Samba Montclair

A Celiac's dream come true! Excellent service, amazing food and every single thing on the menu is GLUTEN FREE! Added bonus, the staff wear the best shirts ever! Update in NJ again and ordered the same dish, still darn good, wouldn't change my review AT All Amazing!

The food and drinks were delicious, the service was great also. Outdoor seating available. I tried the number 18, it was delicious. Two orders (number 18) only came with a small portion of rice beans. Fresh juice was delicious-I had the strawberry mint. Garlic shrimp appetizer was tasty My only complaint is that the table for two was quite small trying to comfortably fit the large dishes, appetizers, drinks was a little challenging. The bread was a little too soft inside as well- almost as if it wasn’t baked all the way though. Tasted fine though.

Where do I start. Came across this gem through the reviews and instantly loved it. The service was impeccable, the staff was all so welcoming and attentive which we loved. The food- appetizers are a must (they have these pastry’s stuffed with meat or cheese and I wish we got more) The skirt steak and truffle fries

Second visited on Mother’s Day. Always amazing. Love my favorite shrimp garlic Brazilian style steak. Kudos to the chefs great services staffs

Had a reservation for 8pm on Friday night. Showed up a little early and was sat immediately. It is pricey, but is on par for other restaurants in Montclair. We got the strawberry and mint juice/smoothie, cheese bread, short rib sliders special, 3 pastries stuffed with beef, chicken, and cheese, and pastry stuffed with king crab. Then we had a steak dish with mashed potatoes and veggies, churros, and the Brazilian truffles. Everything came out hot and perfectly timed in terms of appetizers and then our entrée. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare). The short rib sliders and the churros were probably my personal favorites. And we had leftovers from each course. We will definitely be back again! Side notes: yes they include 20% gratuity as well as 3% credit card fee, so bring cash if you want to save a few bucks. Also, they are BYOB.
