Neighbourhood gem
Charming

Homestyle Brazilian fare served in a stylish, rustic space with antique pots & vintage tableware.

Samba is now the only restaurant certified as a gluten-free restaurant in New Jersey from the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG). @glutendotorg . We are not conforming to a trend. Due to personal experience, gluten
sensitivity is a very serious matter. For the safety of others who are gluten-free, no outside food or cakes will be allowed in the restaurant.

The food was DELICIOUS! The service was AMAZING!!! The ONLY things we did not like were that they texted an hour prior to our reservation time that our table was ready, so we felt very pressured to arrive early, which we didn’t want to do. Also, they add a 20% service charge automatically, which is fine (and we would have tipped 20% anyway!), but then they have the tip options as well at the end of the bill, and they list 18%, 20%, etc., as if the tip was not already included?! We felt deceived by this, which is out of character for the amazingly sweet staff…
