Samesa is a vibrant restaurant and catering service co-founded by brothers Eli and Max Sussman in 2015. Drawing inspiration from their culinary roots in Metro Detroit and the iconic Halal food trucks of New York City, Samesa provides a unique dining experience centered around delicious chicken shawarma, complemented by a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. The name "Samesa," pronounced SAH-ME-SAH, symbolizes the bond of family, combining elements from the brothers' names and their mother’s heritage.

The brand is deeply committed to community support, offering reduced-cost or free catering for nonprofit organizations and participating in food relief initiatives. With a focus on responsible business practices, Samesa ensures fair employee wages and sources organic, local ingredients. Both Eli and Max bring impressive culinary credentials, having worked at prestigious restaurants and authored multiple cookbooks, resulting in a powerful yet accessible dining experience.
