About Sam's Kitchen

Sam’s Kitchen is one of those local gems that makes Drumheller feel even more welcoming. Tucked along Newcastle Trail, this casual eatery has carved out a reputation for serving comfort food with a friendly twist. Whether you’re passing through town to explore the Badlands or you’re a local looking for a regular hangout, it’s the kind of spot that fits right into any kind of day.

The menu has plenty of variety, but everything centers around hearty flavors and satisfying portions. Burgers are a crowd favorite, stacked with juicy patties, crisp vegetables, and soft buns that hold everything together perfectly. Sandwiches offer that cozy homemade feel but come with a little extra creativity that sets them apart. Guests also enjoy daily specials, which keep the experience fresh and give regulars something new to look forward to each visit.

What really makes Sam’s Kitchen stand out is the atmosphere. The dining room has a casual, no-fuss setup where families, travelers, and solo diners all feel comfortable. There’s a laid-back energy that makes it easy to relax, and the staff help bring that to life with friendly service and genuine smiles. It’s not just about eating—it’s about feeling like you’re part of a neighborhood spot where everyone belongs.

Flexibility also plays a big role in its popularity. Many guests enjoy the dine-in option, soaking up the easygoing vibe while sharing a meal with friends or family. Others take advantage of the takeout service, which makes it simple to grab something delicious on the go or bring home dinner after a busy day. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, the quality and consistency remain the same, and that’s a big reason people keep coming back.

Sam’s Kitchen isn’t trying to be fancy—it’s all about good food, approachable service, and a welcoming atmosphere that locals and visitors alike appreciate.

We ordered the sample platter to start, aloo gobi, beef vindaloo and mango chicken for mains (naan and rice on the side) and a delicious cheesecake for dessert! The food was all delicious and the service top notch! You’d be hard pressed to find a tastier dinner in Drumheller.

Amazing Food & Even Better Service! Sam Restaurant gave us a wonderful experience, and a big shoutout to Harman for making it even more special! Her warm hospitality and attention to detail made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great vibes and unforgettable meals. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I had already heard about the many excellent reviews and was keen to try Sam's Kitchen for myself after coming to Drumheller. I was completely thrilled. The staff were so friendly, you were welcomed right outside. Fittingly, the whole restaurant looks like a typical Asian diner, really authentic. This is where you get the best food. The garlic naan and the fish for starters were excellently seasoned, really brilliant. The spicy chicken was just as outstanding afterwards. It was well spicy, but still so that you could enjoy it without any problems. Also the texture was simply amazing. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely not miss it!

Sam's Kitchen is one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve ever been to! Our server Herman took her eyes off us and always checked if everything was okay. For such delicious food, it was very affordable, and the dishes arrived really quickly. Truly a great restaurant , we will be back !

I ordered a lamb madras curry and butter naan, the curry was so good and the lamb was so juicy and easy to eat! I'll definitely come again the next time I come to Drumheller.

The food had really good flavors and textures. We were from out of town so wasn't sure it would be good, but it was great. Our server was very helpful with selections. My favorite was the mango chicken. It was creamy, sweet, had chinks of mango and chunks of chicken. Mmmm

Many of our friends told us about how good this place is and they weren't wrong. We had a mini feast with our grandkids and we had some of the best Indian food ever!
