Ameer is my new favorite at the city market. I unexpectedly decided to try them when the taco shop next to it was closed one day- and what a surprise, they have a great gyro plate. They put generous amount of meat in the box and the sauce that is on top is not the tzatziki sauce. I don't know what it is, but that was such a great addition of flavor to the plate! For the volume, price and speed this place definitely deserves 5 stars! read more

You can never go wrong, ordering whatever special curry they have made for the day. Today was chicken end in a delicious sauce, perfectly cooked and served over excellent rice. I got the spinach and falafel on the side. They have been a fixture at the city market for decades - and their cooking shows it. read more

This place can be found in the City Market building and serves up delicious, authentic middle eastern cuisine. I tend to go during the week lunch hour, which is the busiest time but I still always get my food within five minutes if ordering (and usually less!). I get the gyro pate which is filling and delicious and only $9.99. read more

I used to go to Ameer when I lived in Indianapolis, every Friday, and get the Kofta with rice and the spinach side. I missed it dearly. And missed the owner and his wife, they were always so kind and lovely. I've never found an equivalent yummy dishes anywhere here (Jacksonville). read more

The food here is amazing and so is the man who runs it. He is very passionate about Ameer and gives great portions. I got the vegetarian plate and the food was delicious. Great service as well. Right when I walked up he asked what I would like. I will continue eating here and supporting a local business! read more

First of all, it's impossible to make a decision on what to eat when you're in City Market because everything looks great. But what looked and sounded best to me that day, was Mediterranean. I wanted a gyro and I wanted spanakopita. Ameer to the rescue! I ordered a gyro pita and spanakopita (got the last one!). The pita is so light and fluffy with deliciously flavored gyro meat - I was full all afternoon. The spanakopita was an extra treat. I went for this instead of a side because it's hard to resist feta and spinach wrapped up in a perfect blanket of crispy phyllo dough. It's a no-nonsense stand, no frills, but the food is great. I paid at the counter - they take cards with a square reader/iPad and had a fabulous lunch for under $10. read more

This place was excellent! My husband and I stopped by on a Thursday afternoon during the lunch rush (and FFA was in town!) but we got through the line very quickly. Both of our meals were delicious. My husband got a chicken shawarma sandwich that he mentioned would be good with a few more banana peppers but was still great. I got a beef meal with some kind of yogurt sauce and a side of potatoes. It was soooo good! At first, I didn't expect the flavor of the sauce over the beef, but really came to love it. I'm excited to go back and try a few more things :) We ended our experience with some baklava which was perfect. Like little flaky, nutty, honey pinwheels. Wow. Definitely stop in here if you get a chance! read more

A longtime staple of City Market offerings homemade ethnic food. Sandwiched between the Mexican restaurant and the back of a vegan restaurant, it's easy to overlook this family owned restaurant. Dishes are soo fresh that a fresh batch of rice was brought out in the skillet it was prepared in. I usually get the chicken and rice with spinach which enough for two meals! The Gyro combination is really good as well. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and skip the burger and pizza and try this delicious home cooking. read more

The food is great and the crew is just the nicest group of people. I recommend the shwarma and the kebabs!

Food is amazing, you need to check this place out. Hidden gem! City Market is also a nostalgic place!

I've been searching around for some decent shawarma in Indianapolis. I haven't even been able to find mediocre shawarma. But then I tried Ameer yesterday. Amazingly good shawarma sandwich. Served piping hot with just the perfect blend of spice and sauce and goodness. If you've wondered if good shawarma can be found anywhere in Indy like I have, your quest is at an end. This put even some NYC places to shame. Great food and the couple running it were as nice as could be. read more

Ameer - a sandwich in a styrofoam container on a table - Middle Eastern Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Ameer has a new and expanded menu along with old favorites. I really enjoyed the vegetarian plate (falafel, babaganoush, hummus, pita, salad)--it was filling. The lentil soup is great. I look forward to trying more of the new items. read more

Gourmet! excellent vegan food in city market. I love this place and it is fine cuisine at market prices. owner is always serving.

This restaurant in the west wing of the City Market has managed to elude me for quite some time now. Alas, I finally found it and immediately had to try it last week. The value of the daily special was disappointing - I'd was expecting a side, a salad, and pita along with the special, but no, it was just the special and rice - that's it. Once I dug into it though, the food was very good. Great flavor and just all around yum. I'll be back to try the veg items on their menu - stay tuned for updates. :) read more

Delicious, authentic, and extremely friendly service! Sami was really helpful!

