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.

    Love that it is a completely gluten free place. Food is delicious and really great appetizer choices to share. BYOB which is nice but also some delicious non-alcoholic drinks to buy. Always go when I'm in the area.

    It was a perfect place for a girls night out: plenty of food choices and we loved BYOB! The place was vibing and the service was outstanding. 4-star for limited sitting time, as we had to leave earlier that we wanted and skip the dessert.

    Food quality really went down. Pains $42 for a lunch entree of beef stroganoff!!! Mediocre at best.
