Nando Grill Carne En Vara

Central Florida's newest Latin BBQ serving delicious Venezuelan Inspired Food. Including grilled meats, arepas, variety of cheeses and sides. Great natural juice selection as well as a full bar. The arepas come with a Dunlop of Venezuelan style sour cream that is so easily paired with anything. Service is very fast. Everything is very fast to be honest. The amount of people waiting to get in as inside the establishment itself it's over the top. It's nit for the easy hearted. They had live music and it was loud. Spend time exploring the menu and its amazing choices.

Came here to celebrate a birthday with a party of 9, place is well decorated but holy crap loud... there is no way to have a conversation with anyone... the prices are insane... I chose not to eat since they wanted 17 dollars for a chicken soup, I can't eat the corn arepas and asked if I could have the tostones and was told nope... due to that and the fact I had to pay 7.50 for a bottle of water that is maybe 3 bucks was my ending point... everyone else ordered food and they all stated the food portions don't match the prices. Also they should ask the table why no one finished their food cause the reason was that it wasn't that good. One person in the party didn't get their food till about 40 mins after everyone else did cause I feel they may have forgotten the dish...The waiters and staff are working their butts off and are very nice and it's not their fault. That's the only reason why I gave it 2 stars... it's gonna end up being a tourist trap. Would not recommend

Vibrant new Venezuelan restaurant close to the Florida mall. I came in to try something different and I got it. The decor is beautiful, kind of a jungle/tropical feel. I sat at the bar and ordered a margarita. The bartender was helpful with some of my questions and I selected the corn pancake (cachapa) with pork ribs. The food came out promptly. I will say the bar seats are very low so if you are not a giant it will be awkward to eat there. The corn pancake comes stuffed with a mild cheese, maybe mozzarella? And then topped with another saltier cheese and a sauce. That thing was amazing! The pork ribs came with sauces on the side but they were so well seasoned that I just ate them plain. Very good experience overall and look forward to bringing others to discover this new gem.

We came here for a work lunch on a Friday - it was busy but we were quickly seated. The lunch specials are not applicable on Fridays apparently. I ordered the picanha entree which was $31 - a bit steep for the small portion size. Food was just ok - definitely limited value given the price and taste. Service was poor and slow. Took us 15 minutes to get the check, we had seven people and there was an automatic service charge of 18%. Definitely will not come back.

"Completely garbage!!!!! Just another overpriced restaurant owned by a Venezuelan, excusing the high prices by claiming you're paying for the atmosphere. I don't even know how this place is still open. Horrible service--the food was dropped off at the table, and we had to eat with our hands to keep it from getting cold because the server never brought plates or utensils. On top of that, an 18% tip charge was added to the bill. We spent $400 on one combo that were supposedly meant for four people, but they only fed two-- that's how small the portions were. Stay away from this establishment."

Outstanding Experience!Amazing food, exceptional service by Diego, and an incredible atmosphere with top-notch entertainment. Every detail made the experience unforgettable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

We visited Nando Grill on a Sunday afternoon and had a mostly delightful experience. The food was good overall, though we found the chicharrones to be a bit underwhelming compared to our expectations. However, the rest of the menu we tried was flavorful and satisfying.One of the highlights of our visit was the live music, which added a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere to the dining experience. Despite the lines extending outside the restaurant, our wait time was surprisingly short--just about 15 minutes for our party of two.Our server, Alex R., deserves a special mention for being both friendly and efficient. As it was our first time dining at Nando Grill, he took the time to explain the menu in detail and ensured we had everything we needed.Overall, we had an amazing experience and would recommend Nando Grill for its lively ambiance, attentive service, and good food (though the chicharrones could use some improvement). We'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Highlights:& Loud and lively ambiance (place is hopping at 11pm on a Friday night)& Portions are small given the price & Good service -- meaning they're sincere about making things rightContext:Arrived at 11:00pm on a Friday nightI do not speak Spanish (those immediately around me spoke Spanish)Ambiance:The music was really loud, which was too loud for regular sitting/dining, but also led to difficulty communicating with the staff. Service:Could have neen the music or maybe a language issue, but there was a miscommunication about how we wanted our steak done. I realize "well done" or "medium well" can mean different things depending on the establishment, though I specified "no pink" to be sure. Our meat came out with a good amount of pink. To the credit of the staff, several folks asked us how things were going after we had our food. The first time, I thought maybe it was my error, so I didn't comment on the pinkness (also sometimes they ask as a formality) . But then a manager came by a second time and asked again. I took this as them being serious about wanting to make sure we had a good experience. So I mentioned that I ordered "no pink" but that it was okay (hopefully it didn't come across as complaining about our individual server because it was loud in there). They brought out some extra pieces of definitely well done and no pink meat. We really appreciated that they made SURE that we could really enjoy the firewood Steak we ordered! Note that we were trying to eat around the original plate with the pink parts, so in the end we got the right portion. Food:Apart from the service and issue/resolution I mentioned above, the prices were high given how much everything cost. I'm guessing you're paying for the ambiance and potentially some live music. Because the food seemed like the portions were small. Maybe it's because it comes in a big tray and then all the steak is in this little plate on one side. There was a lot of empty space on the tray so made it look smaller. The arepas we ordered as a "side" were also small. Some things are advertised as "mini", so it's a perception. Conclusion This place is new and I want them to do well since I don't see too many Venezuelan restaurants (at least where in from). Though the portions and value give me pause. My opinion could be because I can't speak to the authentic Venezuelan experience, though across food, service and ambiance, I thought there were a few kinks to work through. I think they'll get there in time.

We had an amazing time at this restaurant. Food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Great ambiance with live entertainment

Food is not the best, I mean there are better places for Carne en Vara in Orlando. Firedwood meat tasted more like if it was cooked on a gas grill. Prices are outrageous, they even charge you the water and if paying with Credit card there is a fee! If you get a drink on the rocks make sure to tell your server to give you the ice separate or your drink will be more ice than actual liquor. Music is so loud you can't even talk. Very nice decorations and our server was amazing.
