Sami's in Barnet

Poor. Went in to order a takeaway. Was told to choose my salads as I was ordering at the till, but this means you don't know what you could have. When I got home the laffe was pathetic. 4 cold falafel - (you used to get more) and a meagre amount of filling. Won't be going back unless they get their act together.

It was a very good meal but the waiters were in a big rush and couldn’t wait to clear our table. Big portions of food. Very tasty.

Really nice food, both presentation and flavour were on point. Service was prompt. During my visit, it was slightly busy and was a little loud because of that. I'm sure that during quiet hours it's perfect for a casual meal out.

So slow that we ended up not eating there. Just too awful for words and staff who simply don't care.

Really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere.

Ordered by Deliveroo this evening and 2 pittas left out of order….busiest night so maybe understandable, and when I phoned they found someone to drop them round to my house. Full marks for fixing a problem.

Mostly good food,maybe they need to improve thier take away and pita stuff...other than that very good compare to others..

The service is very slow. The chicken soup and kneidlach were tasty and the portions generous. But the main course was dreadful. Meat was not hot, just warm, and overcooked. If coming here stick to salads. The restaurant is also very noisy so hard to have a conversation. There are many other local kosher restaurants nearby much better than this.

Very good food and service. Very busy so quite noisy.

מסעדת בשרים כשרה למהדין האג'ואר לונדון . מקום נהדר די עמוס שירות יחסית מהיר. מחיר סביר לחלוטין . בשרים נהדרים טעים.

Had a delicious, large chicken salad. Very tasty.

It would be nice to be greeted when you walk in to (an expensive) restaurant. 5 members of staff crowding around the entrance chatting and not one looked up, smiled or greeted us. Service improved throughout the evening but interaction skills are clearly not a strength. Food was lovely, can't complain, they got the order correct and was brought out in good time, but it was very expensive for what it was. It was a relaxed atmosphere but quite noisy. Half the restaurant knew each other lol.

RACIST! WATCH OUT!!! I order on deliveroo falafel in lafda for £6 very frequently from samis. However today i went into the shop and ordered 3 falafels in laffa and was charged £21! I think it was because of my skin colour, because they could tell i wasnt jewish and not part of their culture. I felt very taken advantage of NOT NICE! :(

Would give it five. However, they do not close the laffa and no freshly cut onion.

Suprisingly good - would recommend - not the usual rip off and sour service you get at metsuyan.

It was incredible best restaurant I have ever been to and I have been to a lot. The staff are so nice and funny as well as this they are very helpful (especially the waiter wearing the black and white trainers) the food was on another level and they would highly recommend going as it is gods gift on earth

Very tasty, good value, good service, nice restaurants in good locations.

Very good food, waited quite a long time for the food but it was worth the wait. Ample portions and tasty

Amazing kosher experience located in Edgware. It’s a busy place, so it might take some time for you to get the attention of servers and your order might take bit of a time but I must say, it’s worth it. Food is so tasty and the thought of it would make you drool when you think back of Sami’s. I had lamb in a laffa which is much bigger than your average shawarma. Lamb was so delicious.

Delicious kosher food for a reasonable price

Delicious food, reasonable prices, great service

Excellent food and service. Great value for money too!

First we wanted to try this Persian restaurants because it was newly opened. Look at us now any time dine out ends there. That's why 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ for.

Attended Sami's with some friends who only eat kosher food. The chicken soup with kneidlach was very good although I suspect the kneidlach were from a packet!!!! For main course I ordered salt beef which was supposed to have been one of their signature dishes. A few ultra thin slices of salt beef turned up which in view of their uniformity suggested they may have come straight from a pack. they had little taste and if not for the mustard, red cabbage salad and latke (again from a pre-made mix?) would have been a waste of space on the plate!!! From memory the salt beef was around £18.50 per serving - it would have been cheaper going next door to the deli!!!!

Great kosher food restaurant with a large and varied menu.. Last night after booking a table for two as it was Valentines day the restaurant was completely full and what with all the takeaways they were doing it was a very busy night but dispite that the service was amazing and the food as usual was wonderful.

