Sam’s Falafel Shawarma

The food at Sam 's was so good, it took me on a trip to memory lane!I 'm from a Lebanese family in Paris France and I 'm picky about my food. I went to Sam 's after reading reviews and I was expecting good Falafel and good Mediterranean food, but not GREAT Middle Eastern food. Sam is a great chef and cooks the best homemade style dishes from his native Syria.The Falafel was refined with just the right mix of spices (not loaded with cumin as people from other regions make it), a crispy exterior and a moist interior. It was sitting on a bed of tahini sauce that also had the perfect amount of seasoning. The foul madamas brought tears to my eyes because I haven 't had one like this in so many ye...

Went with my husband to Sam's Falafel and Shawarma in Somerville, it was a super nice day and the place had a very long line to the outside, within the 15 min wait there were almost 50 people who put in an order and got their orders quickly and efficiently. I got to eat my falafel with tahini and spicy fries with delicious garlic dip. I would've ordered the beef or chicken shawarma given they had it on the turning vertical rotisserie which would have guaranteed a moist juicy sandwich but I was craving falafel! I highly, beyond highly recommend this place! Sooooo good!

Went to this place today for lunch bc I really like falafels, came across it by accident due to me having work in the area. The falafel sandwich was great, but I definitely did NOT feel WELCOMED as a customer, not sure how many black people they encounter daily, but if it's more than myself they really need to get it together! Sidebar: The girl at the register was pleasant, that was their only saving grace. The food was definitely good and I looked forward to trying other items on the menu, but I'll pass, I'll stick to Pita in the South End where I am always welcomed.

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!It’s about $18/plate (worth it) and I see a lot of people complaining about an added 4% they didn’t know about. There’s a flyer indicating that clearly at the counter they just don’t read! Also, after going through this pandemic and seeing how much meaner customers are, no wonder he’s standoffish!! Absolutely love this place!!
