    First time hear although I had heard much about SAMAD. My Iraqi colleague chose the food, although the waiter walked us through everything with patience. Great food.

    Our hosts were hostile, and we felt unwelcomed. Started off good, ended feeling as if we weren't wanted there.

    The Samad special Hummus was the best I’ve ever had! My wife ordered the chicken biryani and I had the mixed grille. Both were excellent. Service was very attentive also.

    The restaurant has the decor and ambience that brings to mind Iraqi dining culture. The a la carte menu was priced well within our modest budget - despite it being in upmarket Kensington.
