Tia Maria - Brazilian Bar & Restaurant London - (Near Lambeth, South East)

5 /5 Ren: I had an excellent meal at Tia Maria. I was often put off by the prices but decided to give it a go today and I was so happy I did. The coxinhas were delicious and the feijoada very tasty. The service was excellent too, my order came in no time and the person serving me was the sweetest. I would definetely go back.

2 /5 Ron Ron: Good music and friendly people, except the lady at the box office, she is not very welcoming. My Brazilian sausage portion (which isn’t Brazilian) took 1.5 hours to arrive, and the size of the portion was shocking—you can literally count how many slices were on the plate. Looking at other reviews, clearly kitchen got a problem!! The staff looked extremely busy, running around the place, but the venue was half empty, so I honestly don’t get it. Also, if I were you, I’d check the area near the box office at the entrance; something smells bad there. It could be a drain issue caused by the rain. Also the place is very cold!!!! Apart from that, everything was good.

3 /5 Bonsai Ninja: Tia Maria is one of our local venues for drinks and it’s very casual but feels quite easy and definitely has some speakeasy vibes epically during the weekdays and for that we really like to go there for drinks. We discovered that they were doing a 50% off food on one of the weeks, and we tried there for dinner one night. The food was exceptional value especially for half price and the cheese dough ball was really good. The food is generally acceptable quality but the beef was still undercooked and needed more time for cooking. For the price and volume of food, it is definitely a bargain and must!

2 /5 Rod G: It used to be really good 10,15 years ago. It got busy and had loads of cool live music. However recently I’ve went there twice. The last time they were supposed to have “live music” but when I arrived the place was quite empty and no live music happening. Almost no traditional Brazilian dishes and almost no Brazilian alcoholic drinks. Plus the place looks dated. It’s supposed to be a Brazilian bar and restaurant but has no vibe of it at all. It needs a rebranding and refurb. Don’t recommend.

3 /5 André Dutra: Great place with great service but sadly the food was a big mixed feelings about. The coxinha was really good and so was the "costela" and the mixed pastéis!!! However, everything else was frozen food and tasteless. The "mandioca" wasnt cooked enough and we got an apology but nothing else in return. The "calabresa" was incredibly tasteless and seemed to be recently defrost. And the biggest disappointment was the churros. We were told it has dulce de leche/doce de leite inside it but it was also probably a frozen thing that was fried, so it was very dry and tasteless dough not at all close to what a churros is and with a very strange little thing inside that should be doce de leite. Very bad one, would not order again. The service was great, the place was fun also and there are possibilities to watch live Brazilian football. If you go to drink and enjoy your time, its great. If to eat, need to be sure about what to order.
