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.

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!

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.
