Sama Sama Kitchen is a delightful gem tucked away in Santa Barbara! 🌿 I visited for dinner and was immediately struck by the trendy yet casual atmosphere. We started with their delectable small plates - especially the crispy spring rolls, which were bursting with flavor.
The fast service was impressive, and I appreciated the range of drink options, including refreshing cocktails and local beers. The highlight was the rendang beef, tender and rich in spices!
With outdoor seating and wheelchair accessibility, it’s perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area! 🍽️✨
