Sami Ladeki Expands Fresh Flavors to a New Concept with the Opening of Table 89
Local restaurateur Sami Ladeki has introduced an exciting new concept, Table 89, a fast-casual dining experience that debuted this week at 7160 North Durango Dr. in Centennial Hills (Pictured: Shrimp Tofu Curry Bowl).

“Like our other restaurants, Table 89 serves fresh and flavorful cuisine,” said Ladeki, owner and founder of Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill. “What makes Table 89 different is the convenience of fast service; with countertop ordering for guests.”
Steak Watercress Sandwich
An ode to Ladeki’s first restaurant, which opened in 1989, Table 89 serves a wide selection of new small plates, soups, sandwiches, entrees, salads, pizzas, pastas and desserts. Like all of Ladeki’s restaurants, Table 89 uses local, organic and nutritionally-balanced ingredients to create globally-inspired cuisine. After ordering and paying at the counter, guests may either take their food to-go or take a number and dine at the restaurant. Ladeki worked hand-in-hand with Corporate Executive Chef Jeff Moogk on the menu for his newest concept in dining.

“We wanted to create the type of food where families could stop in and order healthy meals on-the-go,” says Moogk. “We’ve worked in this business a long time and feel like this is something diners are looking for in our busy world.”

An array of tables and booths are spread throughout a winding room with touches of a ‘natural’ theme including mimicked grass floorboards, plant artwork, wooden tables and a sleek tile floor. With more than 160 seats throughout the restaurant, Table 89 can comfortably seat groups. Outdoor dining is available on a spacious patio surrounded by palm trees and lush landscaping, with oversized umbrellas on each table.
