My husband and I have been coming here for years and always love the food and service The staff changes periodically But they're all great The Indian guy the tall guy and the manager lady with colored hair always seem happy to help Not sure why there's some negative reviews because we've never had issues We always come back!! read more

Had a coupon for this place & decided to try it out for take-away / take-out. The family meal was great for a group of 3. (Enough + leftovers) FOOD: Roasted Chicken - 7.9 / 10 Your typical whole roasted chicken. Nothing to write home about, but not bad either. As with any solid Mediterranean restaurant, the toum is always what delivers. I appreciated that they were rather generous with 4 plastic condiment containers-worth. Rice - 8.5 / 10 I don't usually have much to say about rice, but there's was quite exceptional. I didn't realize that how cook rice can vary. I was taken aback by how fluffy their's was. I would venture to guess that they add oil to their & they fluff the grains after cooking. Also, the portion that they give for the family meal is quite generous. Salad - 7.5 / 10 I appreciate how fresh & crisp the lettuce was (I believe Romain, if I'm not mistaken). But what really delivers here is the vinaigrette. It delivers that sour punch that this meal so desperately needed. Hummus - 7.5 / 10 Creamy. A bit nutty. An excellent vehicle for a quality olive oil. Pita - 7.9 / 10 Doux Brand - You can buy it online. Great chew, tears decently & has a nice sturdiness. I appreciate that it's non-GMO. I'd happily go here again to dine-in & perhaps try one of their daily lunch specials next time. Not a bad place, especially if you're looking for something on the light & healthy side. read more

We hadn't been to this franchise in quite a while. We ordered the combination plate with two chicken Kabobs to share. It included a salad, rice, pita bread and hummus. Everything tasted good. We moved from the inside to the outside because it was way too cold inside. I would also recommend a better quality of napkins. read more

Sam's Flaming Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Valencia, California

Tried Sam's Flaming Grill for lunch today after it was recommended by someone I know. There was a staff member at the cash register who was not friendly at all, there was religious "Jesus is king" music playing from the TV with music videos, and a general weird energy in the establishment. No need to go back again. read more

Horrible service and greeting. As if I inconvenienced the staff. Only 3 orders ahead of me. It's been 30 mins no food. Whatever aluminum cover used to cover meat on the grill is falling apart and burnt. Guest prior to me said chicken was under cooked. Other guest asking for something no one to be found covering the front. read more

My husband and I ate here with a friend and it was delicious. The chicken was cooked just right, the cucumber sauce was fresh, the food was warm and service was excellent. Will definitely come back! read more

Amazing Service Food is delicious I've been bringing my kids here for years I normally don't leave reviews, but this restaurant deserves a much higher rating! It's one of my favorite places on the planet! read more

When you have been a loyal customer of an establishment for 10+ years, it's pretty disappointing when you call to place a takeout order and are rejected. Especially when the employee has probably only been there a couple of months. When I called at at 4:45 Sunday 1/18/26 a female employee said it would be 45 minutes for a takeout order. When I asked if the chicken needed time to cook, she said "no it's because we're busy". So I asked if it would be better if we dined in, she said "it's going to be 45 minutes for all orders". I'm not sure what needs to happen...hire another employee or what, but this is not the way to respond to customers. The good news is, we found another Mediterranean restaurant close by. read more

Ordered via DD (yes, I already know it'll be hit or miss) but this was definitely a miss. I don't know how they managed to make rice both mushy and crunchy at the same time but props to them in doing so, I'm impressed by the sheer skill of killing a side at both ends of the spectrum. The chicken was OK, I got a piece that was burnt beyond recognition and another super chewy.. boy were my taste buds sent into outer space with that one. What's worse was when I called to be a Karen the girl who answered the phone shrugged it off like she could literally give two sh$%@ at the quality of the food and that's exactly why the reviews are the way they are. If I owned or even managed this spot I'd consider taking the Temu Wednesday Addams off the register, off the phones and more importantly off the grill. read more

The food here is really tasty, and the owner is very kind and welcoming. The only downside is that it can take a little while to get your order, but it's definitely worth the wait. read more

Ordered falafel, and opened them up, they weren't cooked at all inside and when I went back to tell them it wasn't fully cooked, they said "that's how our falafel is" hahaha so you give customers raw food. That was a joke , they were probably lazy. Horrible service would never return read more

This place mid I ordered 8pc chicken and beef shawarma and they done gave me 4 chicken 1 beef and forgot garlic sauce. Very sad read more

Sam's Flaming Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Valencia, California

Big portions and really good flavor! I had the kebab and shawarma plate -- super tasty with the fries. The rice wasn't really for me, but everything else hit the spot. I'll definitely be back when I'm hungry! read more

