Shawarma Sandwich
Salman C.

We came here with some friends and were sat immediately during lunch time. My wife ordered the shawarma plate which was about $25. I figured the shawarma sandwich at $8 would be a teeny tiny portion as a result but I was surprisingly shocked when a full size dish was presented to me. In all honestly, this place should be referred to as family style. The shawarma plate would easily serve 3 people and the potato dish we ordered fed four adults and we still had leftovers. So yes, don't let the prices discourage you because you're getting a ton of food. If I had access to an $8 shawarma that tasted this good I'd eat it everyday.

Al Ameer Platter

We ended uo back at Ol Faithful after looking for somewhere else to go. Honestly the customer service is always top notch here as well as the food. Quick, efficient and courteous. We were given some complimentary chai tea as well that was delicious. Started off with appetizer combo and then Al Ameer platter for the 2 of us. A lot of food but we anticipated leftovers- which we did. Fattoush came anf was seasoned well, combo followed with delicious grape leaves and soft falafel. Still the creamiesy humus I've ever found. Baba ganoush is always hit or miss and today is was kind of in the middle. The platter has delish tawook, kafta, kabobs and beef and chicken shwarma. Choice of rice and we chose yellow instead of the white. Fresh baked pita breads set it off and it was a great meal and will be a great lunch tomorow.

Wow is this place great! When you walk in you be met with aromas that will make you happy. The service was so friendly. We were quickly seated and handed a menu. I went with a lentil soup to start with. It was flavorful and seasoned. The portion size was good too. They also brought out some freshly made bread. It was still warm and delicious! I ripped it open and filled it with my fatoosh salad. I ordered a medium salad and it was plenty to eat. The dressing had a wonderful zing to it. I also ordered a freshly squeezed juice. It had beets and carrots. It was earthy and flavorful. I felt like my body needed the nutrients. The service and food were both excellent. I would love to come back and try even more of the menu. Highly recommended.

Chicken kabobs

Food was very good, only issues were dirty dishes sat on the table, slow to no service until I flagged another server over to get water. I watched the busser with a bus cart just stand there. He left the cart so I got up to clear the dishes. The other waitress came over, than the manager stopped to apologize.

Great experience, great food, great service. So much food and big portions!!! We got the family platter and the potatoes (amazing) and the lamb.

Mary was great. Helped us quickly and made great suggestions. The food was good, fast and fresh.

Lemon chicken and rice soup with the labneh
Jayni R.

Customer service was AMAZING. They very gracefully handled our table of 18 with multiple separate checks and a whole lot of those 18 people had no idea what they were ordering. They were so patient, helpful, and very efficient. Food was magnificent!! Highly recommend the labneh and the stuffed grape leaves. Great juices too!! Ambiance was warm and inviting. Loved it and would go there often if I lived here!

I feel this place must have been better in the past. Received a James Beard award in 2016. Looks like the exterior is currently being renovated. The restaurant itself is quite nice inside. Service wasn't the greatest the night I ate with a friend - slow, needed frequent reminders for food/drinks. The food itself was average. The meat was a bit dry. The freshly made pitas were fantastic along with the freshly squeezed juice. I would say average. Could probably do better in the Dearborn area

Combo Platter
Sam K.

I really had higher expectations seeing other reviews, but was left feeling disappointed with my meal. I ordered the combo platter with oriental rice and lentil soup on the side. All three meats were lacking in flavor and seasonings, and I had to drench in the sauces provided to make more palatable. The falafel was okay, not the best I've had but not the worse. The rice was also lacking flavor and the texture not very appetizing. The lentil soup was pretty standard, but the best part of the meal in my opinion. There was far too much bread in relation to the meat provided, and at nearly $30 I felt like it was overall very overpriced. This location is going through renovations so it was a bit difficult to find the entrance (at the back) for my pickup order. The cashier was not the friendliest. Overall, I don't think this restaurant lives up to its hype. I'll try another option next time I'm in town!

Food
Ketan B.

In town on a work trip and did my homework before picking a spot, and this place absolutely delivered. Al Ameer isn't just another Middle Eastern restaurant, it's a cornerstone of Dearborn's food scene and a James Beard America's Classics Award winner, which already sets expectations high. Somehow, it still exceeded them. I went all in and the table told the story. Fresh hummus with that perfect creamy texture and olive oil finish, crispy falafel that was light inside and not greasy, stuffed grape leaves done right, and a shawarma plate that honestly took me back to meals I've had in the Middle East. Everything tasted clean, balanced, and authentic, not overdone or watered down. The bread coming out warm sealed it. That detail alone says a lot about how seriously they take the food. Service was just as strong. Juju took great care of me, attentive without hovering, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. You can tell this place isn't trying to be trendy. It's just confident, consistent, and rooted in doing things the right way. That's probably why it's been recognized nationally and still packed with locals. If you're anywhere near Dearborn and want real Lebanese food, not a version of it, this is a must.

