Great for outdoor dining
Vegetarian-friendly

In Lebanon, food is an essential part of all family and social gatherings, with bold flavors, colorful vegetables, and vibrant proteins fresh from the marketplace. Prepared simply and with passion, our cold and hot mezze, various grilled meats, kebabs, fresh seafood, and creative homemade desserts offer something for everyone, including an abundance of vegan and vegetarian dishes.
At Amar, small plates are meant to be shared, and we encourage you to soak up the aromatic spices and herbs of the Mediterranean and the Levantine coast with our handmade pita bread baked fresh in our wood-burning oven. Inspired by the creative souls who embrace old cultures and new experiences, our cozy space is the perfect mix between rustic and refined, the nostalgic and modern. The Kurban family and their attentive staff invite you to linger over a meal and experience their genuine hospitality.

Outstanding as usual! Really love the new space. Christmas Eve dinner with our daughter, split several mezze and then the mixed grill was just the right amount. Moussaka, hummus with lamb, & babagana. The waygu and chicken kabobs were tender and flavorful. The best baklava with pistachios instead of walnuts! Service was perfect as well. And the belly dancer was very talented.

It was our first time here and we loved it. Everything. I appreciated the entryway, the bar looks great, the design is beautiful. We sat outside and they have a beautiful patio. Our server, Heather, was friendly, helpful and informative. She greeted us right away, and we didn’t have to wait for drinks, food, or anything else. It all came out in perfect timely order. When there is bad service - you’re not greeted right away, food takes way too long to come out, or is cold, an order is missing - it ruins the experience of the food. This restaurant and Heather excelled on service. Now for the food. It was delicious! We shared the beet salad, spiced potatoes and mixed grill. The spices were a wonderful blend. The salad was light with a gorgeous lemony flavor, the potatoes had a nice seared crunch with yummy rich spice taste and the mixed grill was amazing - the meats were all flavorful and melted in your mouth. I never take the time to write reviews- in fact this is my first restaurant review- but I was inspired to write one for this exceptional restaurant. We can’t wait to go back and could see this place being a regular spot.

Overall Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) While the ambiance and service were notable, the overall quality of the experience and food did not justify the price. Atmosphere/Ambiance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) The ambiance was inviting, with a cool and laid-back vibe. The decor added to the charm, and the bar was lively with couples of varying ages enjoying drinks and watching the game. Cleanliness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) The restaurant appeared spotless, although we didn’t use the restrooms to assess their condition. Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) Although we weren’t greeted immediately after being seated, the staff were friendly and seemed to work well together. Our waiter, Chris, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and offered thoughtful recommendations for both food and drinks. Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) We ordered: •Baba Ghanouj •Sambousek •Lamb Chops •Sheikh El Mehchi The standout was the piping hot, freshly baked pita paired with the Baba Ghanouj, which was delicious. Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes were inconsistent in temperature and lacked flavor. The Sambousek was served hot, but the Lamb Chops were merely warm, and the Sheikh El Mehchi, though hot, came with lukewarm rice. Overall, the food lacked the spice and depth of flavor we expected. While there were some high points, such as the ambiance, cleanliness, and parts of the service, the inconsistencies in food quality detracted from the overall dining experience.
