This place is delicious! We had the beef wrap and the chicken wrap and they were both incredible. You can tell the food is made with care, which is well appreciated. The wraps were well balanced in flavor and we’re NOT greasy which is appreciated. I highly suggest if you’re looking for a shawarma place to try it out! We are definitely going to return to try their plates and other items.

We’re so happy to have discovered this spot. The chicken kebab is tender and juicy, the rice is delicious, and the yogurt sauce is perfect. Great service. My wife and I’s new go-to Mediterranean.

Excellent food for a small corner restaurant! We ate lunch and dinner here a few times while we were working on the hydrogen station across the street. Everything is fresh with superb flavor, and the guy who owns the place couldn't be more gracious. This is the kind of establishment that you look forward to visiting.

Very bad. Lowest quality Mediterranean food. Same or worse quality as “street meat” stands in New York City, but with less flavor. Soggy fries. Low quality meat. Hummus tastes frozen.Truly terrible.

I made a catering order for my New Year's Eve brunch from Samar's and everything was so delicious, high quality, visually beautiful, and perfectly on time for pickup. I highly recommend Samar's, and I will keep going back, both for catering and for a quick bite to eat. Excellent all around.

This place is simply outstanding. We've tried everything and it's all delicious. Our favorites are the chicken and beef kabob. So flavorful and juicy. All the sides are great too. The rice is perfectly seasoned and we love the pickled veggies. We usually eat here 2-3x a week. We mostly get it to go, but you can dine in as well. Go try this family owned restaurant. You will love it too!!

Great new Mediterranean casual quick service place in east Pasadena on Allen right above the 210 fwy. Super friendly service and fresh Mediterranean favorites - bowls, plates, wraps, soups and salads with all the lules, kebabs and shawarma favorites. Interior tables as well. Easy street parking. Everything made fresh to order with reasonable prices for plates and combos. Their wraps are great as they also press toast then like a panini. I am glad that a good casual take out mezz place opened!

Good food, small portions. Ordered a shawarma sandwich thinking it would fill me up. When I got home and opened it up it was a very narrow shawarma, about 1/2 the size of ones I get at different restaurants. I was definitely a little disappointed given the amount of money I paid. I did taste good.

Food was mediocre with little flavor, and bits of gristly unchewable bits in my chicken. And it took quite a bit longer to pick up than the estimated time.
