Ana's Brazilian Kitchen Reviews

I grew up in Brazil and always look out for Brazilian restaurants. Ana’s is great. Picanha was fantastic. Felt like I was back in Brazil.

Delicious food and amazing service Thank you!! You can really tell time and effort is put in with the food complements to the chef.

This restaurant is a little out-of-the-way it is worth the trip. The service is excellent and most of our order was top-notch. The top sirloin was cooked perfectly and the codfish cakes were an excellent appetizer. The meal came with rice and beans as one would expect, and these were very good as well. We also ordered the beef empanada and I had flan for dessert. Both of these were just average. I would definitely come back to this restaurant not just for the food but for the service!

The food and the service are excellent. Picanha is always delicious with black beans, rice and kale. Must try it!

Ana's kitchen offers heavenly food in a great environment. I love Brazilian cuisine but some restaurants just don't match up. This one does, 1000%, food is so good and authentic, and the taste is just out of this world. I highly recommend this place and the prices are good too!!!

We met the Son for lunch after he had attended a nearby conference. He was in uniform. Place was packed when we arrived 1:15 PM on a Fri. Were given a pager and had table for 3 in 15 min. They have single entrees and entrees for 2 - all served with 3 sides. Wife and I had the chicken with caramelized onions, white rice, black beans and fried yuca ($16.10). Our Son had the chicken with Dijon sauce, brien rice, brown beans, and a house salad ($11.60) We shared a delightful vanilla flan. When the check arrived, our Son’s meal had been deducted for Miltary Appreciation and our Server Andrea had written “thank you for your service” in purple. She got a 30% tip. The food and service were superb - we will return even though it was a 2 hour drive from home. Many waiting when we left. Andrea said they have a Sat. special Brazilian Stew which is very popular.

This authentic Brazilian restaurant was an unexpected pleasure. We ordered a steak dinner and the parmesan chicken dinner. It was enough food to feed at least 4. There was rice and beans, yucca (very good substitute for fries). The service was excellent and we got to meet Ana just before we left.

I ate here one afternoon, the food was excellent, the service friendly and smiling. Highly recommended.

We were visiting family in Orlando when we stumbled across this cute Brazilian restaurant in Kissimmee. We ate there a lunchtime and the food was delicious. I'm a great fan of Brazilian cuisine having spent some of my childhood in Brazil but it's tough to find somewhere which serves it well. This place goes above and beyond to prepare outstanding food, well presented, good quality and absolutely delicious My kids loved it too!! Ana even came out to check we enjoyed it, now that's service!!

OK, be prepared! This is a small restaurant and it has to be small in order to get the special attention and authentic home cooked meal. There is almost always a wait and it can be an hour, but don't worry because you can order a soda and hot pastel di queijo while you wait. You can also order your meal ahead of time so the kitchen can be prepared to serve it faster. We will be back!

Seated immediately, excellent service. The food and beverages were totally outstanding. One of the best steaks I have had in a very long time. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. I can’t wait to go back! I’m telling all my friends about this place, cause it’s worth their time to check it out and enjoy it!

I always try to visit local restaurants when travelling as opposed to franchised locations. Ana's is a little out of the way, but the food was delicious with ample portions. This is a small place, but no reservations required.

By far the best Brazilian homecooking restaurant in Orlando. This is the same familiar food I had growing up in Brazil. The flavors remind me of times past, and there is absolutely no other restaurant in the US (Brazilian or otherwise) that had the same effect on me. First the bad: it is hard to spot on a rundown strip mall on the back of Universal Blvd. First time we went, we were afraid we made a mistake going there. Second, it is tiny, about 6 tables or so, and you may need to wait 1 hour or more to get in (although the owners/servers will bring you drinks and appetizers while you wait on the chairs outside) - no reservations taken. Lastly, the hours: they are only opened for lunch. If you are a local, it should not be a problem, but if you are a tourist in town for the parks, it breaks your day (considering you also may have a long wait). Now for the reasons of the 5 stars: the food, the food, the food, the food and the service! The food is divine, typical home cooking from family gatherings in Brazil. The portions are huge - 2 can share one plate, or if you want to get more for yourself, share with a kid! I eat one by myself just because it is sooo good! The servers are attentive and very nice. I speak the language, so I don't know how an English or Spanish speaker would fare, though - the menus and boards are bilingual, but the restaurant is clearly focused towards Brazilian locals and tourists missing their hometown food. I wish they stay in business forever - they are our required stop in town besides the visit to the parks.

Good food. While on vacation we like to sample different foods. This is not a one $ restaurant most entrees averaged $20. A can of Coke was $3.90.