Edgware branch was lovely. Very nice food and good service

Very standard middle Eastern food done to a consistently high standard. They have also added , more recently, some Indian dishes to the fare. Impossible to have a bad meal here. The staff are keen to please and they really ensure you are happy. Highly recommended.

Not impressed. I ordered a take away and half the order was missing. The food was decent, nothing special. Probably wouldn’t go back unless it was a matter of life or death.

POOR Service. Waited 35 mins for them to take my order, a further 30 mins for the main course, was in the restaurant from 19:15 to 22:10 just for a quick meal. If this is quick I hate to think what a slow meal is like.

Situated in Hale Lane, opposite The Drive. Parking available in surrounding streets, Excellent delicious, well presented Kosher food. Friendly waitress saw to all our needs Reasonably priced for Kosher Would definitely revisit Cannesdid .... surfingsyd

I could not eat my lamb kebab which consisted of chunks of gristle and fat. I had to take it out of my mouth. It was embarrassing. Nothing else to add.

Really delicious food! Really quick service! Would definitely recommend and come back again!

אין על האוכל של סמי וכמובן אין על בעל הבית אדם יקר נותן שירות מכל הלב מעל ומעבר

Easily the best schwarma in London...

Amazing customer service. My dad asked for tartare sauce which they don’t have and the waitress offered alternatives, my dad took ketchup and thousand island, only for the waitress to bring tartare sauce which the chef made especially. Also when my mum’s starter came cold, they didn’t just reheat it but made a whole new one and took the cost off the bill! All food was delicious and generous portions. Highly recommend the lamb starter!

What an incredible kosher restaurant! From the service I was given despite only taking away to the taste of their food. Hungry or not I almost bit my fingers off it was that delicious. The burger was as excellent as the proprietors stated it would be. I will drive out of my way again just to taste their food. Thanks Sami

Absolutely disgusting!!! Would not recommend at all. Laffa came soggy and fell apart, and from what I did eat from it left me with food poisoning- unless u enjoy throwing up and having Diarrhoea do not get food from here.

Service excellent, food great. All round great experience

lovely staff, very tasty food. Great experience. Will come back for sure !

Great service, large selection of delicious food, and big portions. :)

Service for takeaway was a bit slow but food was good as always

Really impressed with the set menu, £25 for three courses.

wish i could give no stars-service so bad- waited one hour for hummas and one pitta between 5 people!! one staff member was so rude! food alright but not worth the wait :(

Yaniv and the team deliver a topnotch service. New menu offers some exciting dishes and includes the classics we've all come to love. Sammi's is a professional operation and a reliable fixture in Edgware. Ordering on Deliveroo for nights-in also super convenient. Well done guys!

Good kosher food just slightly pricey

Delicious food-good helpful friendly waitresses . Didn't wait for to long either for my food

Normally good food but unbelievably terrible service. Placed an order for takeaway. Happy and quick to take money. After 15 minutes asked where food was and was told would be at least ten more minutes. Why was this not mentioned when ordering. Offered to refund my money when I said I couldn’t wait like was doing me a favour. Not even an offer of a latke or bit of hummus while waiting. Terrible service and a waste of time.

Absolutely appalling service. Walked in around 7pm and placed an order for 1 shawarma and latke. Took my money quickly enough and said to wait and they’d call me when ready. After 15 minutes I asked how much longer food would be and they looked and said at least 10 minutes more as they were busy. Out of courtesy it would have been nice to tell me there was a delay and give me the option of deciding to stay or not. Then when they agreed to give me a refund after I said I couldn’t wait any longer it was as if they were doing me a favour. Out of courtesy and basic customer service, it might have been nice to offer maybe some hummus while waiting or as compensation. Basic courtesy and customer service goes a long way to show care but with this service there really was no bother or effort to try and appease or make a mends. Sad. Very sad.

We went there last night our 1st meal out in months and what a disappointment. We were if 3 tables and the service was appallingly slow. Staff standing around whilst we were gasping for a drink. Eventually the waitress came to take our order and guess what so much was unavailable from the menu. We wanted a juice apparently they no longer sell them so why are they still on the menu? The service was so slow 🐌 it seemed that they were busy with takeaway orders and couldn't be bothered to serve the diners. Eventually the food came lukewarm and mediocre.the bill was expensive for what we had.would we go back? No reason plenty other restaurants to go to.

