Visited on a Friday night with family (including a baby...for which a highchair was provided). There are 2 floors with seating...we sat downstairs. The restaurant is well decorated in traditional Arabic design and is very clean.
We were met with a warm and friendly greeting by Haley. She was close at hand throughout our visit and we felt looked after and relaxed.
We shared both the cold and hot Mezes and they were delicious! I had intended to get photo's of all dishes but we all got over-excited and jumped straight in when the starters arrived!
The main course came out as a sharing platter. It was beautifully presented...absolutely spectacular! The meat was all cooked to perfection, the rice was fluffy and the salad was really fresh! The drinks we had were also amazing! Mojito (mocktail) and the Samaan Special, which was a blend of fruits.
We had a lovely evening and look forwards to our next visit 😀
Anyone would be satisfied by the taste of food, hospitality and smiley welcome to the customers. Small place but not congested. The full platter was ordered which was a mind blowing unique taste. Still have the craving for the food.
In comparison to other Kurdish, Iranian, Turkey cuisines in the UK the amount of food and the price is extremely high!
Didn't find their parking and also no place in the road side parking but there was a nearby Council parking place which is narrow but fair fare.
Beautiful flavoursome meal tonight at Samaan on Mill Road. If you’ve not been I’d definitely recommend you try it 🥰
Thank you so much Jamal and the rest of the team, It was absolutely delicious And the service was superb too. Food arrived very swiftly after ordering too.
My sister and I were invited to this restaurant by a couple of friends of ours, before they moved out of Cambridge, on Friday 29 June 2023, we all arrived at the restaurant, sat down and ordered drinks, as it was a hot day we all had fruit juices and bottled water, our starters were two shared plates of mix hot meze platters for four people, which were halloumi, calamari, falafel, sigara borek( turkish cheese rolls) and sausage.
Our dessert was Turkish Baklava, with Mint tea to finish, our meal was very good.
Absolutely delicious food - the chicken wings were literally the best I've EVER had! Everything is halal (by which I mean proper halal - no alcohol onsite). The lamb and chicken shish are both insanely good, as is the rice, couscous and chicken shawarma. And of course the baklava!!
Yes, we ate a LOT here - it was irresistible.
The service was excellent and the ayran is the perfect accompaniment to the meal (and very good value).
Definitely recommended for anyone in the area who loves good food!
Wasn’t too sure of this place when we went in, but omg the food was soo delicious!! Really good value for money. We ordered a jumbo platter and a large pot of black tea with Cardamom for 5 people. The rice was just amazing, so was the lam and chicken on the platter. Platter came with a lot of salad, and bread and a couple dipping sauces. Everything was really good and yummy! Will definitely visit again for sure!! The staff were really friendly as well and constantly checked in to see if we are okay or needed anything.

Thank you so much. We visited with our child who has many allergies and the staff was happy to warm up our own safe food . We enjoyed the platter and the tea was top notch. Baklava was so moist.
Came here for a meal one night and it was so impressive and hospitable that we decided to hold our Nikkah meal here. The owner organised a fantastic spread that went down well with all our guests!
It was arranged by the organizer of our training programme but I really appreciate that this place is chosen for our lunch. We had mix platers for 2, rice with chicken & lamb and well, the food portion was generous and we were unable to finish the share portion. Chicken and lamb were well cooked and very tasty I wish I can stay longer so that I can revisit the restaurant. Definitely recommended especially for those looking for halal option.
