My dad orders from Sam's Eatery all the time, and we finally tried it ourselves today -- and wow,…read moreit was SO delicious. Going forward, we'll definitely be ordering from here not just for ourselves, but also for parties and family gatherings at home. We got the platter that feeds 4-6 people, and it was beautifully arranged with such generous portions. There were different types of meats, grilled vegetables, potatoes, plus rice and salad -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was especially impressive: juicy, not dry at all, and not overly seasoned so you could really taste the quality. The pricing is amazing for the quality, quantity, and presentation you get. We were honestly very impressed. I just wish they were closer to us -- but it's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommend

The rude dude at the front that hit me up in armenian was the second sign that this place was about to be fire. Honestly, the door guy makes it the experience it is. "WHAT ARA?!" Then cooled his jets when he realized we already had a pending order. True enough, it delivered. Best armenian bbq we've had outside of our friends house. Super simple but really well seasoned meat. We ended up going with the ribs and steak. Potatoes are a must. I'm not even completely sure what we ordered but it was amazing. 10/10 for sure!

Total waste of $100. The meat was inedible--way too salty and covered in so much pepper it burned…read more I don't know who is writing these positive reviews, but they are clearly fake. Real people don't eat this garbage. Save your money and go somewhere else. Update: The owner's response is just as bad as their food." "Instead of taking responsibility for serving inedible, over-salted, and over-peppered meat for $100, the owner chooses to call me 'petty' and claim I'm 'competition.' I am a paying customer who just wanted a decent dinner, not a business rival. Your inability to handle honest feedback is pathetic. If you spent as much time in the kitchen as you do making up conspiracy theories about your customers, maybe the food wouldn't be so salty. Trust the 1-star reviews--the owner's attitude confirms everything. Update (Response to the liar/manager): "It's pathetic to see the manager and owner publicly lying by claiming I'm 'not a customer' just to protect your fake rating. I have the DoorDash receipt and the transaction record to prove exactly what I bought and when. I will be providing this proof to DoorDash support this evening, along with screenshots of your insults and dishonesty. We'll see who is lying then. Instead of gaslighting customers who complain about your salty, over-peppered food, you should learn some professionalism. You took $100 of my money and then called me a liar--that is a new low for any business in LA."
