Have eaten here several times. The last time I went was in a weekend and I ate the Schnitzel on challah special. It was fantastic! A must try.

Food is delicious and love the menu items . It’s one of our favorite restaurants.

Heidi Meister

My favorite place!!!! Everything is delicious but shuk salad with shawarma is my favorite. I may have tried everything on the menu. The flavors are authentic and taste just like Israel. Ami, the owner wants everyone to leave happy. Great ambience on patio with Israeli music playing. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Thank you, Adi, for the great service and the amazing, delicious and yummy food!
This establishment is worth paying a visit for one of the best Israeli and Mediterranean food in North Shore.

We look forward to coming again and enjoy the food and the service :-)

Nicest staff ever, the service was absolutely incredible, not to mention the food was so amazing I come here every week for some schnitzel and lentil soup even though I live roughly 45 minutes away! Best restaurant ever and is definitely my top 3!

What a cute little restaurant. Order at counter and they bring the food to your table. Those who work there are attentive and very friendly. Delicious falafel! And they bake their own challah on Fridays. I look forward to returning and trying more from their menu.

Food is great. Casual setting with a few counter spots in the restaurant. More takeout oriented. The quality of the food is very high. Everything I have had has tasted great. While it is labeled "street food", the taste is gourmet. The staff have all been very nice and helpful with descriptions. Prices are not cheap and reflect the quality. I recommend Ami highly for great food.

The owner and his wife were very kind! They walked me through the menu and checked on me while eating. The food was AMAZING! I have celiac disease and safely ate a wonderful gluten free pita! The best pita I’ve ever had!

Best food we've had since moving to the area. Great flavour and borderline healthy. A bit too much salt, and no way to recycle plastic cutlery would be my only criticism but that's personal taste and view, so 5 stars all the way. We will be back to buy some bread.

This is the real deal. I’ve eaten in Eilat, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and this is very close to what you’ll get from a descent fast food spot in those cities. I’ll be back!

Hold up! Are you craving some middle eastern food? Give Ami a visit for all you favorites and even some dishes you have not heard of, it’s all incredible.

We had the Schnitzel, both in Pita and plate, falafel, shakshuka, shawarma and cheese burekas! It was all simply fantastic.

AND, if you are celiac, Ami has GF pitas and Schtitzels and more.

Thank you Ami, see you again soon.
