About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Gluten-free-friendly

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.

Decent food, but the ambience and location is amazing. I would go back for the ambience not the food.

Met a friend who has Celiac for lunch on a Saturday and everything was great! The staff were all so welcoming and attentive. I ordered an appetizer before my friend arrived and the host also gave us some cheesy bread to try. It was awesome that she could order anything on the menu - and everything was delicious! Definitely will return - highly recommend!

Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and given the choice of a couple tables for our party of four. The staff is super attentive and friendly! Our entrees were served hot in beautiful earthenware and tasted exquisite! Love the gluten-free and healthy menu!! We will definitely be back to Samba!

This place is unrivaled for food and dining experience. It’s all gluten free and someone in my party had an allergy. I have never seen a more attentive server in my life!! Management is incredible!!!! Ten out of ten!!! Food is delicious! It’s BYO. Check the bill if they add the tip automatically so you don’t get mixed up like me.
