Sam’s Kebab By Beck Cuisine

Came from San Francisco specifically for this spot. Best charcoal meet you will have! Portions are huge! All the food we’ve ordered (lamb chops and beef bbq plate) was amazing. We will be back for sure!!!

Absolutely love this place, Armenian kebabs, have the most amazing pork chops, grilled over open flame, everything is super fresh and cooked to order, but the 15 min wait is worth it.

Do yourself a favor and do not come here. I was discriminated against and told that they don't upset EBT upfront. This was after I had already purchased something. We purchased 2 chicken Lula's and 1 Beef Lula. The food was also subpar for the price of $25 per plate average. After what happened I IMMEDIATELY got up and left. I’M NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN.

The meat was good but the rest of the plate was so disappointing. No hummus, no taziki or garlic sauce. The veggies were just quartered. Not chopped. For 20 dollars per plate I expect some sauce or hummus. If they had a well furnished plate it would 4 stars.

Not used to seeing food being prepared on actual wood/charcoal briquettes and it make a complete difference. It was as delicious and the whole family loved it. I'd recommend calling and placing your to go order ahead of time.

Great food! Everything is fresh and cooked in front of you. There is a wide selection of meat and salads. Special thanks for the excellent service. I will definitely return to this place.

If you want some authentic home cooked meals, this is the place. Best Armenian restaurant I've had. Small mom and pop feel. They cook to order all the kabobs right outside using special wood/coal chips. The aroma had me eating before the pics so my plate is half full. 😝 I suggest having the potatoes, they are so good

The food is DELICIOUS!! It is authentic Armenian food. I recommend getting the family platter. The HUMMUS is life changing! I will definitely come back.

Tasty food, nice service, clear and beautiful place! I think you have to try this! This is the best food I've ever tried! I can't believe how this was tasty! I never thought I'd find somewhere that works like this! Good job, keep this way!!! Thank you!!!

Best new find in LA. I was driving in the area and my kids saw a man coming kebabs on the sidewalk. They begged us to go there for lunch and I'm SO glad we did. Dining in is a whole experience and the food is exceptional. You order at the counter and they grab your skewers and cook them fresh. Then they display the food along with salads, dips and rice on long board planks and bring them to the table to be enjoyed family style. We LOVED it and have gone back twice. Our favorites: Filet shish kabob Ground beef kabob Sturgeon fish kabob Lamb chops Potatoes This is defiantly a Lovely hidden gem of a restaurant hidden.

Great service! Delicious food! Always happy after lunch)) Friendly stuff! Highly recommended this place!

We've been in search of a new kabob spot since original kabob factory shrunk down their portions. Sam's has great reviews and is much closer to home, so we finally tried it out and we were impressed! Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned well. My husband and I both got the beef shish kebab plate and the meat was tender and flavorful. Hummus was also on point. We also tried the potato skewers which was good, but nothing special. The only things I would charge are very minor: More lavash bread and swapping out that jalapeno for the more traditional Anaheim pepper. I'm sure jalapenos are just cheaper so that might be why. But the pepper is one of my favorite things about getting kebabs and I was missing it. Friendly staff. Clean dine-in area. Will definitely make this a regular spot for us!

Went to Sam's for the first time today... all I can say is yum! Food was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent, very friendly! Love how they cook the kebabs over charcoal out front. Restaurant was clean which is always good sign! Will definitely be back!

The food is incredible, worth every penny! My kids will eat every last bit of rice on there plate.

I've eaten at Sam's Kebab by Beck Cuisine twice recently. I like how they have expanded the menu to add new good options. Service was great as usual, friendly atmosphere. I will be coming back.

Possibly my first 5 Star review..so I was doing my taxes a block away...and smelled meat or chicken like being grilled..I saw where it was coming from ..the rest is history I'm hooked..love the food and the location is super clean and the service is really good they serve you the food like if they take pride in how good it taste..definitely stop by look at the meats and other items that they grill before ordering..

I got catering for about 20 people and WOW! All my guests were so pleased. The food is sooo delicious! Definitely worth trying this place.

Enjoyed the experience. Great food and even better service. If you are looking for authentic Armenian kabob, Sam's will deliver.

Picked up an order for 20 ppl and everyone loved it and I tried it all and it was as good as it gets. Sam's is the place to get your Armenian bbq.

Here is an example of a family feast served while you are here at the restaurant.. just simply delicious

Went to order food and was told Sam is not here. 2 weeks later I went again and was told the same thing. Sam has become like family to us and was very disappointed to find out he sold the place. The food is ok but does not have the same ambiance since Sam left.

Excellent food, very friendly service. Street meter parking. Not the best neighborhood.

