It’s a decent spot, and the food tastes authentic. My friend and I had the chicken & rice combo. The chicken is cooked on a gyro machine, so the flavor and texture are a bit different from the typical “food cart” style chicken & rice — but it was still tasty.
The accompanying salad felt a bit rushed, with the veggies chopped into big, uneven pieces - wish they were cut into small pieces. That said, the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere and a touch of cultural charm that adds to the experience. The restaurant is in a really good part of the town.

We stopped at Sam's for a late lunch on our way from Truckee to San Francisco. The portion sizes were huge, and the food was fresh and amazing! It was clear that love and care went into its preparation. Literally the best falafel and baklava I have ever had, and I have lived in the Middle East. My husband had shawarma, and he said it was equally awesome. The service was friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend!!

This is my favorite restaurant in the world. Sam and his family are the best folks around. They put endless love and hard work into their food and their service. I've never had a better shawarma anywhere.

Best shawarma around! I’ve been coming to Sam’s for over 10 years, and it never disappoints. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the quality is always consistent. It’s a family-owned gem with friendly service and a warm, welcoming vibe. A true Davis local favorite! 🥙🔥

Didn’t feel it was clean. Tables dirty, counter dirty Staff was congenial, but food seemed slapped together with little care. Ordered the chicken shawarma plate. The chicken was in flakes- wasn’t sure it was chicken!

Amazing food from an ABSOLUTELY amazing family! They put their heart and soul into their food!
Sam’s restaurant is one of my favorite places in Davis. The whole family is always so kind, and generous, and the food is always incredibly delicious. The falafel on pita is my go-to, and their restaurant is the perfect lunch spot for students as it is right off of campus. Don’t forget to try to baklava!
