. Food has consistently been excellent - hot and fresh. All my guests have commented on how delicious the food it. Fish is perfectly cooked, chicken is juicy and flavourful and sides have been great. Service is always pleasant.

Average Read the other reviews $9 for a half a chicken It says as if to make up a story together they cooked created in the morning & then bickered in the afternoon

Good food

Great food and it is always fresh and I love the environment

AMAZING

Amazing Food! 14 Years In Business Great Friendly Service From Owner & Staff. Delicious Selection Of Fresh Food.

BEST CHARCOL BBQ CHEICKEN EVER!!! Ive been ordering from these guys for like 2 years Same quality every time I visit. %100 recommend these guys

Delicious food

Good place to eat and the service is very good

Typical Portuguese grilled chicken Delicious and juicy but not a nice option if youre looking to dine inside.

The standards of the restaurant are low, customer service is mediocre and food is okay, I found it a little bland.

Absolutely delicious chicken

Friendly service, and delicious food!

They can do better Parking: Very reduced parking lot Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

The best Churrasqueira in Toronto. Their fries are amazing and always kind service

The chicken was really good! I like how they still serve the olives on the table with bread and butter while you wait for your meal! I had a half chicken to share and it was just right! It was soo juicy and delicious! Would definitely recommend this place 100%! Parking: Lots of space Wheelchair accessibility: Available

Excellent

The BBQ chicken is amazing here, its very juicy and tender.

Great Portuguese chicken and food service

Great food Great service and great amount of food for your bucks...love the whole place bakery and delicious yummy food all in one place

Great fresh food. Excellent portions and amazing friendly staff. Highly recommend

Food is aight

I ordered take out from a new restaurant last night- Estrela Restaurant- traditional Portuguese chicken. Clean, spacious, simple, LOCAL. Many times when I have ordered from other restaurants that serve this same fare I have been disappointed at how the chicken dried out so quickly- NOT THIS ONE! I was able to feed my family of five dinner last night and lunch today for just over $55! The portions were generous. Smiles were free. We really need to support this business- it s in a hidden location and needs (and deserves!) community support. 5 Lavington Drive.

Good place for take out

Best value meal

Food is good

Ordered a delicious meal with chicken, roasted potatoes, salad, assorted steamed vegetables, rice with spicy hot sauce for Family Day!! Very delicious and tasty ... will definitely order again... we ordered through ubereats and the driver only picked up half the order :( ... the owner kindly delivered the other half within 10 minutes!! Now THAT S customer service - Cathy

Delicious grilled chicken

Ordered thru uber eats, food was great, the only problem was theres no dressing for the salad and I asked for disposable utensils, nothing came... hope they double.check whats in the order list and make sure its complete before sending.

The best grill chicken in Toronto plus great Portuguese dishes. Friendly staff very clean place the best

Food was okay, but Ive been to better churrasqueiras before. Customer service can be improved.

Best chicken in toronto!

Great BBQ chicken, potatoes and fish.

No customer service skills whatsoever. The owner is very rude. Needs to go to school and take a peoples skill manner course.

always love their food and services

Go to when you are in a rush and want nice homey food. Great chicken, flavourful and always fresh. I like the rice instead of the potatoes but both are tasty. Very affordable prices

Best chicken, hands down

Best chicken in town. Trust me

Always good!

Great service,- they were out of the vegetables and beans when I came in as it was right after the lunch rush and the staff made a fresh batch right then and there for me. Tasty food too!!! Highly recommended!!!

Good delicious tacos

Ordered a grilled whole chicken with potatoes and rice. Chicken was charcoal grilled but sat in a warmer making it soggy. Potatoes werent cooked properly and tasteless. Rice was mediocre at best. Gone are the days of getting fresh off the grill chicken. I guess if you want a REAL portuguese chicken you need to go to Portugal or make it yourself

Though this place is a little farther from me compared to other churrásqueira s, it is worth the extra drive. That being said, I feel as if a 4.5 star rating is best served here. Their chicken is amazing here. It is grilled over charcoal so it has a smokier taste when compared to other places which grill their chicken using traditional grills. They are also fairly consistent with their portioning in terms of chicken size. Other items (fish, rice, seafood) are also great here. My issue though is with the potatoes. The place is never consistent with how they are cooked, so sometimes they are perfect and other times they are way to hard or old. The service in my 10 or so years of coming here is also great and has not changed. Overall, would recommend you give this place a try.