What I would like to do is take a nice thick drinking straw and stick it down deep in that sauce and just sit there for like 45 minutes, almost breathing the Korma sauce deep into my gut. Purely, deadly, delicious. I'd like to ladle that stuff into my pockets and walk around warm and flavorful all day. Friendly, quick service. read more

Ameer - Chicken Kurma and spinach to go. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I've only been inside City Market a few times, and I grab a gyro from Ameer every time! The meat is so tender and flavorful. But what really gets me is the pita bread. It's so soft and warm and fresh. I could eat a stack of this pita bread all day if I had to. The combo meals make it easy to order quickly, and my meal is ready in a flash. Super convenient if you're on your lunch break and have a time crunch. read more

First off, the price can't be beat. Ameer undersells their City Market competitor by a long shot; you can get a drink, gyro, and chips for the price of the gyro alone at the other place. At this visit I only got the gyro, which was pretty tasty I must say. It could've used more tzatziki sauce, but that's really just a matter of preference. If you're visiting City Market for lunch definitely check them out. They have daily specials and combo meals, and there's almost always a line here. read more

The cutest couple runs this stand in City Market. I absolutely LOVE it!! The falafel special is of course a favorite and I'm sad they don't offer it the rest of the week. I really like the combo plates - meat, rice and a side. You get a lot of bang for your buck with that. The chicken shwarma sandwich is also a filling lunch. The pita is delicious! Worth the trip to City Market and a must if you're in the area. The line is sometimes long but moves fast compared to other stands where you wait half your lunch hour for your meal to come out. read more

The food is excellent!! It is run by a mom and pop couple! The food is freshly made and the portions are very generous. It is not spicy but very flavorful! I had the beef in a white sauce - the sauce was somewhat sweet possible made with cream and I think I detected a hint of cardamon maybe an additional spice like cloves, or allspice, and of course a very slight onion taste - which is part of the base of the sauce! They put it over the rice if u get the combo mmmmm rice with the sauce - a must! Also tried the mixed veg with cabbage - the flavors in this where more subtle than I like - mostly just slightly steamed veg. with slight seasoning. I also tried the cauliflower in a tomato sauce - it was good but still lacking in the punch I was looking for. I will go again and keep trying different veg till I get one that is more aromatic and dances on my tongue! Lastly - the ice tea they make.... Is spiced it is SO yummy!!!!! If u are in or near city market at lunch I highly recommend this tasty alternative! It is cash only so don't forget ur money! From the looks of it they change the menu depending on day - I was there on a Wednesday. read more

Delicious food crafted by a Jordanian couple. Their kindness shows in their great customer service. The man in line before me was a retired judge who comes from the other side of town every Monday to get their falafel, which says something. I had the Monday special, a kind of chicken in a yogurt sauce with rice. It was tasty and very filling. If you are a cardamom enthusiast I recommend their hot tea. I loved this place and will definitely be back! read more

Mediterranean themed carryout place located in City Market along the east wall. As a previous review said, it's a mom and pop place and the service is very friendly (the "mom" is especially sweet and friendly every time). I can't speak for much of the menu because I always go with the Barbeque Chicken dish -- a few pieces of juicy roast chicken served with brown rice and your choice of vegetable (I always go with steamed). Very hearty and satisfying, yet healthy. I no longer work across the street but when I did this was one of my favorite City Market places....was downtown meeting a friend yesterday and made it a point to grab some carryout from here before heading back home Once again, a great lunch. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Food and service is always a delight! The cleanest kitchen and the best tea served hot or cold. I like to try the daily specials I don't always know how to pronounce but, I can always enjoy the dishes!! Come try it for lunch one day you will not be disappointed... read more

finally made it down for the Tuesday Special, the Spanakopita, a flaky pie stuffed with spinach & cheese, paired with a cucumber sauce, a Marriage made in Heaven, served with a raisin rice on the side, i LOVE the kifta Any day of the week, don't forget the Tea cash only right now read more

I have a hard time with restaurants modifying or westernizing foreign foods to satisfy the pallet of the general public. I completely understand the need for it and it's good business sense, but it doesn't sit well with me. I had the mujadara lunch special and it was pretty good...but its true flavor and identity is much different without the modifications made. To me it could have easily passed as Chinese food and real mujadara wouldn't have been close to being mistaken for anything else. read more

To be honest I completely forget the name of the dish I got, but it was one of their combos that features chicken and rice covered in a mild red sauce plus two sides (I got the green beans and spinach.) The spinach was full of flavor, the green beans while good were nothing unique. The chicken was tender and the sauce had a mild spice to it. Overall you get a good amount of food for the money and the service was great! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Gyros sandwich was unbelievable. I guess I'm too accustomed to the fake stuff, frozen/microwaved meat blends with old sauce, dry pita bread. This sandwich was the real thing! The meat was juicy on one side and nicely seared from the rotisserie on the other. The tzatziki sauce was tangy and fresh. The tomatoes and onions had a ton of flavor that nicely enhanced the gyros meat. And the bread was soft and soaked up the little bit of juice from the meat. I know there's other cool places to try in the City Market, but I'll be hard pressed not to make a bee-line back to Ameer! read more

Was expecting rather more given the reviews. Had the Gyro sandwich; the gyro isn't the real thing (which is layers of meat, placed on a vertical skewer and grilled) but one of the prefabricated elephant leg things. Maybe should have had the special.. read more

The Friday special is what I live for. Mujadara- carmelized onions, lentil and rice pilaf with the salad and yogurt sauce. Yum! Cash only!

Wonderful comfort food. Try the Makshi (ground beef in tomato sauce on eggplant over rice) or Rolled Grape Leaves specials on Wednesdays. Also highly recommend the Chicken Schwarma Sandwich and Chicken Kurma. Add the hot green sauce at the counter! read more
