We were heading to the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch. The restaurant was on our radar from a previous visit to the shopping center. When you go in, it's a no-frills place. I'd say their location is a bit tough since it's in the back corner of a shopping center away from the street, so it's not getting a view as you drive by. We hadn't seen many (any?) Mediterranean restaurants in the area and wanted to give it a go. We went very classic: I had the chicken shawarma and my wife had the gyro. Both came with fries and some pickled veggie on the side. We dined in and orders came out quickly. Flatbread was pretty well filled with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and onion, plus some kind of sauce. Same for the gyro except it had 3 long, flat pieces of gyro meat. Fries were fresh, hot, and crisp. The garlic sauce on the side was quite good... Not something I'd usually go for, but I used it and my wife used all of hers plus what I had left. The location was quiet, prices weren't bad. There's not an extensive menu, so I'd be interested in trying some more of the Mediterranean options. I saw they also have burgers, steak & cheese, etc., but that didn't appeal to me. I wouldn't say it's a go-out-of-the-way place, but considering I haven't seen anything comparable, I'd go back if I was craving some Mediterranean food. read more

Oh my goodness. The minute my neighbor told me there was a new restaurant in the area I placed an order right away. I've always been a huge fan of Egyptian food. I was so excited to try the chicken Shawarma, and the hawawshi, and for dessert the basboosa. Everything was delicious. I cannot wait to try everything else on the menu. Everyone has to try this place! read more

I've been meaning to stop by this place! I have had Gyros in other places in NOVA; but wow, the flavor this packed was absolutely amazing and I'm coming off a cold, so I can't imagine how much better it would have tasted. The bread was soft and warm and the tzatziki was good too. The fries that came with it were hot and crispy. The entire menu looks good! I'll be back soon to try the kabob and beef shawarma. Know this, if you have kiddos, Samaa's offers quesadillas, chicken tenders and onion rings with shakes! Samaa was so kind and knows her food! Great Job. I'm happy this place is in Warrenton. read more

Samaa's Kitchen - Beef shawarma - Egyptian Near Me - Warrenton, Virginia

Stopped for a late lunch today and had an AMAZING meal. I had the Chicken Shawarma, my husband had the Beef Shawarma and they were both outstanding. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I couldn't finish mine because I was full but my husband (who is not crazy about Shawarma, finished mine as well as his own). The young lady who waited on us was delightful and attentive and bonus, Samaa was in the house and asked how everything was. I am so happy to have a new favorite food stop right in town Warrenton and will be back over and over again. Well done! read more

This was my first meal at Samaa's Kitchen, but hopefully it will not be my last. I look forward to returning because I enjoyed their food. I had the gyro, which came with French fries. The gyro meat was in a pita wrap with sliced cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce and the gyro meat had some garlic sauce on it. They make their own garlic sauce. I also dipped my falafels th garlic sauce. I had ordered falafels as my appetizer. The falafels were just out of the deep fryer when they arrived at our table because they were hot. The sliced cumbers with my gyro really did add to the fresh taste. There was also a delicious pickled vegetable that came on my gyro plate. My wife had the Kabob Plater which she said was delicious, even the rice. We had a couple of glasses of water with our meal. Our waitress was very attentive and quickly refilled my water glass when needed. She check on us a couple of times to see it we needed anything and if we were enjoying the food. We were at the restaurant on a Friday around 1pm and there were three other tables of customers, all of whom seemed to be enjoying their meals. The restaurant dining area and tables were clean. I am looking forward to returning for another meal at Samaa's Kitchen. read more

