Food was OUTSTANDING! Every bite was and explosion. It was served warm and fresh and quickly. Can't wait to come back.
I love Sameem's. Their food is fire and everyone that I have gone with loves it. Everything is tasty and delicious. I had Sameem cater a wedding event of mine and have gone to the restaurant on a number of occasions and thoroughly enjoy the food every time. The staff is so knowledgeable and kind. I can't wait to go back!
It was good! Very unique experience. Food is kind of a blend of middle eastern and Indian and a bit of south east Asia. Not a very fancy place, in fact I was a bit confused when I entered the door. But the food was definitely with it. Street Parking is free after 5 on Friday night. Service was fast but they used disposable cups.
Sameem's is an unassuming establishment that focuses its energy on food. Enticed by the divine smells that met us at the door, we ordered a spread - the Mid-Eastern feast, the chicken karahi, lamb kabob, chicken teekah masala - and everything was fantastic. I do wish the spice level was customizable; not a deal breaker though and I'll definitely be back. If you want a really delicious meal, this no-frills restaurant is for you.
I love Sameem!! I first tried their food when they had a pop up in my office building. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful!! The food was delicious. Strong flavors and a great variety! I enjoyed it so much that I decided to go check out their restaurant. We had no trouble getting a table and the service was good. I don't believe they have a parking lot, but street parking was not difficult to find. Everything on their menu is delicious and I cannot wait to keep trying new dishes!! Highly recommend
Driven to Sameem after realizing there's no real Afghan food in Los Angeles, their offering of some of the traditional dishes is what made my trip to St. Louis truly great. Sameem is a low-key but popular place for Afghan, Indian and Pakistani style dishes, much of which reflects traditional Mughlai cuisine. Lamb Qabelli Pulao - this is easily my favorite Afghan dish because it boasts the usual pulao characteristics that includes fluffy basmati rice with a great aroma (unlike biryani, which can be peppered to hell), and in this case a lamb shank that melts right off the bone. The two are cooked together and steamed up to provide a fluffy disposition that can only be contrasted with the carrots and raisins that define quabelli pulao. I do think you'll find that the carrots and raisins are put on haphazardly, but the core taste profile is definitely here. The oil on the rice will leave you savoring for more as you mix ingredients to dish out a savory meal. I would certainly come back, likely 30 minutes before closing, or better yet at least an hour as they can close early. Would I order the same dish over and over? You bet.