Excellent people and delicious food and service. I love it.

Awesome as always. Great to dine in

Great food and great prices .

Good chicken, great potatoes. Decent prices.

Amazing Food. Very Portuguese. Really Portuguese!

Got the bbq chicken with potatoes and vegetables chicken was good and the vegetables was frozen carrots no taste to them kinda raw and potatoed I could had planted them again completely raw/hard....had got food there once before and chicken was dry overcooked. Not going back

The food tastes bland and the meat is dry. I dont think Ill ever be going back.

Delicious food

this place has the best food love there chicken omg

Good bang for your buck.

I dont recommend u to buy food at this restaurant the food smells really bad and the place is so dirty the chicken is not eatable and thx for ur comprehension it is a really bad restaurant thank you

Good food and service

Great. Excellent chicken and food

So good

The delicious stew

Great chicken, food is always fresh

I dont bother writing negative comments just for miner things, this one was terrible, my friend suggested that we meet at this restaurant because he works very close by. As soon as I seat down, I felt the chair was sticky, no matter where I touch on the table it was gummy sticky, that means they were wiping with damp cloth all the the time but not making an effort to clean it properly. The younge lady brought our food to the table and the cutlery, wow if I can see the spots on the knife and fork than she can see it too, I had to wipe them properly before using them. Anyways that day at night I got sick and could not shake off the bacteria for couple days that I received from that restaurant.

Best portuguese BBQ chicken

Food was great, but their customer service is sub par, I walked in the place and the lady at the counter served the lady behind me first, even though I walked in first and I just stood their for 10 mins without anyone from the store acknowledging me before getting served, as a first time customer that was not a good 1st impression and pretty disappointing

Great food fast.

I love the flavour of the chiken...

I absolutely love the food and the people working there are fantastic!

Great Portuguese food , good honest people.

First visit will also be the last one. Poor customer service with attitude. The food was not worth the price that we paid for. The chicken was small and dried. We wasted our time and our money going there. The owner should tell employees to wear masks as per health and safety guidelines by Toronto City.

First visit based on google 4.2 star rating. Chicken was ok. BUT the Side dishes are terrible. The peri-peri sauce for the chicken is not real, it s Franks Hot sauce. The roasted potatoes per my son Was beyond BLAND. In my opinion it was boiled tasteless, saltless and devoid of any flavour. At most Portuguese BBQ places: The potatoes have a wonderful garlic butter flavour with peri peri sauce/powder and are actually roasted. The rice was also tasteless, just nothing but bland. Clearly the people who eat here, haven t eaten good Portuguese BBQ. On a good note the staff were quick, friendly and helpful. Other than the chicken (but buy real peri peri sauce like Nandos) - I wouldn t recommend anything else.

Had a great dining experience at this amazing resto! I ordered cod fish meal and it tastes so fresh and delicious. Simple yet very flavourful! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The safety procedures are in place. Thank you!

Great food.

Good food, clean place

Good food, good prices and quick service.

love there chicken and potatoes

Good home style food at very reasonable price.

Excellent food.

Great food

i made an order on doordash they made me wait 30 minutes then cancelled my order. why wouldnt they just not take my order. now i have to wait a week for a refund because they already charged my card. wish i could give 0 stars. TERRIBLE.

Excellent

Cute little spot for one of the best Portuguese chicken. The staff is super friendly here and always treat you like youre apart of their family. It almost feels like youre at home. This spot is amazing. Their chicken is infused with tons of flavour. Their chicken is never dry. Ive been here twice and always get a 1/2 Chicken dinner with rice and potatoes. The best part is that they have the hot sauce out in a bottle on the table for unlimited use. I will always come here for chicken anytime Im in the area.

Pretty good chicken, good service, good atmosphere, nice place to enjoy a meal.

Love the chicken here, we always get it for our family dinners.

Great food and priced well.

Great food!

Consistently good.. great hot table options

Very good chicken friendly staff
