Amir draws mostly positive opinions with some mixed experiences. Many reviews praise the chicken shawarma and hummus as flavorful, well seasoned, juicy, and creamy, along with generous portions and friendly, efficient service in a clean and welcoming setting. Catering and timely delivery are highlighted as strong points, while a few comments mention dry chicken, subpar greens, or bland sides, and others describe inconsistency after a change in management or menu updates that led to unavailable dishes or refunds issues. Overall, the place is seen as offering great flavor and hospitality, with room to improve consistency and communication.
If you're looking for the best shawarma experience in town, Amir Griffintown is the place to go. The food quality is outstanding-fresh, flavorful, & consistently delicious. The staff are amazing: welcoming, friendly, & genuinely generous, which makes every visit even better.
The portions are incredibly generous, so you definitely get great value for your money. Honestly, forget the other spots-this is hands down the best shish taouk in town. Highly recommended!

Je sais pas comment expliquer le goût & je suis quand même généreuse de donner 2 étoiles mais goût horrible, sauce à l'ail qui goûtait la vieille poubelle, laitue & tomates pas fraîche, tout ça pour 10$. J'ai vraiment vu mieux comme Shawarma
On a commandé la promotion acheter 1 obtenir 1 gratuit mais ce nest pas ce qu'on a reçu. On a la preuve & tout mais ils refusent & ils se lancent la balle entre eux & Uber! C'est ridicule! Plusieurs ont commandé la meme chose au bureau & obtenu la bonne commande & promo mais pas moi. C'est terminé!! Je ne commande plus à cette place & le message est passé au bureau!!
I have visited Amir several times in person, & my previous experiences were always positive. That is why today's situation was especially disappointing.
I placed an order, & neither the delivery menu nor the in-store menu indicated that chicken dishes were unavailable. I waited 30 minutes before being informed that my order could not be prepared due to the lack of the main ingredient.
On top of that, I was asked to cancel the order myself & was warned about possible issues with receiving a refund. This is completely unacceptable. Customers should not be responsible for internal inventory issues or the failure to update the menu.
As a result, my dinner & evening were ruined. As a returning customer, I expected a much more responsible & professional approach.
I would appreciate some form of goodwill compensation for the inconvenience, & I trust measures will be taken to prevent similar situations in the future.
Made the mistake of buy one get one on Uber for their shish taouk. Very little chicken (which was dry anyways), & a pathetic tiny drop of garlic sauce for each bol. Why are they rationing garlic sauce? Used to be both hummus & garlic, now it's basically neither unless you pay 2.50$ on Uber for a tiny cup extra? Save your time & money & don't order from here.

Amazing catering service! Huge Thank you Jason for managing our large order. We ordered for a party of 30 people. The food was delivered right on time with good communication, it was packaged very well. A great variety of dishes. The food was amazing, I was very proud to show off our Lebanese food to my work group, with an abundance of hospitality & flavors.
I will definitely order catering from there again!
The crispy saj mix was absolutely amazing! I asked if they could make it crispy, & without any hesitation the staff made it exactly the way I wanted. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, & incredibly delicious. I'm already looking forward to the family meal I ordered ahead of time from Amir for our Christmas gathering. This restaurant never disappoints!
