Nestled on Glen Aber Place, Sama Restaurant is a spot in Colombo where you can indulge in Middle Eastern cuisine. While not prominently featured across major restaurant directories, it has a minimal profile on Zomato, hinting at its under-the-radar presence. This establishment seems to have carved a niche for itself with a menu that includes shawarmas and hummus, among other dishes.

Visitors in the past have had mixed experiences, citing tasty food as an appealing aspect, though noting the ambiance could be more inviting, especially during late hours. The service comes across as well-intentioned but still finding its footing. Interestingly, customers have mentioned an artistic twist to some offerings, like a vegetarian shawarma with fries, which, albeit unorthodox, seemed to leave an impression.

Defined by its affordable pricing, Sama Restaurant offers a value-friendly option for those craving Middle Eastern flavors. However, up-to-date information—such as operating hours or recent reviews—remains elusive, suggesting a need for more engagement from its proprietors. As it stands, Sama Restaurant provides a touchpoint for culinary exploration, but further details would aid prospective diners significantly.

I didn't feel comfortable sitting here alone at night as I waited for my takeaway. The place was kind of dodgy though one of the staff members were friendly sounding.

I orderd a vegetarian shawarma and hummus for takeaway here. They said they don't serve vegetarian shawarmas but the cook there said he'll make it. It wasn't authentic because I found fries in my wrap. It was hilarious. But I liked it. It's not the best but the shawarma was good.
As for the hummus, it tasted like fresh homemade hummus which I liked. It had spoiled overnight though so it has to be finished as soon as possible.

Tasty shawarma and my favourite is the roast chicken served with pita bread, chips a pickled veggies. The service isn't all that friendly but they are new and still probably getting the hang of things.

This place run by some Syrian/Lebanese guys had some great shawarmas and Khabsa rice, the best I've ever had in Colombo. The flavored of the rice is something I will eternally be in search for! They also had a nice collection of pickles that they would serve with the Shawarma, I'm gonna miss that! Sadly they seem to have packed up, and no news of a new location. The guys at the Wafflery next door said maybe they couldn't afford the rent.
