This is turning into a wonderful vacation-food wise. Our first visit to Al-Ameer was a huge success. We had no idea how large the portions are and everyone ordered something different. Lots-O-leftovers. They have a Beirut hummus that is spicier than anything. Jalapeños, you know. Their Sambouski is so well toasted it's burnt. The Moujadara was this side of perfect. The lentils and rice not overcooked, and it was served with Laban. These folks also have the very best chicken Ghallaba I've ever tasted. The chicken livers and rice were great, as well. I tried a piece of lamb chop and was very disappointed. Too cold and dry, decent flavour but not a good representation. The servers here are incredibly talented and attentive to their customers. It's a huge turn-on when a drink refill hits my table before I get the chance to request it. It's a fairly big dining room here but not the greatest use of space so seating is a bit limited. When we choose to eat there's hardly ever anyone else, so, I can't say what rush is like. 08/24 read more

I agree with earlier comments regarding the meat being dry especially the chicken shwarama. Also I found it odd that there were no pickles served with our Al Ameer platter. The service was also a bit slow. Although the staff was friendly. The ambience is nice and the place looked very clean. read more

Al-Ameer is always our first restaurant stop when we have a guest come over from out of town. They don't have the largest portions for the price, or have top in class food of anything in particular (except maybe the stuffed lamb?) but you can always trust Al-Ameer to have consistently great food. On the last visit, we got: Stuffed Lamb w/ Fattoush ($22.99 + $1 fattoush upgrade) - This lamb was super tender and didn't taste gamey at all. To be honest, if you put this dish in front of me, I would have guessed that the meat was beef. The rice has a fragrant taste of cardamom and cinnamon, a refreshing cleanser to get through the fattiness of the lamb. It comes with one side: the waiter recommended the fattoush, which we didn't realize was a premium side. Oh well, it was a good salad regardless. Al-Ameer Platter w/ Hummus and Fattoush ($34.99 + $1 fattoush upgrade) - My entire family was raving about the meat - juicy, succulent, and perfectly spiced. The kababs and kafta are quite small compared to other restaurants in the area, but the quality definitely makes up for it. I forgot that you could substitute rice, otherwise i definitely would have gotten rid of the hummus, since I ordered a large one as well. The garlic is the only thing I'm not a fan of - this one has a lot of fillers and is quite a bit smoother and more runny compared to other places. This results in a toum that is is really lacking that fluffiness and garlic punch that you look for. Large Hummus ($13.99) - Al Ameer's hummus really leans more into the chickpea side rather than the tahini. This results in a drier hummus that really needs added olive oil to add moisture. It's still a good hummus, but just not top tier. A slight acidity from the lemon balances the hummus out. The hummus is served with a couple of pieces of freshly baked pita. Overall, you can always trust Al Ameer to serve you delicious food and I highly recommend going. read more

Simply amazing food. The service was a little ... less than Midwestern-nice, I will say. But I don't need to make friends at a restaurant in order to love it. Just bring me delicious food and I will be happy. We got so much delicious food here. We started with the lentil soup, which was warm and earthy. Then we got the baba ganoush, which does not come with pita, so you need to order that separately. Then for the main entree, we ordered the combo platter, which came with shish kabob, tawook, kafta and falafel. This, combined with the soup, baba ganoush and pita, was enough to feed two people. It doesn't look like a lot of food when it comes out, but toward the end of the meal, I was struggling to finish. The combo platter also comes with hummus. The hummus and the pita were the only Mediterranean items that my children would agree to eat, but fortunately for me, Al-Ameer also had a lone hamburger listed at the end of their menu, so my children ordered that. The burger comes with fries, and it was big enough for my two children to split. I wouldn't visit Al-Ameer for the hamburger, obviously, but it's good to know that it exists on the menu. read more

My waitress was Mary, she was very nice and polite. She always checked up on us if we needed anything else. God bless her sweet soul.

Every time I am in Michigan I make a trip to come here. Food is always an amazing and always a treat. Juju was a great waitress and I look forward to coming back. read more

Al-Ameer - Al-Ameer Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Mary is the best! Service is very prompt and fresh. Food is amazing as always, I always get the shawarma dinner. Will be coming back asap.

