★★★★☆ I like the food from this place. Their beef shwarma is really good. I didn't really like the chicken or the lamb. I would def recommend the beef shwarma. They are not greasy like other stores. Make sure you take CASH with you. They DO NOT ACCEPT CARDS. Posted on December 25, 2012

★★★★★ i go to Sam's often. The owner has stated on numerous occasions that his meat is zabihah from a source in Fairfield. I have no reason to doubt him and neither should anyone else. Unless there is information to the contrary, we should work under the concept of it being zabihah because the owner said so. BTW, I come from Sacramento to have lunch at Sam's!!!!

★★★★☆ I am still unsure about Sam's being zabihah. Yes, it is halal on the basis that it does not serve pork, but a lot of the brothers on campus feel this is enough (and with a Muslim owner) to believe that it is Zabihah (two clear distinctions). My roommate called the owner over the phone and asked where his meat came from and he said "Jamaica." Either he did not hear the question correctly over the phone or he did answer it correctly; if there is anyone that can confirm where he gets his meat from, I would greatly appreciate it. *For those that know it's halal: before my suspicion of it being zabihah I did go there quite often. As for the food review, alhumdulillah the food was great. No complaints at all. As everyone else can agree, their Chicken Sub is the best on the menu. I would really like to go back, pending any confirmation of their zabihah meat. Posted on January 26, 2010

★★★★☆ this is a halal restaurant - I also asked the owner if it is halal and they said yes, it is. If there is no evidence to say that it isn't halal, we have to go by their word. The food is really good, but it is expensive. Only good halal place in Davis! Posted on June 2, 2009

★★★★☆ I have talked to Sam's employees myself, and they claim that it is Zabihah halal. They say that their meat comes from a seller in Fairfield. Any confirmation of this would be appreciated. The consensus around the town is that it is halal, and the food is a lil pricey but worth the money! Posted on March 6, 2009

★☆☆☆☆ I called and confirmed and unfortunately they do not serve Zabihah. When earlier I had inquired whether it was Halaal the answer was yes. I guess Bouchra is right about the owner's definition of Halaal being that it is not pork. I should have been a bit more explicit in my inquiry. We had seen lots of people who keep Zabihah go there and just followed the crowd :( Posted on November 14, 2008

★☆☆☆☆ Assalamu alaikum all, When did Sam become halal??? I lived in Davis for two years, and then, their definition of halal was that it wasn't pork. To my knowledge, they don't serve halal meat. Be careful and ask them frankly what they mean by "halal". wassalam Posted on February 11, 2008

★★★★☆ Good halal Palestinian restaurant. Not the best food on earth, but definitely above average. Staff is very polite. Good, wholesome, Islamic environment with walls painted in memorial of al-Quds (Jerusalem). Eat with confidence. Posted on October 31, 2006

★★★★★ This is one of my favorite restaurants ever. Their cheeseburgers and shawarmas are unbelievable, their hummus and dolmas are outstanding. Very friendly people too. Posted on September 2, 2006

★★★★★ I still crave their Burgers from Davis days... mmm... Posted on June 29, 2006
