"Sami’s Astoria location is one of our favorite Afghan restaurants, and we support the spread of their kebab gospel as far as it will go. For now, that’s just this second, smaller location in LIC. The lamb and beef kofta skewers, borani banjan, and tangy leek aushak are just as good as at the original spot, but there’s a lot less room for groups in this slender space, and most people come in for takeout. There are a few tables, and if you do eat in, you’ll get to enjoy some fresh naan right out of the oven." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
