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.

Delicious falafel & garlic potatoes at a good price. Less than $15 with an 18% tip!
If you skip the garlic sauce, it is vegan.

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!

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!
