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.

I have eaten here so often that when i walk in, the staff already knows my order. The place makes good food & the staff are all great people.

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.

My dad dragged us all the way from NJ to come here. Spent 30 minutes wandering to find the place but it was literally love at first bite. Meat is cooked perfectly, generous portions, so many options. We ended up coming back here like three days straight. I'm back in Jersey & still craving this, so here I am writing a review months later because I miss it so much.

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.
