Amira Bakery Reviews
Delicious food, and the owner and employees are nice, Anything of the menu is good, I love shawarma sandwich, beef, lamb or chicken, and the plates too.
My quest for the perfect falafel sandwich has brought me here! At a higher than average price of $8, my expectations were already high, but they were definitely exceeded! First impression... this thing is massive! It had to have been at least a foot long! The flavor more than delivered as well... generous portions of lightly fried falafel, amazingly savory hummus, fries and fattoush veggies all tightly wrapped and perfectly grilled in a tortilla. I've said this many times, but THIS is the best falafel sandwich I've had! If you're wondering, there are many other vegan options too such as salads and veggie/falafel plates. Unfortunately my time on the inside was brief due to coronavirus restrictions, but the restaurant is very clean and well kept. The woman at the counter (maybe the owner?) was very kind and welcoming and I will certainly do business with her again. Thanks Amira!
Good chicken shawarma! Ask for garlic on the side if you don't like a lot of it. They also have traditional middle eastern pizzas or (Manakeesh).
The food is awesome and is my go to when I wanna get a taste of home on the go! After reading these reviews I want to point out that you can't go into an authentic middle eastern restaurant and expect the same service you would get in an Americanized restaurant. This is the exactly the experience you would get in the Middle East, this is as authentic as it gets, the service industry barley exists in the Middle East. They give you the food you order and that's about the extent of what you would get in the Middle East. My only complaint is that price of hummus is cheap and that when ordering Togo you do not get enough, a full scoop of hummus wouldn't cost much.. still the bread is fresh and homemade, and authentic. I will continue to return to this restaurant because it is just like home!
