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.

Very disappointing experience. The cashier was rude… & used disrespectful language, which was completely unacceptable. The food was overly salty & didn't taste good at all. On top of that, there was a very unpleasant smell throughout the restaurant. I would not recommend this place.

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!
