Villa Rodizio in Berlin

The buffet is really poor, and the meat is even worse—all pork or chicken with sauces, nothing of quality. It's not a Brazilian restaurant.

Really great food, everything very organized - keep it up!

We sat in a small room with four other people; it was cold. The prawns were good and plentiful, the cocktails very good. The waitress was very friendly. But it felt somewhat like a mass-production operation.

Delicious Brazilian cuisine, friendly staff. High prices, but authentic.

Excellent food, friendly service and good value for money!

It's okay, but the service isn't always as friendly as I'd like, and the buffet food is rather mediocre. When I order Brahma beer, I'd prefer it in a bottle—after all, it's an expensive imported beer; the bottle is half the experience.

A highly sought-after location with a simple yet cozy atmosphere. The food is truly excellent, including a wide selection of dishes, sides, and a salad bar. The presentation of the meat skewers is very appealing. The staff is efficient, attentive, and friendly. I highly recommend this experience.

We've been to Villa Rodizio several times. The rest of the family usually gathers there for Christmas. If you arrive early, you can still enjoy some peace and quiet; it gets a bit noisier later on. The food is always excellent. Both the meat and the salad bar are consistently first-class and delicious. The staff always strives to provide the best possible experience for the guests. We will continue our tradition and hold our family gathering at Villa Rodizio!

I'm Brazilian, and this is not a Brazilian restaurant, not even close. The buffet was the worst I've ever seen, with Mexican tortillas and signs advertising margaritas and sombreros. We asked the waiter if there were any Brazilians, and there weren't any, which proves there's nothing Brazilian about it. The meat was the same—lots of chicken and pork with bland sauces. We paid nearly €100 for nothing; it was our worst experience in Berlin. To top it all off, the rodicio menu included dessert, which we didn't order, but we did get a coffee, and the price was €3.90… If you're looking for a Brazilian restaurant, this isn't the place.

Hi. I can highly recommend it…especially the all-you-can-eat option. Friendly service… It's a bit loud…a bit like a brewery.

We really enjoyed our stay, but we didn't notice any Brazilian flair. There were no attractive women on the team and no Brazilian music. If that had been the case, you would have received six stars. The men, however, were very, very nice.

Excellent food and very, very friendly service. Simply fantastic!! I also find the slightly different take on the original intriguing. The server did a really great job this time. We're always delighted.

In short: We found the buffet food rather mediocre to bad, and the meat carved at the table from the skewer wasn't tasty either. The tables were packed and it was very noisy. The waiters and staff were very attentive, and the best thing about it was the parking space right outside and the good bread. We had to hurry on the way home because we apparently couldn't tolerate the food.

Great food 👍 everything was perfect

it's definitely not an authentic Brazilian buffet. Overpriced for what it is. Maybe a'la carte is better but the meats selection for the buffet is just two mediocre beef cuts.

Because it's so open, it creates a slightly better atmosphere at the train station. We had a warm window seat.

A nice place, serving a good variety of meats and side dishes. They pair everything with wines and beers. The staff is attentive and smiling.

Very tasty meat straight from the grill skewer, salads are also very freshly prepared.

Everything was perfect. The service staff were quick and very friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening.

An unforgettable evening with great service and lots of delicious meat. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, keep up the good work!

The food was very good and plentiful. The staff was very friendly. The ambiance isn't necessarily suitable for a candlelight dinner, but it's quite nice for a larger group.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and extremely friendly service.

We were there last week and I didn't notice anything unusual :-). Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, and very friendly service! We'll definitely be back!

Another fantastic evening! The service could easily get an extra 5 stars. Very motivated, friendly, and just in a great mood.

Great atmosphere with incredible food and nice, friendly, funny, attentive staff...we'll be back.

A culinary sensation, the likes of which you rarely find! My three colleagues and I regularly visit the now-hallowed halls of Villa Rodizio for their all-you-can-eat buffet – and it's gotten better every time! Above all: the meat on the spit is probably the juiciest and most flavorful in all of Berlin. The impact on the wallet, however, is anything but substantial: the prices have only risen moderately, if at all! But so have the portions! The logical conclusion: We'll be back! See you soon in Prenzlauer Berg!

Great atmosphere, the 10-course menu is incredibly delicious, and the price is great. All the staff were super friendly and very attentive. We will be back.

Very crowded, mediocre food, very attentive and courteous service. I wouldn't come back...

