good meats but rice & potatoes were very basic, although the chicken shawarma saj sandwich was outstanding & so so juicy

It pains me to leave this review. Amara was a titan of Lebanese cuisine in Montreal. It had the best plates, best portion sizes , best potatoes & garlic sauce... The list goes on. Been a regular for over 10+ years, it was such a staple for my friends & I.

Tried it after the ownership change & I was unpleased. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they haven't fully established themselves.

My second takeout order felt more of the same. The Amara we once knew is gone & it hurts.

The portion sizes have gotten smaller which is apparent from the takeout container. The prices however increased, partly due to the Reno's done in store & ownership markup. Double dipping by reducing size & increasing price.

The potatoes are awful. They used to be the best part of the meal. They are now over seasoned, at times spicy at times salty. It's so hard to find one that's just right.

The loose chicken also seems to be cut thinner, used to get larger pieces on the plate, nowadays it feels like I'm getting minced paper.

Whatever the case, I will always cherish the memories created at Amara & the countless meals it provided. I genuinely hope that I can edit this review one day to put it back as a 5 star, but until then I'm sorry Amara.

I ordered delivery. They told me 30 minutes. It was here in 50 minutes. The food was cold, meat & chicken super dry, the rice was dry & bland, I asked for rice only & they gave me potatoes & rice. I asked for the creamy coleslaw & fatoush. They gave me bland, no salt or peppers or mayo or carrots. The fatoush had no tomatoes which is mandatory in fatoush. & it was overall just dry, oily & bland food. I spent almost 45$ for horrible food & experience. Never buying there again.

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

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! 👍😎
