From the OpenTable editors: Amal dazzles diners with bright, stylish decor that draws inspiration from traditional Lebanese design. This alluring Yorkville restaurant backs up its good looks with an expertly executed Middle Eastern menu that touches on all the classics—dips paired with housemade pita, mezze, well-seasoned skewer platters, and shawarma.

    I went there to celebrate my birthday with family and friends and I really had a great time. The place it's beautiful, had great music selection and service was great. The food was delicious, we really enjoyed everything we ordered. The only plate I didn't enjoyed was the Kibbeh, texture wise wasn't what I'm used too and lack a bit of flavour. The Muhammara dip was phenomenal as well as the Labneh. The skewers were also delicious and well served. Price wise, is on the pricey side but you can expect good quality. Drink menu was a bit pricey for size, specially on mocktails. I appreciate and loved the birthday dessert (sticky date cake).

    Excellent food and very attentive service, even though it was fully packed. Also great value, their prices are absolutely reasonable given the high quality.

    Amazing food and decor. Very noisy, so conversation is difficult. Service was fine, but uneven.

    Went early in the week to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and to my surprise, the restaurant was very busy. I had made a reservation for 7 PM and noted that we were celebrating a birthday, but when we arrived, they seemed to have trouble finding our reservation. Despite this, they seated us at a small table in the middle of the restaurant, which felt cramped and not ideal for a special occasion. The ambience was beautiful, but it felt like the restaurant was more focused on quantity over quality. The staff was okay overall, but our waitress came off as a bit cold—possibly due to how packed the restaurant was. The food was good, but not exceptional, and the prices felt a bit high for the portion sizes. I was hoping for an elevated dining experience, but instead, it felt rushed and lacked attentive service. If you’re into trendy spots for Instagram photos and upgraded mezzes, this might be your place, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations.