From the street, the entrance was rather inconspicuous, but when we walked in, we saw a very attractive restaurant with high ceilings and a very stylish interior. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They explained everything to us about how to order, and then the food arrived. Waiters came to the table with skewers full of meat and sliced ​​it fresh onto our plates. It was simply delicious. If you like a lot of meat like we do, this is the place for you. Top-notch service, top-notch food. Kudos and a big compliment.

We had a delicious meal. The food was more than plentiful and of good quality. It was served by very friendly waiters, and we felt well looked after. There was even a spontaneous birthday surprise.

Meat was good 👍, starter buffet rather mediocre.

Simply perfect... The best meat I've eaten in Germany. Service was perfect, the waiters are great. A churrascaria in Germany.

We had the rodizio, and it was once again delicious. The service was incredibly friendly. We felt very comfortable.

Disappointing – Not a Real Brazilian Churrascaria Our visit to Vila Rodizio was unfortunately a huge disappointment. The concept has nothing to do with an authentic Brazilian churrascaria. Instead of the typical Brazilian meat variety, there was only one type of beef, some chicken (including a chicken heart), and mostly plain pork skewers. A lamb skewer was also served, but it was dry and lacking in flavor. The meat overall was very dry and almost tasteless – even after pointing it out to the waiter, it didn't improve. The "buffet" also had little to no connection with Brazilian cuisine. Instead of typical side dishes or seafood, there were things like hummus and tzatziki – more reminiscent of a mix of Mediterranean or even Bavarian cuisine than Brazilian. A very adapted, completely inauthentic cuisine – unfortunately, lacking in flavor and soul. We paid over €100 for two people (2 rodizio menus and 2 drinks), without dessert and without any special quality meat. Absolutely not worth the price. It's a shame – we were looking forward to a genuine Brazilian experience, but all we got was a heavily adapted, boring version.

It was a wonderful evening, with great food and drinks. Thanks also to the entire staff for their very friendly service.

Friendly and delicious...gladly again

Absolutely superb food..., meat was freshly cut from the spit at the table...

Excellent meat and service, charming atmosphere, we will return.

The service was fantastic, the cocktails truly amazing, the meat was very, very tasty. One star deducted for the rather uninspired starters and side dish buffet. The salads were delicious, and rice was served as a warm side dish. I think they could at least serve fries or croquettes or something similar. Mushrooms, grilled peppers, and the like would also be a great addition. It was all nice, but there wasn't enough (warm) choice for us. By the way, I can only recommend everyone try the flambéed pineapple; it tastes fantastic. Since there's a large main hall, it was extremely loud at times; perhaps they could add some acoustic elements to help calm things down a bit.

Super delicious food and a fantastic experience! The staff was extremely friendly and we all enjoyed the atmosphere.

The food was very good, but what impressed us most was the incredibly friendly staff! So friendly and attentive - truly fantastic! Greetings from Schwerin

Great location and very tasty food

A very clean restaurant, with friendly and efficient staff. The food was very well seasoned, and the meat was tender and not dry. The price is definitely worth it. We'll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful evening. The food was absolutely outstanding, as was the service – so attentive and warm! Thank you Stratos for the lovely evening!

Vila Rodízio, Berlin – When “Brazilian” Becomes a Costume I went in with hope. After all, 4.4 stars and over 6,000 reviews usually point to a solid experience. At the very least, it should mean competence, right? Instead, what I found was a masterclass in how to milk the idea of Brazilian food for a crowd that probably never had the real thing. Frankly, I’m still puzzled how they managed to collect that many glowing reviews. Let me spare you the suspense: if you want authentic Brazilian food, this is not the place. What unfolded here was the saddest attempt at churrasco I’ve ever experienced. The buffet, which should be overflowing with staples, felt like an afterthought. No pão de queijo, no proper sides, no variety. The feijoada looked like canned beans stretched with water and decorated with trace amounts of meat. The farofa was bland, more like a breadcrumb experiment than a Brazilian essential. The skewers, supposedly the crown of the show, were mostly pork and chicken. Not the problem, but each one came disguised under thick coats of lemon, mustard, or barbecue sauce. Nothing about it said churrasco. The one beef cut served, the picanha, should have redeemed the night. Instead, it was served in thin, lifeless slices, with almost no salt and none of the smoky, proud simplicity that defines Brazilian barbecue. To be fair, the waiting staff walking around with the skewers were friendly, but they were rarely seen at my table, despite me asking for more. They simply took their time, which was surprising given that the restaurant was nearly empty. Dessert sealed the deal: banana drowned in chocolate syrup and sprinkled with coconut. If you asked a five-year-old to design a “Brazilian dessert,” this is probably what they’d come up with. And then there’s the atmosphere. Instead of the tropical vibrancy you’d expect, the place looked like a gothic cave, dark and heavy. It felt better suited to a vampire feast than a Brazilian celebration. So yes, the reviews lured me in with the promise of a culinary trip to Brazil. What I got was the ghost of churrasco, dressed in sauces and served in a gloomy cavern. In the end, it felt like paying for a ticket to Disneyland but ending up at a cheap German kirmess attraction.

