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.

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.
