About
Here at Samba Brazil we specialize in the famous churrascaria (BBQ) style of restaurant that is a favorite in Brazil for both Brazilians and visitors. The idea started in Rio Grande do Sul the southern cattle state of Brazil where the Gaucho live and work. For celebration meal they would cook (BBQ) many different cuts of meats on large skewers over an open fire and then carve the meat at the table.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A really lovely restaurant by the water. The staff were all lovely and the food was fantastic. We loved every minute of it thank you. I would recommend the Brazilian dishes, in particular the Rodizio style Churrascaria. This is meat on skewers, which have been...grilled and the chefs or waiters come round and carve you some. Very tender and tasty. It’s cooking theatre very well done. If you have a smaller appetite the espetinhos are also very nice. Smaller meat on skewers or nice little sausages. The chimichurri was nice too. I would highly recommend this restaurant.More

We went for lunch with friends, having not visited this venue previously. The welcome and service made us feel very at home, and the food was fast in beginning to be served. The extra cuts kept being added to our plates, ensuring we always had...hot and fresh meat to eat. A very pleasant lunch was spent with very good friends.More

Great friendly welcome. Beat Ask next door who ignored me and my daughter. Ordered a margarita pizza.. came 7 minutes after my chicken and pork kebabs. Shame. Pizza amazing. Really good. Kebabs.. very dry but tasty. Healthy... grilled... but dry. Rice and salad great. Although......allergy to cucumber.. and salad came with loads... so had to go back... despite the server telling me they don't use cucumber?!!! The food looked nothing like the pictures in the menu... so worth knowing that! Service was great. Food was good.. although the pizza was the best. Others had sausage and sliced meats... they looked good! One couple had a raw pizza.. sent back and re cooked.. and given free... so good service and attitude. I would come back again.. bit not choose the kebabs. The service and friendly people made this place.More

We went here last weekend for my partners 50th. There was a large group of us, however the service and staff were amazing. The food was great and the staff even did a special happy birthday song with drums for the birthday boy!. They let...us decorate early in the day so everything was ready on arrival. The lady in charge of our table's was amazing making sure we had everything we needed. Great time had by all and was really good value. Will definitely be returning!More

My brother in law treated me to lunch for my birthday. We had such a lovely experience. The food was amazing and tasty.He had the Rodizio Deluxe and they were so good at bringing the food at intervals asking how he wanted his meat was...everything alright. We had skewers beautiful juicy tender meats .The service and attentiveness of Ana and the team were out of this world. They made a wonderful surprise gesture of singing happy birthday to me and giving me cake (what more can a girl want). Honestly get yourself there it is brilliant and more than worth a visit or two. Nice view of the waterfront you.More

The food is fantastic and such an experience with the waiter appearing with different meats whilst you eat. Great value for money. The service was perfect, our waitress was Lisa and she was so attentive, she explained how the service would happen and made sure...we had everything we wanted. The venue is great, the lights on the Brayford Pool and just a short walk from the city centre.More
