From a kitchen in Beirut to a truck on the streets of Detroit to a name people line up for. This is how the original crispy shawarma became #SamiStyle.
A family recipe and a love of shawarma the way it’s meant to be: crispy, generous, made with pride.
Sami parks a food truck on the streets of Detroit. The line forms. The toum becomes legend.
Videos of the crispy chicken shawarma blow up. #SamiStyle is born and the crowds get serious.
Storefronts open across Michigan, and franchising takes the movement to new cities nationwide.
Sami grew up in Beirut, where shawarma wasn’t fast food. It was family, hospitality, and pride on a plate. When he brought those recipes to Detroit, he refused to water them down. Instead he added his own twist: a shawarma crisped to a shatter, a garlic toum people now drive across state lines for.
The vision was never one truck. It was to take an authentic Lebanese experience national, to put “Amo” (uncle) on the corner of every city, welcoming you like family. We’re just getting started.
