Barcelos Flame Grilled Chicken

I know this is a new place that just opened up, and oh boy am I happy it did ! The chicken wrap is really delicious there. They have delivery, they’re quick too. My order probably took around 8 minutes to make. I would definitely visit again.

Compared to Nando’s (since it’s basically the same thing), it’s not better. The fries here give nando’s a run for their money but the sandwich isn’t the same. The bun here is a lot softer, sauce tastes sweeter and not as many selections for the heat. I recommend Nando’s over Barcelo’s.

I wasn’t able to take pictures of the food because before I knew it I devoured the whole plate.
The service here is always fast and friendly. I always feel very welcomed when I come to this restraint. And what I like about this style of restaurant is that your order food like you do at any other fast food place (at front counter), but they delivery your food straight to your table instead of you standing in line to wait. Which the wait is never too long.
The dining room is very nice and opened. Me and my friends always sit in a booth. And their washrooms are very clean and smell so good!
I always get the chicken sandwich with cheese (very peri) with peri fries and rice, and peri sauce on the side. And it was AMAZING! Even if I did have a picture it would not do it justice. I enjoy every bite and wish that I would eat their food all day, every day.

Definitely comparable to Nando’s for quality. The restaurant décor and menu are almost identical, which is kind of funny. We ordered the Half Pack (2 – 3 people) with half a chicken in mild, 2 kebabs and 8 wings in medium. The mild was barely spicy at all, but tasted good. The medium was a nice heat. We had coleslaw and potato wedges as sides and found those to be only okay. We’ll likely go there again.

Great food! My wife and I are frequenters of Nando’s, but Barcelos will give Nando’s a run for their money! I found the sauce here richer and more flavourful than Nando’s. The price differences are only slightly lower. No garlic mash but they have baked! I highly recommend you give this place a try! We’ll be coming back!

Excellent service; the chicken is tender and juicy and not slathered with sauce. Lots of flavour. The actual restaurant is clean with contemporary décor, and the service is pretty impeccable. These people pride their food and it shows. There is lots of selection too, I ordered a whole chicken for my bf and I to share and he loved it. The food is well flavoured and it’s my new favourite go to for good chicken. Well done Barcelos.

We initially wanted to go to Nando’s but ended up checking out Barcelos flame grilled on 88Ave in Surrey. This is their brand new and just opened location as they had closed the previous outlet behind the Canadian Tire mall a while back; welcome back!!!
The décor and menu are an identical, almost exact replica of Nando’s, although more comfortable, more upscale for fast casual and definitely better layout and service. We walked up to the counter and ordered the family pack for four which consists of a whole flame grilled chicken cut in 8 pieces and comes with two large sides ($ 33.50). The chicken cooked with peri peri was amazing — fall of the bone tender; peri peri fries were great; the yellow rice was tasty and not dry. We added a side of the grilled vegetables which were very, very delicious!
We started with a humus appetizer which came with sliced pita breads and a bowl of garlic chick pea dip ($ 4.99); again very, very delicious! (Did I say how delicious it was?!) And, we also had the chicken livers appetizer ($ 6.99) which was cooked in lemon pepper sauce and came with a Portuguese bun to mop up the remaining sauce at the bottom of the bowl, yum yum yum!!!
They have a vegetarian option we wanted to try so we took in the double veggie kabob plate ($ 12.99) which came with a generous helping of rice and salad and two large and very tasty skewers packed with grilled tofu and vegetables (onions, crunchy red and green peppers, etc).
The staff constantly came to our table to make sure all four of us dining were happy and that the food was tasty. Needless to say, we were extremely pleased and wowed. There was not a single morsel of food left on any of our plates; it was THAT good and most importantly FAST!
Definitely the best flame grilled BBQ joint in Surrey; will be back! #yummy
