Their homemade Bbq sauce was amazing even after my food i was dipping my bread their bbq sauce!! Also they are extreme friendly Persian lady eas our server and she is deserve the best she was amazing definetly visiting again!!!!
Really loved this restaurant. Service was quick and great. Price is good and offers big portions. Fries were delicious and chicken was juicy. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the grilled calmari. Other than that everything was great. Will definitely come again!
Nice place to eat Portuguese food . Last time I came here things were different but it was still delicious. The chocolate mousse cake is divine !
We didn't feel like waiting in line at a neighbouring restaurant, so we picked this restaurant right next door.
It was after the lunch rush. As soon as we walked it, an employee loudly complained about it never ending. I found it quite rude and shocking but said nothing in the hopes he wasn't referring to more customers arriving. I did check the restaurant's opening hours online just in case they were closed from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., but it said they were open. I even asked an employee if they were open to be extra sure. I hope we weren't intruding. If we were, they could have just pretended they were closed.
The restaurant was almost empty save for a table of customers and 4 employees. An employee seated us right away,... next to a container that was catching water from the dripping air conditioner. An odd choice considering that all the other tables were free.
After a few minutes, the employee from the beginning came to take our order. He and 2 other employees brought the entrées, main meal, drinks and dessert. The wait staff checked in and made sure we had everything we needed.
The chicken was crispy and perfectly seasoned on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. It paired perfectly with the soft bread from the table basket.
I couldn't get enough of the thick, crispy-and-soft homemade potato chips with skins on the edges (portuguese potatoes). They're addictive.
The pastel de nata (egg tart) was rich and flaky, and fresh custard oozed out with every bite. The flan was okay, but we were expecting a fully intact wedge like in the picture, and instead it looked as though someone had taken a big bite out of the tip. The kitchen should consider cutting it in a different shape.
The decor, music and nature scenes were calming.
I think we just caught the staff on an off moment.

We made a quick stop on a rainy day in the middle of the mural festival for some Portuguese food at Restaurant Jano.
While we watched the Formula 1 race, we were delighted by a delicious meal of:
- Bifana: A delicious, well-cooked, and seasoned pork steak sandwich, served with a side of fries and Portuguese salad.
- Tender, exquisitely prepared quarter chicken leg.
We couldn't leave without trying Natas, of course, and we loved the glorious little tarts.

Warmly decorated portuguese restaurant. It didn't look very busy on Friday night, service was quick. We got garlic shrimp appetizer and it was good, the grilled calamari didn't taste much, the rib steak although big was however bland and tasted like not marinated at all. Maybe that's how portuguese steak is supposed to be but we didn't like it at all, even with the spicy sauce. Overall it seems a bit overpriced.
I came here after watching a video suggesting to visit this restaurant. As I entered, we got seated right away. The place had a good amount of locals dining in. The service was great at the beginning but after food was served it was pretty slow. It took a while for us to get the bill as there was only 2 waiters.
We got the half leg with fries and the combo w chicken & pork. You get a salad and the dressing was amazing! I got the soup, it was good and different. Also ordered, the sangria (tasted like juice), flan (definitely not my favorite - it was just too bitter).
