" I'm a fan of Afghan cuisine, and Sameem did not disappoint! The variety of dishes was impressive, and I thoroughly enjoyed the eggplant appetizer. The prices were very fair for the quality you receive. I would suggest a touch of improvement in service speed, as we had to wait a while for our main courses. However, the quality of the food was certainly worth it. I can't wait to come back and try different items from the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for an authentic experience, and Sameem delivered! The lamb dishes were fantastic, especially the qabelli pulao. I could tell the ingredients were fresh, and the meal did not disappoint. The service, while occasionally a bit slow, was friendly and welcoming. I think the ambiance needs improvement, particularly with lighting, but overall it was a nice dinner I would gladly recommend to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Afghan food, look no further than Sameem. The kabobs were grilled to perfection and the spices were just right. I appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted, particularly in the salads. I also loved the ambience, though it was a bit simple; it gave a homely feel. My only drawback was the slight waiting time during peak hours, but the good food was worth it. I will definitely return and recommend this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my first experience with Afghan food at Sameem. I walked in with no expectations but walked out pleasantly surprised! The staff was very welcoming, and they guided me through the menu. I opted for the butter chicken and a side of naan. The food was deliciously seasoned, and the naan was warm and fluffy. I enjoyed the ambience too—it felt homey, though it could be brighter. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends looking to expand their palate. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Sameem with my family the other weekend. It was a splendid experience! The menu offered a variety of authentic Afghan dishes, and we decided to order the Mid-Eastern Feast platter to share. The array of flavors was delightful, especially the delicious chutney that accompanied our meal. Service was attentive, and the waiter ensured our glasses were always full. I'd rate the portions as generous too. My only suggestion would be to enhance the ambiance a touch. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to delve into Afghan cuisine.

" A close friend recommended Sameem, and I finally decided to give it a chance! The flavors in the dishes are vibrant and authentic. I sampled the lamb kaba and found it tender and seasoned beautifully. The dining room could benefit from a little cosmetic upgrade to make it feel more inviting; it's fine, but could be more atmospheric. All in all, it’s a solid place for anyone craving Afghan food; I left feeling satisfied and will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Sameem are out of this world! I had the lamb karahi, and it was seasoned beautifully. The tender lamb melted in my mouth. My partner enjoyed the chicken broast, which he raved about all week. The atmosphere is laid-back and comfortable, perfect for an evening out. We received our food relatively quickly, and our waiter was charming and helpful. Prices are reasonable for the quality. I can't wait to return for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)
