" Our visit to Sam's was a delightful surprise. We explored various dishes, from the vegetable samosas to the butter chicken and even opted for their unique curry pizza. The flavors were authentic, and everything was prepared freshly. The restaurant has a comfortable vibe, ideal for both small and larger groups. The only hiccup was a slight delay in service during a busy hour, but the delicious food made the wait worthwhile. Definitely plan on going back during our next visit to Joshua Tree! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Sam's, I finally ventured in during my recent Australian travels to USA. I was particularly excited to try the Punjabi pizza, which was unlike anything I've had before. It had a spicy sauce base and plentiful toppings that reminded me of home. The staff were friendly, but the restaurant was quite busy, resulting in a longer wait for our food. Still, the atmosphere was lively and engaging. Overall, a unique dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sam's during my recent trip to Joshua Tree and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! I ordered the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The tikka masala was creamy and had just the right level of spice. The naan was freshly baked and complemented the dish perfectly. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. My only complaint was that the service could have been a bit more attentive. Overall, a great spot for Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The place had a unique charm, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. I ordered the chai, tikka masala, and garlic naan. The tikka masala was flavorful, perfectly spiced, but I found the naan slightly dense rather than soft. The service was positive overall, but we did experience a wait for our meal. It wasn't a dealbreaker for me, and I'm looking forward to returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who loves Indian food, I was excited to check out Sam's. From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of spices filled the air, and I immediately felt welcomed. The chicken vindaloo was spicy, but I enjoyed every bite! The naan was freshly baked and the service was really friendly. It can be a bit crowded, but it’s worth it for the food, which is so flavorful. I will definitely recommend this place to any friends visiting the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
