Overall, reviews describe Amir as delivering flavorful, fresh food with generous portions and a warm, welcoming vibe, with many noting friendly staff, attentive service, and good value across a range of options including vegetarian dishes.

Review Summary

Reviews of Kebab & Slice show that the dishes are good, but the service is disappointing and the staff come across as inexperienced and unprofessional. The ambiance is average and seating appears visibly dirty, reflecting older premises that could benefit from better maintenance. While the restaurant delivers solid flavors, improvements in service quality and upkeep could lead to a much better overall experience.View restaurant profile
