Samba Brazil in Lincoln

1st time visiting Lincoln and it was my husband's birthday, he is Brazilian and this restaurant had been on our list to visit. It did not disappoint, the meat was cooked to perfection and delicious. We were treated very well and had a lovely meal.

We walked in and the atmosphere was understated, yet upbeat. We were greeted by the service staff and explained how the menu worked with the meat ordering options. I would recommend the Rodizio. Delcio, the chef, personally brought the meats to our table he was very enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed his job. The meats were varied and each had their own exceptional flavour. Delcio came round like clockwork delivering freshly cooked meat and was very generous and kind. This was our first time eating here- we would recommend and will come again!

Great food and atmosphere. The bartender was lovely and the sangria was amazing!

this is our second time coming to this amazing restaurant!!! The staff are so friendly and accommodating. our food can quickly . Delicio and Edwardo were our chefs and servers. we got the unlimited meat meal for 29.99. comes with rice chips and salad. we also ordered the Brazilian pizza with jalapeño and pineapple, It was delicious! and the kids chicken nuggets were very good. we also ordered a picture of the sangria. It was delicious.⭐️ We were served pineapple grilled. It was delicious and we were told. It helps with digestion, and we all felt better after eating. The pineapple was very refreshing. !!! we love this place and look forward to coming again soon.

Having been previously, we booked a table for my birthday. Lots of the tables were waiting to be cleaned, only 3 staff that we could see serving, one was the barman,We ordered our drinks, we waited,and waited, asked 3 times where our drinks were, only to be told the draught beer wasn't on, so we ordered some bottled beer, they came back to say that also wasn't available, so we opted for another and was brought cans of carlsberg, from a multipack, that stated £6.25 for 4 cans, only to be charged over £5per can! Out food arrived before our drinks. 3 of the party had unlimited rodizio, which is no longer unlimited? Their chips/rice/salad was not replenished, my husband had to ask for more meat and went away hungry. We queried the bill, expressed dissatisfaction, the waiter called the manager twice for us to ask for discount due to the poor service, (waiting time and unavailable drinks) to be told he could only give us £6 off our bill ( we paid £160). We paid, expressed our dissatisfaction. The waiter and waitress did their best in a poor situation. We will not be going there again, I will tell everyone how poor it was. The management need to learn some customer skills. This was the start of a bank holiday weekend.

Amazing restaurant always very pleasant and has a fantastic atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food is amazing! Could perhaps do with a little more variety, expecially with dessert, but there's enough choice for everyone. Highly recommend!

1 friendly staff member, the others were ignoring us. The toilets were a disgrace even no running water in one cubicle to wash your hands, the one poor friendly staff member was try ing to mop floors and get the cubicles in a sanitary condition. Food was nice but we had to prompt the ignorant female staff member to get the meat started as one of our party had the 14 meat option. It was my partners birthday hence why we dined there i told the ignorant staff member could they do something for him she said what can I do not my problem seriously rude. Food was ok but will never go back again

Best value for money out of any restaurant I’ve been to, very very tasty food and excellent service. Would rate 6 stars if possible. Be sure to visit!

Absolutely delicious! The Rodizio Corrido is excellent value for money, with 8 huge cuts of delicious meat and French fries. I was served by Edward who was polite and friendly and who looked after me well. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere, and is ideal for groups or couples. Try something different!

I am appalled. I recently visited Samba Brazil and had an absolutely terrible experience. I ordered the soy vegetable skewers, but instead received a completely different meal that was a disgrace. What I got was a plate with store-bought oven chips, a large amount of sad coleslaw, a single leaf of lettuce, and some awful, raw, likely air-fried halloumi chunks that were inedible. For reference I am a uni student so this was going to be a treat and furthermore I know what air fried food looks like!! To make matters worse, the service was horrendous. No one came to check on us throughout the meal, never asking if we needed more drinks or how the food was. I ended up waiting 15 minutes longer than the rest of my party for the worst meal I've ever had. When I raised this with the waitress and asked for a discount, she said she'd speak to her manager, but because I had eaten most of my meal, I wasn't eligible for any discount. Had she come to check on me earlier, I would have pointed out the issue immediately, but instead, I ended up sharing my inedible halloumi with others at the table to show them how bad it was, I ate my chips and coleslaw, because in my opinion understandably I was hungry and had waited 50 mins for my food compared to the 35 mins of the rest of my party. By the time I received my food some of my party were pretty much finished. I ended spending £16 on my main meal and £8 on a mojito. (Photo reference at the bottom) I also learned that the reason my skewers had no vegetables was because "not enough people order them," so they don't bother ordering in the ingredients. When I asked to speak to the manager, the waitress had no idea when they would be around. I will never return to Samba Brazil, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If I could give it a 0/5, I would. Avoid at all costs

Big portions of very tasty food and friendly staff!

