" A big shoutout to Eli and the team for bringing such a wonderful place to our neighborhood! The chicken shawarma is heavenly, and I love the garlic sauce that adds that extra zing. It’s the perfect blend of flavors and texture, and I often take friends here to share in the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Samesa was average at best. The service felt rushed, and the dishes, while good, didn't stand out compared to other Mediterranean places I've tried. The shawarma was fine but didn’t have that authentic punch I had been hoping for. Not sure I would return. " (*Curated Review*)
