Lamb quality
Lamb is one of the more consistently praised cuts, alongside ribs and steak.

What to Eat at Texas De Brazil - Mall of The Emirates How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Texas De Brazil - Mall of The Emirates, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Texas De Brazil - Mall of The Emirates, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Book ahead. If you are coming as a group, reserve in advance because the restaurant is often full.
Set preferences. Tell the servers how you want your meat cooked; one reviewer says rare-to-well-done preferences can be accommodated.
Pace yourself. Treat the meal as a long sitting rather than a quick dinner, and take breaks between rounds.
Eat meat hot. Take each cut when you are ready to eat it, rather than letting it sit and cool on the plate.
Check service. If the circulating meat stops, ask promptly; one diner said the table received no further cuts for an hour despite there being no time limit.

The Bottom Line
Texas De Brazil is a Brazilian churrascaria in Al Barsha, inside Mall of the Emirates, built around meat carved at your table. The all-you-can-eat format covers a broad run of cuts, with reviews calling out picanha, fillet mignon, lamb and ribs. It suits diners who want to settle in for a substantial meal rather than make a quick stop.
The salad bar is a real part of the experience, not just an afterthought: visitors describe it as large, fresh and well stocked. Lobster bisque, mashed potatoes and cheese bread are also popular, while prawns, crème brûlée and other desserts help round out the heavier meal. The atmosphere is lively, and many reviews praise the friendly, attentive service.
Packages vary. One customer reported AED 219 per person for unlimited salad, meat, chicken and seafood, and AED 269 for a package adding unlimited drinks, dessert and a hot drink. Those prices make the value depend heavily on your appetite.
Group bookings are sensible because the restaurant can fill up, especially on weekends; Level 2 parking was recommended for a shorter walk. There are some service and consistency warnings. Reviews mention meat service stopping unexpectedly, slow dishes, occasional over-salting and some overcooked or poor-quality cuts.
Ask for your preferred doneness, take meat while it is hot, and pace yourself.
