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.

Unfortunately this place will no longer be a regular for me. I went by today, ordered 2 platters & they came in smaller containers with not even close to what was served with the previous owners. Found out the place has been sold to new ownership. Quality as well as quantity have gone down significantly. Will def try something new. So unfortunate as I really loved the food there & the portion sizes which would last days. NGL. Today's portion wasn't even felt. Guys switch back to the original size!! Bye Amara…

Absolutely fantastic shawarma! The beef was incredibly flavorful, tender, & perfectly seasoned. Every bite was fresh & delicious.

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

This was easily one of the best shawarma meals I've had in a long time. I will definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food & great customer service!
