ok... so i am a foodie like prob most of u reading this. And this is just my honest opinion. this place has been blowing up my Instagram so I thought I'd give it a shot. I stopped in to the BP gas station at 15 and mound and it was closed so I was bummed for a short moment until the gas station attendant told me there was another one down the street at 11 mile and mound which was open so the roller coaster began and my elation was back up Rolled into the next BP gas station, where to my delight there was a large sign that said Amo sami's Shawarma Long story short I ordered and about 20 minutes later my food was ready, and I went out to my car with great expectations First bite... Wow, there's no flavor and it taste burnt, but it looked really good so I kept on eating and it never got better just continued in a downward spiral like a Nine Inch Nails album. My tongue hates me Absolutely no flavor at all other than burnt tortilla and overheated oil This was the furthest thing from Shawarma. I have ever had ended up discarding the last few bites as I did give it a chance and tried to eat the whole thing, but it was absolutely disgusting. No garlic flavor no seasoning flavor to speak of at all I mean, give it a shot. I'm not telling you not to eat it as their Instagram campaign was very inviting. I had just left church and we had communion and the communion wafer was 10 times more flavorful Kind of upset that I paid almost $20 (including tip) for a single Shawarma wrap so unfortunately I cannot recommend. The one star I did give was for the kid at the counter. He was very friendly. read more

amo Samis Shawarma - gross food - Lebanese Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Okay, backstory is i saw this place pop up on Facebook and I live in Grayling Michigan. The food here isnt worth bragging about unless you cook it at home for yourself. My wife and I are accustomed to taking a trip to enjoy good food. I had a long weekend and said lets do this. 196 miles to get there in snowy conditions. No big deal I can drive in snow, it is Michigan of course. The same chicken shawarma was excellent. 10/10 fresh, hot, chicken was sealed well and tender. The salad was just a salad to me but the wife enjoyed it very much. The only thing I didnt realize was it was inside a gas station. Being ive done a bit of traveling it didnt detour me. I look forward to the next time I find myself in that area. It will definitely be a stop I make again. read more

beef one is good and chicken one is okay. 3.5/5 would go again. Its inside a gas station

I can't believe I'm giving this place 3 stars. We are from Chicago and when I told my kids we're going to Michigan, they all said we have to go to Amoo Sami. Everyone hyped up this place and I guess the standards were very high. The sandwich is good, but the garlic sauce is soooo disappointing. No flavor, no garlic smell, nothing. That really ruined it for me. The oil they fried the sandwich with is old tasting. You know when you over fry oil? Well, that flavor was into my sandwich. Places like this become so popular, they forget to watch out for quality. I will give it to them that the sandwich was good, but nothing special. I think everything is lacking that special flavor, pizzaz. I will note my kids loved it. So maybe I'm picky, but really I'm not. I've had many chicken shawarma sandwiches and this was just basic. read more

amo Samis Shawarma - Lebanese Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

I am shocked to be giving this place a 3, after all the amazing social media reviews, but I honestly can't give it more than that. We traveled a bit to get here (it's in a gas station), because we wanted to see what people were raving about. The gentleman at front was very nice. We ordered and they told us we would get a text when it was ready, which we did. It took awhile, which is fine, but there is really no place to wait, so we waited in the car. The sandwiches were okay... we tried the meat and chicken, and both were okay. Nothing I would crave or go back for. The chicken was better than the beef. The beef was very chewy. For the price, I didn't think the quality was there at all. The sandwiches are big though. With so many options on that side of town, we can't see ourselves going back again. read more

amo Samis Shawarma - Lebanese Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Honestly, I have had a lot of shawarma and this didn't really stick out to me. What did stick out to me was their amazing customer service. This review is primarily based on the taste of food. Toom was good but was missing the acidity. Chicken was well seasoned but somehow lacked the classic shawarma flavor. Pickles were not good at all. Please choose a different pickle. Did not taste any of the pomegranate molasses. This is a very mid shawarma. You can definitely get a better option in metro Detroit or Dearborn. read more

amo Samis Shawarma - The Chicken Shawarma Sami - Lebanese Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Hands down best Shawarma place! i'm not even a shawarma person but it was amazing! my husband says out of all the shawarmas he's had this is the best by far! read more

Beef Shwarma Sami & Chicken Shwarma Sami... don't pass on either.. Might be one of my ultimate favorite shawrmas yet. All sandwiches we had were amazing, closest to back home flavor as it could get. The portions were pretty generous. So glad we have this amazing Shawrma option closer to our place, vs driving to Dearborn. Beyond Highly recommend, will be back soon no doubt. read more

Top 3 shawarma I ever had. Do not sleep on this spot. Fast Delicious Fresh. They season the pita and it makes every bite that much tastier. I read more

The shawarma was good, bigger than most places, but after all the hype I saw on TikTok, maybe I was expecting too much. I liked the crisp wrap, but I ordered extra garlic sauce and pickles and there wasn't much of either on mine. I was also disappointed to find the chicken a bit dry and lacking flavor. Maybe I just hit them on a bad day because all I'd heard previously was rave reviews. But my experience was underwhelming. Might give it another try in the future read more

Great find! Samis way shawarma was fantastic- pro tip, call ahead- it's about a 20 min wait during lunchtime.

