    Chicken Shawarma
    Tara K.

    Ordered falafel chips on my second visit, they seemed a bit over cooked, but pretty good.

    I heard a lot of good things about Amo Sami's Shawarma from TikTok and finally gave it a try. I'll admit I came in with high expectations. Considering the shawarma back home is unbeatable, I get that I may have been expecting too much. It was good. The portion size is generous and the price is fair. I just felt like it needed more toum, and I didn't totally understand the extent of the hype. That said, I really don't have anything to complain about. The order said it would take 40 minutes, but I got it in 15, which was a nice surprise. I ordered using the QR code inside The Canteen. The drink in my photo was from a different vendor inside The Canteen.

    Gotta admit that the hype led me here and it was well deserved. Amo Samis delivers a loaded shawarma with all the best qualities: it's crispy, garlicky, and full of pickles. It was really good (and really heavy!!!) and definitely a place you could come for a rare treat. Fyi you should order ahead because it seems like most everybody's order takes a long time.

    I'm surprised this place actually lives up to the hype. I tried the Amo Sami chicken shawarma, which had chicken tawook, fries, coleslaw, pickles and garlic sauce. The bread was crispy and had some seasoning on it. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. It was bigger than a typical shawarma sandwich and super filling. I ordered online and did not have to wait long for my order. His food truck in located at The Canteen at Fairlane mall.

    I took my team here for a last day holiday lunch before the break. More so the team could experience this place. Ordered two chicken shawarma Sammie's with added fries. One Sammie with less pickles. $39.58. Food was quick to come out. The fries are good. The sandwiches are quite long, smothered in garlic sauce too.

    This is the cutest spot! The food court/food trucks are such a vibe! There are about 6 food trucks, an ice cream vendor, a coffee/tea specialty vendor, and sushi spot! I ate at Amo Sami's because "the viral chicken shawarma" has entered the chat! I had cash, so I was able to order at the window of the food-truck. If you don't have cash, you can order ahead online with your card/apple pay, etc using the QR Code. The service was quick, they guys are friendly and professional! I did wait a little for the sandwich, maybe 30 minutes or so--but IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!! i also ordered an iced strawberry matcha from Z's Bubble Tea--yummy. back to the sandwich, YES, it was as crispy on the outside as everyone is saying it is, which pairs perfectly to the tender juicy chicken on the inside! It's like 12 inches long--it's huge--pause. One sandwich could definitely feed two people, or the other half would be perfect to finish later! I spent around $23 for the sandwich and a side of fries. All i honestly needed was the sandwich. The shawarma itself is an entire experience! I also got it without pickle. and they prepared it perfectly. i'm still childish, I have the taste palette of a toddler. I haven't grown into pickles yet. Don't judge me.

    Now that I live out of state, out of the metro Detroit area. I'd kill for an average shawarma, let alone one from the GOATs at Sami! I'm at work day dreaming about the crispy crunch on the outside and the perfectly cooked meat and chicken on the inside... May God forgive me for my haram thoughts of a shawarma. I need an IV of shawarma hooked up to me before I start saying Ope

    Amazing shawarma!! Came here on a recommendation and have never had a shawarma sandwich quite like this. We got the chicken shawarma and the Amo Sammie. First off, this is HUGE, easily enough for two people to share. The flavorful crispy coating on the pita is so delicious, savory, crunchy and feels like it's fried. Great amount of filling - the amo sammie comes with chicken tawook, Cole slaw, pickles and fries. Sauces, pickles, and fries are delicious too. You can order ahead online (recommend) or pay with cash at the window. Lots of available indoor seating and other trucks to check out too here.

    Falafel Wrap
    Abigail J.

    Amo Sami has one of the best tasting sandwiches I have ever had! The seasoning that they put on the outside of the wrap is incredible. It tastes citrusy and refreshing. I had a falafel wrap and it was fantastic. The falafel had great flavor and consistency and there was plenty of it in the sandwich. I also loved how many pickles they put in it! My husband got a chicken shawarma and he loved his as well. He did say that the seasoning on the chicken was great but the chicken itself was kind of dry. It is set up as a good truck at this location and it cash-only if you order at the truck itself. You can scan a QR code though and order from your phone. This is a VERY popular spot- so be prepared for a long wait! My husband and I waited nearly an hour for our 2 sandwiches, which we expected, however the online ordering system had said that we would be notified when our sandwiches were ready and to expect to wait 45 mins. We enjoyed our time in the outdoor seating area in the middle of the food trucks, but when the time approached closer to an hour without any text or email or update in their online system that our food was ready, we decided to go up to the truck and ask for an update. When we got up there, the guy working asked the name on our order and when we told him he grabbed them from the counter and gave them to us because they had been ready. It wasn't a big deal, but we just aren't sure how long they had been done and just sitting there, because we never got a notification. Overall though it was a great experience and the outdoor seating area as well as the inside of the Canteen were beautiful. Very lovely, very clean, very bright and there were even umbrellas at the outdoor tables when it started to sprinkle a bit. We will be back

