Is the sentence correct in informal English?

I'll have the same as what the girl sitting across from me just ordered.

Thanks a lot for answering. Could you please tell me what "across from me" means? Is it similar to next to me?

Clive · Answer

I would simply say 'I'll have the same.'

But I would always, always add 'please'.

If you look straight ahead, you will see the person's face.
They are sitting across the table from you.