My wife and I were out shopping for cars and we decided to try something new. upon pulling up to the restaurant I saw some gentleman cooking meat out over charcoal and decided to try it out ( as I am a sucker for outdoor cooked food). I ordered the beef Lula kebab plate and she ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap. we are very very satisfied with our dishes. Very juicy and you can taste the freshness The only reason why I did not give this place a five star is I wish that they would serve the food on a proper plate with real utensils

Here's another one of my blatantly honest reviews - this place is fantastic - from the attentiveness of the service by all involved owners to the very good tasty lamb chops - rice - cucumber salad - onion slivers - I give it a 10 on presentation n love my Armenian friends and community Keep up the great tasty food Sam - May all your wishes come true in opening up more Sam' # 2, 3 , 4 etc kebab

Delicious traditional kebabs. You can eat them there or to go. Great authentic cooking and awesome service. My go to spot in the San Fernando Valley. Great taste and great prices.

it's really delicious I rarely write comments if I liked or didn't like something, but this is sooooo delicious

Very delicious food you must be try there bomb kabob's! I always come over for dinner or when I get visitor my family and friends they'll love it . Fresh from grill, so flavorful your not regret it. trust me! Owners of the restaurant he is so nice

Absolutely never recommend to anyone. We ordered 1 lulea kebab and salmon kebab.... And 1 tea because I was freezing to death while we waited for the food, no heaters at all( inside of the actual restaurant) tea was bright after the food, almost cold))) very low quality tea, that never dissolved in that warm water...I never touched that tea. Still I was charged for it. The rice was dry and plain, they brought along with the rice and 2 pieces of meat and super dry salmon exact 2 pieces of grilled vegetables: one tomato and spicy pepper ...oh and tzatziki sauce. I took the salad from my my husband's plate... he got a bonus instead of tzatziki....if you want to be treated like in Soviet Union type of low quality service and food... this is the spot. First and last time here. The brake down of the receipt was not provided after we specifically asked for it. They told us: "you see the price on the screen? Go ahead and calculate it yourself " we left!

Absolutely love this place. When you walk in, the customer service is amazing and they always greet you with smiles. The ambiance in the restaurant is a very relaxing vibe, especially with the aquarium! On the main reason why I always go here. The food tastes absolute phenomenal. The beef with lavash is what I always get, and I always get it medium rare. It's perfectly seasoned and he tomato sauce they make in house is absolutely delicious. They are the only place that does it right! If you haven't checked out Sam's Kebab, definitely treat yourself and stop by! You'll be happy you did!

We love to order from them. Their pork bbq is delicious. Hm the koobideh is whatevs. And their red sauce to go with the bbq is bomb. It's family owned so you do get the family vibe. Try it and see for yourself.

This place is charming. grilling to order on the sidewalk and family working the whole place. I've had a lot of kebab wraps, but the pork ikibir is genuinely special with some sort of tomato mixture inside. It's also a generous portion. Haven't tried the other things on the menu but this is worth coming back for

Walked in and was ignored. The restaurant was empty and two employees were at a register. I walked up and one employee even made eye contact with me, kept his frown, and went back to what he was doing without any acknowledgment. Again, completely empty restaurant. It's fine if you can't help me right away, but at least acknowledge me. Literally the foundation of customer service.

Ordered Chicken Lule Kabob plate to-go for $16. Customer service was great and only waited 15min for food to be done. The chicken lule, the rice, and side salad was delicious and amazing, although I do wish I ordered some hummus or tzatziki on the side to eat with the lavash and plate. Would definitely recommend to others 10/10. Thank you Sam's Kabob!

Came in on a Saturday evening after 8 was easy to read the menu and take my order. My wife and I ordered 2 beef kebabs. Absolutely amazing and delicious, the beef was seasoned perfect and the rice was cooked perfect. The side salad was just that. The beef was mouth watering perfectly cooked no fat pieces and no chewy pieces. My wife absolutely love it! Costumer service was nice very friendly and helpful.

Sams kebab hooked it up yesterday for sure.the party platter for 10 they made for my family was more then what my expectations were. The food was set in a huge circle sturdy metal tray. Nothing floppy . They even said I can keep the tray. The food was so amazing that I had people that don't eat lamb .... Eating lamb and saying it taste better then beef. Beautiful presentation and very nice and helpful staff that will help you carry your food to your car for you. Thank you everyone. Got a new happy customer for life .

One of the best kabob spots around and that's saying alot in Van Nuys!! Great quick service and top quality meat. Everything has been delicious and a huge success with the whole family!

