Samba

A blast of warmth hits you as soon as you enter Samba Montclair, a tiny Brazilian restaurant in the heart of Montclair. It’s a subtler, enveloping glow: the soothing Latin music, the weathered rustic décor, the low lighting, the young, easygoing staff. That, and the large chalkboard toward the back that offers up bits of homespun wisdom, like “The torch of love is lit in the kitchen.”
