The food and portions were so good! I got the shawarma plate, and my partner got the gyro plate. It's a cozy place inside; there are some benches outside too! The food was flavorful and super filling! I recommend this place; the owner is very kind and made me feel welcome!
Samir's was the highlight of my Seattle trip! So many options to choose from including many vegan-friendly dishes, authentic Lebanese delights and some very delicious garlic fries to boot! I highly recommend the rose lemonade, and definitely get one of the sampler plates for your first trip so you can enjoy all of the flavorful and comforting food. If the amazing food wasn't already enough, I would keep coming back for Samir's wonderful kind presence and excellent service. I can't wait for my next trip to Seattle, I won't ever come back without stopping at Samir's!
It's no wonder that Samir's one-man-show has been successful for 46 years. The food is fresh, flavorful, delicious -- and cheap. But on top of that, Samir himself is humble, gracious, and just a lovely person, welcoming everyone. What a treat to have his hummus plate drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sumac. And the gyros plate is full of flavor, served on rice and vermicelli, with pita bread and a salad with dressing like tzatziki sauce. The ambience is humble, but adorned with hand painted quotations like "Dear food, either stop being so delicious or stop making me fat!"
