Love this place. The atmosphere is really nice, the staff are very helpful and friendly.

The portion for the price doesn’t really match. I’d be happy if they add more or lower the price.

Our Friday night in WA found us wandering down Shafto Lane to Angel Falls Grill. This modern Venezuelan restaurant has an entirely gluten free menu that features some delicious looking meals. You can find Angel Falls Grill at Shop 16 in the foodie hub of Shafto Lane in Perth. At first, you might walk past the lane, I know we did. But you can look out for the large triangular archway in between Paris Perth and shop 876. There will also be a sign for Angel Falls Grill near the entrance to the lane. Walking up you’ll pass many busy establishments but the one you want will be on your right. Sadly, Angel Falls Grill doesn’t take bookings for under four people for dinner on Fridays or Saturdays. However, walk-ins are welcome. We only had to wait around 10 to 15 minutes before a table was free.

We started off with the Empanadas to share.  Each one was different and all were so very tasty.  We then had the Roraima Cachapa which was absolutely delicious.  The A.F.G. Parrilla with eye fillet drew high praise.  The wine list is good with a good selection of South American beers if you want to try something different.  There are items on the menu I am going to try next time we go.  There is a parking station nearby which is very handy.

Absolutely unique, you will not find anything else like this in Perth!

Lovely grill-bar vibe and set-up on the trendy shafto lane and the perfect way to begin a night out. Highly recommend the mini arepa/cachapa degustation, and the AFG parilla plate which offers a great way to sample the variety of treats on offer (chorizo, yuca, steak, rice & beans (congri) and a zesty green sauce). Ripe platanos are also wonderfully sweet and waxy.

The cachapas in particular have the most wonderful texture and pack the full flavour of corn (from which they are made). I could eat ten without any filling or sides...

Tres Leches cake is also to die for - featuring the perfect balance of thoroughly leche-soaked cake and velvety sweet sauce.

Went here last Friday with 5 friends for dinner. Food and service was excellent. Pricing was reasonable too at approx 80 per head including a few beers and quite a few cocktails each. They helped us pick some mixed grill share plates and were spot on for the portion sizes. Everything was great. The meat was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Great cocktails. Well worth a visit but book as it was very busy.

We went here for lunch on Saturday and absolutely loved it. We ordered the “feed me” option so we could try a variety of Venezuelan dishes. It’s a big meal!! Starts with 4 different entree samplers which were all totally delicious. Then, because we don’t eat seafood, we got a really good pulled pork salad. The final course is 2 steaks each (the eye fillet is probably the best steak I’ve ever had.. so tender you can cut thru it like soft butter, smoky and charred... so yum!!!), chorizo, sausage, coleslaw. We were so impressed!! The service was really friendly too and our server explained each course to us. Great place and I highly recommend!!

Visited this place on a friday night. We managed to book this place online as we were a large group.

We ordered: the tepuy degustation- 500g all cuts of beef (eye fillet, porterhouse and rump cap with morcilla (black pudding), signature chorizo, yuca chips, corn on the cob, congri, avocado and chimichurri sauce; corn croquette- four crispy corn croquettes made from sweet corn, bacon and cheese served with green aioli sauce; Extra greenie arepas- char grilled slices of eggplant, zucchini, pumpkin topped with roasted capsicum, sauteed mushrooms and feta; Domino arepas- slow cooked signature black beans topped with crumbed feta; Caroni cachapas- mixed prawns and squid gently sauteed in extra virgin olive oil, with garlic and topped with fresh sliced avocado; Cazuela- mixed prawn and squid gently sauteed in garlic, extra virgin olive oil and coriander; Chori arepas- AFG signature spice chorizo served with four mini arepas and famous AFG guasacaca sauce; and Cainama cachapas- smoked and char grilled eye fillet, caramelised onion, roasted capsicum, grilled zucchini and AFG signature guasacaca sauce.

Just delicious! Loved how everything on the menu is gluten free, and few vegetarian options. Very prompt service. My favourite was the Extra Greenie. Would love to try the domino with the cachapas next time. Definitely coming back for more!

Venezuelan is definitely not a common cuisine here in Perth – but for those in the know, I’m sure they’ll instantly agree that is a delicious treat to devour. And that’s where Angel Falls Grill brings their real point of difference as the first Venezuelan restaurant in our city located in Shafto Lane.

