Tucked away from the frantic energy of Shepherd's Bush Market, you'll find a true culinary sanctuary: Sam's Sandwiches. This cozy, 'hole-in-the-wall' spot is a breath of fresh air, and it's all powered by one man's passion.
Watching Sam work is like watching an artist. He's a one-man army, meticulously crafting each sandwich one order at a time. You can see the love and care he puts into the preparation, and that dedication shines through in every bite. This isn't just fast food; it's a genuine labor of love.
The food itself is fantastic, but what truly sets Sam's apart is the unbelievable value. The prices feel like they belong to a past era, offering a level of quality and portion size that is simply insane for the cost. In a city where everything feels overpriced, Sam's Sandwiches is a refreshing reminder that great food and great value can still go hand-in-hand.
If you're in the area and looking for a delicious, affordable, and genuinely heartfelt meal, seek out Sam's Sandwiches. You won't be disappointed.- Reservation

I don't usually have a high opinion of street food in London as many of the markets that specialise in street food over promise and underdeliver and serve up, IMHO, expensive poor quality food. So I was absutely delighted to find Sam's Sandwiches tucked away in an obscure part of Shepherd's Bush next to the market. Sams serves Algerian Street food and while both the menu and seating is small the sandwiches are generous and very tasty. Having lived in France I went for the Merguez sandwich which was served in Arabic bread which toasted up a treat. The Merguez sausages were good quality and were complimented perfectly by some Mediterranean salad and chips.While it's only a sandwich shop it is clear that the owners put heart and soul into serving up great food at a reasonable price and into pleasing their customers. Judging by the high foot fall of market goers, locals, and the size of the queue I witnessed those in the know already know this a great place to eat for a very reasonable price.- Meal type

AMAZING fish sandwich at a really affordable price, really recommend trying! Order does take a while though (~20 mins) so factor that in when you order. I’d say it’s worth the wait though :)

One word to sum it up: Superb. High quality sandwiches, the best that I have ever had in London. Great and friendly service. I have had the liver sandwich and my husband had the merguez. Both tasty, filled inside a nice round bread that is also toasted on the grill, giving it a crunch and an added depth of flavours. Highly recommended. Thank you very much, Sam.

I have been coming to this place now for almost over a year and it never disappoints one bit. As an Algerian myself this place reminds me of back home indulging into the fresh North African cuisine. Samir ( the owner) is very welcoming and polite and it’s clear he takes pride in making his food for everyone. The food is always fresh and served within a reasonable time span and is full of flavours and freshness. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try some North African food or who is North African and is looking for somewhere to remind themselves of the food from their home. I would recommend the Sam’s special 2 meat sandwich for anyone who hasn’t tried before, with the chicken and merguez. The pricing is also very reasonable and seating is available.- Meal type

Sam’s is tucked away in a corner of Shepherd’s Bush Market making great sandwiches. The minced meat sandwich was amazing - minced beef, olives, chips, a fried egg, onions, lettuce, mayo and chilli in a fresh piece of bread for £7 as of February 2024. I’ll have to come back when the merguez is in stock. Service is friendly, too. Note that they’re cash only.
This is one of Londons best Sandwhich shops. I come here whenever i'm in Shepherd's Bush and they never let me down. The Merguez Sandwhich Is among the best sandwhiches I've ever eaten and the service is always great.

Fantastic sandwhiches at a little counter in the market, well loved by locals and very friendly. We had the mince and kidney sandwhiches, both great, but I sorta wish I'd got the sausage instead.

This sandwich shop is easily the best in town for me. Every time I grab a sandwich, I’m just as excited as I was the first time I tried it. Honestly, all the options are just as good as each other. The staff are amazing—even though they’re always busy, non-stop, all day, every day! The prices are great too. I would definitely recommend it!

We ordered one merkez and one chicken sandwich, which were freshly prepared. We were not disappointed. They were the best sandwiches I have ever had.
Super friendly service, great meat and extremely tasty.