A high-quality Rodizio, with a unique atmosphere and first-class service

We go there every six months, and I have to say again and again, it's incredibly delicious, and the staff is always very friendly and strives to create the perfect evening. Of course, when you're sitting inside, it's quite loud with so many people, but the delicious food makes it all worthwhile.

Two of us went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant. The food was very good, but you really have to be very hungry to justify the price of over €30 per person. Overall, I can recommend the restaurant. The service was very attentive and friendly. Together, we paid €80 for two people. This included the all-you-can-eat meal, a 0.75-liter bottle of water, and a Spezi. We also added a €10 tip.

We went there for the first time. It was delicious and the staff was super friendly. 👍🤩 The all-you-can-eat menu is highly recommended. 👍🥰

This steakhouse must be good for Europeans. For a Brazilian, it has a long way to go before it's bad. But the service was great. Aside from the hot draft beer and the mayonnaise-infused meat, everything else was good. We received good service… but I don't recommend the all-you-can-eat buffet for Brazilians.

The waiters are all friendly, and I thank them all. The buffet food selection is limited. For example, fruit could be substituted. The meat selection is limited, and it's very spicy, fatty, and salty. The baked pineapple is fantastic! The atmosphere is nice, and I have no complaints about the noise. The sinks and toilets are spotless. I recommend it, but I wouldn't go back myself.

Top! The best, im very little in any form of social interactions, but this place made me comfortable. Very nice, and super good food! Can only recommend!

My absolute favorite restaurant. Super delicious food and incredibly friendly staff.

Delicious as always...my second visit this year and certainly not my last...

I was there with my son and we both agree that the staff are very kind. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious and the buffet selection was nice. Thank you Villa Rodizio team!

We ate there for the first time today, and it was fantastic! The meat was great, the sides delicious, and the cocktails were good. We haven't had such friendly and attentive service in a long time. We had a small child with us, and they took great care of us. Great place!

The food was good, and so was the service. Unfortunately, it was a bit loud, making it difficult for a large group to have a conversation...

Amazing food with skewers of meat parading in front of us! Unlimited side dishes that you can eat as a main course (but of course it's a shame to leave the meats uncooked!). The guys at the service are exemplary! Smiling and very helpful. The prices are more than fair for the quality they offer, especially for Greeks they make much better prices since the owner and many of the employees are Greek! Friendly and warm atmosphere! We highly recommend it!

Excellent environment and service! We communicated in our own language and enjoyed the all-you-can-eat Rodizio!!

Great food, rich portion size and friendly staff! The terrace in the back is wonderful to sit in after a day of Berlin sightseeing.

The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to come back

Absurd: a liter of tap water with a little ice for €7.90. Furthermore, it was unhygienic: the waiter, using the same knife he used to cut the meat, touched the plates of everyone in the room while serving. It would be more appropriate to provide individual tongs for picking up the meat. A one-time experience; better elsewhere.

The buffet was good, with a few options, and it was delicious. The service was excellent, attentive and pleasant. The meat was delicious and well-seasoned. My favorites were the picanha and the chicken hearts. There was no skimping on the food. But everything was delicious. Remember, this is a Brazilian-style restaurant, so be open-minded. Brazilian only in Brazilian!

Quite loud, and the meat was fatty. We didn't like it.

Villa Rodizio is an amazing place! The food was excellent, the waiters were extremely friendly, the environment just perfect! We had the Rodizio all you can buffet including 10 different types of meat cuts and two amazing desserts! It was all delicious and value for money! Will definitely come back! Thank you for the great experience!

Perfect experience, very well organized and for the amount of food an absolute fair Price. Waiters are professional, friendly and consumer oriented. Meat is mostly excellent as well.

I've been coming here on and off for over 15 years. Everything was great the day before yesterday. Thank you so much.

Food 10/10 Super friendly staff, and the prices are completely reasonable. The only downside is that the ambiance looks rather monotonous, but otherwise everything is top-notch!

