Sam's Indian Food & Pizza in Joshua Tree is a cozy spot serving flavorful Indian classics alongside satisfying fusion pizzas, perfect after a day of hiking.
"Sam’s Indian Food & Pizza does indeed serve both of its eponymous items, with an emphasis on Indian food that includes shrimp tandoori, jalapeño naan, and saag paneer. The pizza menu has traditional favorites (meat lovers, Hawaiian, and veggie), plus Indian fusion pizzas, such as the Panjabi pizza topped with korma sauce, paneer, garlic, and onion. The vibe inside is half-market, half-divey dining room with comfortable black leather booths flanking one side." - Mona Holmes, Matthew Kang

"Sam’s Indian Food & Pizza does indeed serve both of its eponymous items, with an emphasis on Indian food — shrimp tandoori, jalapeno naan, and saag shorba. The pizza menu includes all of the usual favorites (meat lovers, Hawaiian, veggie), plus unique Indian fusion pizzas, such as the Bombay pizza topped with chicken tikka masala." - Krista Diamond, Farley Elliott
"Perhaps you didn’t come to Joshua Tree thinking you’d be indulging in Indian takeout, but after three days of hemp smoothies, you’re ready for something a bit more substantial. Head to Sam’s. This family-run spot has an extremely solid menu filled with dishes ranging from chicken tikka masala and spicy aloo gobhi to shrimp saag. As the name suggests, there is also pizza served here, and while we applaud Sam’s entrepreneurial prowess, we recommend sticking mostly to the Indian side of the menu. Be sure to call in your order early - wait times can get intense." - Brant Cox