We decided to try out Samaa's based on recommendations we saw on social media. I'm sure other folks may have had a good experience, but ours was VERY disappointing. We won't be back. There was only 1 other person in the restaurant when we arrived. We still waited almost 10 minutes to give our order, and that only happened when we called out to the person behind the counter. The server was unfamiliar with the menu (and mispronounced items). She didn't know anything about the sauces available. And, with only two of us and with her writing it down, she still had to return to the table to confirm the order. Perhaps she was new? Someone came in and placed a take-out order while we were waiting. We overheard their order, and it was similar to ours. Yet they received their food and were on their way long before we finally received our meal. The food was mediocre accompanied by stock frozen french fries. My wife's gyro had only two small/thin slices of mean (about .5" by 1.5"), but lots of iceburg lettuce. It was served dry, so she asked for tahini (and the server didn't know what that was). She was rewarded with a ramekin of fairly flavorless white paste. My falafel sandwich was better, served with garlic sauce on the side, but still rather bland compared to what we've enjoyed overseas. (By the way, if you look at the pictures of food on their website, that is NOT what we received. Not even close. I should have remembered to snap a photo...) Beyond the food, the atmosphere was plain but neat. Our table was sticky, but it was hard to tell if that was from previous diners or from whatever they use to clean the surface (the whole top had a tacky feel). I really, really want this place to succeed, but that means they're gonna have to up their game significantly. It sounds like some folks have enjoyed the place, but it's hard to see how they'll endure if more people walk away as disappointed as we were. read more

This was terrible food. The chicken gyro is processed meat ( not a skewer of chicken breast) and the sauce is mayonnaise based instead of yogurt. The lettuce was brown and just overall a really disappointing meal for the price. Not at all what is pictured on their menu. The young teen ( boy) cleaned all of the tables with the same dirty cloth without spray or water. read more

Samaa's Kitchen - The chicken gyro meat with a mayonnaise sauce. - Egyptian Near Me - Warrenton, Virginia

The chicken shawarma has become a favorite of mine. I've always received quick service and friendly conversation with the staff and enjoyed this spot as a nice, quiet place to grab a bite for lunch with friends. Maybe one of these days, they will talk me into having the baklava. read more

Yummy kabobs, rice, shawarma, and salad delivered right at the requested time. The chicken is deliciously marinated, and we are so glad to have a Samaa's as an option. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in to have lunch yesterday. This is a plan "jane kinda" place. We split a gyro and salad. The gyro was pretty good, too much lettuce, but the meat was seasoned nicely. The salad was mainly all lettuce in a big bowl. Ceaser dressing on the side was overflowing in the container. The two of us couldn't eat the whole salad. They don't have sweet tea. Young lady had just made a fresh batch, so we got it and added sugar and ice to it. Was strong, but drinkable. They don't have music playing in the background, but their 4 year old was listening to shows on an iPad. We had to ask them to turn it down. I always give a place 3 tries. I'll come back in about 6 months to a year. read more

Just had lunch with friends at Samaa's. I have to say the service was spot on. The young ladies that tended to our table were always coming around making sure that everything was ok, answering questions about the food, and just being very attentive. The food was very tasty! Although I have never had Egyptian food before, it was very well seasoned, and the plating was great. They are new to Warrenton and there were not a lot of people at the restaurant yet, but I'm sure word will get around of their great food and the prices. Will be back and will definitely recommend it. read more

Great Addition to warrenton's restaurant scene!! I came in tonight and got a chicken kabob platter and a baklava. Service was super nice and welcoming especially considering I came in 15 minutes before close and dined in (please don't follow my example). They've only been open a week or two but the food tasted like they've been cooking for years. I loved having a healthy meal that tasted homemade and left me satisfied, for a reasonable price without having to cook! Bonus points for staying open past 8pm, it's hard to find places like that after Covid, especially with healthy options. Five stars, I'll definitely be returning to try the Gyro and show my friends this new hidden gem! read more

I highly recommend! The food was outstanding. I went for lunch with a party of four, and the service was excellent. I had the Hawowshi which was so flavorful. I also think the pricing is spot on. read more

Really hoped the food would be better, probably the worst gyro I've ever had in all honesty

Really good. Try it- it's new and different. The food was good and they were very friendly and attentive.

I had lunch at Samaa's Kitchen with a rather large group of people for a networking event and it seated us all comfortably. The service was kind and helpful and we made it in and out in a very timely manner. I really enjoyed the chicken shawarma and will definitely go back and try other items on the menu as a lot looked really good. Everyone else in my group seemed to enjoy the food as well! read more
