Solid Afghan kebabs and qabuli rice with generous portions, but recurring complaints about 20% automatic service charge, bottled-water policy, and uneven service require eyes-open dining.
Sami's Kabab House delivers solid Afghan comfort dining anchored by strong food quality—juicy kebabs and fragrant qabuli rice earn consistent praise—but inconsistent execution and polarized service experiences prevent a higher grade. The warm, light-filled setting appeals to neighborhood diners and Afghan cuisine enthusiasts, though the automatic 20% service charge and bottled water policy create friction that tempers overall value perception.
One caveat: Automatic 20% service charge applied to small parties, plus tip line still present
