We arrived at 7pm on a Saturday to an empty restaurant. The waitress introduced herself and throughout the evening is friendly, helpful and efficient. We order some garlic bread and squid for starters. The squid tastes like it has been frozen ie without much flavour, and the flat garlic bread looks and tastes like it is ready packed from a supermarket. My main course was Black Bean Stew served with white rice. It was a nice surprise to find Plantain and Okra in the stew. It wasn’t especially spicy but had a delicious flavour. My companion found their Chicken and Chips greasy and lacking flavour. The chips were in the style of French Fries. The waitress kindly served us a complimentary desert that I enjoyed, less so my companion. During our meal a large party arrived which helped create more atmosphere. So in summary my companion and I had different impressions of the food. Taking account of the price I think 4 stars seems about right, my companion would have rated at 2 or 3 stars. We both agreed the service was excellent. We both thought that once the other party arrived 4 stars felt right for the atmosphere. I do hope the restaurant is able to attract many more diners but wonder whether the prices may be too high for what is in offer compared with other restaurants in the area? Yet it must also be very difficult to cover costs with the prices as they are when the restaurant is less than half full on a Saturday night. I know of no other Portuguese restaurants in the area. Hopefully this one will become better known, busier and go from strength to strength.

Wonderful place with great service! Fresh seafood, delicious meat. Food beautifully served and tasty. I have never had such delicious sangria anywhere else. I highly recommend it, I will definitely come back.

This is a lovely hidden gem, the service is very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes if you not sure what to order. The food was delicious with generous sizing. I plan to return. The food and drink menu is varied and reasonably priced

Belas is an excellent new Portuguese restaurant in Forest Gate (it opened two weeks ago). We had a wonderful dinner with warm, friendly service and delicious food. We were blown away by the "Arroz de marisco", a classic Portuguese seafood rice dish with huge prawns, packed with flavour and includes clams, squid and crab. It's more than enough food for 2 people and would have comfortably fed 3 if you were having starters. The bolo do caco (traditional Madeiran garlic bread) was also very good. They serve Sagres beer on draft and have a nice range of well priced Portuguese wine. It's great value for money and a welcome addition to the restaurant options in the area. Highly recommend a visit.