So unnecessarily expensive for such a small sandwich. Was excited to try but everything is an up charge

About a century ago, my ancestors got on a slow boat from Syria and made their way to America. I'm now convinced the entire journey was destined so that I could one day experience these sandwiches. I've been to Amo Sammi's twice now, and both visits have been absolutely outstanding. On my first trip, I ordered the Beef Shawarma Sammie and it was hands down the best shawarma I'd ever had. That remained true... until today. Today I went with the Sujuk Sammie and I'm running out of superlatives. Simply incredible. Every single bite is packed with flavor. They brush the pita with marinade before grilling it, giving it this absolutely perfect texture and an unreal depth of flavor that I've never experienced anywhere else. I'm fully convinced that every other shawarma spot in Michigan is now competing for second place. Now, here's the thing: Amo Sammi's is located in a BP gas station. Do NOT let that deter you. Honestly, it just adds to the magic that something this otherworldly good can come from a literal hole in the wall in the back of a gas station. The service is fantastic too. I've chatted with the manager on both visits and he's super cool - genuinely eager to make sure you're happy with your order and clearly proud of what they're serving. Our sandwich was ready in about 7 minutes. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and go. You won't regret it. read more

Horrible shawarma, both beef and chicken super dry, garlic sauce flavorless, wrapped with so many layers of bread, very expensive compared to other great places and shawarmas. Will never be there again. read more

Holy cow! I'm not sure what they coat the outside of their pitas with, but it's awesome. I needed to get some lunch and this is in the area, so I ran over. It's a small counter in the back of the BP station, so you can get some snacks while you're waiting. I got a chicken shawarma wrap, the meat is tender and good Persian pickles and toum. But the outside is the star of the show. It seems like it's dipped in something and some herbs, grilled, and it's out of this world. I will definitely be back and may try some other options (or maybe not). read more

Excellent! I've been seeing lots of reviews & posts about this place, and today was the day to give it a try. It did NOT disappoint. I ordered online to avoid the long wait times I'd heard about and that's the way to go if you can. I ordered the chicken Shawarma and customized it with all the goodies I like. Pickled turnips, lettuce, onions, extra crispy. When I got back to my car I couldn't wait to tear into it. It was so flavorful! Every bite was a perfect marriage of all the ingredients. The crispy pita just took it to the next level! Going to try the beef one next. Service was great, all the workers were friendly and seemed to take pride in their product. Which they should. Just Go! read more

Outstanding shawarma. The bread is remarkable . The chicken is So delicious. You really feel you finished the sandwich and you can eat more and more read more

I rate 3 stars mostly due to price and portion of salad it's outrageous to charge almost $12 for a basic small salad with no meat and basic oily dressing ... i feel i could have made this at home i didn't know chicken was $4 more and not included at that's price Theres a chicken Shawarma option of $7.99 for the premade grab and go... to have a fresh made one it's $10 and extra for them to grill the outside with their special sauce... the fresh made shawarma i tried was tasty and pretty big. End of the day leaving spending $24 at a gas station for 2 items i didn't fully enjoy seems like robbery when i get the same thing at my regular restaurant with chicken in salad, pita and garlic too for less read more

amo Samis Shawarma - Lebanese Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Worst Shawarma sandwich I've ever had. I will never be back at any of the locations. It didn't even taste like the classic shawarma sandwich don't let the five star reviews here for you totally not five star. If you know what a shawarma sandwich taste like that's not it. read more

Amo samis it was the worst food ever the bread was soggy everything about it was terrible terrible food. I don't know how people eat this garbage. I'm not a person like to talk about food like this, but that one was really really terrible. I am sorry guys this food was terrible and customer service was garbage special that bald guy behind the counter. The owner Sammy he was very very rude to my wife and me picking up two sandwiches $27. I get slapped with it. He gives the wrong order to her. Doesn't apologize to her. I will never go back again. I don't know what is the fuss about I'm telling you guys not to eat over there. It's terrible and they are racist to my wife and me. read more

Came out for New Years and they didn't disappoint. I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. On the first day we got the chicken and beef Shawarma. Chicken was AMAZING, will be coming back forsure. The beef through me off a little because of the turnips, but it still had good good flavor. read more

Amazing !! Sami's Chicken shawarma is hands down the best !! Don't sleep and while you're there try the Dubai ice cream!!!