Pretty good, the service is a little bit slow tho. We ate too much salads during waiting so there’s totally no stomach for the meat 🥲

Restaurant it's really good, for the price you get a fairly good amount of meat (rodizio) that have really good taste, it's better to come a bit after open time if not the meat won't start coming out, staff is super friendly, very clean restaurant, it's not 100% authentic but pretty good rodizio restaurant

a safe bet, good grilled meat, salads, the staff makes you feel at home, it was wonderful

I went with high expectations, and they weren't met. The meat was undercooked, the service was terrible, and the atmosphere was horrible, crowded and very noisy. I had booked in advance, and they seated us at a tiny table right next to others and almost inside the checkout counter, so there were always people walking right past us. I do not recommend it.

High expectations and low reality. Buffet is very weak , few options of salads, the traditional rice, beans and farofa typical of a Brazilian restaurant of Rodizios is a disaster. The beans are well seasoned, thin and without any meat. Farofa looks like those ready-made ones bought at the supermarket, rice was what you could actually eat. But the worst thing is not for there, the waiter, although very friendly, denored an average of 10 minutes to spend with the meats, and the sausage and chicken that usually comes at the beginning came halfway through the long time we expected. ALL meats come seasoned with thyme, and this is not to be expected in any rodizio. One glass of soft drinks costs more than 5 euros. Very expensive for a refrigerant. Honestly terrible restaurant, first and last time.

The food was good, as was the ambiance. Unfortunately, it's a bit noisy for conversation. Hence, one point deducted.

Great place. The typical brasilian all-meat-you-can-eat restaurant with great quality and stunning guest service.

This is a truly first-class dining experience; you can spend hours here. The staff is very friendly, and even child-friendly.

Is not your tipical brazilian experience . Is more a combination of brazilian/mexican food. But the food was very well prepared and tasted very good plus you are eating in a building with a lot of history behind it

A fantastic meat restaurant with good staff who are committed. We chose eat what you can afford and that included a very nice salad buffet (there were also wedge potatoes) very happy with the visit. A bottle of red and two buffets under 1200:- Swedish I see that as very good

Unfortunately, it's a bit Germanized. But all in all, it's a good read and highly recommended.

Very friendly staff, meat was excellent, both in terms of texture and taste. Very recommended! Must taste in Berlin!

There's not much variety in the meats on offer. I don't recommend it to anyone who enjoys real rodizio. I recommend the Café Brasil restaurant, which is cheap and all the dishes are delicious.

A nice place to enjoy delicious food and spend a cozy evening with friends or as a couple

Highly recommended. Delicious food and super friendly service.

We were there with the family when it first opened and found it very cozy. The later and busier it got, the louder it became, and it was like a train station. Our server was super great and funny. Unfortunately, the meat came out too quickly for me, and we didn't really have time to enjoy it. It was something special, and the evening was very nice. Thank you very much.

Highly recommended. Great food, very friendly staff. A wonderful evening. Thank you very much.

A great restaurant to fill you up. Delicious food, friendly service, and a great buffet.

Highly recommended! I found this place through Groupon, and everything was excellent!

A very nice place, good meats and high value per euro, very recommended if you love meats!

As my friend uses to say, this is meatland. We tried the all you can eat formula. And also had a less fat beef steak and two burritos. All you can eat offers 9 different types of meat and free buffet. Also nice wine and cocktails offer.

If you are a meat eater this is for you. We went for the all you can eat for 32.90. The meat was absolutely fantastic. The beef was great. The buffet part though was a little disappointing. The staff were very attentive and there was a safe comfortable atmosphere. You could ask for more meat if you were not satisfied. The beer was Bitberger 5.90 a large glass. Will come back.

You have to enjoy eating meat! I always enjoy the 10-course all-you-can-eat menu.

This restaurant is always recommended! They serve a variety of meat dishes. When you're here, you can try everything. 🔥🔥 It was very busy here. If I have the chance, I'll come back.

Very tasty. Super-nimble waiters and waitresses. Highly recommended.

A visit is highly recommended. The 10-course menu is always excellent.

The food is simply delicious, highly recommended. Even with small portions, you'll be very full.

Really 5/5 🌟 super delicious! 😋

Not really, you only get two slices of meat and the buffet doesn't really have much choice...and it's incredibly loud.

Was a top meal and super hospitality

Very good food and great service

A visit is highly recommended. The burritos are always delicious.