Lovely food and staff here! You get to build your own meal with grilled meat or you can choose form either arepas/cachapas. Food was very tasty and were large portions! Generous amounts of halloumi were given in the cachapa I ordered. The chips were huge and the prawns were premium sized too! Enjoyed the ambience even though we were sitting outdoors

I like coming to this Venezuelan food place in shafto lane. I like the ambiance - busy, packed, yet cozy. I like the friendly and polite staff. More importantly, I like the food - they are beautifully done and taste really good too! They have 2 sizes (arepas and cachapas for extra $4). It’s not that huge so you should go for cachapas if you are hungry.

Walked in here for a late lunch on my recent trip to Perth. The staff was really friendly. I ordered the Canaima Arepa which was delicious - with a decent serving of meat, it tasted halfway between a good steak and a panini (I think it was the grilled capsicum, zucchini and caramelised onion). I Would definitely visit again next time I'm in Perth.

Hubs and I came here on a Friday night for our anniversary. They don't take bookings for Friday and Saturday nights, but there were seats available at 6:30pm. The live music was wonderful, and the food was everything we were hoping for! He had the surf n' turf, and I tried the angel falls cachapas with a plantain on the side. Servings were generous and we were too full for dessert, having not ordered an entree for that purpose! We also had a smasher of a mojito, and the passion G&T. With the entertainment book discount it set us back about $60. 👍👍 I'll be back to try their arepas, and to have a go at their breakfast menu. How lucky are we to have this place?!

I went to this place with my girlfriend and we agreed that the food here is so good.
We ordered cassava chips (5 big pieces of cassava chips served with sour cream), mini mix, empanadas and aussie glory cachapas.

Cassava chips was good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Like potato chips with more texture.
We love mini mix. You can taste different combination of legendary selection with surprisingly spicy chilli mayo. We loved the chilli mayo so we ordered an extra.
Cachapas were good too, just a little bit too oily. But I loved the sauce, I think guacamole.
We prefer cachapas than arepas.
Definitely will come back to try more with friends.


Oh 1 more thing, the staffs were so nice.

The food was tasty and yummy! Enjoyed something different that our usual burger..this is a good different! Corn pancake with grilled steak (angel falls) was really delicious. Portion was good, filling enough and the service was impeccable.

A bit of a downside was the haloumi was totally black and was bitter, next time I would tell them not to char it too much.

I am Colombian and it's the only place here where I found nice food similar to home, it's a little bit overpriced, and the portions are not big. But I will recommend it if you want to try Venezuelan and Colombian (north) food.

I tried to book a table for my husband's birthday on Saturday but they take no bookings for groups smaller than 7. When we arrived and asked for a table, they said they are fully booked, yet most of the tables were for 4. We had to separately ask to be seated at the patio and have the heater on, the waiter did not make an effort to seat us.

We had a lovely meal worth $225 including drinks, a massive meat platter for two and some arepas. Everything was delicious and fresh. 

However, midway through our desserts, a waiter decided to squeeze us four into a table of two because they needed our table. We would have stayed for more drinks but what's the point if your business is not wanted? Come on Angel Falls, you could be the best restaurant in town but best restaurants come with excellent service!

We had an early morning start & needed breakfast. Actually noticed this cafe tucked down a lane way & it looked interesting. On further exploration we noted it to serve Venezuelan food. Great find so in we went. I was in need of something other than the the boring avocado or eggs. Actually ended up with both served Venezuelan style. Great chilli hit too & lots of greenery. Coffee was bold & strong & the service was spot on.

Nice place to try something different and catch up with friends. That being said I encourage you to avoid comparisons: this is Venezuelan food, not Mexican, not Indian, not Brazilian or Cuban. We had the empanadas platter and I had the pabellon with a side arepa and a papelon drink, it doesn't get more Venezuelan than that. I got strong and rich flavours in every bite. Service was friendly and food came out fairly quick, portions were reasonably sized and prices very fair. Location is great but a bit cold, need to turn those heaters on earlier. I will come back soon, I'm keen to try the cachapas.

When Mrs. M came back to P-town for a few days, she wanted to try something different. Well, Angel Falls Grill came to mind! When you can hardly understand a menu because it's in a foreign language, it's bound to be different right? So, we made reservations for a Friday night and off we went. When we arrived the place was absolutely buzzing. Every seat was filled and there was even live music. Impressive for a relatively small restaurant.

