"What a crappy week. First Thanh Vi, then Jack's Dumb Cafe, and now Samir's. Uhh...someone bring me a Chipotle burrito before I throw up." - Mike McEvoy
This place basically has gyros, a big Greek salad, or fallafals. The gyros sound like a good deal..and then you taste it. Here's the thing. Samir is a solid dude. He was jolly and giving out mints to eveyone and Mike really wanted to like this place. BUT his pita tasted sooooo gross. It was lacking in meat and it was embellished in a sauce called 'tahini sauce'. As is turns out, tahini is Mediterranean for "tastes like the inside of a camel". The sauce totally demolished the taste of the food with it on it, and all of the food within 10 yards of it. It literally made Mike not want to eat! His eating partner Jordan Collier actually threw up a little in his mouth! Consider yourself warned.
Bottom Line: Feel free to go to Samir's but make sure you bring your own sack lunch.
Value: 4
Taste: 1.5
Intangibles: 7.5
Total Score: 13* out of 30
ps If Samir's actually is good then post a comment telling Mike the dish he needs to get that doesn't taste like a pachyderm.

1) Which one did you get?
2) Tahini is usually pretty good - I like the 'gyro' variety from there the best.
3) They aren't pitas. Pitas are opened to place the food into. :P
I recommend Brooklyn Corner for you guys to check out. It's on the corner of 45th and Brooklyn and it's super cheap for good wraps and sandwiches (among other stuff). Good variety, all under $5, so if you're not full after the first order, you can still get something else cheap for a better price than most other places on the ave. Not a lot of inside space, more meant for a quick bite on the go, but the place is awesome!
