Sami's

RECENT UPDATE! MAY 8, 2022... On a recent visit to Samis, I have to say, that the LENTIL SOUP is SUPREME!. I never had such an amazing soup that surpassed my wildest expectations. If you are planning to go to b Samis, then I strongly recommend this soup! The rest of the meal was excellent and fantastic value for money! I just ordered a Lamb Cutlet Takeway. Wow! First off Samis is so generous with his portions! 3 massive sized cutlets! Now the most important is the quality and taste.. I was blown away by the incredible succulent taste.. I rarely leave reviews, but Samis has excelled themselves in this lockdown climate and made my day so much more enjoyable with a delicious meal.

Just enjoyed our take away from Sami’s and had to write to let any coeliacs know that, if you’re looking for delicious kosher food with plenty of gluten-free options, then this is definitely the place for you. Firstly, the lady taking our order over the phone was extremely clued in with what was suitable for coeliacs. This was possibly the first time ever I can remember being told, completely unprompted, that any of the fried foods would not be suitable due to cross-contamination with the oil, where shnitzel and other food products share the oil. What impressed me equally was that she offered for the chef to wipe down the grill for any meat or chicken I may order, as normally the pita uses the same grill, rendering it unsuitable for gluten-free customers. I was really very pleasantly surprised at her level of knowledge (possibly she’s a coeliac, too? ). There are virtually no kosher restaurants in London where I’m guaranteed even one soup on the menu that is gluten-free. Here there were 3, as well as the option of choosing the chicken soup (but without the extras). Usually the restaurants say that the stock they use isn’t suitable so when I find a restaurant with a choice of soups I feel truly spoilt! Finally, I must make the important point that the lady taking my order was extremely polite and patient over the phone, and I didn’t feel under any pressure to make a quick decision over the phone. Despite not being English, she understood me perfectly, I didn’t have to spend ages spelling out my requirements (something which I often gave to do with other North West London kosher restaurants!) and she was extremely efficient. Thank you so much, Sami’s. We have just finished eating and our meal was DELICIOUS!

Food is of a high quality and we can really taste the fresh ingredients used. Our workplace is within walking distance and the restaurant is always able to accommodate pre-orders when we are short of time and we just have our lunch ready whenever we get there. We go to Samis at least once a week and it is definitely a must if you want to try falafel or shawarma.
