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.

Review Summary

Feedback for Amir is widely mixed, with many patrons praising the fresh, flavorful shawarma, generous portions, and exceptionally friendly service that makes for a welcoming dining experience. Frequent visitors often highlight the high quality of the hummus and the efficiency of the catering services, while others appreciate the convenience and affordability of the meals. However, some diners report inconsistencies in food quality, ranging from dry chicken to instances where portions felt small or ingredients lacked freshness. Negative experiences also include complaints about long wait times, inventory management issues during orders, and dissatisfaction regarding price changes or portions under new management, indicating that while many consider it a top-tier destination, service and consistency can vary.

I have visited Amir several times in person, & my previous experiences were always positive. That is why today's situation was especially disappointing.
I placed an order, & neither the delivery menu nor the in-store menu indicated that chicken dishes were unavailable. I waited 30 minutes before being informed that my order could not be prepared due to the lack of the main ingredient.
On top of that, I was asked to cancel the order myself & was warned about possible issues with receiving a refund. This is completely unacceptable. Customers should not be responsible for internal inventory issues or the failure to update the menu.
As a result, my dinner & evening were ruined. As a returning customer, I expected a much more responsible & professional approach.

I would appreciate some form of goodwill compensation for the inconvenience, & I trust measures will be taken to prevent similar situations in the future.

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.

Amazing catering service! Huge Thank you Jason for managing our large order. We ordered for a party of 30 people. The food was delivered right on time with good communication, it was packaged very well. A great variety of dishes. The food was amazing, I was very proud to show off our Lebanese food to my work group, with an abundance of hospitality & flavors.
I will definitely order catering from there again!

The crispy saj mix was absolutely amazing! I asked if they could make it crispy, & without any hesitation the staff made it exactly the way I wanted. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, & incredibly delicious. I'm already looking forward to the family meal I ordered ahead of time from Amir for our Christmas gathering. This restaurant never disappoints!
