Kebab near West Roxbury, MA

“EXCELLENT Lahmajoun. Probably the best we’ve had. Also tried the falafel plate and a spinach pie. Portions are huge! Definitely going back.“

“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.“

“Awesome food and desserts.“

“Best Mediterranean food I've had in decades. Everything was delicious. Couldn't be better. I had the kofra kebab plate, ground beef with lamb, rolled and fried, salad, hummus, garlic sauce and tabouli. Look it up. I'm probably not touching it all the great aspects of it. Every part of it was exceptional, full of freshness and taste, each part distinctive in taste and presentation from another part. Not the usual commodification of Mediterranean food present in most imitative restaurants. So many spots are predictable, bland, food feeling like it sat around waiting to be served and unremarkable in every way. Not here. A full size salad, bright, light tastes with just the right amount of a delicate dressing. Not just the typical hunks of greens and ingredients thrown together with no soul and doused in some soybean oil based imitation.It was not the thick flour pita pocket that despite rips apart when you try to lightly stuff it with your salad or grape leaves or tabouli, despite being the thickness of baseball glove leather. This pita pocket was as thin as it could be, not the chewy baseball glove we usually get, yet completely resilient. It held everything I stuffed into it.“

“I discovered this restaurant by the amazing smell, always a good sign. I did a take out order, with the Mirze Gasemi and Kebob-E-Soltani. Both were very tasty, tender, with a wonderful combination of spices, they came with the rice which was airy and perfectly cooked.

They have only a few tables but they are nicely set up with white table cloths and the atmosphere is of an elevated place but cozy and very comfortable. The noise level is also very low, no loud music, which makes it excellent for carrying out a conversation without having to shout to be heard. We’ll definitely go there to dine out.“

“Best food forever“

“If you are looking for outstanding authentic Egyptian food please try Kushari. The food made to order is consistently delicious and service is over the top. Plenty of free parking is another bonus!“

“The food was delicious and the stuff was very nice and very cautious with the virus situation.“

“A hidden gem! 🌿 A small but incredibly cozy spot serving authentic Azerbaijani 🇦🇿 dishes full of flavor and soul ❤️ Every bite feels homemade and comforting. It’s honestly hard to choose what to eat — everything is so delicious, you’ll want to try it all!“

“Foods are delicious. My first experience in this restaurant was great. Tasty and delicious food.“

“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“

“I ordered the chicken behari, the chicken kabob, and the chicken 65, and all three were excellent. The chicken 65 was very tasty and spicy. The chicken Behari had the meat so well cooked it just fell off the bone. Finally, I also ordered the chicken Biriyani, and it was tasty, moist, and filled with plenty of chicken pieces. I highly recommend this place - it’s the first time I tried it, but I will definitely go back.“

“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.“