Amazing food - great service- fresh food - love the char barbecue style - will come again

Food is delicious. Service is superb. Came back the second time tonight..and oh i love Tzatsiki sauce (my all time favorite), grilled jalapeno and potato. Goes very well with filet mignon and pork kebab Definitely coming back to try the others on the menu.

Great food and customer service! Their Filet Mignon Kebab was so delicious! Loved their rice and the salad. They have authentic food! Highly recommended!

Good food, good service, nice staff. Location is also very convenient, to go and dine in

An incredible and affordable family run business! Got a catering platter for Father's day! Abundant amount of different meats, vegetables, bread and the potatoes! Potatoes were so good! Will definitely order again and recommend them for catering or just pop in and get a plate. Hummus was also delicious. You will not be disappointed.

This is such a great underground spot, super underrated! Best bbq in the valley, hands down. I've tried a lot before, but nothing tops this. All food is guaranteed fresh, tasty, and moist. The service is phenomenal as well, super sweet staff. Highly recommend.

Best Kebab in LA. Fresh. Testy. Smells good. Family run business. I recommend try. Thank you Sam's kebab.

Hands down my favorite Armenian BBQ restaurant. The environment is homely and welcoming. The staff are kind and gracious. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the chicken kabob (which is to die for). I'm a big fan of Armenian food and like to try different places, and this is for sure the best I've tried. I heavily recommend trying it out.

Ordered the beef lula and pork ikibir plates. It came with rice, grilled jalapeño and tomatoes, cucumber and tomato salad and lavash bread. Everything is good! It's not fast food--they don't grill the meat until you order. Great customer service, great food!!

This place is very welcoming. The food is great the service is great. The vibe is just like the mother land the energy is lit. This place is fire recommend it to all.

Oh my GOD!!! I always pass by and see the old man bbqing. I knew i had to try. I called last minute and placed two bbq mix orders. So amazing!! Everything is so well cooked in to see it, it's saved us a lot of time of bbqing ourselves and overall the taste was just amazing. Thank you so much guys, I will recommend this place to everyone!

Sam's kebabs is the most amazing kebab place in town I suggest everybody come on down and tell their friends because this is the best kebab restaurant I've ever been to and the food taste amazing cooked outside on a wood stove the meat comes out amazingly tender and amazing I give this 1 million stars

Wow!! Just wow!! The food in this place is amazing. New favorite place. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for tasty food!

Saw them BBQing while driving down Victory BLVd and made a quick turn around to pick up dinner. This great Armenian Kebab house is a gem in this neighborhood. Fresh marinated kebabs give you a multitude of choices along with potatoes, peppers and tomatoes (you need to try them all). I got the chicken breast BBQ plate and it was amazing. Perfectly marinated and BBq'd, super juicy & oh so good. I got the BBQ pork ribs for my hubby who was literally speechless eating it. This is now our fave Kebab place in the valley. Does not disappoint and the owner and everyone there are super nice. Can't wait to come back and try their other kebabs - with all the veggies I can eat! Yum.

Very authentic and tasty Armenian cuisine. We got a platter for 5 people. All the meats where juicy and tender grilled in the front of the restaurant on a mangal charcoal grill. Definitely will be back again.

What a great little place. Everything is made fresh to order. We stopped by one day with the kids and got takeout. Everybody is very friendly there. We decided to have him cater a party for us and the food was phenomenal.They went above and beyond.

Literally the best kebab in town, I usually get the chicken kebab plate and it never fails. The chicken is beyond Juicy and flavorful, the rice is perfectly cooked the the pita is always served hot and fresh. Not only is the food off the wall but Sam and is family are always welcoming and friendly you can never go wrong with them!

Went back for more! I had the Lamb Kebab combo all for myself, this time. And, it was still mouthwatering, and the presentation was beautiful! My friend had the Rib combo and it was also delicious and beautiful! This time, we ordered & split the grilled potatoes, and they were pretty tasty. There was no strong smells or sounds this time! We had a great time and will definitely make this one of our favorite spots!

Delicious Tasty Kebabs. Everything was amazing and flavorful. We've ordered the catering options and it's perfect.

I haven't eaten here but I was at some friends house and they ordered it and it smelt UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I can't wait to try it.

Ordered the kebab plate combo and it was really delicious! It was nice and juicy and tender it came with rice , salad, jalapeños, bbq'd tomato and some lavash! It's a new location by my house so I thought i should give it a shot and surely I wasn't disappointed! Keep it up guys I'll definitely be coming back! Btw the bbq'd potato's was insanely bomb I highly recommend y'all try that!

Delicious fresh made food grilled right in front of you! This is a gem in in the valley and I wish more people knew about it. They also cater large events, I saw a couple taking home a massive tray full of food! Please give Sam's Kebab a try!
