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.

Review Summary

Amara offers a polarizing dining experience following its recent change in ownership and renovations. While many patrons praise the restaurant for its fresh, flavorful shawarma, generous portions, and welcoming atmosphere, others express disappointment regarding increased prices, smaller servings, and inconsistent quality compared to the past. The majority of feedback highlights the establishment as a clean, friendly, and authentic destination for Lebanese cuisine, though a segment of customers remains critical of recent operational shifts and occasional issues with food preparation or delivery service.

There are many Shawarma restaurants in Montreal specifically Lebanese, but this touch is different. It's a young team full of life & honestly, they welcomed me like I was family. The food is delicious. The portion is great. I mean if you're not full after this platter, I think you just need two plates. The garlic is impeccable. The salad bar is awesome. Thank you very much to have an amazing restaurant like this In St. Laurent's !!

A special thanks to Moe for the outstanding service. He was super friendly, welcoming, & made the whole experience even better.
