" If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food, Samesa is the place to go. I enjoyed the chickpea seitan wrap, which was full of flavor and had a nice crunch from the veggies. The ambiance was cozy, making me feel at home while I ate. Highly recommend it for lunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" The avocado hummus is not to be missed! It was creamy and paired perfectly with warm pita bread. I could have eaten the entire bowl by myself! The staff were friendly, and the interior was cozy, making it a great spot for lunch. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Samesa was wonderful! I took my friends here for lunch, and we ordered a variety of dishes to share. The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned, and the portions were generous, leaving everyone satisfied. The staff was attentive, and the ambiance was lively yet cozy. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes coming to Samesa after reading positive reviews, but my meal was underwhelming. The pita bread was hard, and the falafel lacked seasoning. The service was decent, but I expected more based on the reputation. I may give it another chance but not anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Samesa while wandering around Midtown and decided to pop in for a quick bite. I opted for the wrap, and while the flavor was nice, the wrap itself was a bit chewy. The staff were accommodating, but the place felt cramped during lunchtime. Not sure if I would return often. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner here! The atmosphere was very inviting, and the staff was friendly. The chicken shawarma was nicely spiced and juicy.
