My first visit was for lunch. We were given our choice of table or booth and a drink order was immediately taken and served. This is a very tidy restaurant where you walk in an outer door and the restaurant is to the left through another door. I tried the shakshuka with the eggs over easy and rye bread toast. It was very good and I ate it all. Our server was very nice and checked in frequently. We paid by Venmo. When I'm back in town, I will be back. read more

This place isn't as bad as many reviews make it out to be! I will say that I was a bit disappointed with the Breakfast Burrito because though it was recommended by many reviews, I found it a little bland due to the large amount of hash browns and little cheese given. I did add a bunch of salsa and cream cheese to the burrito, but I just wish they were less stingy with how much cheese they added. Funnily, though I read certain reviews that the pastas were dry and not very good, I thought my friend's penne vodka pasta tasted great! It was full of flavor and there was a sufficient amount of cheese to complement the dish! I'd definitely like to order that the next time I'm back. read more

This was an Albanian restaurant that still offered some American cuisine so everyone had something to choose from on the menu. I had to try an Albanian dish, so the tried Baked Furghessa Clay and it was divine! The food melted in my mouth and the flavors were amazing!!! read more

Excellent food for everyone in our party. I had the vegan bowl, which was gigantic, w/tons of veggies and rice, and unbeknownst to me, came topped w/probably the biggest scoop of hummus I've ever seen. Looked more like 3 scoops! The prices were reasonable and the service was solid. I would eat here again! read more

The place was so cute! It wasn't very busy in Saturday around 1. It was fast and our server was sweet! We will be back read more

I've been reflecting for the past month, trying to fight the urge to write this review, but I am all about honesty and truthful reviews. I've always held aMa Bistro in the highest ranks, I love their menu and I used to love the customer service. I had a not so pleasant visit about a month ago and I haven't returned since. Service started off normally but my waitress wouldn't make eye contact with me at all. I tried to look past it and then when I received my bill, she dropped the clipboard that the receipt is attached to on the table, not even looking at me, and just walking away. The experience just continued to get worse and I just got overall very bad vibes from the waitress. I was respectful the whole service and I understand that everyone has those days when they're not feeling it, but I felt unappreciated, especially being that I was a regular here. She seemed very kind with everyone else but in a way, ignored me. Again, the food was great but the service left a horrible taste in my mouth. Don't see myself walking back in here. read more

I really was hopeful with this little hole in the wall place. They're trying so hard but just completely missing the mark. We were the only people in the restaurant. That should have been our first clue. Service is SO SLOW. We had two kids so our urgency was already high, but if it was just us it still would have been way too long. Food came out room temp and pretty bland. Kids liked the stuffed Nutella French toast. I really hope they can turn things around, it's super clean and cute inside. Just a pretty big miss for us today :( read more

I've heard a lot about the breakfast at aMa for many years, so when I found myself in Ann Arbor for an event on a Sunday morning, it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. We arrived at 11 AM on a Sunday morning and it was hopping, but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. Our server was very friendly and attentive and shared some suggestions from the menu. I opted for the smoked salmon benedict which was delicious. My wife had the spinach benedict and thought it was great. My daughter chose the "Big Breakfast" and it definitely lived up to its name! I look forward to returning and exploring more of the menu! read more

The fresh fruit was a tiny portion of melon and a few grapes for $4.50. When I told the server that I thought it was very a small portion for the price, she rolled her eyes and said that she would let the staff know, "they love feedback from customers" read more

Delicious breakfast, really good coffee, and EXCELLENT service! Quiet even on a busy Sunday, with a soothing vibe.

Eat here--you'll be glad you did! read more

A tiny whole in the wall of a restaurant, but I enjoyed it greatly. The aesthetics of the place was wonderful. I go to school in Detroit and decided to go on a friend date with for breakfast. We had a blast! The food was delicious and the iced Mocha was just okay but I'd still try their other iced coffee drinks. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good place to eat that's cute and the food is good. read more

This place has one of the best brunch menus I've seen! This was a consistent favorite while living in Ann Arbor.

