Very mid food. Underseasoned chicken. My wrap was 90% pickled vegetables. I won’t return. Too many other good spots to try.Food was ready for pick up on time. Atmosphere is fine for quick lunch.

Ordered the chickpea seitan wrap and OMG ! It was so good. From the fresh lavash wrap, the crunchy cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes, and hummus (you can taste the freshness of all the ingredients), it was one of the best meals from a middle eastern restaurant I have ever had in the US!

Really liked the vegan lamb. Its texture and taste were incredibly similar to a lamb kofta. The sauce was spicy! But offset with a really good salad.The server put up with us umm'ing and ah'ing about what we're going to have. And a couple of requests that had them searching for things. So got to give them credit there.In the basement of the Rockefeller center, so it can be a bit busy outside. But we had the entire place to ourselves which is surprising given the quality of the food.

Vegetarian options: The vegan lamb is very good and tastes enough like the real thing to satisfy reformed meat eater cravings.

Very rude. We had a large family that spent over 70$ here, but had 2 people with food restrictions and couldn’t eat there. They yelled at us for having 2 out of 7 people eat outside food, and threatened security on an eight year old. We were the ONLY people in the entire restaurant for our entire visit, and everyone else just walked past—I get that now.

Look you can’t be picky with vegan meats but the lamb was inedible. And the rest of the bowl — nearly $23 with missing ingredients— didn’t make up for it.The upside is that the line is shorter than sweetgreen but that’s about it.

The place that used to be here was so much better with greater options.

I got a chicken shawarma wrap and flavor wise it was so good BUT girl they wrapped the paper into the wrap so it was very uncomfortable to eat and the sauce got everywhere. I suggest getting a bowl instead
Samesa catered our organization’s holiday lunch, and our staff raved about all their food items including the vegan lamb sandwich, eggplant & pickled egg sandwich, kale fattoush salad, and desserts. In addition to the delicious food, they were also very accommodating, responsive via phone, and prompt with delivery. We will definitely consider having them cater another event!

Spend money on terrible food is the worst feeling. This is saltier than the ocean water. Disgusting ?
