Maybe my family and I just have high standards, but the food here was average at best. I showed pictures of the meal to my friend in Brazil and she said the dishes looked spot on, so maybe Brazilian food just isn’t for everyone. I guess I was expecting something more exotic, but it was basically the same common meats you find everywhere, just prepared and served in a different way, so I found it kind of boring. The steak strips were a little cold and only cooked medium-well, but were still eatable. Taste wasn’t bad and my dad said his ribs weren’t bad, but there was more salad, beans and rice on our plate, then there was meat. The particular style of rice they serve is not our favorite. I think their prices are a bit expensive considering the amount of meat they give you, and there’s only so much beans and rice you can consume in one sitting. Portions certainly aren’t large enough to fill a grown man. It was interesting to try, but it’s not a place I would return to. I could make those kinds of dishes at home, myself.

Went to Lili’s for the first time. The atmosphere she has created was warm and welcoming. The food was amazing!Meats were tender, sauces were full of flavor, as were the beans. The little salad with the fresh tomato salsa gave the dishes a great burst of freshness. My only critique, just needed a little salt to really bring the amazing flavors over the top. This place most definitely will be on my list of go to’s!

I’ve been here a few times now and the food has been amazing every time! I ordered the stroganoff with the creamy mushroom sauce and I was blown away with the flavor, the rice was cooked perfectly and the portions are generous. The owner is so nice and the place itself is super cute. I highly recommend it, can’t wait to go back and try more dishes. Thank you!

Great delicious food! I have been to Brazil a few times and this is just like it! If you want a little taste of good Brazilian cooking this place is for you. Feijoada is a delicious concoction of beans, sausage, and pork and will definitely satisfy your cravings. Our plates where empty and our belly’s where full. Obrigada Lili!

Came here recently and was very pleased with the experience. Cute, quiet atmosphere, fresh food cooked by what I assume was the owner herself (and may I add, who seemed like a really lovely person), food was priced fairly and very fresh. Unique flavors and very healthy. Recommended for sure.

This cute Brazilian café more than filled the void left by the previous tenant, Ohm. While the exterior is a little inconspicuous—a larger “open” sign will help—the interior is bright and welcoming. There’s even a lounge area with books and magazines.
