Churrasqueira Nova Esperanca

It was okay. The chicken I got was dry and the hot sauce was mediocre. If I was in the area I would stop by and have it but nothing I would go out of my way for.

The food is very good and not too expensive usually order here when having a lot of people over service is good

I’ve been on the quest for a month now looking to try different Portuguese Restaurants.
Came across Nova recommended by fellow Unilocalers. I ordered the Family Combo #2 which includes 2 whole chickens, large Potatoes & a large Rice. I also ordered an extra Large Garden Salad.
Everything with 2 Ginger ales came to $ 54. Let me just tell you the food value for this price is outstanding!!! We are a family of four with my hubby (who eats for two) and this will last us Two nights dinner.
The Salad was very fresh, rice was good, potatoes were good but a little mushy. Chicken was okay but definitely needs the accompanied Piri Piri Sauce.
Place was very clean, service was very friendly and place was constantly busy which means you know the food is being replenished constantly. Will definitely be back!

My favourite Portuguese restaurant!
Aside from their chicken being tasty and their generous serving sizes, I love their steamed veggies, parisienne potatoes and fish filet. I have yet to try their other items.
This place is more a takeaway as opposed to a dine-​in. You won’t be disappointed!

Had it for the first time… definitely going again. Chicken was moist and tender, small place, was really busy on a Sunday but fast service

Very busy, no frills, reliable and affordable Portuguese takeout chicken. You’re not getting a meal that’s going to knock you out or anything, but the chicken is still pretty inexpensive and much better than ones you’d get at any grocery store. Stop by at dinner time and there’s consistently several people in line — but they keep it moving. Also means the chicken will be fresh. You have a choice of rotisserie or grilled too.
Chicken: 4
Sides: 3
Value: 4.5

The food here is delicious reasonably priced with filling portions. I ordered the chicken (which was moist and delicious) and my heat level was hot… and boy they weren’t messing with the pepper on that. The Rice was delicious and the little round potatoes were packed with flavor.

This is what a great mom and pop take out restaurant is suppose to be. Great fresh food, excellent service, real culture. Whole chicken and tray of potatoes about $ 16.00. I would give them 5 stars if they did not charge for interact. What is this 1985.

decided to try the food. prefer to sit down and enjoy .but ok why not .i will dirty my bmw and try what i read bosting the food here is better than martins and other great local portuguese bbq. the chicken was ok. nothing special. a little dissapointed when i spilled some sauce in my bmw. thinking out loud i should have not read this crazy review and relaxed at MARTINS and enjoyed a beer at the same time with my chicken. I expected something great and i was very dissapointed. prices were not great Iguess reading the revue i expected something much better than any other portuguese resteraunts but i felt dissapointed.

excellent portguese food. a family of 4 can eat for just over $ 20 with a whole chicken, rice and potatoes and they taste delicious.
also have a cooler with fancy olives, drinks and desserts

Been going here for years, from the time they just opened up and the old cranky man was working by himself, to when his wife and daughter joined up with him. Was just in last week and the daughter has taken it over and the old man has finally retired. Frankly I won’t miss him because he was a bitter grump, but the girl is very friendly and remembers her regulars. I always get the same thing, the 2-​chicken family pack and call in advance to request 1 grilled (needs 40min cooking time.) and 1 rotisserie style. Grilled is 50 cents more, but I love having the two types for contrast. Tried their ribs on a recent visit and they weren’t bad either, dry rubbed with no sauce. Potatoes and rice are nothing special but aren’t really offensive either. Throw a bit of the piri piri sauce on ‘em and you’re good to go. Shrimp fritters looked interesting too, but I already had enough food to feed my house on the last visit, so I’ll check those out next time. I still say they’ve got the best Portuguese chicken in Brampton (Better than Martin’s, better than Lisboa). 50 cent surcharge for debit is annoying.

I actually find the Rotisserie Mechanism quite interesting itself. It looked like a Metallic Medieval Torture Chamber with Gears and all. At least it beats out all those plain old boring Swiss Chalet style Rotisseries. I walk in to see the mid-​age Man greet me and as a standard I requested for the usual Meal. While he did so I browse the Drink Fridge and notice exactly what I needed for a quick pick-​me-​up, Guaraná Antarctica !
When I turned around to face him, he got the Chicken from a Tray while scooping out some Tomatoed Rice and Parisian Potatoes. Nice Gentleman because he offered slightly more to me as it was within half an hour prior to closing the doors. While I was there I even noticed that he brought the food out to the door where a Peel Police Officer was waiting in the Cruiser. Yes, between himself and the women inside they did bicker a bit but I guess that’s what they mean by Tough-​Love.
¼ Chicken, Dark Meat Dinner. He added 0.5 of ¼ Chicken as Bonus.
¼ + (¼×½) = ¼ + ¹⁄₈ = ³⁄₈ Chicken Dinner!
The Rotisserie does give the Chicken a good browning on the skin while the Meat is A-​Okay. The Peri-​Peri Sauce has a good Spicy TANGY flavour on it as much as a few others (Non-​Brampton) I’ve been to. The Parisian Potatoes are standard while the Al-​dente Tomatoed Rice give some resistance that I didn’t even mind it wasn’t the Saffron Rice I have a preference for. Yeah, sad that I’ve some some soft mushy Tomatoed Rice.