The food is amazing and the staff super friendly! I love their Brazilian empanadas and stroganoff. Definitely a must try! :)

Fantastic Brazilian comfort food, at great prices. For a full dinner for one person, with appetizer, entree, and beverage, the tab comes to about $25-$30 with tip. The restaurant is small, but comfortable. I counted 8 total tables, of various sizes. Some seat 2, some seat up to 6-8. Total capacity is probably 25-30 customers. Most of the times that I've been there, it has been about 3/4 full. The menu is small, but done right. Basically you have your choice of chicken or beef, each of which can be prepared in about 5 different ways. Then add 3 sides, from a list of about a half dozen. There are also homemade empanadas, homemade pepper oil for seasoning if desired. It's all homemade, and all fantastic. Service is attentive, and extremely friendly. This seems to be where the local Brazilian population eats. I've been there twice for dinner, in the past week, and both nights the dining room was fairly crowded, and I was literally the only person not speaking Portuguese (including the staff). I also noted several repeat customers. They have a loyal following! Give it a try. I think you'll love it!

Came here with friends and had the feijoida, a Brazilian dish of black beans rice and smoked meat, absolutely delicious. Everything is freshly prepared and comes piping hot. Being British I can be very fussy about my food, and wow does this place deliver!!!

I’ve never been to Brazil so can’t tell you how authentic the food is. I can say I had some very different taste experiences that I found very good. Service was great and very friendly and attentive staff. Prices are reasonable. The food quality was excellent. I would definitely visit again if in this area again in the future.

Went for the real Brasil. Coffee, flan, beans and rice, picanha. Obrigado. Excellent food, simple and clean. Much better than going to one of the churrascarias. Quiet. Great service from Julianna. I will be back.

It always a very crowded restaurant, with small place and no wait area. But the food and the waiters are fantastic. The point is, after you sit and order, the service is very fast. They serve "feijoada" on Saturdays, if you want to try a authentic Brazilian food, you have to taste it.

Ana's is a very nice little restaurant for lunch. I was visiting Orlando for a conference and broke away for a few minutes to have lunch. I found Ana's through the Eat Around Town program. The waitstaff were all Brazilian which made it odd that the majority of the food selection was not. I did however, order the Picanha along with Collard Greens, Black Beans and a salad. The meal was delicious and I had no complaints. I would recommend Ana's to anyone looking top grab a quick bite to eat.

Love this place, food good, service good, what's not to like. Admittedly there's sometimes a bit of a queue or line as they like to say here in the US (Brit expat here), but it's worth the wait and goes to show that people come back here time and again. Friendly service and good value.

Most mom and pop brazilian restaurants who also cater to local brazilians are run down, but this is a notable exception. Friendly seevice, reasonable prices and most importantly: good tasting food

Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere and honest prices. Rice with beans, steak and mashed potatoes are delicious, salad and other trivia accompaniments

Cute little restaurant located in a small plaza of buildings. Food was very simple but filling. We didn't know so many people liked Brazilian style food, glad we tried it and would have no problem returning to this spot.

If you are looking for business lunch make sure you have time because service is a little slow. On the other hand food is outstanding and full of Happy people and beautiful smiles, always. Love it!

This independent restaurant is filled with local charm. Homey environment. Clean and bright. Enjoyed a satisfying lunch at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Strangely this restaurant is in a run down shopping park. Most of the premisses appear empty. Only serving up to 4pm. The restaurant has a regular clientele usually Portuguese speaking. We dropped in and were met with a warm and friendly welcome. The food was very good and was something that we had never experienced before . It was very authentic Brazilian (I guess). We enjoyed it however it was quite heavy and we all agreed that we would have preferred it as a dinner later rather than a lunch. Should you go. Yes. I love real non chain restaurants. Give it a try.

We were pleasantly surprised. My eyes fell on the left side of the menu and everything was in Portuguese. Then I glanced to the right and to my relief found the English version of the menu. I think the first language of all of the staff members and the majority of the customers was Portuguese. The restaurant is located in a four sided business center. The building and all of the furnishings look new. The decir adds a distinctive Brazilian flair. The authentic Brazilian food was delicious. The servers were all very pleasant and personable. Ana stopped by and introduced herself. Pricing is moderate. It is a safe location with adequate parking.

This has got to be one of the best restaurants I’ve visited in Orlando. The food was delicious and freshly prepared and the service was excellent with a real personal touch. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty and hot from the Brazilian cheese breads to the steak with rice and brazilian beans. I’m often in Orlando on business and won’t hesitate coming back to this place when I’m there. Fair prices for excellent food!!

If you ever wondered what "home-cooked" means in Brazil, visit Ana... it's like sitting down at someone's dining room for a meal. It will remind you of home cooking from other places, too. Venezuelans, Colombians, Ecuadorians will find something to remind them of home, as well. The food is delicious and ready-made. Ana herself is minding the store, so the quality is always top-notch. No alcohol. There are specials every so often, if you are there when the baked kibbe is on the menu, order it! When it is not, I always go with something "acebolado" (covered in sweated/caramelized onions).

Visited on a trip to Orlando and was wowed by how delicious the food was. The restaurant is rustic and charming and the owner Ana welcomes you with such warmth. I have been to many Brazilian restuarants in my time and this one outshines all of them. Will be back!!