I went with a group of friends last weekend to find that this place was quite good. There was a solo musician playing music which added a great atmosphere. We got the platter to share, the food was very fresh and tasty, however the portion sizes on that platter were really very small. So that was disappointing. The cocktails were very good too. Overall I would recommend this place, however be prepared for small portions, but the food was delicious, especially the avocado salsa.

Great little restaurant in the bustling Shafto Lane in the city. Food was a little different, tasty and well cooked, whilst the service was friendly and efficient.

Food
Venezuelan cuisine, which was similar to Mexican/Argentinean/Spanish. We went for dinner and decided to share dishes so that we were able to try as many different items as possible. All were great, and could not fault any of them – special mention to the Pinchos, Empanadas and Cachapas – we tried several different ones…

Good selection of drinks, inc cocktails and beers…

Service
The service was excellent - very friendly and responsive, despite a busy, full restaurant.

We will definitely return and would recommend…

Why have I not been here til now? It was delicious. Got the mini mix entree of arepas and cachapas to start which came out quickly. Those arepas are so crispy and tasty! The sauce it came with went well with it all. Ordered the porterhouse steak with fried ripe plaintains and avocado salsa. Steak was cooked well with a nice crust to it. Plaintains were sweet (like fried bananas). Avocado salsa went well with it all. Good food that's a bit different. Was busy on a Friday night so definitely recommend a booking. They had live music for a while too which was a nice touch.

Stumbled on this place,while looking for retail space in shafto lane ,south American food is in trend . I've heard good thing so was very keen to try.we decided on the plater for 2 for $90 .the plater had grilled rump steak grilled scotch fillet ,grilled Chrizo, grilled blood sausage plantine deep fried chip ,grilled corn and a bowl of rice and beans
The meat beautifully cooked and tender but a little fatty for my liking .the Chrizo nice smoky flavor and char grilled taste which bought out the flavor of sweet parprika. Blood sausage rich ,sweet and salty yum yum
Corn was a winner cooked over the grill covered in some sought of butter garlic
The rice and beans needed more depth it's quiet heavy with all the protein. The banana fritter chip thingys were pretty damn good nice deep fried batter ,then the softness inside was a great texture in my mouth 5x double shot ciroc vodka 160 I was happy with my shout
All in all a great Monday lunch

We went as a group of 10 to try out this bar and the food was really great. However, perhaps the table was too big because food was pretty slow and a bit inconsistent but nice overall. The cake was pretty authentic according to my venezuelan friends but be warned, it is quite sweet! Overall, we really like what they are serving up here. Will come back and try more.

We stopped by for a quick drink and bite to eat. We really enjoyed the arepas,  cachapas and morcilla we ate - it would have been nice to try some more things from the creative menu they have but we had to keep some room for dinner. Friendly service, tasteful decor inside and a nice spot out on the laneway in front. 

My only suggestion would be that it would be great to have some Latin American beer on the menu to enjoy it with. 

A must try for any Perth foodie!

Partner and I both had the Cachapa's tower, it was a fantastic twist on my favourite breaky. The corn pancakes were lovely and sweet, soaked up the maple syrup really well! It was the first time I've had plantain, but I've had fried banana many times, thought it was quite nice although it seemed to be a little over caramelised, it was a beautiful golden brown on the outside, but some bits of sugar were so burnt they stuck to the back of my teeth, and the middle wasn't as soft as I would have liked. Lastly, we were promised crispy bacon and it was hardly that.

Overall a really nice meal and it was quite refreshing to have Venezuelan food, and it was all gluten free!

Visited Angel Falls at noon today. The place was packed with people but the staff quickly showed us to a nice table outside with lovely and friendly service. We ordered the asado negro and the cachapas (vegetarian), both dishes were so delicious and we cleared the plate! The server recommended the vegetarian dish and it was such a good choice we loved it! Thank you so much for having us today and we would definitely be coming back to try more things from the menu.

Fabulous Sunday friendly efficient service right from the minute we walked in. Nice size eatery big enough to have that buzz but not too big to seem impersonal. Menu plenty of options for all tastes and appetites. Commenced with Empanadas share plates for the group - shredded beef stand out for taste. Bout group then sampled a number of different dishes, the Asado Cachapas was the most popular. So big and filling not a dish for a small eater. The Cachapas is a sweetened pancake made from sweet corn so light and fluffy with filling a Venezuelan black stew, tender and flavoursome. The AFG Parrilla was a great plate opportunity to taste a few different food groups including smoked rump, grilled free range chicken tenders, chorizo and yuca chips, with side of black beans and rice. Recommend this great spot for something a little different!