Amazing food had the shared mixed grill wirh belly pork ,steak, chicken on the bone pork chop ribs 2 of each some 3 like the steak and belly pork and just added onion rings and garlic bread was plenty for two and dessert was amazing as came with rice salad and chips would 100 % visit again and bring family even the chef asked of all was okay and it was great.

Love, love, love this restaurant. Service is always quick and efficient. Food is amazing!!!

Great service provided by Delcio....thank you very much

Went for a family birthday meal. It was early and a Thurs so not many in. Which we liked. Not a lot of choice on the menu. But what we all had was beautifully cooked. Plus plates were full. We enjoyed it so much we are going ag.

Tried as not been before. And will definitely not go again. Food was very bland and underwhelming. Brazilian sausages were horrible, I found a big gristly bit which completely put me off the rest. Only a handful of people dining which says it all really for peak time on a Saturday evening. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful but the manager didn't even bother to acknowledge us, poor customer service for someone who is in hospitality. Don't waste your money. Drinks were nice though!

Amazing food, service. We went as a family of 4. Kids had cocktails each, we had 3 cocktails each and unlimited meats. So £130 for a birthday meal for 4 was good value in my opinion. Especially if you’re having margaritas. Meat was very good quality.

Excellent food with a very professional and pleasant experience. It was my second time on this restaurant, but I will come back more times for sure. Thanks for everything!

Christmas party here, food comes out thick and fast, be ready to be in a meat Coma before you leave😁 lovely food great location, will 100% be coming back 🙏

⛔️⛔️⛔️NOT PROFESSIONAL SERVICE!!! ORDER TABLE AT 17:00 BUT JUST RESTORANTE OPENED AT 17:30 AND WAITED FOR FOOD 1 HOUR!!! 😡⛔️⛔️⛔️ NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL 📛📛📛❌❌❌

The atmosphere and service are impeccable. The food is tasty, but it is very adapted to the British palate, lacking salt and seasoning. And as a true Minas Gerais native, ordering a collard green (it was described exactly as such on the menu) and getting that disguised chard is very disappointing.

This restaurant is our absolute favourite. Food is always fantastic and the staff are friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend a visit to any meat lover.

Service was very slow at first (waited ages for drinks) but got better as the night went on. Food was good some of it could be better quality. Lamb was very grissly.

Not exactly Brazilian food. Just a pale imitation.

Had a family meal for 12 food was bang on

Great service. FANTASTIC food. Worth every penny and somewhere a bit different to the norm. If you are in Lincoln, definitely one to visit!

Was given the 1-8 rodizio, Queried!! Ordered and Charged for deluxe 1-16 Medium and medium rare cooking ignored Red green system non existent Cold low quality food No atmosphere this Wednesday. Beer okay.

For those who like to be deceived, it's a good place. Poor quality meat, cold, my husband and I ordered the deluxe menu. They didn't respect the red light. The only good thing was the beer.

Food is brilliant and the staff are incredibly attentive and just great, they really make the experience too. Prices are great, especially the mixed grill and all you can eat meat, everything is cooked to perfection and tastes unreal. Cannot recommend this place enough! Obrigado! Update since visited again - still just as good, maybe even better!

The place is nice and the service is good too, but if you go there expecting to eat something that brings back memories of Brazil, you won't find it, it seems made for English.

Nice place, we had the tropical bbq to share and some skewers. The tropical bbq were a big plate of mix bbq meats (pork rips, steak, chicken wings, sausage, port belly etc) and fruit (banana, strawberry, pineapple, watermelon, grapes) which were interesting, nice staff and reasonable price

Wonderful staff. I think we suffered slightly coming in on a Tuesday daytime. Would recommend, but maybe on a livlier day!

What a phenomenal experience. Super friendly staff, and amazing food at more than fair prices. This is definitely a place you'll be returning to after your first visit.

Lovely restaurant! Food was great; very polite and quick service. Will definitely come back.

Best Brazilian food in Lincolnshire so far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ love it

Nice place to eat, the food was good but I didn't like the Brazilian sausages.

