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.
Used to be decent a few months ago but something has changed. Staff does not pay attention & are not service-minded, they forgot what we ordered within minutes even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. More focused on talking to themselves than taking care of the customer. The food quality is also worse & doesn't feel as fresh anymore, especially the chicken is extremely dry. It used to come with pita but both that & hummus was missing, so not only is the quality worse but also missing things that you usually would get. Would not return again & we used to go at least once a month.

J'étais un client régulier du restaurant Amir, mais la nourriture y est vraiment déplorable. Les ingrédients sont avariés & rassis. Une fois qu'on y a goûté, on n'en reprend plus. Quel gâchis !

The food quality at this restaurant was very poor. The meals were not fresh & tasted bad. Their service was also terrible & very slow. The owner's behavior was rude & unprofessional, which made the experience even worse. I am very disappointed with this restaurant & would not recommend it to others.😡👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I came from a long way to Amir's restaurant, but I didn't expect the quality of the food to be so bad..?
The owner & staff behaved badly & asked me twice for something..😡
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!!
