" The meal was great but wildly inconsistent when it came to service. Order timing was odd, and my dish came out half-an-hour after my wife’s, even though we ordered at the same time. It was still delicious—my palak paneer was wonderfully spicy, and the naan was fresh. A cozy place, just need to work on service timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Sam's was a highlight of my trip to Joshua Tree! The food was truly exceptional, with each dish reflecting the authentic flavors of India. The service was friendly, although a bit slow due to the number of diners. Each bite was enjoyable, and I found myself wanting to try everything on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sam's has become my go-to place for Indian food! They have a diverse menu and the flavors are always on point. Their butter chicken is top-notch, and the portions are generous, too. The service has been friendly every time I've gone as well. The atmosphere can get lively, but it only adds to the charm of the place. I highly recommend grabbing a meal there! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delighted to find a little gem in such a remote area! The lamb curry was an absolute standout—complex flavors and satisfying spice levels. The garlic naan was warm and tasted amazing. I also tried the mango lassi as a beverage, which was refreshingly sweet. The restaurant was clean and had a cozy feel, perfect for a dinner after exploring Joshua Tree. I will surely return whenever I'm in the vicinity! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sam's Indian Food & Pizza surprised me with their authentic flavors and combination of cuisines. Each dish was packed with spice and freshness.

" I was skeptical at first but I ended up loving Sam's combining Indian and pizza. The curry flavors on the pizza were delightful, and I especially loved the aloo gobi curry. The naan was a little too crispy for my taste in some instances, but that didn’t spoil my overall meal. I appreciated the quick service and vibrant colors of the decor inside. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped at Sam's while on our road trip and what a treat it was! The butter chicken was creamy and delicious, definitely one of the better versions I’ve had. The garlic naan paired perfect, it was fluffy and warm. The restaurant also had a pleasant ambiance, making it a great spot to relax after a long day of driving. Service was decent, and I’d recommend it to anyone passing through. " (*Curated Review*)