This was a takeaway for 2 couples. The meat was barely recognisable as lamb, was very pale and gristly and chewy. The Laffa bread was good. Salads a bit pedestrian no dressing. Very disappointing, doubt we will return. Need to try a lot harder than this after months of lockdown and review their meat supplier. Front of staff house would benefit from some training in customer service.

Hi good food but waited 30min to order

Overpriced and chicken soup had too much salt. However, the customer service was satisfactory.

Hi we ordered a delivered meal which arrived on time minus one of the two main courses. I phoned and it was delivered 35 minutes later. The food was tasty and ample portion size once it arrived.

Waste of time. Booked deliveroo at 7pm. It is now 8.25 and after having called them - they haven't even cooked it yet. Completely useless. Update: Food arrived at 8.40pm Entire order was wrong....substituted fillings and drink. Half portions. A complete rip off. Phoned. They said a refund will be issued. No need to order from here ever again. Hopefully, the refund will appear... Update: been refunded. 21st February - tried again. Shame on me. Sent wrong item. Promised a refund.

Absolutely delicious. Thats all I have to say

On the 28th Dec . I ordered takeaway food for a friend who was ill she had lamb cutlets with mixed veg and mashed pots. I ordered for her mum and stepdad the 5 meats mixed grill with a portion of mixed veg and mashed pots. They raved about it and said it was so delicious. On the 3rd Jan for my friend who was still sick I ordered another takeaway which was chicken soup with kneidelach, shawarma in a pita with humus, Israeli salad, red cabbage and lettuce. I also ordered charcoal chicken in a laffa with humus, Israeli salad,olives and lettuce. She raved about the chicken but wasn't keen on the shawarma but it might have just been personal taste as she prefers her mum's shawarma.

This used to be my fave take away however currently they just deliver freezing cold, poor quality food even to people who are nearby. The lack of care to even keep people's food hot while they are waiting for delivery is astounding especially during Covid when people are trying to support smaller businesses

Ordered the 3 types of chicken soup , lamb cutlets with Israeli and aubergine salads. Charcoal chicken with Israeli and aubergine salads, one portion mixed veg and one portion mashed potatoes for a sick friend and she said the food was lovely .

I ordered on the 27th Dec a takeaway for a friend who was home sick the following 3 types of chicken soup, charcoal chicken with Israeli and aubergine salads, lamb cutlets with Israeli and aubergine salads, one portion of mashed potatoes and dne portion of mixed veg. She raved about the soups even her two year old daughter loved the soups and she also said the meals were delicious.

Menu excellent especially the chicken soup with knedlah

Friendly, yummy, tasty shawarma in laffa. Definitely recommended - get all the salads, plus green seHug.

Reasonable food. Good service. Specialist, no milk, food

I got deliveroo from the edgware restaurant this evening and it was pretty awful I ordered the build your own Chinese noodle box with egg fried rice and sweet and sour chicken The rice was completely bland with a few pieces of egg added in, an absolute joke to even call it egg fried rice The chicken had very little flavour, was kind of soggy (not sure how you make chicken soggy?) with a weird fluorescent sauce, and it was too dry that it didn’t even add flavour to the rice because there wasn’t any sauce that mixed in with the rice I also expected at least a few vegetables with the chicken as you would usually get with a Chinese rice meal but that was literally it And the presentation was just awful

Amazing food, very clean and modern. Thank you for fabulous service.

Delivery on time Everything was perfect. Well done

It's ok. Food is hot and quick. Nothing to get overly excited about and not cheap, but the service is efficient and friendly and there is usually a buzz about the place.

The most horrific meal I have had in ages. We ordered a takeaway... Shawarma - this was thick chunks of fat, no meat and not fully cooked. It looked revolting Lettuce salad - this is not a salad it is a tub of unwashed lettuce Chicken cubes - over cooked and hard. I couldn’t chew it or swallow it Mixed vegetables - I don’t no what on earth this pot was but it was repulsive I have called to speak to the manager but he’s not there. I have left my number with them and am waiting for a call back

Hendon Samis is the best, the under franchise do not maintain the same standards of quality.

