Decent Acarajé — nothing more, nothing less

Acarajé at this place was fine. The smoky and umami-deep flavour was there but not distinguished. black beans was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

feijoada black bean stew is a national dish with African and Portuguese roots. The a Bahian seafood restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. guaraná Antarctica was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Acarajé it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