Went for lunch on my way back to London after my son graduation. Excellent,

We had a work event here on a Friday night Kamilla & Pedro looked after us, there was 16 of us and no one could fault anything. Food was fresh, hot and frequent. We had so many requests for them and they were outstanding! We travelled from all over the UK as team and they made us feel like Royality. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend

The best restaurant in all of Lincoln! It's always a pleasure to go to Samba Brazil. The food is sensational, the caipirinhas are top-notch, and the service is fantastic. Délcio served us so well that we want to come back just for him. And the meats... there's no better place to eat in the entire city. And you can trust me on this, because I'm Brazilian! 5 stars! :)

A good example of a Brazilian restaurant. Service is consistent and thoughtful, with expert knowledge to hand if required. The portions are decent and tasty, with various sides and sauces to suit all preferences. Special thanks to Vy for treating me like family

The meat cuts kept coming. The fries were both crispy and fluffy - not greasy. The customer service was a huge win

They are always very welcoming. We go there once in a while. Food is amazing and the cocktails are to die for!!! The waitresses are lovely and the passadores are great.

Authentic Brazilian food next to Brayford Pool. We ordered the Mixed Grill, which was very good, though it turned out to be too much meat for us. Nice location. Good service.

Brilliant!! The food just kept coming, had to loosen my belt

First time visiting this restaurant ,but definitely not the last , our waiter was super helpful with info on all dishes ,food was plentiful and delicious and very good value for money , great find

We had an amazing time at Samba Brazil today! Delson was our waiter and he was brilliant! Eduardo’s food was amazing and reminded me so much of home! Definitely coming back!!

Amazing one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The staff are brilliant so kind and always making sure you are alright. But the star is the food it's delicious, and the portion sizes are huge. I had the banquet and the meat just kept coming and you can have as many sides as you want. Highly recommend please go I wish I lived in Lincoln I would visit every week.

Great Brazilian food, great caipirinhas and great service. The people are super nice 🙂 muito obrigada!

Incredible experience the meat was on POINT.

Called in for a cold drink on a warm day, sat outside and chilled out, great service, great value, great views of brayford pool

I would give them more than 5 star if I could. Carmela and Philo were absolutely fantastic. It was might wife’s birthday and they brought her a cake, sang her a birthday son even without me asking. So so thoughtful of them. Made my wife so happy. The food is great and mouth watering too. Great value for money

Excellent food! Very good service by all staff! Strong recommend!

Food was outstanding, Great service, We’ve been a couple of time now and have recommended to friends and family. Will definitely be going back

Loads of meat on a platter, big barbequed food, served with rice, chips, tropical fruit. All meat cooked properly Service was spot on Cocktail was lovely

Friendly enough service but our food was served cold, had to ask for it to be heated up properly. Even then it wasn’t great, looked & tasted cheap. Maybe should have gone for the meat cuts instead of pizza, disappointing meal

Came here during a business trip on recommendation and glad we did. Service was great and attentive. The food was also really good! I got the Pichana steak which reads as slices of rump and but it was more like 4 steaks! The sides are also large and decent, recommend the sweet potato fries.

We came here early evening on a saturday BH weekend , the food was OK, plenty of it but it didn't set the world alight, service OK(but seemed understaffed) , cocktails were great !! . Overall ,having been to a few other Brazilian restaurants I'd give it another go but at the same time I wouldn't rush back.

Especially suitable for meat menus. Small stomachs, refrain. The service is impeccable and the pieces served are quite large and juicy. Brazilian ambient music

If you want a family like environment then come here. The second I came in I got a warm welcome and then throughout the male was made to feel valued as a customer 100% will come again

Really nice food and staff were brilliant.

Lovely place to eat. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely fantastic 👌 thank you would definitely recommend 😀

A fabulous eating experience, not to be missed! Well done to the chefs, servers and waiting staff. Food and service was spectacular!

Great food. Quick service. Friendly atmosphere. Would come again.

Excellent food and really nice friendly staff. Great selection of meat. Very highly recommended. A true Rodizio

Amazing!!! Best Ridizzio ever!! Great and friendly staff, delicious food, lovely Caipirinha!! What an experience!!! Highly recommended

Didn't get 14 different types of meat more like 7.Son had ribs said probs best he's had. I went for chicken skewer and Brazilian sausage very nice. All sides excellent👍

Fantastic family meal for party of 13, food was excellent. Great atmosphere and loved their birthday singing for our nephews 21st.