We ordered the mini mix first as the staff recommended it to taste the arepas and capachas. The arepas were nice and crispy and topped with lovely shredded meat, but I personally preferred the capachas. We ordered the Asado and Greenie capachas with a side of ripe plaintain. The plaintain was so sweet and was grilled to perfection. The greenie capachas was nice and flavoursome, and felt and tasted so fresh and light. The capachas was sweet and complemented the feta and avocado. The Asado had a nice capachas, but the meat inside was too tough and chewy.

It was a very cheap meal and excellent service! For dessert I ordered the Tres Leches (3 milk) cake for $10. When it came I was shocked at how big it was! It was enough for two people to share. It was very tasty and sweet, I could really taste the condensed milk and cream shining through.

We had a table of 8 for dinner on a Friday for my hubby's birthday. I emailed the restaurant beforehand and asked them if they could please bring out a slice of their famous milk cake with a candle which they gladly did (and the cake was yummy!!) The restaurant is very small and cosy. There are a few alfresco tables but once the rain started the doors were closed so it was very cosy! But that was ok as we had a few drinks by then so we enjoyed the atmosphere with the man singing and playing his guitar and patrons having a dance. Something different to your normal everyday restaurant. It was a nice change. The staff are really nice and accommodating. Our cocktails were quite slow in coming out but our food orders were pretty prompt and I enjoyed my mini mix arepa's and my main canaima cachapa. The food is good value and tasty. We definitely want to return one day and try more from the menu. Plus more milk cake!

Recently, we were invited to try Angel Falls Grill which is Perth’s first Venezuelan restaurant located in the heart of Perth CBD at Shafto Lane. Angel Falls have an extensive menu with exotic Venezuelan dishes such as arepas, cachapas, empanadas which are corn based and gluten free and not forgetting cuts of slow cooked meats. Angel Falls was born from Gilda and Sergio’s passion in Venezuelan food which started from their food stall in street markets in Maylands, Mount Hawthorn and Subiaco.

We came in here on a weekend while looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. The restaurant is nice and cozy inside, and two of the staff in particular were extremely friendly. More about this at the end.

The food itself was charming and different. You know when you eat food that you can tell that someone just really cared about making? That's the food I ate here. 

I had the Mr Benedict and my partner had something else off the breakfast menu that I forget, plus a cappuccino each for a total of $42 which is very reasonable.

Every bite of my breakfast was delicious. I do not enjoy the current trend towards serving extremely runny poached eggs, which is what they do, but overall I could forgive it. The cappuccino were tasty but were only warm; either they didn't heat the cups first or did not have it at the right temperature. Overall though we left satisfied and happy.

I returned a few days later to try the breakfast again but this time asked for soft eggs instead of runny eggs. Unfortunately I received the same eggs, showing that they aren't able to control their egg consistency, which is a shame. The next time I had scrambled eggs and they left part of the shell in.

I took off a star for this.

... Since Angel Falls is a specialised in Venezuelan grill meat, everyone at our table decided to try the Tepuy Degustation. We chose this simply because it sounded more exotic than the Big Grill (hahaha). Tepuy Degustation came with 450gr of all cuts of beef which are Lomito (tenderloin), Punta (rump), Solomo served together with morcilla (blood sausage), chorizo, ripe plantain, mini arepas (yes, the more the merrier), congri (rice and black beans) and guasacaca (avocado salsa) sauce. Phew, it was a very good introduction to Venezuelan grilled meats!

On a cold winter’s day I was happy to head into the warm inviting atmosphere of Angel Falls Grill for breakfast. I started with a drink of papelon, which is like a lemonade, made with organic sugar. It’s really refreshing, not at all acidic or sweet, and tasty. For breakfast, I chose the empanada degustation which presents 4 mini empanadas filled with a different fillings (or you can have them filled with one filling). Empanadas are made out of corn, a pastry pocket of sorts, holding a variety of fillings, then deep fried. The pastry is light and the first empanada of shredded beef is very tender and tasty. I particularly liked the shredded chicken and bacon filling which was very flavoursome and delicious. The third empanada was much more milder, tender shredded beef and black beans presenting a mild hearty filling. For lovers of cheese like me, the fourth empanada has gooey cheese oozing out and is delightful. The empanadas also come with a choice of sauce so I got the Venezulean chilli kick sauce to dip the empanadas in. Maybe too much of a chilli kick first thing in the morning! Though really delicious. I was certainly sipping on the papelon and water to cool the buzz of the chilli. A different type of breakfast to start the day but I was more than satisfied.