I was craving some falafel for lunch. My usual spot is quite a distance away, so I decided to try Sam's. The young lady serving me was sweet. The falafel was fried fresh for my order. All the veggies were super fresh. I got hummus and tabouli as sides. All of it was so good! Next time I'll ask for a pita for my wrap instead of lavash. I only ate half of my wrap and lavash gets a little soggy after a day. Also the price was super reasonable! Around $13 and considering I got two lunches out of it, that's cheaper than a lot of fast food! read more

Mama wanted a night off cooking and my husband got home late so we needed a quick and convenient meal before we got to our night routine and settle in for the evening. This place was right down the street and easy to call in after viewing their menu online. My husband drove down to pick it up and bring it home to enjoy. The man working was very nice! The food was good, nothing extra special, but nothing to complain about. We got the chicken and steak kebab plates with yogurt dip. The portions were large enough to have a great lunch the next day as well. Prices were fair. It's a solid spot for quick, convenient and tasty Mediterranean food! read more

Rotisserie chicken brought me back child hood memories. Decided to try out this place a while ago and now became a frequent customer. Fast service and friendly too. Chicken wasn't dry wish its always a plus. Remind it me of grandma cooking in a way. Perfect amount of seasons and great side dish choices. Will be coming here for my lunch often now read more

Finally tried Sams! I got the Lamb Chop platter with rice salad and hummus as sides. Rice was delicious, buttery! Loved their salad dressing! Lamb chops were also good. Portions are great as well. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other kabobs! Definitely check them out as they have a few locations throughout SCV! read more

This eatery is located in a grocery store shopping center with plenty of parking. We have eaten here many times. The food is fresh and tasty. The restaurant is always clean when we go in to pick up our food. The young lady who takes our food orders is friendly and helpful. The half rotisserie chicken plate comes with many side choices. The chicken is full of flavor, juicy and not too salty. The Mediterranean chicken salad is a large greek salad with a large portion of the rotisserie chicken on it. Prices are reasonable for the portions and quality. I hope you enjoy the food here as much as we do. read more

I am very disappointed in the service that we received from this Sam's. We are locals - live right across the street, and have eaten here for years. Today is the first time I have been soured on them. We ordered their food via grubhub, there was a problem and 1 item could not be fulfilled, but something "happened" and we had 1 of our items cancelled - and we did not receive any notification at all, just half of our order arrived. Yes, I realize this should be a "Grubhub thing", but of course a restaurant should care about how people feel about them and their food right? So I call them and the person who spoke with me (who said she was a manager) was extremely dismissive and blaming of Grubhub (I still dont know if they even informed the driver or not - but their attitude made it much worse anyway). The bottom line is #1 you should always try to provide good service to your customers and that includes situations when they are left disappointed, and #2 if you KNOW that you dont have a certain item thats ordered, you should being trying like heck to ensure that you KNOW the customer is still able to get something to compensate, because NOBODY wants to be left without food. I did not appreciate the tone and "not my fault" attitude of the manager, and although we have been long term customers we are no longer wanting to bring our service to this location. read more

Pathetic! Not sure who has taken over this particular Sam's Flaming Grill but they need to be more present. Young ladies working the lunch hour do not take their job seriously. I am the only customer in here. AirPods in, on phone, chatting about their personal lives, ordering Jersey mikes next door... I have an idea, maybe you should prep my food that I have been waiting way too long for being the only customer in the store. I now think I know why. Very sad to see this restaurant go downhill. read more

Pretty gross chicken bowl, no flavor, the chicken looks gray and has zero flame-grilled taste. They charge a dollar for sauces. The rice is overcooked, the salad is just lettuce with a few pieces of tomato. Isn't Mediterranean food supposed to be flavorful? This bowl is just a pile of mush. read more

You won't find more incredible affordable Mediterranean food. The lamb kabobs are absolutely mouth watering. LOVE Sam's!

Fresh food and good service! The inside was very clean. Downfall was it was extremely EXPENSIVE. A wrap, plate and 2 drinks was $44. Not worth the price and won't be going back. The food was not worth the price at all read more

Closest place to get your Mediterranean food fix. My favorite plate is the chicken shawarma plate/wrap. Chicken kabob is also really good. I am a big fan of their tahini sauce and hummus. They have a good selection of beverages to choose from and I am happy to be getting quality food. I got 4 complete plates for me and my brothers which came out to about 74 dollars which is pretty fair for the amount of food they give you. read more

Such a great place! Excellent service and super friendly! Tried for the first time and they recommended some great dishes for me and my partner. Also super clean! Definitely recommend read more

Love coming to this place, my favorite is the chicken plate and the humus. My food is always hot and fresh the staff love them always friendly and welcoming. Lunch time and dinner do get busy but the wait for me is worth it. Loyal customer read more

In general food quality could be improved. Nothing special, kinda bland... I wouldn't go back here unless there wasn't another option. read more

Delicious food with portions that fill you up. Fast service. Never have a long wait. Overall a great experience. Best place for shawarma.

