Samara earns praise for Lebanese cuisine and consistently good service, with reviewers noting tender shish taouk, excellent garlic sauce, deliciously seasoned potatoes, and fresh, flavorful salads. Meals are described as generous in quantity and well made, with many calling the dishes homemade and tasting authentic. The service is described as superb and friendly, with speed and attentiveness that stand out to guests who come for lunch and keep returning. A strong sense of value is noted, with affordable prices for the amount and quality of food, and a terrace with large umbrellas that provide shade, though windy days can make them tricky and staff are quick to adjust or remove them as needed. Facilities are praised as clean, including restrooms, and parking can be tight, though staff go out of their way to help. Distinctive touches like fast service and a welcoming atmosphere add to the appeal, and some reviews recommend calling ahead for beef kafta as it is prepared fresh from the barbecue. Overall Samara is seen as a standout option in the area and a go to lunch spot by multiple reviewers.
On a tout aimé . Le shish taouk est tendre , la sauce a l'ail est excellente , l'assaisonnement des patates sont délicieuses & les salade fraîche & goûteuse ! Rien à voir avec Amir & les grosse chaîne .
Le service été également très bon. On y retournera c'est sur !!!
The food is so good! You Will get out of there with a full stomach & really affordable for the amount of food in the plate!
The restroom is clean & smells good! The parking space is a bit tight, but if you have trouble getting out the employees will go out of their way to help you get out! Everyone is smiley & the service is awesome, so fast! If you want beef kafta call before so that they can prepare it because it's fresh out of the bbq & it takes about 25 minutes! They have a lovely terrace where you can eat & big umbrellas to keep you out of the sun but I don't recommend those on a windy day since they are so big that they get caught in the wind & dangle around. But once again one of the employee noticed it & came to remove them as soon as one almost hit me on the head!
I strongly recommend, it's actually the best restaurant I've been at in RDP!
Keep up the good work thank you for an amazing lunch with my friend! 🔆🤩