Went to Sam's Edgware for a schwarma. NO schwarma. Sold out. Very disappointing. Rest of meal was good. Service good.

Restaurant has gone down hill. Firstly you cannot go up and tell the chef what you want in your laffa, you have to tell the waitress beforehand. This caused confusion as two people on our table had shawarma in laffa and the waitress did not know what was is which laffa with the shawarma. Also half the food is cooked in nut oil. This really limited my friends options as she has a nut allergy. I have had much better experiences at this restaurant in the past but I feel it's gone really down hill lately.

Six of us had lunch. The restaurant was not particularly busy. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. We all chose one of the set menus and the food, quantity and taste was - well we will be happy to return so what more do you need to know? The lunch set menus are pretty good value but looking at the a la carte prices I would question whether those prices would constitute equivalent value.There was only one minus. Despite the relatively empty restaurant, it took too long for the starters to arrive and at one point we had to ask where they were. One of our party ended up having to leave for an appointment before her dessert which was a shame, although I should point out that the main course and desserts were served in a reasonable time.We'll be back...as I said before.

Normally great service but very dissatisfied with the take away, got new system when you have to order everything at the till even what you want in your pita bread, before the chefs asked you now everything was done at the till and they messed up mine and my sons order I ended with olives which I can't stand and my son chilli likewise I can understand if it was busy but it wasn't go back to the original system b4 more complaints happen.

Excellent food excellent service

Lovely food. However, not much variety for a plant based diet. Perfect if your a meat eater.

Went there with 3 friends for an evening meal. Very generous portions and very tasty. Very good value.

Poor service and burnt hamburger

Wonferful food and service thank you.

Great place Wonderful service Tasty food

It's not bad, but only 3 falfel balls????

Best kosher food in town and such brilliant service... always a pleasure eating here

One of my favourite kosher restaurants! Food arrives promptly and tastes delicious!

I really enjoyed eating at sami's, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Always a favourite in Edgware. Meaty dishes, service can be slow at busy times. Try the meaty soup! More like a meal than a soup

Amazing chicken soup , and good service !

Best spaghetti bolognese , the portions are masive

I love the charcoal chicken. Everthing it's very nice and the food it's coming quickly.

The best food u can ever have , amazing and lovely stuff !!! Highly recommend!!!

Avoid. Had to explain my order 300 times over the phone to a lady who could barely speak English. Thought Phil was Steve? Then the headache getting the order correct was just such a business. Ended up having to speak to the manager who put the phone down as she couldn't understand her own menu. This on top of the last time I had ordered I received the completely wrong order and food was cold and soggy. Shocking and appalling service for overpriced average food.

Went to Sami’s for takeaway felafel. So disappointed that the last two occasions we’ve been for take away the meal has been under par. The felafel balls today were tasteless and the kids could not eat them. They weee burnt and had a very strange taste. Sami’s used to be our favourite restaurant in Edgware but I am not sure we will go again.

There was not sufficient staff to deal with the number of people in the restaurant.. Consequently some of the food was not hot enough. Also a lamb cutlet which was served was so hard that my friend could not get her knife into it. When she complained they took it away and then appeared to bring back the same cutlet turned over.They then gave her a different meal but by that time the rest of us had finished eatiing.

Good food, bright and nice interior. Friendly staff. My experience of the place is mainly if using it as a place to buy take away food from and eat it at the front of house designated tables.

Sami’s is the best Excellent food good value and great service headed by the one and only Tabitha! Highly recommend

Decent food certainly won't blow you away

Lovely meal. Helpful staff with menu options. I have allergy issues. They understood my problems and came up with suggestions.

Service was wuick and efficient, portions not as big as I expected, very tasty and still good value.

Only eat here if you are kosher. Food is bloody awful

Great food and great service! Thanks for coming to Edgware.

Food is great, owner is a rude, just on his phone. Gives a poor reputation. Staff are nice

Good food and very good service
