Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse

"Old school Jewish steakhouse serving up signature overflowing, garlicky slab of beef accompanied by potato pancakes and vodka frozen into individual blocks of ice."

"The Jewish-inspired menu at Sammy’s Roumanian offers traditional fare such as latkes, chopped liver, mashed potatoes with schmaltz (chicken fat), and a large selection of meat cuts."

"This basement Jewish steakhouse offers much more than many customers are prepared for, including schmaltzy songs, delicious-but-heartburn-inducing food...and vodka chilled in blocks of ice."

"The very Eastern European menu includes saline chicken liver, garlicky karnatzlack sausage and enormous beef tenderloins, all of which are hearty enough to slow down the hora." Full review

"At some point in their lives, nearly every New Yorker makes his or her way to Sammy’s, a nightly bar mitzvah masquerading as a steak joint." Full review

"An experience not to be missed. Chopped liver which will instantly kill you."

"The expertise is apparent from appetizers like karnatzlack, an elongated sausage patty made of beef, veal, and plenty of garlic, with a spongy texture." Full review

"When you walk into Sammy’s, a classic Jewish/Eastern European spot on the Lower East Side, you’re likely to see two things on every table." Full review
