He definitely will never see me and none of my friends there again. So, the owner lied to us so that he would earn more 4 paying persons that evening. I told the shift story and he assured me that there is no such thing there. ![]() ![]() Last week a friend of mine was there and he told me that. We realized that there were people waiting for a table and as the rest of the restaurant was filled up with big groups, with more than 7 on a table, he thought to get rid of us. I showed my email reservation and also there was nothing about shifts. We were surprised as there was never shifts in samba kitchen, but is was a new owner, so we checked the website to see if that was informed somewhere. Around nine pm the owner came to my group (4 people) and told us we had to leave in half an hour due to the end of the shift. I made a reservation via email for seven pm. However, since the owner has changed things are not as they used to be. I used to go often to Samba Kitchen and the food is good over there. ![]()
