Absolutely Delish!
We were in Columbia for Dr. Appt & live an hour away but I would def drive 2 eat here again! It's absolutely the best Middle Eastern food I've had in over 30 years! We got the Tzatziki App w/ homemade Damascus Bread (comes w/Gyro bread but we substituted 4 a $1.50 more). I had the Sultan Kabab Dinner & OMG was it incredibly good. It comes w/ a choice of Kababs, one side & side salad of your choice. I chose 1 chicken & 1 kufta, Greek salad & Syrian Saffron...read full review

What a hidden gem!! Had the lamb shawarma. I did get a couple tough pieces of lamb, but nothing that ruined the experience. I do thing the garlic sauce could use more garlic, but that is a personal preference. The consistency is wonderful. The flavor of the shawarma was light yet very powerful on the taste buds with an invitation to go for the next bite. The French fries were perfectly cooked and the dish stayed hot even through takeout! The restaurant was very clean and staff...read full review

Al Amir is described as a hidden gem and a clean and comfortable place with friendly staff and excellent service. The restaurant offers Middle Eastern food, including lamb shawarma, chicken shawarma, kibbeh, kebabs, Sultan Kabab Dinner, Gyro, Tzatziki App with homemade Damascus Bread, Syrian pita, Greek salad, Syrian Saffron Rice, and French fries. The lamb shawarma had light yet very powerful flavor, though a couple pieces of lamb were tough and the garlic sauce could use more garlic. The French fries were perfectly cooked, and the dish stayed hot even through takeout. The chicken shawarma is delicious with a generous serving size. The kebabs are perfectly seasoned, as is the rice, and portions are large. The kabobs were generous, well seasoned and nicely prepared. The Sultan Kabab Dinner was incredibly good and plentiful. The Gyro was very good with an adequate amount. The smell of everything is delightful and enticing. Service included great recommendations and going above and beyond to ensure a good experience, with patient, funny, interesting suggestions and friendly, wonderful waiters who made guests feel like regulars. The food was not quite the same as Noma, however it was not bad. Guests would drive an hour to eat here again and wished for Syrian baked deserts or Baklava.
