    Good food overall, but black beans can be improved significantly... It was too hot watery.. Also they could offer "farofa" (cocked with onions, bacon, etc.) instead of raw farinha

    The best traditional brazilian restaurant in Amsterdam, the space is small but very cozy, really looks like a brazilian place: simple but great energy.

    Only Churrasco restaurant in Amsterdam lived up to the expectations. Picanha, Flank steak & the unlimited salad/sides bar were the highlights!

    9.5/10

    Delicious food and friendly staff. However, I suggest to keep a bit more ventilate that place. Together with the hot food and a narrow place it feels a bit hot. I suggest to have maybe some fans. Just an idea to keep inside fresh

    You should make a reservation at another restaurant before coming here. Even with a reservation, they didn't let us sit at one of the empty tables, making excuses that those tables were reserved. It's funny because we also had a reservation. Afterwards, they came up with various excuses to make us leave and the staff member at the bar was extremely rude. If you want to experience this kind of behavior, this is the right place. Otherwise, there are dozens of places where you can receive much better service.

    Me and my cousin had diner tonight. When we came in there was a couple with 3 dogs in the restaurant... Though i am a dog owners as well i dont believe pets should be inside a restaurant.. outside ok inside not... Later there was another couple with. Poodle on their lap and while the waiter was cutting the meat the dog was so close to the meat. I was glad that they served us first cuz that was just not appetizing to look at. That was our only ick. Further more the service was great the men were very handsome😊 and polite The food was delicious they sure know how to grill. The Caprinha 0,0 was very delicious and so was the desert shot😍 It was a nice evening

    Was a great experience and the food was done well. Sometimes it was a bit well done but that's expected at times. The ribeye was delicious

    Samba Kitchen is a slice of Brazil in your backyard, where the vibrant vibes and aromatic Brazilian dishes create a standout dining experience. The Feijoada was a highlight, with its rich flavors and perfect accompaniments. What really shone through was the exceptional staff, who were not just responsive but truly passionate about their culture. Pairing the meal with a zesty Caipirinha completed the experience. If you're looking for a lively and delicious escape, Samba Kitchen delivers with flair.

    Famiky of 3 (14 year daughter whos birthday treat this was) Staff were friendly and attentive, but the quality of the BBQ meats really this place down. Salad buffet was good, nice selection of salads, 'stews' and potatoes, but that's not the main reason for visiting a Brizilian BBQ house! The first meats to come out were sausage. This was about the quality of those little chipolatas you get in Baked Beans.... Next up was chicken wings...very little chicken on them, but the flavour was fine. Next up, more sausage, then more chicken. Finally the beef arrived, apparently it was Ribeye. Served in chucks straight off the skewer this was totally Blue in the middle and very tough. The outside was seasoned nicely .though. Then more chicken wings and more sausage. Garlic ribeye was next, again served in chunks. Seasoned well again, and not blue this time but still very tough, even hard to cut with a sharp steak knife! After another round of sausage and chicken a joint of 'Roast beef' was offered as slices. Cooked much better and was fairly tender. This was the serving of the night! At the end a creme catalan type dessert was brought round and offered direct to the table. Very nice, but the finding the extra charge on the bill at thr end was very sneaky and misleading. Overall I'm afraid the main event, the beef, is what let this restaurant down. Too much in the way of 'filler' meats and low quality beef. We didn't think it value for money and probably won't return.

    Amazing restaurant. Highly recommended. Food is delicious and service is friendly as it can be for the Brazilian style. Typical Brazilian Caipirinha is one of the best I have ever tried (and I am Brazilian). Just be careful if you are in a big group (more than 10), because the space is not that large. Prices are affordable and I would say quite cheap for the quality of the food they serve!! If you want to have a great Brazilian Barbecue (churrasco), make sure to check in this great place.
