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.

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!

Made the mistake of buy one get one on Uber for their shish taouk. Very little chicken (which was dry anyways), & a pathetic tiny drop of garlic sauce for each bol. Why are they rationing garlic sauce? Used to be both hummus & garlic, now it's basically neither unless you pay 2.50$ on Uber for a tiny cup extra? Save your time & money & don't order from here.

Je suis passée avant-hier & j'ai été ravie de découvrir votre restaurant. J'ai pris une assiette de shish taouk, & c'était absolument délicieux ! Merci pour la qualité de votre cuisine & votre accueil. À très bientôt !

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.

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.

I got the chicken shish taouk which was absolutely fantastic. Don't skip the potatoes with garlic sauce, it's truly the showstopper! I also got a baklava sampler that I really enjoyed. Great for a quick lunch on the go.
