Review Summary

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.

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.
