Very cosy restaurant, but after we sat down they took an inordinate amount of time to take our appetiser order. As it is BYOB they asked us over and over if we were having wine and immediately walked away despite us saying we will order appetisers though.
Food was excellent, service throughout the meal was great. Then at the end and bear in mind there were five of us and the food was heavy so we needed a little time to allow our food to digest. However, at the end as we ate our desserts the check was placed on the table and within a minute a waiter picked it up to see if we had paid, then another waiter did the same and another. We had to hide it away until we had finished eating. Then after we had paid we needed to sit a little to let the food digest when the wait staff shooed us out of the restaurant and told us we had to leave so they could seat other patrons.
I found that to be extremely rude and if they have a time constraint they need to be efficient from the moment a customer walks in the door. We had three courses we spent a decent amount we should be given the extra five or ten minutes regardless and make their apologies to the patrons coming in. I've had that done to me many a time before we. I've had to wait for a table due to people needing time and as long as I know I'm going to have a great time I don't mind waiting. If we had only had coffee and dessert and we're taking up a table I could understand more. It left a bad taste in our mouths and we will think long and hard before stepping foot in there again, hence the three stars!

Arrived 830 on a Tuesday night (hours are posted as open till 930), yet they rushed us ..dropped check as in a diner without offering dessert or coffee. Servers were inexperienced and impolite. Chicken, in a stroganoff was super dry, pork overcooked as well. The "match stick" potatoes sound yum, but they are from a can, not "home made." Great ambiance, but the service and food brought experience to less than 1. Loved the music tho.

Great cozy place with excellent food! Lots of options, which are reasonably priced for Montclair. There are a few outdoor seats which are just awesome on a mild summer day! Waiter was friendly, polite and attentive. All around great choice. We can't wait to come back and try dinner!

Everything here is so good! Highly recommend to anyone. Try their juices - the pineapple mint was my favorite. The acorn squash soup is delicious. Overall, one of the best restaurants I've visited in Montclair.

I never leave reviews, but I must say my experience at samba was delightful! The food was perfect, and left me feeling happy and full :) but on top of that the service was exceptional, Chris was attentive and helpful when I couldn't decide between dishes. I'll be back soon ☺️
