Sami, portrayed by Shaun Toub, was introduced in Season 3 episode "Enter 77".

He was the husband of Amira, a woman who accused Sayid of torturing her once while he was working for the Republican Guard. Sami lured Sayid into a trap by offering him a job as a chef in his restaraunt, Le Jardin Croissant Fertile, and then having his friends subdue Sayid. He questioned and roughed up Sayid, threatening to kill him if he did not confess. When Sayid later confessed to his wife, she told her husband she had made a mistake and should let Sayid go.

Trivia

Sami is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "on high, exalted".
Some of the tesselating arabic patterns on the wall in Sami's restaurant look like a Buddhist DHARMA wheel.