I grew up in scv and had been eating here since 2010. In my opinion the food is amazing!!! Chicken kabob with rice and hummus. This place makes everything fresh and can get busy at times. Call ahead to make a pick up order with no wait. The owners are super nice and you can tell the food is made with love. I'm here visiting from Texas where I live now and this was my first stop on FOOD SPOTS IN SCV!!! Thank you Sam's, keep up the great work!!! From Austin, Texas The Farmers read more

Just left this location, and I just love the service and the food. The lovely lady (I believe the manager) always makes me feel very welcome. She goes out of her way to make conversation and has my food ready in a timely matter. The chicken is always juicy and the rice is my favorite. Thank you. read more

Due to yesterday being my first time at Sam's, it took me a little while to decide what I wanted. The male worker seemed agitated that I wasn't immediately ordering. I ordered a wrap, and the guy tried to up-sale me multiple times by suggesting I order the full plate instead of the wrap. I remained polite, however got fed up with him trying to change my order and told him again that I made my decision and didn't want the plate. I took two bites into my chicken wrap, look down and had a small beetle crawling out of the lettuce. I don't normally do this, but I immediately called Sam's to tell them. The same male associate answered and I told him that I had a beetle crawling out of my food. I had to explain to him multiple times, because he kept saying "what? You don't like our food?" And I said "not with bugs in it" to which his reply was "I can't give you a refund just because you don't like our food!". I literally had to spell out the word beetle, when that didn't work, spelt out the word bug. He says "I need to see it", and hung up on me. I went back in, with the beetle inside an old receipt I used to take it out of the food. He immediately told me to go over to the side, near the back. I'm assuming he didn't want all the other customers to hear that they serve their food with bugs. He puts his hand out and says "let me see it". I told him I didn't want him having my receipt because it has my info on it and offered to open up the receipt myself, however he took it anyway, and didn't give it back. He went to the back and it was gone. At this point I was just over it.. I told him I wanted a refund. Refunded my money, no apologies, no anything, didn't even say a word to me. In addition, some teenagers came in and started walking towards the back, he shouted "what are you doing and where are you going?" and they replied "can we use the restroom?" And he told them no and pointed towards the door. This guy was one of the most miserable and unpleasant of people I have ever encountered at a restaurant. Figured maybe he was just having a bad day, but after reading all the comments, this seems to be a normal occurrence. I know accidents happen and bugs are around, but maybe try atleast covering your food!!! And when this does happen from time to time, maybe try not being a flaming unkind person. Definitely will NEVER be going back. Save your time and money and go else where. The chicken was disgusting and undercooked anyway (well, atleast from the only two bites I had). read more

I love the chicken family meal with cucumber yogurt! This is my go to place when I don't want to cook and it's affordable and very tasty!!!!

The guy is incredibly rude, poor customer service. Gets angry if you order food past 8 when they close at 9. Just change your hours. Yelled at an older lady for making an online order past 8:20. Don't make ordering online available at that time if it's a problem. He said 'next time you order that late I won't make the food'. read more

Im don't usually write reviews but ever since I've moved here this has been my favorite place to eat. The meat is always delicious and cooked to perfection and don't get me started on the hummus it's so goood!!! The costumer service is great and the guy that's usually behind the counter is so sweet and funny and always puts a smile on my face. You guys have to try this place!!!! read more

My wife went to Sams Flaming Grill on Copperhill tonight, when she received her order, she asked for a fork. The lady looked at her and said "you'll have to go next-door to Jersey Mikes and ask for a fork. Wow, great customer service. They should walk down the shopping center to Albertsons and buy plastic forks. read more

My family LOVES this place! We always get the chicken kabob and a side of mutabbal (most amazing part of the meal) and tabbouleh. Everything is always very tasty. We've never had a meal inside the restaurant, we always call in the order and take it to go. read more

I will have to see if the other locations are better. NO Mask, refused contact less payment, was rude and short with me, and tossed my reciept in the trash on his side as he ignored me. I had to ask for the drinks for the kids meals, and was given attitude for that as well. Zankou chicken in the valley is better than this and they are nicer and following better rules on quality and customer service, and I get a text with my reciept. Will avoid this location, its not worth it. read more

I am kind of surprised I have not reviewed Sam's yet! I have been here a handful of times and I always love it. This is a weird thing to say about them, but their salads are amazing. Seriously, one of the best salads ever. Although the staff is not overly bubbly and friendly, I'm ok with it. They are efficient and they do their job. They also do take a really long time, which I am also OK with, because the food is always super fresh. I would rather have a long wait time and great food than short wait time and mediocre food. Since I am aware of their long waits, I always make sure I call with plenty of time before I pick up. I plan to continue to be a somewhat regular here. read more

Walked in to grab some lunch. The first thing that I noticed was that they had meat on both burners and the burners were off and the meat was dry just sitting cold. We placed are order and they literally turned on the burners to heat up the meat again. We ordered the wraps and the bread was stale and. Quite honestly worst Middle Eastern eatery I have ever had. read more
