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.

There was one other customer, employee was less than pleasant, not thrilled to be serving us, took a secondary customer after us but gave them priority in making their food before finishing making our shawarma, & even took payment from them before finishing our order. It was quiet in the location & no excuse for terrible service.

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!

Je sais pas comment expliquer le goût & je suis quand même généreuse de donner 2 étoiles mais goût horrible, sauce à l'ail qui goûtait la vieille poubelle, laitue & tomates pas fraîche, tout ça pour 10$. J'ai vraiment vu mieux comme Shawarma
