Amazing food. All scratch and the flavor is spot on! The prices are too low but maybe that's because they want to drive up volume? Hummus is the best I have had ever! Ta-zi-key was real good real good! I had the gyro plate and it was too much food, great pita bread, rice, salad and gyro meat, too much to eat! $16 low price too for that much food. I can't wait to go back and get lamb and babaganush. This spot is flavor town for sure. Don't miss out on there own house made hot sauce; flavor off the chart! read more

This place is bomb! I would have to say this is now my and my family's favorite Mediterranean restaurant. It is located in a small plaza but the inside is roomy and cozy. You order at the front and then seat yourself, and the staff were very nice and answered all our questions as there were some new items we were not familiar with. We ordered the combo special plate (one beef and one chicken skewer), shish Taouk (chicken skewers), shakshuka, chicken shawarma plate, veggie combo tapas plate, and homemade lemonade between a family of four. The food took at least 10 minutes to prepare but everything was made fresh. The homemade lemonade was mixed with a ton of mint, and it ended up tasting more minty than lemonadey; I give it a 5 out of 5. Chicken Shwarma - the chicken was the best marinated chicken I've had at a Mediterranean restaurant thus far, and I've gone to many. The salad, rice, and hummus were also very good. 5 out of 5. Shakshuka - The portion was on the smaller side but it was full of flavor and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Came with four pieces of pickle, which paired well with the shakshuka. 5 out of 5. Shish Taouk - This was new to me and the chicken skewer/kabob was seasoned perfectly and juicy off the skewer. Not a hint of dryness whatsoever, and it tasted so good with the tzatziki sauce. 5 out of 5. Veggie Combo Tapas Plate - came with baba ganoush, hummus, tabbouleh, Mediterranean salad, and falafel. Portion great for sharing. Everything tasted delicious and my husband, who struggles with GERD, said he did not have a reaction after eating and of these (especially the hummus). 5 out of 5. The service was great; the employee always checked up on us and got us sauces and drinks. Bathroom was clean, and there were quite a few folks coming in (this is a good sign). We will definitely be coming back! read more

New location for Mediterranean food SW of town. Conveniently located off of the freeway in a plaza with plenty of parking. There's decent amount of seating inside, no outside seating. They are still getting into their groove but it was nice to see that there were repeat customers while I was there. I also met the owner and partner. They were both very friendly and ready to strike up a conversation. I went for lunch on Saturday and I was the only one there so it was pretty quiet and quick. A few people arrived shortly after and sounded like they've been there before. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate which came with a salad, rice, hummus and one pita bread. The pita was nice and freshly baked. The chicken shawarma was their take on it, not the traditional kind which was a little disappointing. Tasted fine but not the traditional flavoring and process. I also tried both the katayef- walnut and cheese. Definitely like the walnut one. And tried the baklava which theirs was made with almonds. None of the desserts were overly sweet which was nice. read more

Amena Cafe is a fantastic restaurant located on Jones and Badura. You'll find them in a small plaza with good parking. Inside is a casual atmosphere with adequate seating and lovely Mediterranean music playing. Menu offers a nice selection of salads, soups, specialty dishes, grilled plates, vegetarian and vegan dish, as well as desserts and drinks. Falafel Plate ($15.51) is very filling and delicious! It comes with seven balls of deep-fried crispy and moist chickpeas, served with creamy hummus, fresh pita bread, and a refreshing salad of green and red cabbage with a hint of citrus, diced tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, and pickled red beets, it's delightful and really good! Also tried various desserts including Knafeh (small, $10.34) which is a delicate sweet crunchy noodle pastry filled with melted cheese and topped with chopped pistachios, it doesn't come with syrup and you can request for it. This pairs nicely with Hot Tea ($3.92), and they use black tea that is strong and soothing. Baklava ($3.61) is good too but also very sweet. Pastry is nice and crispy with walnuts filling and sweet syrup, I ate just a tiny portion. My personal favorite is Ma'amoul cookies (2 pieces, $6.19), it's a traditional Lebanese shortbread butter cookie that has delicious fillings such as walnuts, pistachios, or dates, and these are outstanding! The cookies are freshly made in house and baked with a light golden exterior crisp. I tried one with walnuts which has a beautiful crunch, is lightly sweetened, and so yummy! The other cookie has dates, it's delightful, very smooth consistency almost like jam, not too sweet, and excellent! They also offer desserts like Katayef (a small folded pancake stuffed with nuts or sweet cream) and Chocolate Quicker (similar to chocolate balls). Service from owner Asim is very kind, welcoming, attentive, personable, and friendly! read more

I ordered the chicken Schwarma plate to go and it was delicious. A lot of meat, but a little sad there wasn't enough rice, as the rice was delicious! I'm definitely going back to try other items and also I recommend to get or order extra sides of their garlic sauce!! Cute spot, clean and new. Also I think it was the owner, and he was very nice and friendly. Support your local businesses! read more

Craving Middle Eastern Food especially Lebanese- then this is your place. Recently reopened to a new location. The service is impeccable- owner, chef, and server were attentive. Very helpful on explaining the food and made sure that the food we order is to our liking. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share- hummus, zataar flatbread, fries, and kibbeh. They had different sauces in the table and also gave us tzatziki. They give you plenty of bread- made in house. The chicken and beef shawarma were delicious- flavorful and not dry, comes with rice and salad. The lentil soup is so good. Beef kofta plate is delicious. Make sure to have the mint lemonade - so good. Make room for dessert- we did have to wait for the kunafeh which is made fresh. Totally worth the wait. Make sure to ask for extra syrup/sauce. Perfect with Turkish coffee. Definitely coming back and trying other item in the menu. Great to support local business. read more

