Samba Brazilian Kitchen — Restaurant in Gainesville

Great Experience at Samba Brazilian Kitchen

I recently visited Samba Brazilian Kitchen and had an outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere transported me to a cozy Brazilian bistro, full of charm and warmth.

For appetizers, I tried the pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) and coxinha (chicken croquettes), both of which were absolutely delicious and bursting with authentic flavor. The star of the meal was the grilled picanha, a perfectly cooked cut of beef that was tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. To finish, the passion fruit mousse was the ideal light and refreshing dessert—a great way to round off the meal.

The staff were incredibly friendly and provided great service, making me feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening. The prices were reasonable, especially given the quality of the food and service.

I highly recommend Samba Brazilian Kitchen to anyone looking to explore the authentic flavors of Brazilian cuisine. Whether you’re new to Brazilian food or a long-time fan, this restaurant offers a true...

I had heard about this restaurant from a coworker. After speaking with two other coworkers that are brazilian, they told me what items from the menu to try. Wife and I got there when they opened, parked, right up front. Now, Google Maps taking you there, it gives you kind of the wrong direction, but i quickly found the front of the building and was able to park right in front of the restaurant. Speaking to whom I presume Is the owner about Google giving me the wrong direction ,He's says that happens a lot We ordered three different appetizers, they all were amazing.My main meal came out just as pictured.It was amazing as well. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is more smaller intimate experience. This restaurant is a small hidden gem. I had no idea they've been in the area for almost a year now. If you are looking for a unique dining experience, I say this is definitely...

Samba is an incredible restaurant with amazing food. The happy hour is a great addition, making it not only delicious but a good deal. The indoor seating is limited but there is plenty of spacious outdoor seating, which was very enjoyable even in the summer due to the shade. The only thing was service was a little slow at the beginning despite only one other party at the restaurant, but the food was so great that it completely made up for it.

The food was the best part. We had two appetizers: pão de queijo and coxinha com catupiry. For entrees we tried Picanha Ao Molho de Queijo and the original Picanha. The steak was so tender. For dessert we had churros de doce de leite. For drinks we tried all flavors of capisake, so so delicious and refreshing, BOGO during happy hour.

I would highly recommend Samba and I will be coming back with my friends and...