Popped in for lunch, they had a lunch menu which was really reasonable and really tasty (less than £10 a head for the food). Friendly staff, will definitely be back

Great food Kids friendly Guaraná What else do you need, definitely recommend this place, there is only 1 issue is that you can't walk after eating so much delicious food 😆😆.

Perfect service, Pedro and Eduardo are super attentive, helpful, and charismatic, I loved being here!! Very very goooood

Fabulous food! The all you can eat deluxe is fantastic

Had an absolutely amazing time at this restaurant. The meat was high quality and cooked to perfection! The staff where really friendly, special mention to Edwardo who ensured we had food at all time's!

Beautiful and wonderful food.... Amazing space to enjoy with feiéb

We had a lovely meal as a family to celebrate our brothers anniversary and we had rodizio deluxe. Food is very good with a good variety and flavour and sides were tasty and warm. A must for any meat lovers. However the best part of our evening was being served by Eduardo that made sure we had a great experience. He took very good care of us and was very attentive, kept the food coming and made sure we had the full experience. Eduardo really made our evening much better! An amazing server, Thank you Eduardo and Samba Brazil!

Thank you for the amazing service! A special thank you to attentive Eduardo!

Eduardo was the best. Always making sure that we were happy with food!

Samba Brazil was an excellent dining experience both times we have been in the last couple of months. Atmosphere is relaxed, staff are friendly and charismatic and the food is lovely. We visited as a large group and as a family and both experiences are faultless. Will be visiting again in the near future 🙂

Excellent food and staff. They always go the extra mile to make customers happy. Duarte is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend 👌

The service is 1000, the food is 1000, the service was super wonderful, the blond attendant with the green eyes, I believe he is Portuguese, he is also very polite and Eduardo is also super polite, I also recommend this restaurant, he had courtesy from the house and that leaves an open door for me to return with my friends, thank you 🙏

It really is a charming place, the staff have incomparable education and service, especially Mr. Eduardo who served us cuts of meat with an incredible flavor, I recommend it with my eyes closed, it was the best experience I've ever had in Lincoln and I'll be back again soon

Really enjoyable night out with a great atmosphere. Attentive service and meat to die for. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beer on draft was excellent as well. Getting very rare to have a good meal out these days, so very much appreciated. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you Samba Brazil.

Superb food, excellent hosts and nice venue

Place is lovely, staff are all friendly and the food is amazing 👏

The food was worth the price and the staff were lovely!

Visited for my anniversary. Quick service and food was amazing. Reccomand the cheese dough balls

This was our 3rd visit to Samba Brazil. The food and service is excellent, can't wait to return!

Great place with amazing food and excellent staff.

We went for my 9th birthday today as I really fancied steak. We ordered the unlimited 14 meats and sides and it was one of the best food experiences in my life! The service was amazing they made sure we had everything and they came to our table cut us meat - it was superior. The place was nicely set out and all the food came quickly as well, I have nothing more to say, it was just the best! Then at the end they surprised me with singing happy birthday and a slice of cake. Really enjoyed the whole, entire experience. Thank you.

Visited today for my son's 9th birthday. He choose the venue as he really wanted steak. One of the best experiences I've had. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was gorgeous and quick - we had the Rodizio. Setting was superb, you can see the waterfront outside. They checked if everything was okay and if we wanted anything else, really attentive. At the end, they surprised my son with a birthday song and cake - which was a lovely touch. Thank you guys! Will definitely visit again.

It’s my favourite place in Lincoln. Not only the food and drinks are amazing but the staff is absolutely fantastic! The kitchen staff are super caring and sometimes come out on the floor to make sure guests are happy. They are accommodating to your needs and super friendly. Well done guys! Keep up the good work 👏🏼

We had a really enjoyable meal here. We did the 8 cuts of meat. Chicken wings were amazing. Meat cuts all good quality. Some chose pork and lamb but all the same cuts were brought so for the people not eating Pork they couldn’t really eat those and vice versa. But no matter cos we were all very full anyway. Very generous portion of chips included. Coffee we found too weak but good size. Lovely servers. Recommend for a lovely relaxed meal with family and friends. They don’t rush you.

I do visit every week with my wife. Its good to be well served, looked after and have a great meal. Prices are really good and portions are amazingly well served. The place is beautiful and have such an beautiful environment.

Food is great 👍.. The food is very good... 😉 👍

When they say, unlimited, they mean it. Great food, especially the meat.

Nice place & staff… best pina colada ive ever had & ive had a few

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.

5 stars aren't enough. Absolutley loved it, great staff, amazing food all cooked to perfection and tasty!! 10 out of 10, would scran again!!