Visiting MI must include a visit to Dearborn for Middle Eastern food. Having a brother in law born and raised in Beirut and growing up in Glendale, CA where Middle Eastern food is a major part of the culture, my expectations for Al-Ameer were high. Al-Ameer did not disappoint!! I wanted the mezze experience, but we were dining later in the evening and ordered just the kibbeh and falafel. Both were delicious, seasoned well, and definitely not dry. I ordered the shish kafta with rice and fatoush--the kafta was well seasoned juicy and the fatoush was fresh and well dressed. I felt like I was Sunday dinner at my sister and BIL's house. We waited a few minutes to be seated initially and the woman in the hijab seemed a bit distant, but we were seated and our server, Mo was very nice and accommodating considering how late we arrived at the restaurant. The ambiance is definitely family friendly and of course, we enjoyed our meal family style. Al-Ameer is definitely deserving of its James Beard recognition and has definitely become my go-to favorite when visiting my daughter in Michigan. read more

I think we arrived here 20 minutes to closing. I have to give a big awesome props to Al Ameer not only were they patient. They were incredibly kind and humble so let just say they represent what they serve and that satisfaction of the heart. The lighting is perfect at this place. There is a lot of servers ready to take your order. From the look and feel of things I felt right at peace ready to enjoy my food. We had the combo platter and it was enough for both of us. The beef was grilled just right its seasoning divine and tenderness just like Texas bar b q. Remember they close 10 but remember I am not recommend last minute. This restaurant PINCHE OUTSTANDING That is all. Chief The reality of evil people is that they will fear men that fear God. read more

Outstanding tabouleh, baba ghanoush, turkish coffee and combo platter. Hussein was a quick, attentive and fantastic waiter. Amazing restaurant! read more

Unbelievably good food!!!. I was totally blown away. They're using old-school charcoal methods of cooking up the meat. Don't expect juices to be running down your arm. The grill adds the flavor and the garlic sauce is the perfect addition. Not an A on the cleanliness scale, but if you can turn a blind eye to it, the food and service are both worth the visit. read more

The food here is completely delicious and amazing fast service with very fresh Lebanese food. You will be dreaming about their fattoush and craving it. The next time you go, you will consider not ordering it because you had so much left over last time. The serving sizes are in no way skimpy, but you will order it again because it's delicious if you go here it's nice to go with a group that you're comfortable with and then you can eat family style because the entrées are really large and they're great for sharing and that way you can have a larger variety of deliciousness. read more

I had a perfectly lovely lunch with an old friend this past week at Al-Ameer's W Warren location, the food was great, and our waitress Mary took great care of us, thank you! read more

This was my first experience dining at a Middle Eastern restaurant in Dearborn and my expectations were high. Unfortunately I was disappointed. While the salad, hummus, and rice were good, the chicken shawarma was awful. We have dined in many Middle Eastern restaurants, yet this chicken was the worst. It was incredibly dry (I am wondering if it was reheated from days before) and flavorless. I can make better tasting chicken. We selected this location due to the James Beard nomination and this experience is making me question the validity of this award. We brought guests from out if state with us and I was embarrassed this was where we took them. Not a good representation of how good this cuisine can be. read more

Dearborn is known as the capital of great Middle Eastern food in America and Al-Ameer is an amazing example of it. We stopped in here for a late lunch and had the most amazing meal. The tabbouleh was perfect. A big portion that started off looking absolutely amazing. But then after digging in, it is fresh and flavorful and crunchy and oh-so-yummy. We also had a big bowl of pita breads. Hot and fresh from the oven and delicious, this is where my keto diet went on vacation. I couldn't help myself. Main course arrived and I had a mixed shawarma. A plate with both lamb and chicken with a skewer of grilled vegetables. This didn't just hit the spot; it obliterated it. Moist, delicious, lots of it. Yummy! Warm and welcoming service, a good value for great food. I would definitely return to Al-Ameer without question. [Review 17959 overall - 355 in Michigan - 1480 of 2022.] read more

Got this from Uber eats, 2 shawarma sandwiches and a dozen bread with 8oz garlic. Let me tell you, some of the best shawarma and garlic I've ever had. The garlic wasn't too attacky like other places, didn't leave me with horrible garlic breath. The meat itself was so tender and flavorful. And the dozen bread, omg. It was delicious, almost a bit on the sweet side, I'd never had it like that before it was very good. Would definitely recommend! read more

