“We usually order from a different Shawarma place in Somerville, but decided to give Sam's a try. The food was very good, and in good sized portions. They were good about following requests to leave things out of the wraps. Note that they do the style with fries on the side rather than in the wrap. My only complaint is that they list some, but not all, of the ingredients on their site. So if you have things you can't eat, I definitely recommend calling them to double check. My partner can't do creamy sauces, and they listed tahini sauce but not garlic sauce in the lamb/beef shawarma, which ended up being a problem. Not a huge thing, just annoying that they make it look like everything is listed when it isn't.“

“Food is great. Tastes home cooked and made with love. Babaganoush is delicious, mixed grill plentiful, their kanafeh was my favorite. Kanafeh is small but so so crunchy and the ice cream on top makes it so much better. Lachmajun large for value“

“Best Turkish food in Boston and many U.S. cities. Must try! Especially their doner, iskender and lahmacun.
Edit on 1/6/2026:
We dined in here again on 01/03/2026. Unfortunately, this place was taken over and is not managed by Turks anymore. It lost its Turkish flavor. So sad… We had iskender, lahmacun, cig kofte and manti. Cig kofte was so overpowered by cumin. We did’t like it. The lahmacun was so different than the last time. The meat tasted completely different and the lahmacun bread was flaky. Didn’t like it either. The biggest warning sign was that the doner station was off when we walked in. A doner shop never turns off the doner station. The meat always rotates, cooks, and is cut. As a result of this, the iskenders were barely warm, the bread was not sauced enough and we were never asked if we want melted butter with the iskender. The meat of iskender also tasted different. So disappointing…
The manti was okay. We were happy that they did not changed the yogurt, but the manti was lumped and the portion size was reduced to me.
Overall, I don’t recommend this place anymore. I hope the previous owner opened a new restaurant and let us know where it is.“

“This place is a must if you want halal. Excellent choices for middle eastern/Mediterranean style foods, and some excellent sandwich’s including a spicy fried chicken sandwich and a tasty smashburger. The hospitality is overwhelming, service is above and beyond.“