    A sandwich that costs almost $20 should be the best ever, and sadly that's not the case here. Will not be back

One guy seated at a booth on the phone and two ladies with their suitcase at another booth. Other than the 3 people, place was empty. Ordered carry out. crushed lentil bowl, chicken kafta, two sides: small hummus, small baba ghanouj, large fattoush salad with no pita. $38.13 Food takes about 15 minutes to be ready. Drove all the way back to the office. My chicken kafta looks to be lamb, not at all what I ordered. My large fattoush is covered in pita chips. Had to spend several minutes getting every pita chip out of the salad. It's good I am not allergic to gluten. They shove the dressing packet in the corner of the salad, so you get a bit less, that and the pita chips. Other than that, the salad was fine. I am quite disappointed the order is not right! The crushed lentil soup has a lot of rice in it, which is just filler to me. Has some clumps of something, may be rice and starch? It's too inconvenient to drive all the way back. Do be sure to check your carry out order before you leave the place. The crushed lentil is quite bland, not much flavor to it. Tastes some fennel, quite a few clumps of starch. The soup is more rice than lentil. I could count on one hand how many traces of lentil was in my bowl of soup. What in the world? My husband ate the lamb kafta, since I don't eat red meat. He said it was so-so, but rather dry.

    So I found this spot when I was in the mood for some shawarma and I gave it a shot. I used to work…read moredown here so I probably been maybe a decade ago but it's been quite some time so I thought I would try it again. You come and it's in the parking lot of a shopping center so was free parking so that's good. It's pretty large so even if you don't think it is, when you come in as much more spacious than it seems. The place is pretty clean and they're no issues with that but at the same time when I went there was nobody there and everybody was coming for pickup. So I guess that was probably why it was still clean because nobody had made it here LOL. I talked to the guy at the counter. He was super cool and gave me plenty of time to look over The menu. Even gave me some suggestions. Hummus - so the hummus was really good. They give you a heck of a lot of it. They put it in one of those small fry containers so it's basically spilling out but it's plenty and it's super tasty . Fries - the fries came with a little dark on them so I know they were fried crispy. They weren't seasoned like that but you had so many things to choose from, whether it be the hummus or the garlic sauce or whatever to dip them in. They got plenty of flavor on deck . Grape leaf wraps - so you get a couple of these when you get the combo platter. They're tender and moist and filled with rice and really good when they're super hot. I think I might have eaten these in the car LOL . Chicken shawarma - the chicken shawarma was really good. They give you plenty of it and they give you the pita to wrap it in. They have a sauce that goes with it but you don't even need the sauce because the chicken is already tender and flavorful . Meat shawarma - the meat shawarma was pretty good. I think that the chicken was better but the meat one was really good. It was super tender and very juicy . Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were basically hunks of vegetable LOL. You got probably almost a whole onion grilled and you got a whole bell pepper grilled and then you got a bunch of carrots grilled. Everything was large. It wasn't like you got chopped vegetables or something like that ... But everything was still good. Salad - I had all the food that I listed and I didn't even really want the salad. It came with its own vinaigrette dressing, which was still really good but at the same time it was almost too much. The salad was very fresh and had the typical toppings that you would expect from a Mediterranean spot . Overall this spot was the best choice I made all day I think. You can get all this stuff for under $40. What better deal is that? I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area for sure !

The owner was running the counter and he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly proud of the place. I went for the combo and I was greeted with fresh bread, soup, and their excellent garlic sauce, which deserves its own shoutout. I was dipping my pita with it and even added it to my rice. The soup was a pleasant surprise: a chicken‑forward broth with a thicker texture. The mixed shawarma (lamb and chicken), was enormous! Easily enough for two meals. The meat was tender, well‑seasoned, and came out fast. Between the value, the portions, and the hospitality, this feels like a hidden gem.
