Having read previous reviews and the TOAD awards, we visited on a Sunday evening looking forward to a typical churrascaria feast, as there were only 7 other diners present between 8pm and 10pm I had expected rapid service and yet apart from initial meet and greet, the rest of the service experience was incredibly slow. There were 5 or 6... More

Fantastic Brazilian restaurant in the evening. An absolute must!!! This is also where breakfast is served in the morning offering a wide selection of items.

I've been planning to drop by Chamas for sometime, and when I finally did, my experience did not live up to my expectations. I dined there Wednesday night, and I found the service slow - there were long gaps between churrascos. Also, I thought the variety was limited - there were about 5 types that were rotated the entire time... More

This was totally new to me, and I liked the idea. You help yourself to salads, and servers come round with meat on large skewers and slice pieces off for you. Beautifully cooked and quite a selection varying from sausage to sirloin, lamb to chicken. Even hot pineapple! You have a coaster, red one side and green the other. Red... More

What a great restaurant. Good salad, good meat, love the grilled pineapple. The waiters are so friendly, casual yet polite .... You will never feel bad asking for more, well done, crispy bits, rare, juicy! They are there to serve you the best cuts! Just wish we could go more often ....

Except for the price, this has become my favorite restaurant in Abu Dhabi. The quality of the food is amazing for the local standards and the wine selection very good as well. The buffet formula includes self service salads and cakes buffet, plus unlimited served meat of many different varieties according to the typical brazilian "on the spit" style. The... More

I was expecting truly first class, truly delicious grilled meats. I think my expectations were a Bit too high for this restaurant. Whilst very good I cannot say say I was won over. I cannot even say I will return. For those wanting a stomach full of various grilled meats I do recommend it, as it is "all you eat".... More

I've been going to Chamas on and off since it opened, and the whole family used to enjoy it immensely. There was a good choice of meats, with lots of different cuts of beef, and service was prompt. Not anymore. The selection of cuts of beef is less than before, when we dined there there was only 4 (Sirloin, Flank,... More

Chamas is really a great deal, value for money, sinful meat gluttony at its best and drinks are strong yet light on the wallet! Ambiance is great, live band with beautiful music, not cheap karaoke imitations, so yeah, highly recommended for a lovely night out start. 5 star service from all staff as well, not a placid or dull venue...
