Absolutely shocked with my experience at Samaras. I have eaten there a few times before and know that the garlic sauce has cashews (I am allergic to nuts). So after we got seated I asked for my meal to have hummus instead of garlic sauce and was flat out told that they would not serve me and had to leave the restaurant. This was the most awkward and embarrassing experience I have dealt with inside a hospitality establishment. I felt ostracised over an allergy that I cant help but live with. Why reject customers with a nut allergy when you can instead practice safe and clean kitchen procedures? I have worked in many restaurants that have products containing nuts but there are simple ways (like being clean) to avoid cross contamination with nuts. Another Mediterranean restaurant I go to understands my allergy and caters accordingly. I am very disgusted in my treatment at this place. Would give zero stars if I could as I didn’t even eat anything. Saw someone post that they were great with gluten intolerance, at least that’s something! Can’t say I’ll be coming here again because I’m clearly not welcomed Hahahahahaha
