Literally the best shawarma! Had to leave and live in another state for a while and missed Sam’s shawarma so much! So happy to be back and enjoying the amazing lamb & beef shawarma plate! One plate is enough for both lunch and dinner for me!

The lamb shawarma plate is delicious. The meat is tender with some crispy parts and seasoned perfectly. It comes with a good variety of sides like pickled red onions, cucumber/tomato salad, hummus, pita bread and of course rice. In addition to the tatziki they give you a side of garlic sauce which was delicious. $18 but nearly enough food for two meals.

This is a small place which sells middle eastern and Mediterranean food. The place is not very large. However their food is good and their service is quick. Would definitely recommend their sandwiches for a budget option in the Somerville area.

Solid Mediterranean food doused in some good, familiar flavors. Was very happy with the portions of meat (got the combo) and variety of condiments & sides that all came together for a satisfying meal. Would gladly stop by again on a craving.

The chicken kebab and the falafel plate are great. The chicken is cooked well and is traditionally marinated very tasty yet not overwhelmingly salty so you can actually taste the chicken. The falafel plate is always freshly made. Very tasty. You can taste the freshness of the chickpeas and the tahini is great as well . The Lebanese pickles are also great very tasty. The staff is very polite and great to order from. One of the best kebab plates in town

I like sams falafel . My go to resturant when I need greek food . Its located in highland Avenue of somerville. Its just next to dumpling kitchen . I usually order a takeout but when am too busy I use one of the delivery apps available so I can get it delivered. I highly recommend for people visiting the Boston area to try them out .

I ordered the Lamb and Beef shawarma with fries for delivery, and I wasn’t disappointed with the quality or the portion. It’s definitely enough for at least two meals, the fries were thick cut but still pretty crispy, the meat was tender and not overly salty. I had hoped for more pickled veggies but I enjoyed what was there. Definitely worth the price!

The Syrian old man was very hostile and rude, he assumed i was flirting with his wife and began threatening me, speaking loudly, and telling me how rude i was to ask his nationality, he said it’s “Insulting to be called Pakistanian or indian” then i asked for refund and he said he never wants to see me again, i said the same to him, then he starts screaming his lungs telling me to get out of his cafe, threatening with physical violence. Absolutely sick person. Not recommending anyone to go there.
