" Disappointed with my recent visit. I tried the chicken tikka masala based on recommendations, but found it a bit bland compared to other places. The service was attentive, but we did have a long wait for our food. The atmosphere was casual, but not in an inviting way—more on the side of dull. I was hoping for a better experience since I've read such great things. Despite this, I may consider giving it another shot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been back to Sameem several times, and it never disappoints. The lamb kadhai is my go-to dish; it's always juicy and well-spiced. The staff has consistently provided great service, remembering my preferences and making me feel valued. The setting is casual; it's not fancy, but it's comfortable. Just be prepared for sometimes long wait times during busy hours, which is the only downside. Overall, I happily recommend it to friends wanting to try Afghan food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Sameem was unforgettable! The butter chicken was phenomenal and easily one of the best I've tasted. Each bite was rich, creamy, and delicately spiced. Besides the incredible food, the service was very attentive and friendly. They even offered suggestions on what to order based on our preferences. The decor could use a little updating, but the inviting atmosphere made up for it. We left feeling satisfied and keen to return for more authentic Afghan flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Sameem was not as great as I had hoped. The food tasted mediocre, especially when compared to other Afghan places I've been to. The service was alright, but the atmosphere felt lacking. I think they need to step up their game if they want to compete. This visit has made me hesitant to return, but I may give it one more try after some time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sameem Afghan Restaurant has absolutely amazing food that could rival any upscale Afghan eatery! I ordered the chicken biryani and it was spiced just right, the chicken was tender, and the cauliflower side had just the right crunch to it. The service was friendly, though a little slow. Ambiance was simple but pleasant otherwise. I'd be glad to eat here regularly if I lived in St. Louis. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
