    Food

    Sam's Kebab is one of those spots you find once and keep going back to. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The meats are perfectly seasoned and grilled just right, tender on the inside with that slight char that makes every bite better. The rice is fluffy, the salads are crisp, and the sauces tie everything together beautifully. The garlic sauce especially stands out. It adds just the right kick without overpowering the dish. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that comfortable neighborhood feel. You can tell they care about both the food and the people walking through the door. If you're craving quality Mediterranean food that hits every time, Sam's Kebab is a solid choice. Definitely worth the visit.

    Do yourself a favor and do not come here. I was discriminated against and told that they don't upset EBT upfront. This was after I had already purchased something. We purchased 2 chicken Lula's and 1 Beef Lula. The food was also subpar for the price of $25 per plate average. After what happened I IMMEDIATELY got up and left.

    I always come here specifically when my family visits me. We order food to go or sometimes eat here. Yesterday on my birthday they were so warm and even provided a creatively plated long grain rice with a candle on it. I will give the thought ans gesture a 10. They played a birthday song and many of them sang as well. They plated our orders family style and the simplicity of it added a fair of warmth and a spirit of celebration. Thank you to Sam's management and employees for a genuine birthday gesture. I sure Will come back for more of your delicious food. And oh the couple who was with me yesterday are from Washington, DC who were just in town. Their daughter who is a doctor works at the white house and they told me they will be at your place when in town..Thanks again!

    Pork ribs plate !

    Lately been going.to Van Nuys and l saw this guy grillling on the sidewalk and it smelled so good , that l decided to have lunch here , and believe it was sooooooo good ,all meats including pork ribs, beef, chicken ,lamb ,fish ,etc are grilled with charcoal , price not.bad for all the goodies that come on a wooden plate , it's a hole in the wall buy the food is just tasty , service is good too ,ambiance little music playing while you eat !

    The kebabs were really good, a street food experience with delicious flavors, the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The inside of the restaurant is kind of dull so my recommendation would be to do takeout instead.

    Grilled Trout plate. Yummy!

    Is the meats halal?

    This place has halal and non-halal meats. The owner is a muslim guy. So, ask him and you will get clear explanations.

    Noticed they serve pork here. Is there lard used for the lula & other kabobs?

    Pragmatically speaking, i think Havana Herbs is an "OK" cuban food place. What you get for the…read moreprice is "alright" in my book. So, the truck is owned by a guy named Herb hence the name ... Havana Herbs. isn't that amazing? LOL. He is super nice and will take time to explain stuff to you if you need some more information. The Cubana sandwich that i got was ... okay i guess. I wish it had cheese. You always get this picture of Cubana sandwiches with melty cheese and there was none in the one that I had. So I was a little bit disappointed. The meat was good, there were 2 kinds. not sure what exactly what the 2nd one was but there was ham for sure. I did like that my order automatically came with Mariquitas (fried plantain chips) That being said, I did not grow up eating Cubana sandwiches and don't know what the hell I'm talking about so If any of you people who grew up eating this can tell me otherwise, please do, i would be happy to get the education. The truck does not have the plates, only sandwiches. In my opinion, you might be better off driving or walking another mile to Versailles, down (up?) the road, you would have more choices and maybe a better experience. But anyway, don't let a stupid "yelper" like me prevent you from trying it out, this is just my opinion, you might have another one! Save the whales, promote world peace. Hug and love one another. Amen.

    After the fiasco last weekend known as the "Awesometown Food Truck Festival" and seeing that Lardon…read morewas no longer on the list for Sunday was tempted to skip this. I saw that Jin N. checked in there on Saturday and dropped him a quick note asking how it was. He replied back with his recommendation that it was worth going to so we made the trip down. The event was scheduled to start at 11:30 and we found street parking a block away about 5 minutes after that. I was completely fearing the worst with the crowds and as we walked into the lot, there was maybe 30-40 other people there. Even when we left at 12:45 would have to say the worst line was 10 deep at the most and the majority of the trucks had lines that were 2 or 3 people deep. The trucks were set up in a "U" around the parking lot with lots of room and tables. There were a few trucks there that I had never seen before and really liked that we were able to talk with the owners. They loved the fact that my daughter was taking an interest in food and asked what we liked, didn't like and what we looked for when going to a truck. It felt like they were honestly looking for feedback instead of just having to throw something out the window to keep the lines mooving (get it, like a cattle call??) The crew from Wholly Rollers did a great job circulating to see that everyone was having a great experience which they should get kudos for! My only regret is that I didn't head down on Friday and Saturday nights as well!!! The next time they have an event, I'll be there as this is how a food truck festival should be set up and run!

