Samsara - Mount Waverley

Excellent service and delightful food land kebab with harissa cream condiment was juicy, tender and lightly seasoned. My partner's ocean trout which included prawn felafel was the the best meal at our table of four. A slight hiccup with service was handled politely and without fuss. We will return.

Had a wonderful romantic dinner here with my husband. Great quality clean food. Happily catered to my allergies and cannot fault the wine list!! Thank you we will be back

Had dinner tonight with 3 friends first time visit.<br/ Arrived 6.45pm and the place was completely full seats about 60<br/ Ordered:<br/ 1) Lamb Backsraps<br/ 2) Chicken Skewers<br/ 3) Mixed Dips (served as one person's main)<br/ 4) Tangine Slow Cooked Goat<br/ 5) side serve of sauteed mushroom, spinach garlic to share.<br/ <br/ Included: 4 beers, 3 glasses house red, 2 house champagne glasses<br/ Total $188<br/ <br/ Everyone enjoyed their meals very much mine was the Goat and it was just sensational cooked in middle eastern spices.<br/ <br/ Fair value equation considering the quality.<br/ <br/ Definitely go back and would recommend Zomato doesn't let you do half ratings or else would have rated closer to a 4.5.

What can I say other than wow! This out of the way gem is tastefully appointed and the food was downright amazing. Well priced and good portion sizes. My friend and I visited on a whim looking for something a little different for Fri night dinner and we were not disappointed. The eye fillet kebabs, the bread and dips, the trout ... it was delicious. The hospitality was lovely as well! Highly recommend this spot! Yum!!

Samsara must be suburbia's best kept secret. The food and service here is always divine. I take all my overseas visitors to dinner here. Last week, an old friend and I had the entrée of dips and crisp bread, a salad, and lamb cutlets on pearl couscous. These were accompanied by a generous bread basket. We opted to have everything come at once when asked by the waitress and shared the meal. All were beautifully presented.  Over here, they do get that we eat as much with our eyes as our mouths. Dessert, the fragrant and light-as-air custard, was divine as was the Turkish coffee. The chef was nice enough to come by and answer my questions about the chermoula that accompanied the lamb. The other thing that Samsara has going for it is its understated décor, so subtly beautiful. I'd give this place a 6 but the scale only goes to 5.
