Reviews paint Amara as a place where the food is consistently fresh and delicious, with generous portions that offer strong value for the price, and service that is attentive and respectful. The menu is described as varied and distinctly Lebanese, with falafel and garlic potatoes repeatedly highlighted as standouts and a vegan option when garlic sauce is skipped. The decor is noted as understated, but the overall dining experience is regarded as one not to miss, with many people calling it the best Lebanese restaurant in the city and praising the staff and fair prices. Many reviewers say they have recommended it to friends and that no one has been disappointed, although a minority found a visit to be only okay. Overall, Amara appears to be a reliable favorite for fresh flavors, generous portions, and dependable value, with a welcoming vibe that keeps bringing people back.
I ordered delivery. They told me 30 minutes. It was here in 50 minutes. The food was cold, meat & chicken super dry, the rice was dry & bland, I asked for rice only & they gave me potatoes & rice. I asked for the creamy coleslaw & fatoush. They gave me bland, no salt or peppers or mayo or carrots. The fatoush had no tomatoes which is mandatory in fatoush. & it was overall just dry, oily & bland food. I spent almost 45$ for horrible food & experience. Never buying there again.
Always a satisfying big plate with lots of vegetables, rice, potatoes & meat. Looks & tastes amazingly fresh. Forget the others, give a try to Amara !!
Amara is the hands-down best Lebanese restaurant in the city! I've introduced many people to Amara over the years & so far no one has ever been disappointed. The menu is varied, the food is great, the staff is respectful, the portions are generous & the prices are very fair.
Don't let the understated decor fool you! Behind the inexpensive tables & chairs is a food experience no one should miss!
WOOOOW! Que dire de ce restaurant vraiment une tuerie vrm leur bouffe incroyable le personne très gentil & sympa & sont très généreux niveau portion & le prix est largement abordable vue la quantité il y'a facile 1 a 2 kg par assiette pour la modique somme de 17,75 & leur sandwich a 9 $ bien charger c'est vrm rare de trouver une telle qualité à leur prix je recommande à 100 % d'y aller & de les soutenir ☝
If you find yourself with any complaints about this establishment, I suggest a visit to a specialist might be in order. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with impeccable customer service-warm, welcoming staff who serve with a genuine smile, unlike many Arab restaurants where it can feel as though they're doing you a favor by letting you dine. The food here is consistently fresh, served warm, & in generous portions. Even after returning two years later, when other places have grown stingy with their servings, this restaurant has remained true to its original quality & quantity. It's a rare find in today's dining scene, & I will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come!
Great shawarma place in town, portion is generous, beef is perfectly cooked & savory, potatoes perfectly paired with garlic sauce. Definitely my go to place for shawarma in montreal!
