From the Southwest Journal: 913 W. Lake St. will soon become home to Brasa Viva Brazil. Co-owner Olmedo Alvarado said that the new restaurant aims to fill a niche for affordable Brazilian cuisine in the Twin Cities. Alvarado was born and raised in Ecuador, though much of his family is Brazilian. He moved to New York City and fell in love with the plentitude of the city's Brazilian options. Shortly after moving to Minneapolis, he recognized a relative dearth of Brazilian restaurants in the Twin Cities and soon began planning his own spot. "When I came here, I said, 'We gotta do something Brazilian causal-style in the Twin Cities,'" Alvarado said. Though the menu is still being finalized and a head chef has yet to be hired, Alvarado said Brasa Viva Brazil will offer dishes like grilled chicken and ribs prepared Brazilian-style. Peanut powders, lemongrass and Brazilian spices give these American-sounding dishes a uniquely tangy flavor.
The biriyani is too good . The gravies are not too colored. Adequate spices for the curries, Lassi is good. The takeout is better than the buffet lunch dishes.

I went there at lunch and the food and service were under par. Maybe it was this specific location, but the employees were not very friendly to my kids. They are always well behaved and inquisitive. Their questions were ignored by the employees at th
