Sam Sandwiches
Five meats fried to order, lamb's liver among them, then chips and a fried egg go on top of the sandwich.1
Why go
An Algerian counter inside Shepherd's Bush Market keeps a short board: lamb's liver, merguez, marinated chicken, a fish fillet and minced meat.1 Harissa and mayonnaise go onto the bread, the meat cooks in front of you, and chips, a fried egg and salad finish it. Rianne Shlebak wrote it up for The Infatuation in September 2024 and put it in the magazine's Best Sandwiches In London guide.
Order this / avoid
- Order: the minced meat, which is Shlebak's pick out of the five, or the lamb's liver if you want the one nowhere else is doing.
- Avoid: asking for it stripped back. The chips and the egg are the sandwich.
What locals & experts say

Verdict
should-visit — An Algerian counter inside Shepherd's Bush Market with five meats on the board, lamb's liver among them, fried to order while you stand there. Harissa and mayonnaise go on the bread and then chips, a fried egg and salad go on top, which makes it a full lunch in one hand. Rianne Shlebak reviewed it for The Infatuation in September 2024, picked the minced meat out of the five and put it in the magazine's Best Sandwiches In London guide. It is one bylined source rather than several, and no price is published anywhere, which is what keeps it off the top rung.