Being the first Venezuelan restaurant in Perth, the menu brings items not seen before at other restaurants. I thought I’d give the grilled meats a go as ‘grill’ is in the restaurant name. The AFG Parrilla presents lots of variety which most apealled to me so this was an easy choice and gives me a good idea of the type of food served and their execution. The Venezuelan version of chorizo doesn’t have the same paprika intensity as the Spanish variety, though this sausage happened to be a tad over salted. Despite that, the flavour is good and the chorizo is nicely cooked. I love the flavour the grill has imparted on the tender rump cap and porterhouse steaks. I was asked how I wanted my meat cooked and they delivered with two tender medium rare slices that were delicious and seasoned well. I thought the meat needed a sauce so the guasacaca, an avocado based sauce akin to guacamole, is a good match which brings moistness and freshness, though is a little unusual when paired with meat. However, it pairs exceptionally well with the grilled chicken making each bite that much better. One does have the option of ordering different salsas from the menu so the Venezuelan chilli kick would be my choice. Other Latin American cuisines have chimmi churri though I’m not sure if this is made in Venezuela too. The congri (rice, bacon and black bean mix) is very wintery. The soft rice grains with the soft black beans add lots of body to a dish dominated by meat. There’s only three yuca chips but it’s more than enough as each one is quite filling. I like the crunchy outer and soft, slightly starchy, yuca filling. They’re a bit like potato chips but different. I think yuca chips are really good though. I walked in hungry but left very full and satisfied. The interior is rustic and relaxed and the service very warm and friendly. I’m keen to try the other menu items so will be back to eat more Venezuelan cuisine.

Back again! Third time, this time for breakfast. We went for the Cachapas Tower, Mr Benedict, The Big Perico and the AFG Pabellon. Mr Benedict was the smallest of the four, and the Tower was epic (I managed just over half). Everyone was very happy with their dishes, one of the party stating it was possibly their new favourite breakfast place in the CBD! The maple syrup made my heart stop, it actually made me feel like I was in Canada! The chai is now my number one chai ever. Coffees were described as ok (although eaters haven't described coffees as anything other than ok for a while!). Split billing accepted. Nice spot under the heater. Will be back. 

Great addition to Shaft Lane! I didn't try many dishes so am looking forward to coming back and doing so, and sampling their dessert menu. But based on a Captain Hairy arepa and a Pabellon chachapa , the food was yummy and a great introduction to Venezuelan cuisine. Service was also lovely. As for the decor, outstanding. Warm and inviting feel with all the wood and the feature light pendants above the bar. Side note, the Captain Hairy was a little dry in comparison to the Pabellon.

Last night was my first try of Venezuelan food and I'm hooked.

Not having any idea of what we were getting into, my group let the waitress decide for us. Starting with a selection of tasting plates (chorizo, plantain, pulled pork) which were very tasty and filling we progressed to three mains to share, again all very delicious. We all finished our night more than satisfied with the experience, from portion size to taste .. all great!

Can't finish this review without thanking our waitress, she was helpful, attentive and cheerful. Everything you want.  Oh, before I forget, don't forget to try the cocktails!

Great food and excellent service at a pretty good price. In particular, the small share plates are delicious and excellent value. Will definitely be back.

A very welcome change in cuisine to the CBD! I had never tried Venezuelan food before so this was pretty exciting and it didn't disappoint. Everything was yummy and filling. The Cachapas (sweet corn pancake) is crispy and very tasty. I could munch on the Arepas all day if they weren't so filling. The traditional sour cream and avocado salsas were smooth and creamy.
It's absolutely packed at lunch so book a table! But the staff are so sweet and determined to make sure you have a lovely meal. It's a bit squishy though - would be great if they get enough business to expand!

Delicious, authentic Venezuelan food! Popped in for lunch - cachapas and a cold beer- perfection! Great rustic vibe; Shafto lane feels rejuvenated at the moment. Can't wait to get back here for dinner and try out their meats :)

Amazing food, great drinks menu in a cozy and welcoming environment. I highly recommend a cold Malta as it is a quintessential part of every traditional meal. A slice of Venezuela right in the middle of Perth.