K and I visited for a weekend lunch. We entered and were greeted right away. I had an unsweetened iced tea and we shared a babaganoush, lentil soup and a chicken and beef skewer combo plate. Iced tea was great and free refills. Homemade pita and babaganoush was yummy. Lentil soup was a huge serving; not as thick as I'm used to but we enjoyed it. The skewer combo plate came with good portions of rice, salad and hummus. Steak skewer was really tender and we enjoyed both skewers. I thought we'd have some leftovers with the amount of food we got but we finished everything. Friendly service and laid back atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

Great food and service! Saw several reviews and wanted to try this spot. Having been to the Middle East we were curious on how authentic it would be. We were not disappointed with our orders and found several of the items as good as what we had overseas, and some even better. The freshly baked pita and hummus were outstanding. Parking was easy on the weekend and staff were great. read more

I tried Amena Cafe last night while on a business trip in Vegas and loved it. The owner is a super friendly guy and was very welcoming. The food was amazing. I ordered the beef shawarma plate which came with the super flavorful and perfect texture shawarma, rice, a nice lemony flavored salad, some great hummus and a pita. Their pita was so soft and pillowy. Perfect texture. Their house made tahini is great drizzled on top of the food. I highly recommend checking out Amena for great Middle Eastern food. read more

Amena Cafe - Beef Shawarma Plate. EXCELLENT! - Mediterranean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Welcome to the new hidden gem relocated from spring valley at Decatur. You can try, but you may not find a more authentic, quality Mediterranean experience in town. Everything is more fresh and flavorful than you can imagine. We started with tabbouleh- bright, fresh flavorful. I had the chicken salad, which had a deep complex flavor of cumin and other spices perfectly offset with cabbage and parsley. My wife had kibbeh, cutting it open you can see they are hand prepped with fresh chopped onions and perfect blend of spices. Their in-house hot sauce and tahini pair well with everything we had. Hand cut fresh potatoes for the fries and shish taouk were perfect. I cannot emphasize enough how fresh and flavorful everything was. This kind of authenticity and quality is hard to find. This place is a southwest side gem and instant must. read more

We were traveling and our tastebuds were craving something new and exciting. We did a search of restaurants in the area and Amena Cafe popped up. What a find! When dining, there is service and then there is service + hospitality. At Amena, from the moment we walked through the doors, Asim (co-owner) greeted us with the best hospitality and service we've received in years!! Asim made recommendations that were on point, the food was absolutely flavorful, and he checked on us as if we were guests in his home. I have an aversion to overcooked and bone dry meat so I was crossing my fingers when I ordered the Beef Kofta plate. Wow, wow, woooowwwww. The beef was delicious and I could even break it apart with my fork. We ordered hummus (pictured on my plate) and that was rich in flavor as well. My child ordered lentil soup and ate it ALL. That's saying something! We also met Amer (co-owner/founder) who was great! We would return here in a heartbeat and are trying to convince them to open a location in Reno. If they do, I'm moving into their restaurant just so I can access phenomenal food 24/7. Huge thanks to Asim for such a memorable dining experience! read more

Everything is made fresh. I went here with my wife and we both shared the Kunefe and that also tasted f***ing amazing. Will dine there again with my wife. read more

Amazing Mediterranean & Greek Food! Amena Cafe is an absolute gem. The owner, Asmi, greeted us personally and was incredibly warm and friendly--you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The food was unbelievably fresh; you can truly taste the love and care put into every dish. This is not your typical gyro spot. The flavors are authentic, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully balanced. Every dish felt genuine and homemade, the kind of food that keeps you thinking about it long after the meal is over. I will make it a point to return to Amena Cafe every single time I visit Las Vegas. Highly recommend to anyone craving real Mediterranean and Greek cuisine. ******* read more

The meat has no flavor, the rice is definitely not seasoned & the salad has a weird dressing... I definitely wouldn't recommend.

Went here to try it out with some friends...and it didn't stand a chance against three girls hungry on Valentine's Day LMAO.

I found this restaurant on social media, and I'm glad I bookmarked it because the food was so good! The man who was working was helpful and accommodating. He explained everything that he set down on the table for us, and we were able to try their pickled vegetables, homemade lemonade, and fries thanks to him. I liked that the shawarma wrap is toasted so there's a crunch! I've been wanting to try kunafe for so long and finally tried it here will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu! read more

Great place to eat. I flew from California to buy a car in Las Vegas and came across this restaurant. I love the printed menu. It lists what each entrée has and the benefits this type of food gives to your body. Pretty ingenious way to make you feel good about what you're eating. I ordered the lunch special (ends at 2 pm), which was a great price for a chicken shawarma wrap, fries, and a canned soda. The wrap was super tasty, but the star of the show was the fries. I've never had fries like this from a Mediterranean restaurant which are usually limp and soft. These were perfectly seasoned and cooked with a crispiness I've never experienced before. They were excellent! The gentlemen who took care of me is a "salt of the earth" kind of guy who "makes the food with love". Although I'm not much of the social type, I found myself very comfortable speaking with him. Every customer that came in had a nice, pleasant conversation with him. Nothing overbearing or intrusive about this gentleman. Very nice guy, very welcoming and extremely clean dining area with great Lebanese food and music. I wish they had a location in Los Angeles, I'd be there a few times a week. I highly recommend this restaurant, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain with a great and healthy meal. What a jewel of a find! read more
