Exceptional customer service I've experienced in some time, thank you, Armen. I've driven by 100 times and eventually called to place an order for pick up. The food was delicious and right on point.

Looking for a great kebab 🍢? Sam's is your place. When I visited, food was prepared on the curb side, it felt like having your own bbq with friends. Sam, the owner, and his employees pay attention to every detail.
