Amir draws mixed but largely favorable reviews, with the chicken shawarma often described as flavorful and juicy and the hummus as incredibly creamy, accompanied by generous portions and fresh presentation; the garlic sauce is praised and the staff is noted as friendly and attentive, with catering highlighted for on time delivery, clear communication, and well packaged food for large gatherings. Many guests say they would return or recommend Amir for its overall shawarma experience and consistent quality, and several mention improvements after a change in ownership and staff. Yet some visits report issues with inventory and menu updates that left chicken dishes unavailable, requests to cancel orders and concerns about refunds, plus occasional uneven execution, bland sides or rice, and portions that feel small for the price. Overall, the venue is described as clean and welcoming, capable of delivering a solid shawarma and Lebanese influenced dishes, with progress noted in management changes but ongoing opportunities for greater consistency.
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!
