Sam's Sun Sandwich

Wasn't impressed with the gyro I got. The meat was hard on one side and it tasted funny. The neat is not cut off fresh, it sits in a metal container in juices. The side of the meat that was not covered with the juices completely, it was sticking up, was dark and hard, inedible. We did order late in the day so it was probably sitting there all day. The owner and his wife were very nice and I feel bad cause we liked them so much to post an honest review. They were fiery friendly. It's located in Carrick in a questionable part of the neighborhood, I've lived here for over 39 years and never noticed it. That could be because I normally would not visit any of the establishments where the store is located. Parking is difficult. There is no area to eat in so take out only. They do deliver locally.

I absolutely love this place Sam and Sunny are sweet and the food is delicious and reasonably priced

Sam's Sun? How about Fox's Moon?I know Sam but I don't know his son so I'm not sure why I'm doing this review. As much as I love to support family businesses and as much as I agree with every other of you which says Sam is a wonderful nice friendly genuine man, I really don't like his food. The chicken seems to be flavorless Frozen chicken strips instead of actual seasoned Middle Eastern chicken and the gyro does not do anything for me either. The only reason he gets three stars is because he is so nice and it's family-owned.

Had some extra time on my hands in the area and decided to give this place a try since the menu looked affordable online. I had ordered a lentil soup, meat pie, and hummus with pita bread. All three were tasty and cooked well, though I felt like there could have been a little more flavor in the meat pie. However, my experience at the place was very pleasant. I was the only one there and thus had the opportunity to chat with Sam for a bit. We talked about life and family and our values from our own cultures (I'm Indian and he's from Syria). It's not often that I feel so welcomed right away at a restaurant, but Sam's positive demeanor was really uplifting and made my evening better. I really appreciated my time here and hope visit again soon.

Very friendly service. Truly terrible execution of chicken breast. I ordered the Chicken Gyro. The pita was soft and chewy, quite good. The toppings were generous and fresh, with a balanced amount of fresh tzatziki. The chicken tasted as if it had been boiled for hours. It was dry, chalky, and flavorless. I had to throw away the meat on this sandwich because it was inedible. I want to emphasize that the owner seems to really care about this place and his customer's satisfaction. Unfortunately, the food on this day was not commensurate with the level of service.

My mom has been a regular customer here for years and I've been fortunate enough to benefit from her frequent visits. They have always treated her more like family than a customer. The food is always delicious. You can see and taste the pride in every dish. The high quality ingredients and homemade options are authentic, tasty and affordable. I love their baklava and falafel. We have taken their food to several parties and everyone always raves about it. The service is amazing. They are always eager and genuinely happy to accommodate any special requests and appreciate every customer that they have. Our entire family will enjoy being lifelong patrons!

I love love love this tiny restaurant! Sunni and Sam( the owners) are SO sweet.The food is DELICIOUS!I have been a steady customer since they opened!They deliver too! Please give them a try!

Wow, Sam was such a sweetheart! My sister lives nearby and my bf was hangry. I avoid fast food so I trusted yelp to find us some food in Carrick. This shop had mostly 5 star reviews so we headed here.Sam was super friendly and gave us the 411 on his Greek dishes. We both decided on a gyro. It was overstuffed and delicious! For dessert we went with pistachio roll and baklava. The pistachio roll was delicious but I was too full to try baklava. Oh, he also gave us a sample of his homemade hummus..... amazing!!!Sam Sun sandwich had the best hospitality and customer service that I've experienced in a looong time. Please don't overlook this shop. The owner is eager to serve you his homemade food while chatting with you.

Excellent vegetarian meals and salads that non-vegetarians may add meat too! Catering and Lenten meals are delicious too!!!

Amazing customer service. Friendly environment. Delicious home made esthetic Mediterranean food. People should definitely come to this little spot to eat the most delicious Mediterranean food in the ENTIRE CITY OF PITTSBURGH.
