Sam's - Davis

Food was absolutely awful. Me and my mom we both got sick as soon as we get home This placeNeed to be cleaned and sanitize also

Sam’s restaurant is one of my favorite places in Davis. The whole family is always so kind, and generous, and the food is always incredibly delicious. The falafel on pita is my go-to, and their restaurant is the perfect lunch spot for students as it is right off of campus. Don’t forget to try to baklava!

It's hard to describe the magic that is Sam's. Sure, it's the best shawarma falafel I have had anywhere in the world (including the middle east . Or the fact they seem to find ripe tomatoes in the winter. Sure, their personalized service means that they always remember to include 3 x the hot sauce (homemade, scrumptious with my order.... But the true beauty really comes down to Sam himself, and his children. When my husband, my two kids and I walk in to the restaurant, we honestly feel like cherished friends family- Let me tell you, as someone who is far from home, this is invaluable. I know I'm not alone... Just scroll through his facebook page of UCD students and profs who feel the same. Even my octogenarian parents insist on visiting Sam every time they are in from Canada.Sam never fails to spoil us, and always greets my kids with a wink and a joke.Sam says he is lucky to have all of these friends and customers ... The truth is... It is we who are lucky to have him, his children, and his establishment.But seriously... Try the falafel and hot sauce. And the lamb. And the pita. And the hummus....(For bonus points, check out videos of Sam dancing playing the Oud.!!

Outstanding food and service! I got the salad with beef and chicken and it blew me away! Everyone there is so friendly!

A really excellent little restaurant! I thought their hummus was delicious, as were their fresh pita breads. I had the chicken kabob on pita sandwich and it was really good! Easily one of my favorite Mediterranean meals I've eaten in recent memory, highly highly recommended!!
