About

Amara serves authentic Lebanese cuisine focusing on traditional flavor profiles and fresh ingredients. The menu highlights classic mezze selections including creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanouj, and crisp falafel prepared with aromatic spice blends. Hearty grilled meat platters feature marinated tawook skewers and seasoned kafta served alongside fragrant rice or warm pita bread. The kitchen emphasizes time-honored cooking techniques that produce deep textures and balanced acidity across every dish. Fresh vegetable salads tossed in zesty lemon and olive oil vinaigrettes accompany savory pastries filled with spinach or melted cheese. The functional setting centers on the delivery of consistent, high-quality plates that represent the core pillars of Levantine gastronomy. Diners engage with a menu designed to showcase the inherent richness of Mediterranean culinary staples through simple and effective preparation methods.

Nouvelle administration qui fait ses preuves. Mon endroit préféré pour manger des shawarmas à Montréal !

While I appreciate their renovation & it has definitely livened up the place, the new price to quality ratio is a little off. The crispy pita is borderline burnt, do not recommend. The meat was also quite dry & the sauce lacking. I was expecting a pomegranate molasses glaze on it, no luck. Unfortunately, the expertise of the older levantine gentleman who (used to?) work there hasn't been replicated.

However, the potatoes are phenomenal & some sides seem good as well. Would very much recommend.

On a acheté deux assiettes Sharma mixte & elles étaient délicieuses & bien garnies (2 assiettes étaient assez pour 4 personnes). Nous avions aussi commandé deux baklavas farcies & elles étaient préparés aussi sur place & étaient sérieusement les meilleures que j'ai mangés!

Service était impeccable! Super gentil & accueillant!

C'est sûr que je vais revenir!

C'est vraiment LA place pour manger du shawarma! J'ai pris le Crispy Shawarma & c'était excellent. Mes amis ont pris les sandwichs shawarma classiques & tout était vraiment super bon. Les saveurs, la qualité & les portions sont au rendez-vous. Clairement une adresse où je vais revenir souvent. Je recommande fortement!
