At Sami’s Kabab House on Vernon Boulevard, every skewer tells a story — hand-selected meats, traditional spice blends, and a charcoal grill that turns each evening into something unforgettable.
Sami’s Kabab House was born from a simple conviction: that the best meals are the ones prepared without rush. Our recipes trace back through family kitchens, carrying forward the techniques of slow-marinating, wood-fired grilling, and bread pulled fresh from the tandoor.
Located on Vernon Boulevard in the heart of Queens, we’ve built our reputation one plate at a time — on the loyalty of neighbors who return not just for the food, but for the feeling of being welcomed like family.
Each dish is a study in balance — char and tenderness, heat and cool yogurt, simplicity and depth.
Every marinade, every spice ratio, every minute over the flame — guided by tradition passed down through generations.
No shortcuts, no rush. Your meal begins the moment you order — prepared fresh, grilled with care, served with pride.
Soft lighting, earthy tones, the hum of conversation — a space designed to make every visit feel like coming home.
From the moment you walk in, you're not just a guest — you're part of the Sami’s family, treated with genuine warmth.
The lamb kabab here is unlike anything I've had in Queens. The char, the tenderness — you can taste the care in every bite. This is now our Friday night tradition.
Walking into Sami's feels like stepping into someone's home kitchen — warm, unhurried, and genuinely welcoming. The food is just the beginning.
I brought my family here for a celebration and they made it feel so special. The mixed grill is a masterpiece — perfect for sharing, perfect for savoring.
Whether it's a quiet weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering with family, our table is always set for you.
