Park in the back! Big spot and definitely good for a family. Kept clean and service is prompt and fast! Baklava IS REALLY GOOD.I got turkish coffee, 2 baklava, curry chicken plate, veggie plate and a small fetoush. Everything is made fresh and the music is nice. Good portions was roughly about $60 including a tip. For the amount of food and the health and freshness I think it's a good place to go here and there. It's nice because you have leftovers and it's healthy food instead of feeling hungry a few hours after eating.My only suggestion would be for them to lower the prices just a little bit on where a few items can be so that they're able to have more clientele that will come back regularly. This would be something I would go to maybe once a month or once every few months. If they lower the price just a little bit then I could see myself coming more often. But I know rent is crazy food prices are crazy especially when you're doing everything fresh so hopefully the community supports this location! It's a big location so this should be a spot that families How to to eat healthy!Like how about the Chinese food places you can get like a two person meal for 60 bucks I would love to see them do something like this here.

Sam's Pita and Kabab exceeded our expectations with exceptional Mediterranean cuisine with a Lebanese influence and outstanding service. The restaurant shines in accommodating dietary restrictions, handling my gluten allergy with expert care and attention to cross-contamination.The menu offerings were outstanding - from the flavorful beef chimichurri to the perfectly seasoned shawarma plate. Standout items included their vibrant Greek salad and an unforgettable jalapeño hummus. The atmosphere provided the perfect setting for our date night, with a calm and welcoming ambiance despite being busy last night.What truly elevated the experience was the owner's personal touch, visiting our table multiple times to share fascinating stories about his background and Middle Eastern culture. Our server's recommendations were spot-on, demonstrating deep knowledge of the menu.The food was so impressive that our family was eager to sample the leftovers the next morning, and we're already planning our next visit with both family and friends. This hidden gem has definitely earned our loyalty with its combination of exceptional food, attentive service, and warm atmosphere.

Found this location through Yelp on my way to an event in Riverside. We dined in. I ordered chili mango and a cilantro lime chicken plate. It was so delicious!!! Husband ordered the chimichurri steak. We also ordered dessert, it was amazing. Never had anything like it. Im sad there is no location close to our house because this location is almost 2 hours away from me. I dream of the delicious chicken.

I was coming to Riverside for a concert and wanted to grab a bite and found this spot on the way to our destination. It was perfect because we were looking for something healthy, yet fast. We arrived early and had about 40 minutes, so we decided to sit-down to eat rather than take it to-go.I got the chicken kabob sandwich and my brother had one of their plates. Their food is SO delicious and flavorful. It's a pretty decently sized portion as well, so I didn't get hungry later in the night. The food was fast and the service was great! Probably one of the best Mediterranean food I've had in awhile.Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. Great food at an affordable cost!

While visiting friends in Jurupa Valley, we discovered Sam's Pita and Kabob through Yelp with an impressive 4.9 stars rating. Eager to experience what made this establishment so highly rated, we decided to give it a try. Upon arriving, we were promptly seated in the spacious dining area. The staff quickly provided menus and water, setting a positive tone for our meal. After reviewing the menu, we decided to order the following dishes:Family Size Kabab Tray ($72.99) - This tray includes 4 chicken, 2 Kefta, and 2 lamb kebab skewers, as recommended by the owner. It comes with rice, hummus, salad, pita bread, Tzatziki, and garlic dips, comfortably serving 4-5 people. The lamb kebabs were delicious, especially when paired with the dipping sauces and homemade chili sauce. All the kebabs were cooked to perfection without any charring. The chili sauce is a must-try for spicy food lovers, enhancing the flavors of both the meat and rice. The Tzatziki and garlic sauces were outstanding, complementing the meat and pita bread along with the hummus.Lentil Soup ($6.99) - This soup was one of the best lentil soups I've ever had. It had a perfect consistency--not too pasty--leaving you wanting a second serving.Baklava Pistachio ($3.99) - The texture and taste were nice, making for a good dessert option.Baklava Walnut and Dates ($3.99) - This dessert was decent, albeit a bit too sweet for my taste.Italian Cream Cake ($8.99) - This cake was quite good, offering a unique dessert experience beyond the usual tiramisu.Turkish Coffee - Served in a specialized small cup, this coffee was very interesting and paired well with the sweets.The service was excellent, with the owners and servers being very friendly and welcoming. We had a great conversation with the owner, who is extremely hospitable. The family, originally from Lebanon, used to own an American restaurant there before starting this kabob restaurant in America.This is a 100% legit and tasty choice for kabobs. We are definitely coming back and will be recommending Sam's Pita and Kabob to our friends. The combination of exceptional food and outstanding service truly justifies the high rating.

I've been a loyal fan of this local gem, but today they truly exceeded my expectations! The Chicken Broccoli Kebab blew my mind and filled my mouth with pure joy. The creamy broccoli sauce on a bed of perfectly cooked rice is an absolute dream--it's a euphoric experience! If you love broccoli soup, you absolutely must try this dish; it's that good! I'm seriously considering choosing this over my favorite soup from now on! I highly recommend that everyone visit and indulge in this delightful creation. You won't regret it! As for the service, it never fails, always very polite , kind and fast!

Whether you eat there, or order for takeout, their service staff is always so friendly and helpful. The food never disappoints either. We always order extra hummus and pita bread, because it makes for great snacks. Highly recommend this place.

I discovered Sam's Pita and Kabab through Yelp. I was intrigued to try this place because of its impressive 4.9-star rating, which is quite rare on Yelp. I wanted to experience firsthand what makes this place deserving of such a high rating. Upon our arrival at the restaurant, we were promptly seated. The restaurant is very spacious.We opted for the Family Size Kabab Tray ($72.99), which includes 4 chicken, 2 beef, and 2 lamb kebab skewers (we upgraded the kebabs to lamb). It also comes with rice, hummus, salad, pita bread, Tzatziki, and garlic dips, easily serving 4-5 people. The chicken, lamb kebabs, and rice tasted delicious, complemented perfectly by the hummus and pita bread. The Tzatziki and garlic sauces were exceptional, and they even offered their homemade chili sauce, which was a delightful surprise. You won't find anything like this anywhere else. The Lentil soup ($6.99) was excellent, and the Turkish coffee was a unique treat. For dessert, we indulged in their Baklava Pistachio ($3.99) and Baklava Walnut and Dates ($3.99), which were a tad sweet for my taste but still very enjoyable. The Italian Cream Cake ($8.99) was outstanding and unlike anything I've ever tried before.The service was excellent; the servers and the owner were very friendly and welcoming. I believe it's a family-owned business, as the owner mentioned that his daughter and son also work there. The owner's warm and talkative nature made us feel right at home. I believe they are from Lebanon. I've never experienced Lebanese cuisine before, but now this restaurant has become my favorite Lebanese spot.We will definitely be returning and recommending Sam's Pita and Kabab to our friends.

Excellent service, incredibly nice people. After learning all the deserts have nuts (which I am allergic to) the waitress offered to help, and brought me something customized without me knowing. Would highly recommend!
