Sam's Cafe Geelong

Lovely old style vibe, great falafel wraps. Just wish they would take me seriously when I ask for extra chilli super hot! Best in Geelong by a long way.

At 206 Moorabool Street you will find one of the most iconic institutes in Geelong, Sam's Cafe. From midday onwards there's a steady stream of hungry loyal customers snaking their way out onto the footpath awaiting their delicious shawarmas and yes I'm one them. Spiced lamb mixed with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and tabouleh with garlic sauce all wrapped up in flat bread and toasted until golden and crispy. My first taste of this deliciousness fell into my mouth back in 90s and I can honestly say they still taste the same. Do your taste buds a favour and get a shawarma. Bloody delicious. Oh and their crinkle cut chips with a decent sprinkle of chicken salt ain't bad either from what I've heard.

The best food ever! High quality and unbelievably fresh. Staff are so kind and such a great atmosphere to have lunch! Highly recommend this place my favourite in geelong!

Great falafel wraps. Sometimes a bit over-lettuced and mean with the falafels, that's why I give only four stars. Still the best in Geelong.

Fabulous food, George and his family are the nicest people, they remember all their regulars

This is one of the best meat Shawerma's I've had. I'm in Geelong for a short visit and I've tried it today. The meat was of good quality tender and tasty and the bread was just superb, crunchy and warm.highly recommednded and I hope I can get some more before I return home.

Great little place,

Food is AMAZING, good honest family business that care and it shows…

Very warm and welcoming and it’s Lebanese people making traditional Lebanese street food, can’t go wrong…

Wish they were open for dinner…

Yulla this was an AMAZING shawarma.

Most delicious fresh Middle East food and wonderfully energetic people. Top spot in town for lunch

I have tried the lamb shawarma roll, I would confidently say it's the most authentic shawarma roll I have ever had in Victoria. It reminds me with the shawarma back in the Middle East. Great family business and lovely staff. Keep it up guys!

I can describe this Cafe in 2 words Z
SO DELICIOUS Sam and the staff are also really nice ️

When I lived in Geelong over 10 years ago I used to frequent Sam's Cafe on a regular basis for their amazing Shawarma's. My husband and I recently moved back to Geelong and I was very excited to see that Sam's Cafe was still in business, with George at the helm. My first Shawama after 10 years was just as I remembered them - delicious. No kebab comes close. Looking forward to another Shawarma this weekend. Thank you George for never straying from the recipe and quality. Like they say, "when it's not broke, don't fix it".

Shawerma is good, falafel is very tasty and the staff and the owner are very welcoming and friendly, I liked it.

Today I tried my first lamb shawarma. I am more familiar with kebabs, which is what I compared it to. It is a little bit different to a kebab and may be superior. The meat was much better quality than what you get in a kebab and the vegetables were crispy, instead of soggy. The spices were vibrant and the garlic sauce was punchy without making the bread soggy. I loved it. If you're going for tasty fast food, this may be one of the healthier options.

One of Geelong’s best kept foodie secrets! This is like walking through a time vortex into the 1980’s - in the best possible sense! The food is fantastic and the staff are always friendly. Now if only they were open at night!
One of Geelong’s best lunch time spots!
