Neighborhood gem

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.

Such a great experience. Everything we ate was delicious and service was amazing. Also learned 99% of their juices are fresh fruit. I had the pineapple. Can’t wait to go back. Oh and may have to eat gluten free, and the best part is everything they serve is GF and delicious.