Tight 45' connect flight at DTW on a stormy Eastern Seaboard day results in a missed connection and a chance to surprise my freshman daughter at Ann Arbor with a surprise lunch visit. Came in right after the late breakfast crowd and early lunch rush. Not sure why all the low reviews, good service from a well informed courteous young student/waiter. Daughter had a western omelet with fruit and toast and I decided to try something different the Albania V Bhurani, sounded exotic and a cappuccino. Cappuccino was MEH 3 stars and a tad cold but a healthy serving, college student portions. Daughter said As lunch arrive the omelet was good - 4 star assumption, not generous and not skimpy but if you have a big appetite might not be enough The Bburani, was nothing but spinach with eggs your style over and toast / fruit on the side. Not exotic but just like I saId spinach with eggs over, 4 stars read more

Crepe was okay, soft and yummy. Stuffed french toast was too dry, I hope they use better bread to make french toast. French toast should be more heavy not dry and hard to chew. I paid $4 extra for Nutella and to be honest I expect like a lot for $4 but it was too small for the price. Also, there's no server to come take your order, you have to order food online and they already charged for tip (18-20% I think), we didn't know so we paid extra. I just have to be honest, we're on budget . read more

Place: This place is walkable distance for those college students that want breakfast food or those that go to morning prayer and get hungry. THIS IS THE SPOT lol Service: The service has been consistently amazing and I love the waitress that always serves us. Food/price: The food is amazing and the amount we get is crazy. I always need a box when I eat. So worth! Most people get the breakfast bundle option but I forgot what it is called in the menu... Audience: I always go with friends and I can see myself bringing people new to Ann Arbor. It is a cheaper breakfast option in my opinion. Recommend/tips? I recommend this place and TIP- Get the breakfast burrito but it does have a kick of spice! read more

This is my go to brunch spot in Ann Arbor! It has delicious food and a very aesthetic interior. Parking is a little hard to find because there is not a lot of street parking but there is some street parking and a relatively close parking structure. Service can be kind of slow but it's usually because it's very busy! My favorite thing to get usually is the breakfast burrito which is delicious. Recently I went for lunch and got the turkey and pesto panini and my dad ordered the chicken Alfredo and it further affirmed to me that there is no bad item to order here! The portions are really large and it's really easy to take home leftovers. The sandwich was really well assembled and the layers of flavor complemented each other very well. I also appreciated the fact that it came with a side salad also had yummy toppings like tomatoes, cucumbers, and cheese. It's better than most salads you order as appetizers at other restaurants. Overall I would definitely come back for the delicious food and nice ambiance. read more

Living one block away from Ama's, I come here quite often and usually on Saturday or Sunday for brunch. Food (4/5): I had the traditional mama's breakfast with eggs, sausage, hash browns, and toast. This was a very filling and delicious meal. The sausage was a little bit overcooked; however, this didn't take away from the overall dish. My friend had the Perfect Burger lunch. She said the burger was cooked well, but was a little bit on the greasy side. It was a messy burger but they got the medium rare right. Fries were pretty standard. She also got the strawberry shake, which had a good consistency - not too thick. The strawberry flavor was subtle but tasty. Service (2/5): The service left much to be desired. Our waitress kept forgetting about our order and we felt like we had to chase her down to remind her of our order and refills on coffee. When she forgot our order, she gave off a negative attitude. Overall (3/5): Food is always consistently good, but service is shaky. Recommend this place for a group of friends as this place is a little bit on the louder, more chaotic side. read more

The food here was soo good. I came for brunch because I heard it was a great go to spot for it. I also always notice that it's busy so I wanted to give it a try. I decided to order the authentic dish called the egg Bhurani. It was heavy and tasted really clean, fresh, and tasty. Also had some French toast with pecans. That also was very delightful. It's a family ran Albanian restaurant that will not disappoint. Service was nice. Food was quick to come out. Decor was good. Portions are generous. And prices are fair. A well deserved 4 stars. read more

Typical diner in downtown Ann Arbor. I can tell they get their traffic from students, because it was pretty dead when we went now that students are gone for the summer. We were seated immediately for lunch and it was pretty dead in there - maybe 2 other parties. Our server was sweet and answered questions about the menu for us, but there were some things on the menu for certain items that are worded in a confusing way. I ordered the spinach & feta omelette, but with egg whites and it was pretty good. Nothing super earth shattering or memorable about it. It came with fruit, which was fresh and ripe. I don't know that I would $10.50 for an egg white omelette, but maybe that's just Ann Arbor for you. Their menu is pretty nice, though, with healthier options, classic diner dishes and even a few Albanian items that are unique (and sound tasty!). It's a good spot for a quick lunch or breakfast, and they do have takeout and are also on sites like Mr. Delivery and GrubHub so you could definitely order them to go if you want. I am not sure I will be back, though. There are some places with diner-like food I prefer more than what I had here. read more

