Comida Brasil - Luton

This is one of the top spots to grab lunch midweek. I make it a point to take a break and stop by this food truck regularly. The team is always cheerful and welcoming, offering a variety of tasty menu items. The prices are reasonable and the food quality is top-notch. I prefer visiting on the days when their main van is available, as it houses their main grill which is essential for preparing their best dishes.

I haven't tried their food in Luton, but in the Street Fair in St Albans that happens in the Townsend on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I'm really pleased they are around and, being a Brazilian myself, I can guarantee that the food taste much better than several bigger chain restaurants around London. If you like spices, don't forget to ask for the malagueta pepper sauce :

I have tried every dish on the menu at this restaurant over the course of several months. It is highly recommended to start with a small taste of the chicken coxinha or beef and sweetcorn starters while you wait for your main course. I enjoy adding some of their incredibly powerful and flavorful chili oil for an extra kick. There is something for everyone on the menu, such as chicken and rice, fish stew, beef dishes, vegetarian options, etc. Personally, I always go for the Feijoada and Galinhada when I have room for more. If you still have space left, I suggest trying the milk pudding for a sweet ending. It is similar to creme caramel but with a luxurious consistency and bold flavors.

We come over to the Arndale regularly as it hosts a better range of shops than many local centres. Before shopping we wanted to have a bite to eat. However, being at the market end we decided to walk through the market first. In the centre we found Comida Brasil. It looked clean, bright and airy but being unfamiliar with Brazilian food approached causiously. The chef/waitress welcomed us and explained the menu. After some thought we decided to try the Feijoada (a pork and black bean stew). It was absolutely delicious. The location gives a pleasant al fresco feel. The prices are worth a mention – all the main course are either £4.50 or £4.95 (I have paid double this elsewhere for vastly inferior food) and all the drinks between 70p and £1. So extremely good value. We will definitely be returning to try the other dishes. Highly recommended!

This restaurant stands out among the many ethnic food options in the market with its unique dishes and helpful staff. It's a refreshing change from the usual offerings and is definitely worth a visit.
