Very kind, friendly and generous staff and owner. The food is very delicious. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. A lot of parking space in the lot and the location is very close to everything that you need nearby. I will definitely be coming back here to eat. Thank you so much!

Very tasty. But using paper plates was unpleasant.

Shawarma platter was dry and not worth price 4/10, and the shish-taouk sandwich was okay and a possible budget friendly snack 6/10, the tabouleh tasted a bit off and was not very appetizing 4/10.

First let me state that the employee that I dealt with was very friendly and this is the reason I gave this location two stars. I come from Toronto on business once in awhile. I always make it a point of eating at Amira restaurant, however I have never eaten at the Douglas location before. This was a major disappointment. I always order the mixed grill, which normally comes with one stick of beef shish kabob, one stick of chicken shish tawook and one stick of Kofta. The plate normally costs approximately $20 plus tax and is well worth it. It is a very large plate that cannot be finished by one person and at one sitting, except this time. This time I have to say " where's the meat?" The kofta stick was the size of my baby finger. Instead of a large stick of chicken I was given a stick of four medium shrimp and for the beef shish kabob, I had to look to find it on the plate. Imagine I paid $22 including tax for a plate that would barely feed a child. If you want to visit Amir restaurant, go to any other location other than the Douglas Street location.

The service is great, the food is excellent, the best place if you wanna enjoy a good shishtaouk! I highly recommend it

No mask while serving: no business from me. Imagine what happens in the back-store. After nearly a year of being a loyal customer, and multiple (recent) moments of hygienic discomfort, I'm done. Byebyeee Food is tasty, but it's a pandemic, and no one is immune - not even if you serve shish-taouks. (The dude. The woman always wears a mask)

The owner tries to defend himself by saying that things fell on the part of the fridge but no, it was right next to the cash register where customers deposit their money that my pita was dropped and then put in my bag. We are supposed to have the equivalent of $15 worth of food to save for 4.99 which is not the case at all. Potatoes and a few vegetables are not worth $15. You should go and save a basket at zone shish taouk and you will understand why I am also disappointed with yours. Point.... Take this as constructive criticism to improve what you are offering to save because when you travel 7 km to save a supposed $15 meal you expect to have almost $15 worth of meals to save and not 4.99 cents worth of potatoes. . THANKS! You like to eat yesterdays leftovers mixed with those of the day go to this Amir I guarantee you that the salads from the day before are mixed with the new ones so as not to waste instead of using too good to go and offering a basket to save which makes good sense because we end up with only potatoes and salad which they judge not to be able to resend to the customer who expects to eat fresh the next day. Its not for nothing that the too good to go of this particular Amir is almost never sold. Oh and before I forget if something falls on the counter they will put it back on your plate or in the dish in which they take the food to serve the customers and they dont use gloves either.

The food is good, but the delivery service is very long. More than 1h30 when you live 10 minutes away is not normal. If they are unable to deliver within a reasonable time, they should mention this.

Very good service, but I found 2 hairs in my dish last time. No gloves worn during service or hair or beard net. According to the responses to the comments, they say that safety is their priority... Let me doubt it after that.

Excellent restaurant, the best Amir I have been to. The dishes were definitely of a superior quality, it is clear that the owner and cook put a lot of priority on the preparation, the tastes far exceeded what I expected or what I usually taste. The lady and man who served me were also super friendly, which added a lot to the enjoyment. The lighting is very bright though, which is a bit dazzling in the evening, but I feel like they dont have much control. For me, this wasnt too disturbing as it was a take out order. The lighting however made it obvious that everything is also very clean. I will definitely go back!

Being used to several ARMIR restaurants, I didnt like the service and liked the food less. for the service it was a bit of a cold service vs a warm service, for the food, firstly, he did not want to give us more sauce when purchasing a meal and a salad, secondly, the taste was not as good too than the other friends that we are used to and finally the quantity was less. The other takeaway dishes are well stocked while this one was not. Finally we had a stomach ache, although normally not, maybe it was a coincidence..

Unfortunately we had a bad experience. We placed an order online, by creating an account, we cannot pay on the site, only to the delivery person. There are NO DELIVERY COSTS LISTED ON THE SITE. NOWHERE I receive an email confirmation of the total amount of my invoice, when the delivery person arrives, on my invoice I have a delivery charge of $5 written by hand and a new total amount indicated. When I phone and speak to the manager, he tells us that this is normal and that they charge delivery costs from 10 km... 2nd error.... On Google map I am exactly 8 km away. And the icing on the cake, they dont want to refund this famous $5 for unregistered delivery. On that note, I do not recommend this place. EDIT: After writing the review publicly, I received an interac transfer of $5 - plus he called us personally to tell us that it was wrong for us to post this review and that we should delete it. Honestly, if we had received a call informing us of these famous fees, we probably would have chosen accordingly. The fact of not wanting to refund and waiting for this post to finally refund $5 and call us and hold us on the phone for 20 minutes to complain about our opinion is unacceptable.

I recommend this branch!! The staff is committed to providing quality service that meets the needs of its customers. (Example, delivery of 14 orders on separate invoices, no errors and no problems for them) They are smiling and courteous! We have done business with other branches of this type but none offer such good service! The food is fresh and tasty. And the restaurant and bathrooms very clean!

Part 1 I ordered on skip around 5:50 a.m. I called them around 7 a.m. to find out what was going on with my order and they told me that the order is on its way for the moment everything looks good. But around 7:40 a.m. no news yet of my order, I called back and he told me that the girl was coming. She arrived at 8 a.m. with my cold order that I had to reheat in the microwave. Part 2 After writing the first part of the review, the restaurant called me back to explain the delay and gave me a free next order! A gesture that would not have been made by any restaurant!

The restaurant is clean! They are still in the training period, some employees were looking for what they should do. One of the employees was leading the group! When it comes to Covid, they could do better, no purell at the entrance, an employee had his cell phone in hand without washing his hands afterwards, mask put on incorrectly, etc. Ill go back and hope they improve by then!