Microwave bacon, overly shredded blobs of hash browns, dry food across the board. They only accept Apple Pay (never heard of that in my life). When we did jump through their little hoops to pay, we got 20 paces outside of the restaurant before being harassed by a waiter yelling at us asking if we paid, and that we had to come back inside even tho we showed him the receipt. Once we went inside, we waited 5 minutes for him to come talk to us after checking on our payment, to which he never showed up and just stayed inside. I had to find him in the restaurant and ask if we were good to go, and after all that, he said we were good in the first place. Unbelievably bad service, bad business model, awful food, save yourself the pain and go somewhere else. read more

Good service and good food. I had a $10 restaurant.com certificate so we tried this place out today. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich on focaccia, and my friend had a burger. Since we needed to spend $20, we also ordered mozzarella sticks. It came on a bed of spinach and my friend is allergic to spinach, they said they would make her three new mozzarella sticks which was very nice of them (a serving was 6 and we had planned on splitting it). The decor and everything is nice too, this is the space where Mr. Greek's used to be. Based on this experience, I would come back here when I wanted a sandwich or a quick lunch. I've heard their breakfast menu is very good as well. They asked us if we wanted a breakfast menu too, so I assume they serve at all day too, or at least during lunchtime. read more

Super busy but the staff was so friendly and everything was delicious and fast. Stuffed French toast 10/10

DO NOT EAT HERE. Our 3 servers seemed very opposed to give us water, never came by to check on the food, overcooked my burger (asked for medium and there was no pink), then proceeded to argue with us that that's how medium is cooked. Server was annoyed when we asked for silverware. Had to flag down someone to get us water, was annoyed when we asked for water. Scoffed when we asked for ketchup and then rationed us only one. Waffle was cold. One napkin for the entire table. Second burger that came out cheese wasn't even melted. The amount of 1 star reviews is deafening to how awful the service is here. read more

TERRIBLE service. Absolutely worst service ive ever had, waiter got frustrated when we asked for silverware to eat.

I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and my husband had the pancakes with blueberries. The portions were very large and the prices were reasonable. Our waiter was friendly.

Bad food omelets are not good . The service is OK and I never dined in I did take out Honestly bad tasting and makes you feel bad.

Terrible place. I went to this place at about 2 pm and the place is almost empty, but there's no greeter and I had to approach the kitchen to finally find some waitress there. Even so, she didn't seem to understand what I'm doing and didn't greet me or seat me. And then I literally had to yell at them to ask for the menu, which is not priced and I found out the food is heavily overpriced when I get the bill. When I wanted to order food and yelled at the kitchen once again, the waitress answered but went off to another table and ended up forgetting about me. The food came out as slow as expected. I got the carbonara and it was heavily salted, the worst pasta I've ever had but it cost me 20 bucks. DO NOT go to this place. read more

I came in here looking for Coney Island and breakfast food. Unfortunately, they don't serve breakfast all day. Fortunately, she said omelets and the Traditional Mama's dish are available all day. I ordered the Veggie Omelet without cheese. It was an average omelet. The hash browns that came with it were not quite fried enough and were very bland, but maybe that's how it's supposed to be. I also ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice. While I did see fresh oranges being put in the juicer, I also spotted a gallon jug of orange juice, so I don't think all of it is freshly squeezed. According to their website, they are open 24/7. This should be fun. The renovations are nice and are definitely a step up from Coney Island's previous deco. read more

I ordered delivery from here for the first time. The steak and egg breakfast was extremely sub par. The hashbrowns were extremely mushy and dry. The steak and eggs were equally dry and had little flavour. The roasted tomatoe, goat cheese, avacado toast was very soggy. The tomatoes were raw and definitely not roasted. On the other hand, the sweet potatoe chipotle fries were great! The chicken sandwich and the creamy lemon chicken soup that came with it were delicious.It had great flavor, perfect amount of dressing. The soup was SO GOOD that it made up for all the subpar breakfast food and hence the 3 stars! read more
