When we visited this restaurant, our experience turned out to be very unpleasant. Food quality was disappointing, some dishes seemed undercooked or poorly seasoned. This lack of attention to detail left us feeling dissatisfied and, unfortunately, led to stomachaches later. On top of that, the service was lacking, with disinterested and disinterested staff who seemed unresponsive to our concerns. We expected immediate help or at least a willingness to address our discomfort, but unfortunately, that was not the case. It is important to note that while this specific experience was negative, it does not necessarily reflect the overall quality or reputation of the restaurant. However, we hope that the establishment will take customer feedback seriously and take appropriate measures to improve food safety protocols and the overall dining experience. If you feel stomach pain or discomfort after eating at this restaurant, it is recommended to seek medical attention, as it may be a sign of a foodborne illness. It is essential to prioritize your health and well-being in such situations.

very bad experience..the people working there can't even understand english properly..i was asking them for jalapeños pepper and they don't know what it is and it was showing in their menu picture and while taking order the guy told ok we will add and after that they didn't add do i asked them can i get ut on side and they can't understand and then i asked for peri peri dip which is written in their menu and they gave me chilli dip amd bare in mind i payed extra for it and again they didn't understand and the chef from the kichen was screaming in hindi as if i was asking it for free ..so overall experience was very bad ..they need to work on customer service a lot.

Ordered food, it was stinking. Staff refused to accept despite me saying I’ll bring it back to prove it. The person I spoke to said rotten food is nothing to do with the law. Definitely a freshie without any clue. Keep the refund I don’t want it but stop selling chicken that seems like you washed it in salt before cooking to mask the stench. All this could have been avoided if u just said sorry sir we will make sure we don’t sell to kids!!! I have been in acquisitions of 150 KFC’s and have had my own restaurants so I know about food.

I will make sure to pass this to the head of SAMS franchise..

0 reviews They always takes forever when you order online uber eats, busy times or not weekends or not it doesn't make any difference for them. Always taking long to prepare your food. It says 20 minutes on the app as it’s on the corner but I always get my food in at least 1 hour from ordering.

Went there today And the staff were very rude from the jump. I thought I have my baby with me and getting through the door was a struggle so I thought no turning back. I ordered a box meal and the fillet burger was tough and rubbery, so I got up and showed the worker and he didn’t even flinch. Please people don’t waste a penny in this pathetic excuse for a chicken shop.

Avoid Sam's Chicken at all cost as they are very RUDE. Their customer service is absolutely appalling. I called via telephone the gentleman had cut the phone on me twice! I was not being rude to the gentleman for him to cut the phone on a customer. Having said that he had no explanation as to why he had cut the phone off twice on me. I'd rather pay me more somehwhere else than going to Sam's Chicken. You've lost a regular loyal customer. AVOID

  • Sebastian Gora

  • Zak Kusners

The food here is really sub-par and the customer service is non-existent. Have given this place plenty of chances and the fillet burgers are always thin, soggy and not fresh at all. Their fried wings are also soggy, but they have a strange metallic taste. Spend your money elsewhere

Expensive small portions. Bad cutomer service, from staff member who treated me as if, im a fool, staff member arguing with me, and raising his voice, in front of other customers. Also got short changed on my refund...not good. Not happy. ... it looks as though sams chicken management got rid of this staff member i have raised the rating to 3 stars

  • john jeff

Popped in today for a quick munch, wasn't too impressed the last time i came a few years ago so i thought give them another chance. Was reluctantly attended to by a woman, no smiles no hellos! Snatched the cash out of my hand and passed the food to me with no emotions not even a "good night" WOW such good customer service!

  • Ja Mu

Whenever you enter the restaurant, make sure you are served by the two gentlemen there. They have more patience and listen, not like the South African woman who gives you prices and offers that you do not want when you want something separately. Very rude woman. Walkout if you see her there.

  • Pauline Thompson

Sams Chicken is one of the most delicious and tasty fast food you can eat in North London. It serves chicken strips, stakes and breast. Seasoned rice and lots of tasty bits. This place could rival any popular fast food joints. If I had to describe the food - I would say "Yummy!

  • Road Harness racing London

If I could give it less than a 1 star I would. Don’t accept orders if you have no intention of fulfilling them. If you sign up for apps that allow this to happen then you need to speak with them

  • arron archer

Ordered here from uber eats , spent £22 on a family boneless deal, I recieved litterally a kfc zinger box meal , in a kfc bag , with a recipt from kfc recipt for £8.79... What a joke.

  • Lea Luxe

Food is descent for takeaway. Staff tend to be angry/moody and tend to give you stale fries unless you request fresh ones, often see them wipe their hands faces and don’t wash hands

  • Jack L.

Consistently good quality chicken for a fast food joint (better than the big chains imo) and pleasant service - it's obviously fast food but considering that, it's good stuff.

Best chicken in London, cooked in rapeseed oil so gives it a lovely fresh taste and not too greasy. I usually eat half my body weight in wings from this place.
