Welcome to Samba Brazilian Kitchen!

We're more than just a restaurant—we're a place where family, friends, and community come together to celebrate life through authentic Brazilian flavors and warm hospitality, right here in Gainesville.

Our story began during the pandemic, when three neighborhood families, all close friends from Brazil, formed a small support group we affectionately called "The Bubble." It was a time when connection meant everything. With regular safety precautions, we gathered weekly to lift each other’s spirits and stay grounded by doing what we do best—sharing the vibrant, comforting food of our home country.

What started as a way to cope during challenging times blossomed into something more: a desire to bring the same sense of togetherness and joy to our wider community. At Samba Brazilian Kitchen, we invite you to become part of “The Bubble” and experience the heart and soul of Brazil through our food, laughter, and the warmth of friendship.

Come join us—where every meal is a celebration!