This is hands down the best shawarma I've had in the United States, and even competes with most shawarmas I've had overseas. I went to thank Sami at the end and he was very humble and appreciative. He even offered me a free drink as an act of gratitude! read more

I've had a lot of chicken Shawarma's but this was easily one of the best if not the best. Simple but done right. I will definitely be returning. read more

This place has the best shawarma ever!!! Don't be fooled by it being in a gas station, the quality is top notch. The workers are always so friendly, especially the one that's always making the food. My favorite is the chicken shawarma, make sure to order it Sami's style, it has sooo much flavor and is the best shawarma you'll ever try. I told my friend about it too and she's obsessed as well! She prefers the beef shawarma (Sami's Style), that one has a lot more spices. I also tried the buffalo chicken wrap and it's okay, but the shawarma is the best! This is my go to for shawarma and I'll never go anywhere else! read more

This is the absolute GOAT Shawarma in the area, that includes dearborn, dearborn heights, detroit ipsofacto the best Shawarma in America. I don't know what this guy Sami is putting on the outside of his bread to get it so tasty, crispy, and delicious but it should be considered an addictive substance. The guy doesn't miss.

I have yet to try it, I drove there on a Saturday after work. I was extremely disappointed. The lady said they weren't taking anymore orders.. it was 3:05 and they don't close until 4:30. I understand they are extremely busy do to tik tok and stuff. But I was upset I drove 40 minutes to try a shawarma and wasn't able to. :( I feel atleast wait an hour before closing it wasn't even 3:30 yet read more

Great service and the most amazing food. The fattoush shawarma NEVER misses! Highly recommend

Awesome food! We have been here several times since finding them on yelp. The beef Sharma Sami style is addicting and the quesadillas is great too! The only downside about the place is they are hard to find if you don't look inside the BP gas station. Fortunately we found him on yelp and now keep going back. read more

amo Samis Shawarma - Bbq quesadilla - Lebanese Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

I've stopped here about a dozen times and no question, the food is good. 5 stars for the food. The problem is the posted morning hours of 7:00 AM is a misnomer. I've stopped here several times between 7 and 7:30 AM and the lights are out and no food in the case. I've been able to get something at 8:00 AM but often walked out without anything prior. I'm hoping you can honor your posted hours or fix them to be more accurate. I'm happy to delete this review if you fix it. I really wish you would have answered my Yelp question posted a month or two ago to confirm your hours. read more

Great wraps. Unique flavor. I love the places that press or toast the pita. Must try....

The best shawarma sandwich in town and it's out of A gas station ladies and gentlemen! So so good but you have to get it Sami Style! The beef was better than the chicken to me but everyone has there own palate. The meat was unreal and the sauces will explode with flavor! I have to say it was great and I guess you pay for what you get because we paid 45bucks for 3 sandwiches And A salad with fries. For all my friends and followers this is the place and get it Sami style! read more

If you've had one chicken shawarma sandwich, you've had em all, right? Wrong. I saw some posts on Instagram for Sami's food truck in Wayne and it looked too good to not give it a try. It's up there with the best I've ever had. It starts right from the first taste of the grilled spiced wrap - before you even get into the guts of the sandwich. The char on the wrap sets it apart from any other shawarma wrap I've ever had. That's not to discredit the guts, cuz they're delicious too. I'd like to say that I'll try the rest of the menu, but I don't wanna lie because that was too good to not get every other time I go there. It will now be part of my regular restaurant rotation. Top notch stuff. read more

The vegan shawarma is better than the chicken shawarma! Definitely try one Sami style!

I'll eat Sami's food over any sit down restaurant. Sami is a cool guy that makes great food. 5/5 definitely recommend

The best shwarmma around, and near here that is saying something. The only downside is their hours.

The Sami shawarma lived up to the hype. Really good flavor , nice and crisp off the grill. Garlic sauce was on point. Can't wait for the mound construction to be over so we can make this a regular spot for work lunch . Just wish they had a place to sit and eat . read more

I just left there. I was so indecisive with it being in a gas station that I drove to three other restaurants and still ended up there. Let me just tell you one of the best decisions of my life. Sami, your beef, Shawarma, with extra turnips and garlic sauce, ruined every other restaurant near me. amazing job my friend I will be back. read more