I absolutely love Al-Ameer, been a loyal customer for years. Their half boneless chicken dinner is absolutely delicious, my favorite. So imagine my surprise when I order my favorite dinner from one of my favorite places and they CHANGED the type of rice they use with NO warning. Deeply upsetting. I'm sure I could have gotten the type of rice I need if I asked but I was unaware i had to ask. I am deeply hurt, but will come again. read more

The best food. Fresh, tasty, palate pleasing. Incredible service. I loved the appetizers, the hummus, the baba ganoush, the salads, everything. The meats taste authentic and not industrial store bought. Highly recommend it. read more

Al-Ameer - stuffed grapeleaves with lamb. Cooked not cold. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I have never had bad Lebanese food in my entire life until this day. There was not a single dash of seasoning to be found on this platter. Really had me pull out the salt and pepper tryna make this into something, but just look at that photo!!!! The meat tasted so low quality and bland. Like they microwaved some frozen Tyson grilled strips and put them on a cheap carry out plate. Baby, there is no way this is Halal. You can't convince me somebody prayed over this SaveALot meat. I had to trash it. $50 door dash order and was still hungry. The whole experience felt cheap and lacked any kind of soul or care for the food. There was no grilled vegetables, beets, or pickles on the platter like you would find at other places. No dressing on the Lebanese salad or on the side. The "garlic sauce" is...so confusing. It's a flavorless runny sauce and nothing like a garlic paste you might be use to. Just sad. This order made me sad! read more

This place used to be my family's go to Mediterranean restaurant in the area. The food is so flavorful and good quality. The kafta and shish kabobs are my favorite. The spicy hummus and cheese rolls were delicious. The portions are a bit smaller than I think it should be for the price. The restaurant is quite spacious, but our table was a bit dirty and there was so much food on the floors. Service was good and attentive. read more

Had to write a quick review on White's Auto Glass & Trim I took my f-150 truck in cause the sunroof would not close and the forecast stated freezing rain in the up coming days so as you can tell I needed this fixed fast and today! So they took care of me,Eric White the owner knew exactly what I needed the sunroof arm brackets needed to be replace but I didn't have the cost of repairs at the moment so he said he could close it til next time I can had it fixed the proper way 15 mins later these guys are calling me that it's done. ( super fast ) This place reminds me of those old school 80's repair shops that don't exist anymore. No BS and not trying to rob you just straightforward honesty and I love that Thanks again guys, you are one of a kind for sure and very professional which is what returning customers need today. read more

Called 3 times. Twice it went straight to a classical music, 3rd time was country music. 4th time and a woman answered. Wait is 25 minutes for two people, really? She told us to come in 25 minutes. I told her we are a half hour out. Arrived. It was quite busy. We were seated in a far back seat booth. The host left two plates with our menus. One of the plates had crusted on food and some grease in the center of the plate as well. A minute later, the same host seated a couple directly behind us with a thin booth cushion between us. No dividers either. We left. This place wasn't demonstrating cleanliness nor social distancing enough to make us feel comfortable to eat here. read more

I was hosting a group of Japanese tourists for dinner, and they were very interested in trying Middle Eastern food. Juju was our waitress and she was fantastic! She recommended the Family Tray 1, which gave us a wide variety of different foods to try. Everyone loved it. I already knew I loved the food at Al Ameer, but the service was excellent. Juju really went above and beyond to make sure my guests had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend! read more

The Food here was fantastic, definitely the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, the food was all on point the chicken was well seasoned and very juicy and the kafta was SOOO GOOD without a doubt the best I've had. And the service was just as good as the food, We were instantly seated when we walked in and was left a glass jar of water to refill when needed. Nothing came out late and I believe it was the owner coming around asking if the food was good. The restaurant has a very classy ambiance and feels very welcoming from right as you walk in the front door. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for good Mediterranean food! read more

Best food in town. However, they need to have more selections. Also, they need to do better with their consistency.

Came here for dinner when my friends and I were in the area this past summer. This place was also recommended to me by one of my colleagues, who grew up outside of Detroit. We were served pretty quickly and our server was very friendly and helpful. This place may not be the best place for a vegetarian, but I did end up ordering a veggie kebab and some rice, which was pretty good. One of my friends got their lamb specialty dish, and she raved about it. We all loved their yogurt garlic sauce and while we enjoyed our meal, I do wish my choices were a little less oily. Still, this felt like a solid place to get some Middle Eastern food at in Dearborn. read more