    [November 12th event]…read more First off, I just want to say that this was a really great experience. Props to Wholly Rollers Events for putting on a successful street food fest!! I missed the first event last month mainly by choice because I didn't eat so well the previous week so I figured it would be a bad idea to end it with more less than healthy food. My wife and I made it out to this one intending to limit ourselves to mostly small bites. We rolled up at about 7pm Friday and easily found valet parking right next door for $2. Even before we stepped into the parking lot, we could sense it was just the right atmosphere for gourmet food truck fans. Trucks were lined up on either side and at the end of the space with plenty of tables and chairs in the middle. DJ Kino was spinning good tunes. We noticed all walks of life there...from young, hip 20-somethings to families with young kids. Security guards kept things in order and the clean-up crew was very attentive making sure trash cans did not overflow and tables were wiped down. Now, onto the food... Shrimp Pimp: 2 drunken shrimp tacos -- sherry ginger marinated shrimp sauteed and served with, I believe, pickled jicama and carrots on 2 tortillas. Verdict: 2.5 stars (out of 5). They were just okay. Didn't really taste a lot of marinade in the shrimp. Thought the tortillas could've been quick-grilled for a little more flavor. I have to say I was expecting this truck would have at least 1 Hawaiian-style garlic shrimp over steamed rice dish. I think that would round out the menu a bit. The Guinness-marinated shrimp & chips looked really tasty though. Patty Wagon: 2 "Shine On Harvest Moon" sliders -- a ground beef burger with Havarti cheese, warm bacon/cabbage/leek slaw, slice of pink lady apple, bit of mayo with homemade pickle on a toasted roll. Verdict: 5 stars. Delicious! Great grubbing food. I had mine w/out the apple since I'm allergic to raw apples. I could taste pretty much every ingredient. The grass-fed ground beef reminded me of beef I had on a trip to Ireland where they have some of the best in the world. It was perfectly-cooked and juicy. The roll had just the right crispy crust while still pillow-soft in the middle. Willoughby Road: Twice fried chicken w/grilled watermelon and side of creamy mac & cheese. Verdict: 3 stars. Chicken was greasier than I'm used to. The batter had a slightly sweet flavor w/a bit of a kick. The chicken meat itself was fairly juicy and not dry. I don't normally care for watermelon but grilling it enhances the flavor. I liked it. The mac & cheese was less than impressive. The consistency was pretty good but the flavor was lacking. I tasted more of the pasta itself than cheese. The Street Hawker (Singaporean): Fried rice w/shrimp, carrots, peas, onions, a bit of scrambled egg and topped with cilantro and red chili pepper. Verdict: 4 stars. Full of flavor! I couldn't totally place the seasoning. There was definitely soy sauce but I couldn't tell what else. It was slightly smokey. The color was a rich, dark brown. The rice was not quite sticky like most places which actually was just fine. I must mention we asked to make it not so spicy so I'm not sure how spicy it normally is. Good portion for $8. We wanted to eat it all but we saved half for tomorrow. Ahn-Joo (Korean): 3 small, grilled skewers of ginger & soy marinated beef w/cherry tomatoes. Verdict: 4 stars. Great flavor! The tomatoes complemented the beef perfectly. A few of the beef pieces were a tiny bit chewy--seemed to have a bit more fat. Other than that, great snack! Mango Tango: Peach Italian ice. Verdict: 5 stars. Texture was just right. Actual peach chunks. If it wasn't too chilly I would've eaten it up within 10 minutes. Generous portion for a small size ($4). My wife also had a grilled Nutella bhang w/berries from Ahn-Joo which I did not taste. It's basically a grilled Nutella sandwich w/fresh berries sprinkled with powdered sugar. Looked tasty! Again, I felt like the event was put together pretty well. Everyone seemed satisfied (except for one older lady in front of us at the Shrimp Pimp who had apparently asked for something not spicy but it was still too spicy for her. She later apologized for complaining and the truck manager made sure she was satisfied). I forgot to mention the large projected designs (one for Wholly Rollers, the other snowflakes) on the side of a tall office building next door. Classy! Plenty of seating for everyone. The DJ didn't play dancy, pop music all night. He actually threw in some good mainstream rock songs too which was a nice change. Great job Wholly Rollers!! Looking forward to the next one. This should be a WEEKLY thing like The Brig in Venice!!
