I got catering for about 20 people and WOW! All my guests were so pleased. The food is sooo delicious! Definitely worth trying this place.

Enjoyed the experience. Great food and even better service. If you are looking for authentic Armenian kabob, Sam's will deliver.

The food is incredible, worth every penny! My kids will eat every last bit of rice on there plate.

Absolutely love this place. When you walk in, the customer service is amazing and they always greet you with smiles. The ambiance in the restaurant is a very relaxing vibe, especially with the aquarium! On the main reason why I always go here. The food tastes absolute phenomenal. The beef with lavash is what I always get, and I always get it medium rare. It's perfectly seasoned and he tomato sauce they make in house is absolutely delicious. They are the only place that does it right! If you haven't checked out Sam's Kebab, definitely treat yourself and stop by! You'll be happy you did! read more

Sams kebab hooked it up yesterday for sure.the party platter for 10 they made for my family was more then what my expectations were. The food was set in a huge circle sturdy metal tray. Nothing floppy . They even said I can keep the tray. The food was so amazing that I had people that don't eat lamb .... Eating lamb and saying it taste better then beef. Beautiful presentation and very nice and helpful staff that will help you carry your food to your car for you. Thank you everyone. Got a new happy customer for life . read more

This place is charming. grilling to order on the sidewalk and family working the whole place. I've had a lot of kebab wraps, but the pork ikibir is genuinely special with some sort of tomato mixture inside. It's also a generous portion. Haven't tried the other things on the menu but this is worth coming back for read more

Came in on a Saturday evening after 8 was easy to read the menu and take my order. My wife and I ordered 2 beef kebabs. Absolutely amazing and delicious, the beef was seasoned perfect and the rice was cooked perfect. The side salad was just that. The beef was mouth watering perfectly cooked no fat pieces and no chewy pieces. My wife absolutely love it! Costumer service was nice very friendly and helpful. read more

Saw them BBQing while driving down Victory BLVd and made a quick turn around to pick up dinner. This great Armenian Kebab house is a gem in this neighborhood. Fresh marinated kebabs give you a multitude of choices along with potatoes, peppers and tomatoes (you need to try them all). I got the chicken breast BBQ plate and it was amazing. Perfectly marinated and BBq'd, super juicy & oh so good. I got the BBQ pork ribs for my hubby who was literally speechless eating it. This is now our fave Kebab place in the valley. Does not disappoint and the owner and everyone there are super nice. Can't wait to come back and try their other kebabs - with all the veggies I can eat! Yum. read more

Ordered Chicken Lule Kabob plate to-go for $16. Customer service was great and only waited 15min for food to be done. The chicken lule, the rice, and side salad was delicious and amazing, although I do wish I ordered some hummus or tzatziki on the side to eat with the lavash and plate. Would definitely recommend to others 10/10. Thank you Sam's Kabob! read more

Such tasty, wonderful food! It's freshly grilled right after you order it. Good-sized portions and reasonable prices!

Went back for more! I had the Lamb Kebab combo all for myself, this time. And, it was still mouthwatering, and the presentation was beautiful! My friend had the Rib combo and it was also delicious and beautiful! This time, we ordered & split the grilled potatoes, and they were pretty tasty. There was no strong smells or sounds this time! We had a great time and will definitely make this one of our favorite spots! read more

Came here as a recommendation from a friend. The service was great as the employees are really friendly. The food was pretty tasty as well. The reason I give them 4 stars is because the rice was a bit bland for me and the grilled tomato came cold which i'm used to eating hot. I will definitely be giving them a second try as the service itself was exceptional and the rest of the meal (salad, bread, and kabob) was great. read more

I'm not going to eat anywhere where I don't feel appreciated or looked upon differently from other customers because of the color of my skin. Horrible service to ppl of color and not very welcoming if you're not speaking their language. read more

I've eaten at Sam's Kebab by Beck Cuisine twice recently. I like how they have expanded the menu to add new good options. Service was great as usual, friendly atmosphere. I will be coming back. read more

Decided to check this place out since I live a walking distance and man I should've been here before because the food is great! The cooling is done all in front of you and it is tasty. I got the beef kebab with rice and salad and roasted tomato. I'm all about supporting local food handlers and I hope this place gets a bit more popularity! read more

Walked in and was ignored. The restaurant was empty and two employees were at a register. I walked up and one employee even made eye contact with me, kept his frown, and went back to what he was doing without any acknowledgment. Again, completely empty restaurant. It's fine if you can't help me right away, but at least acknowledge me. Literally the foundation of customer service. read more

Good food, good service, nice staff. Location is also very convenient, to go and dine in

Wow!! Just wow!! The food in this place is amazing. New favorite place. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for tasty food! read more

Went to order food and was told Sam is not here. 2 weeks later I went again and was told the same thing. Sam has become like family to us and was very disappointed to find out he sold the place. The food is ok but does not have the same ambiance since Sam left. read more

Delicious Tasty Kebabs. Everything was amazing and flavorful. We've ordered the catering options and it's perfect.

Went here last night to satisfy my late night cravings. Most Armenian places take forever to cook and the food is average. Sam's Kebab definitely blew my mind. It was a fun vibe, felt very traditional everything was neatly arranged and food cooked right in front of me. The owner was a very nice man and he helped me pick out the right item off the menu to satisfy my cravings, and had a nice conversation with me. I live right around the corner and am for sure going to be back everytime I crave fresh barbecue. The chicken barbecue and potatoes were to die for along with the rice and salad they serve it with. read more
