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.

Non seulement le service est impeccable, je n'ai jamais mangé une sauce à l'ail aussi bonne que celle-là, la sauce à l'ail & les patates sont les meilleures que j'ai mangé dans un restaurant libanais !! magnifique. Une combinaison de plusieures salades, zuccini, chou fleur, felafel ... une assiette royale, un régal ! Vous n'allez pas le regretter.

Can't go wrong here! The pita sandwiches are great though I think they could be a little bigger. The garlic potatoes are delicious. The service was quick & friendly. I'll definitely be returning for another bite! 👍😎

Good food! Our first choice was closed for the holidays (even though this was not noted on Google Business) so we hopped down the road to Amara. They plop the food on the plate so fast though, while they are asking you questions, that often it's too late to reverse your request. I get that it's automatic for them, but if they don't wait a sec for my answer they're going to have to scrape that hummus off my plate!
