Review Summary

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.

Food is just okay - chicken was dry. That's about it.

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.

The hummus is incredibly creamy & the chicken shawarma is seasoned to perfection. 5/5!

Their chicken shawarma is the real deal, perfectly spiced & juicy. A must-try!

I order a plate for take out on Sunday around 7:00pm. I can tell you that this is the worst Amir I went about the food quality. My shish taouk plate has no salad & I got half rice & chicken of what they served at other Amir. They don't deserve tips. Extremely disappointed.

The driest chicken I've had in a long while, ahe rice had many uncooked grains in it.

I got the chicken shish taouk which was absolutely fantastic. Don't skip the potatoes with garlic sauce, it's truly the showstopper! I also got a baklava sampler that I really enjoyed. Great for a quick lunch on the go.

I caught a happy hour special & decided to give it a try. The chicken was juicy & flavorful, salad crisp & fresh. The potatoes were good at best. The pita bread could have been fresher I personally didn't care. I'll be back.. good amount of food for your money.
