Samantha's Bistro & Grill

Went to this place on a Wednesday afternoon and we were very pleasantly surprised. To start all the staff wore mask when we walked in and the place was clean and setup cute. The waitress that served us was so polite and made sure to wipe down the table prior to us sitting down. Prior to coming to the restaurant we looked at some pictures online and asked if we could get the same drinks and although they were not on the menu ND we Special cocktails they made them for us anyways! We got the strawberry daiquiri and some other mixed fruit drink both we on the sweeter side, but we enjoyed them both. For the entrees I got the Curry chicken which came with a side of rice and salad it was soooooo good the sauce I mixed over the rice and it was heaven. I had nothing left on my plate. We also got the spaghetti bolense...again very tasty with a touch of spice that I truly enjoyed. The portions for the price were very reasonable about $48 to $50. Glad we found this place and took the right chance. Can't wait to visit this pleasant place ...very surprised more people weren't here when we came because the food is yummy! They also have a outdoor space as well. Highly recommend.

This place has the best french fries I've ever tasted. The best thing is the coziness of the place.

Looking for a good venue for your date? You should go here. Zero noise. Good music. It's not so pricey too. I'll recommend 100%

I visited this place for a quick breakfast on a friend's recommendation and I was not disappointed. While making the reservation, I mentioned that I was celebrating a special occasion later that evening and they literally made a small candlelit cake to celebrate with me. I will definitely not forget the experience.

I loved it there!

The food was great. The waitress was super covetous, she had a charming smile and great personality. The ambience was relaxing and you could tell from the furniture arrangements that it's a children friendly restaurant.

I also love the simplicity of the decor down right to the menu (it gave a French restaurant vibe; sorta????). Most importantly, it didn't take long for my food to be served.

I also found Samantha's to be surprisingly affordable (I mean affordable affordable ???? ).

Love the ambience and coziness there. The coffee was really good and the food wasn't bad either. 2 mushrooms on the English breakfast and rather dry waffles were my only complaints.

Great food with vegan options. Service was excellent - the supervisor was very friendly and professional. Fun environment with beautiful decor. The vegan iced coffee and fresh juice were delicious!

Not easy to find via Bolt nor Uber. Thankfully I pulled out my own mapping and configured it's off the road onto a gravel parking lot.

They have outdoor and indoor dining. Feels like a coffee shop in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, but here's what works:
1) drink choices
2) shake options
3) Vegan meals
4) Deal days but no one seems to know about it away from Instagram posts
5) Polite staff. Willing and eager to work
6) Fresh baked goods done in your presence via a glass display a la Cafe DU Monde and plenty other shops in New Orleans, LA.
7) Love flower bouquet on the table
8) Eclectic furniture and design

What must improve:
1) Came for a hamburger. They didn't have beef. Only chicken.
2) No one replied to my Instagram ask if Curry Monday was in effect. Staff didn't know at the actual restaurant
3) Overcooked my TBone steak. I mean there's well done and there's dry and no flavor. I'm glad I asked if sauce came on the beef and got it on the side. It was a sweet and sour sauce type. No thank you on my beef.
4) Cinnamon Rolls were being freshly made. I discerned and asked about it but learned they put sugar on top. I asked if icing was possible. I was told yes. They said it would be ready at departure.
The Cinnamon Rolls were ready before the entrees. Hot dawgggg. Smh
5) Two entrees took more than 52 minutes from order to the table. No mashed potatoes available via Irish potato so I opted over to fries.
6) Prawn and coconut included large size prawns but only two (2). I felt bad because I ate one (1) not knowing my partner only had (1) one remaining.
7) N24k later (water, fanta, TBone + chips and Prawns + Coconut Rice) I can say those fresh cinnamon rolls made a difference but not worth N1,500/each. To add to the injury I asked for icing and got powdered sugar. I then proceeded to show I meant birthday cake icing. But hey language barriers. Idk

All in all I'd happily return to try some curry and a burger at some point. Kinda salty they offered half off burgers the next day via Jumia.