We loved this little hole in the wall. Great Brazilian food and the service, by Anna, was very good. She was extremely helpful with her suggestions.

Delicious authentic Brazilian food in a lovely space. The owner Anna greets everyone with a smile and the recipes come from her family archive. A must visit when in Florida.

Awesome welcome by Gabriela even though it was almost Closing time. Prompt cheerful service making me feel appreciated as a new customer. The Feijoada was very tasty and plenty. Great Fried Yuca and Torresmo Fried Pork Belly (Chicharrón). The Bolinho of Codfish was OK. Nice airy ambiance. Overall a great experience. Thanks Gabriela!

best Brazilian food in Orlando. price is fair, good is of excellent quality and staff is very friendly. is often full I'm a big fan of this restaurant and I go there often.

I was raised in Brasil and have always been very picky with food. Ana's Kitchen will never disappoint. No matter if you choose the ' plate du jour' or if you prefer the menu, all options are wonderful. Ana is extremely personable and always attentive. The restaurant is small, very quaint . Saturday is the best feijoada in Orlando.

Excellent empanadas. The sauces was made on site, but premade and warmed up with the meal. Service was very good (we were late and the last and only persons at the restaurant closing it down). Dessert was okay. The diet guarana was a tad expensive.

Nice small restaurant with good Brazilian food. Staff was very friendly. Make sure to get the breaded bananas.

Amamos comer no Ana’s Kitchen lugar aconchegante, pessoal simpático e comida brasileira de sabor e qualidade!! We love to eat at Ana’s Kitchen, a cozy place, friendly staff and Brazilian food of flavor and quality !!

Great experience at this restaurant recently. Melvin was our waiter and he was very informative and friendly and knowledgeable about the gluten-free preparation's. My wife had the bonefish salad with the salmon protein and I had the bang bang shrimp and the 16 ounce hamburger with fries. Everything was extremely delicious

Greeted by a very sweet young lady who welcomed us warmly and told us it would be a little while for our table. She was going to rearrange 2 tables to accommodate us. An explanation of dishes followed by our drinks and appetizer. The beef empanadas was perfect. The beef with special sauce (garlic) was done to perfection and the garlic special sauce was not over powering but just right. I had the beef with sautéed onions. Tender and delicious. It was a little salty but that’s just me. My son had the tilapia with a passion fruit sauce. To die for. Outrageous! The fried yucca was a very pleasant surprise. Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Great meals!3 for 3😋

You won’t be disappointed eating in this nice place. Has tasty Brazilian food and also good service. I recommend for sure!

Read the reviews on Trip Advisor and decided to go for dinner. Ordered the cod fish balls (6) as an appetizer and they were good. Tried the special dish of the day: Tilapia cooked in a tomato based sauce with a hint of coconut milk, white rice and beans and, must say, THE BEST TILAPIA I've ever had in this country. The portions were substantial. The Flan pudding was to die for. The 'brigadeiro' was rich and scrumptious (chocolate truffle with caramel filling). The expresso and cappuccino were perfect. Add a beer and a Brazilian soft drink and all of this for 2 persons for less than $50.00. Just the fish would have been this much elsewhere....You bet we'll be dining here next time we are in Orlando!

We had two chicken pizzaiolo, a salmon with passionfruit sauce, and a chicken breast Parmigiana. We also had fried yuca, black beans, Caesar salad, mashed potatoes, white rice, and collard greens. They brought out a homemade very spicy chili oil in little cups as well. The food was fresh, plentiful, and very tasty. The staff was attentive and polite. A very good experience!

If you're looking for an authentic Brazilian restaurant that is affordable, in the greater Orlando area, look no further: Anna's Kitchen is it!!!

The bill came with 20% tip already added to the total. They charged for 8 drinks when we only had 4. When we paid they asked if they could keep the change.....wanting us to tip twice. We will never go there again.

Food was delicious! I felt as if I was at home being cooked a homemade plate the meat and all the sides tasted fresh! Its a small little place but well worth the stop!

Had an excellent lunch at this charming restaurant whilst doing the theme parks. We visited the Kissammee branch. The food was outstanding, freshly cooked and well condimented. I'm a great fan of latin american food and this place didn't disappoint. I'm going to be coming back again next time I visit for sure.

My friend recommended Ana’s Kitchen for a get together at my home. They delivered on time, everything was perfect and ready for presentation. It was absolutely delicious and all the guests took second helpings. I was so happy to see how much my guests enjoyed the meal. Excellent cuisine and great service!

We went to Ana's based on Trip Advisor reviews and did not leave disappointed. Prices are reasonable and the food has a "homemade" aspect, what is good. Service is nice as the servers are attentive and always smiling. Our choice of the picanha was great, as well as the side dishes with fried "mandioca" and kale, which were really well seasoned and prepared to the doneness we wanted. The "Milanese chicken" was too battered and too thin. The empanadas are good, but not a real Brazilian "pastel". Make sure that you come early as the restaurant is small and does not have many seats. Overall, a very good experience and we would return if in Orlando.
