Samos Cafe is a wonderful restaurant with friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. The food is delicious and of all the items I've tried I haven't had anything that disappointed.
The garlic fries are a must have and their tacos were delicious and loaded up with filling.
The only drawback for me would be the price. Samos is definitely catering more toward a higher class vibe and the prices tend to match. If it was more affordable I would return more often but as it is this is definitely a place I will bring people if I want them to have fantastic food in a fun atmosphere.

We were skeptical before coming but were impressed with the food, atmosphere and service! The black hummus is unique, the lentil soup is very flavorful, the bison burger is so juicy! Fresh bouquet in each table, relaxing greenery decor, a ceiling window bringing lots of natural light, the super friendly staffs make you feel home.

Everything was really good. Our waiter was great. The decor was really nice. The music selection could have been improved because it did not match with the rest of the vibe. All the good was delicious

Sherman Oaks best kept secret - this place is an absolute gem to the neighborhood. Sherman Oaks is the better for such a quiet, beautiful, well serviced cafe. The food is FANTASTIC. Chef Aiden creates the most beautiful Mediterranean dishes, reflecting several cultures and communities with respect and taste. My favorite dishes so far are the Shakshuka, Chicken Pesto Panini, both Shawarma wraps, the Adult Grilled Cheese, and the Fattoush Salad. We are excited to try the Ajarski next!!
All the pastries, all the coffees - truly a delight!

So good! The Vegi plate is one of the best I’ve ever had! Falafel was perfect! Babaghoush was amazing with pomegranate seeds! Yum! The fatoush was fresh and flavorful and the filet kabob was also delicious. We will be back when we are in the area! Good options for vegetarians and meat eaters. 😊

This is a great restrauant in the San Fernando Valley. They also have valet parking after 5pm so thats a plus. I came here for an event and had a great time, the staff were wonderful and the food was amazing. My favorite was the filet mignon skewers. The black hummus was also a different experience since I usually only see the white hummus. The Baklava was too sweet to me but I heard it's a crowd favorite. The interior of this restaurant is very nice.

We discovered this “new place” for the first time today. We were headed to our regular breakfast place on Ventura but then saw this Resto. The shakshuka was great and we tried the ajarski (very tasty and large serving). Service was excellent (Elena, Calvin and Chef Adam). They look like a happy restaurant family (like the folks in The Bear TV show). Thank you Chef! We will come back for sure -).

I loved the ambiance and food. So delicious. I would recommend this place!
Fabulous breakfast, had the Crunchy French Toast, Shashuka and scrambled eggs. Everything was perfect with great coffee.

OMG This restaurant is a rare find!! The food, the service and the atmosphere are amazing! We had a shrimp wrap and chicken breast panini that were filled with so much more large shrimp and chicken breast than I’ve seen at any restaurant in LA! The baklava dessert was excellent. And the coffee was really delicious and served in unique coffee cups. The staff were super friendly and just the perfect amount of attentiveness. And the atmosphere was absolutely unique with greenery on the ceiling throughout with skylights interspersed. We will definitely make this a frequent restaurant stop!

Very friendly staff, reasonable prices, delicious food. Ordered Eggs Benedict which was perfectly cooked, schwarma Tacos and Falafel plate, along with a falafel wrap. Everything was perfectly done, prices were reasonable. Would visit again next time we are in the area. Highly recommend

A hidden gem! Honestly one of the best restaurants on Ventura by far, the food is 11/10 actually made with attention to detail and recipes I haven’t seen done so well in the states in general. This place is someone’s passion project and I’ll be coming back for years to come! Awesome staff, nice portions, and the interior is like a modern warm cozy garden.

Food & service was amazing. Hostess is the sweetest with the best energy. This will be our new go-to breakfast/lunch spot!
Not worth the price at all
