About

Amir delivers an authentic Middle Eastern fast-casual experience centered on high-volume production of fresh, flavorful staples. The menu highlights signature charcoal-grilled meat skewers, including marinated shish tawook and kafta, served alongside fluffy basmati rice and signature garlic sauce. Patrons frequently select the classic shawarma wraps, which feature thinly sliced vertical rotisserie proteins layered with fresh vegetables and pickles inside warm pita bread. The kitchen emphasizes speed and consistency, utilizing traditional spice blends to achieve a recognizable, bold flavor profile across all Mediterranean-inspired offerings. Fresh fattoush and tabouli salads provide crisp, herb-forward accompaniments to heavier protein plates, while crispy falafel discs round out the vegetarian options. This establishment maintains a functional, no-frills environment designed for quick service and efficient takeout, ensuring that each meal adheres to established quality standards for Lebanese-style street food.

Review Summary

Amir receives mixed feedback from customers who often praise the freshness, generous portions, and flavorful shawarma, while frequently highlighting the friendly and welcoming nature of the staff. Many patrons appreciate the quick service and the quality of items like the hummus and shish taouk, often recommending the restaurant for both casual dining and large catering orders. However, some experiences reflect inconsistency, with occasional reports of dry chicken, smaller portion sizes, long wait times, or disappointments regarding inventory management and food freshness. While the majority of visitors find the atmosphere clean and the meals satisfying, the shift in ownership and management appears to have created varied experiences in terms of service efficiency and product quality.

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.

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!

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.
