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.
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.😡👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
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!

C'est non! Ça fait trois fois que je commande à cet endroit (car je capote sur le Amir de Repentigny qui est EXCELLENT & que je recommande mille fois) mais comme je suis près, j'ai commandé Doordash chez eux. Les trois fois nos assiettes shish taouk étaient bourrées d'erreurs, froides & franchement c'est n'importe quoi. Jamais de Tabbouleh disponible, pas d'appels malgré mes demandes, aucune tentative d'offrir une alternative, poulet sec & émietté, c'était littéralement "butchés" à chacune des trois tentatives. Je ne recommande malheureusement pas cet endroit, cela m'arrive rarement de prendre le temps d'ecrire des notes plus négatives, habituellement je passe ailleurs & c'est tout. Mais là, après trois fois, c'est très clair qu'ils se foutent de leurs clients. *Soyez heureux que je laisse trois étoiles car je connais bien le business. Prenez soin de votre staff & ils vous le rendront. Bonne chance.
Got a sandwich for 12$ plus tax. Not really worth it. Taste mediocre, & portion was small. Definitely not recommended. There are many better places to get a Shawarma.