Youssef S.

New renovations look great! Very clean and classy. Food is still just as good. We got the raw kibbeh, cheese rolls, sambousek, hummus, chop chicken, fries, and tabouli. Food came out fast, fresh, and piping hot. Juju gave us awesome service, she was quick, friendly, and took care of us.

hummus
Grace J.

Very tasty shawarma! This is a nice dining area with booth seating and an extensive menu offering platter combos. I appreciated that the service was quick and kind.

First time here and I can't wait to come back. Food is extremely delicious, the flavors are very authentic and unique. Al-Ameer Mazar in the picture, I will also recommend you add a side of kefta kebab to your order Our server Ameer was very kind and professional 10/10

Large hummus, very good

We ordered the Cedar Feast platter for six, and every dish was outstanding. The meat ghallaba was tender and full of flavor, the lamb chops were juicy and perfectly cooked, and the kabobs and kafta were beautifully seasoned with the perfect char. The wings (soooo good!!!) falafel, fried kibbee, and stuffed grape leaves were all delicious. The hummus was incredibly creamy, the baba ghanoush was wonderfully smoky, and the tabbouli and fattoush were fresh, bright, and flavorful. From the warm, comforting soup to the last bite of the main dishes, everything was absolutely incredible. Truly! The portions- incredible!!! As amazing as the food was, Chelsea made the entire experience even better. She was so warm, friendly, kind, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we arrived. She has such a wonderful personality and made us feel completely at home. She took incredible care of us, made the whole meal fun and enjoyable, and treated us more like friends than customers. She was truly incredible! Chelsea has that rare ability to make people feel comfortable, appreciated, and happy to be there. The food alone would bring us back, but Chelsea turned an incredible dinner into a truly special and memorable experience. Thank you, Chelsea, for making our visit so wonderful. We cannot wait to come back and see you again!

The shawarma plates and chicken sandwiches came out loaded with flavor, and the fresh pita bread arrived warm in a plastic bag. The lentil soup and fattoush salad were hands down the best in the business, and they were complimentary, which immediately won me over. You definitely get your money's worth here. In fact, I needed a personal navigation system just to find my way through the mountain of rice on my plate. The service was top-notch--fast, friendly, and attentive. The staff moved with the kind of speed that makes you wonder if they secretly have rocket boosters attached to their shoes. The only thing keeping this from a 5-star rating is the decor. The interior feels like it hasn't been updated since the mid-90s, and the vibes are strictly retro in a way that wasn't intentional. If they give the dining area a quick facelift to match the quality of the kitchen, this place becomes an absolute 10 out of 10. Solid 4 stars. Great food, great people, and I will definitely be back with my appetite ready!

The food was outstanding. The lamb was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The fresh bread, rice, and overall quality of the meal reminded me why Dearborn has become one of my favorite food destinations whenever I'm in Michigan. What made the experience even better was the service from Murad. From the moment I sat down, Murad was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. He got my food out quickly, checked on me throughout the meal without being intrusive, and before I left, he thoughtfully brought me a wonderful cup of tea to finish the evening. His warm smile, positive attitude, and professionalism made a great meal even more memorable. Restaurants can serve excellent food, but great hospitality is what keeps people coming back. Murad is a perfect example of that. If management is reading this, he's doing an outstanding job representing your restaurant. I'll be back every time my travels bring me to Dearborn.

The veggies were Radish, cucumber and tomatoes. It's not bad, dressing is different than expected. Their big pita bread is fresh and good, soft and billowy too. The hummus, pita and fattoush was out first. The hummus is smooth and tasty. The foul or stewed beans not too bad. It's a tad bland and was just warm, not hot. The half chicken is dry rubbed and you can smell it, it's quite nice. The meat is tender and not dry. Tastes good with the salsa dip. The side salad is the Iraqi salad with pieces of lemon in it, rind and all. Takes some getting used to eating it. The quzi lamb meat was tender, but fatty, but not dry at all. The cheese borag is literally a mozzarella stick inside of a spring roll wrapper. It's good. Some tomato based dip would make it better or something with it.
