So, we went here after a long day so we were famished and quite looking forward to our meal. Now the appetizers were AMAZING, especially the kibbeh. It was steaming hot and freshly made. The falafel were good and authentic. We ordered a few appetizers and a few entrees. The general consensus at the table was that the food was decent. Personally, I ordered mjaddara (for those who don't know what that is, it's a vegetarian dish with rice, lentils, and onions). I have never tried it before but it's not my favorite. Now overall, the place is plain, but do not let that fool you. The food is really good. We were catered to that day by the owner and she was nice and hel read more

What a gem. My fiance and I went here during the coming blackout, we paid in cash, and we're also celebrating our 99 days until we get married. We shared hummus, and a cucumber yogurt dip. Phil said the pita was great. The hummus ans cucumber dip was delicious. I ordered the falafel salad and that was amazing. Phil got the mujadara plate and he really enjoyed it as well. The owner came out and she was friendly and our server was awesome. Can't wait to try more items. read more

Great place. I've come here before for the veg appetizer platter and rotisserie chicken. Today for lunch I opted for the falafel with baba and wasn't disappointed. Service always with a smile. Humble space but with nice ambience. read more

Recently came for a late lunch and everything was wonderful. Much more seating compared to her last location, with a mix of bar, booth, and table seating. We were greeted right away by friendly Amira, and our food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time too. I ordered Amiras tea to start and a water to enjoy with chicken shawarma. Both were excellent! I also am obsessed with Manakeesh so I ordered a mix plate of it knowing I would take most of it home (and that's fine, it's great the next day too). Service was phenomenal as she came back frequently to check on us and give us our bill. FYI, there is a "3% admin fee" which I believe is when you pay with a card. Love everything here and hope to come back again soon! read more

Food is five stars. Absolutely wonderful. Service tonight is like one star maybe two stars but you know what I think it was a new server and language was a real problem so I didn't want to jeopardize the places reviews because of what might have been a bad night The only time I've been there. Based on the food it's absolutely five stars I had lamb chops which were done perfectly The hummus and the baba ghanoush and the falafels were just perfect. Anyway my family and I will go back there. read more

Good Palestinian food and nice service. Food is halal. The mix kebab platter was great especially with the garlic sauce. The lentil soup was mediocre though. It was a bit too sour. I make better at home. read more

I had a chance to check out this place when I ordered it from them for a event at work. It was such a pleasant experience working with them. Amira was kind flexible and helped me determine a suitable menu for more than 200 participants. They came highly recommended and according to the students they did not disappoint. I really appreciate that. This is an authentic Palestinian own place with quality food. They were pretty affordable and offered delivery service. I can't wait to hang out and try them again. read more

Fresh, delicious food with beautiful Arabic music In the background. Fast and friendly service. Definitely go there again and try all the great options. read more

Amira is very friendly. We chatted while my food was being made. She had a business on Tonawanda St near Black Rock for 43 years before moving into the current restaurant location at Cayuga & Cleveland Dr. I ordered the Vegetarian Combo appetizer, with hummus, tabouli, baba gannouj, falafel, and Dawali and the Lamb Kabob roll, with a little spice. Everything was made fresh and tasted so good. I'm glad I can walk here for lunch! read more

Absolutely delicious food! It's a must visit for foodies in the Buffalo metro area. This is my new go-to for Middle Eastern food!

Delicious, flavorful food! My wife and I found this place, with great ratings, on yelp, and decided to visit. We met Amira, a very sweet, friendly woman. We started with hot tea and Sambosa as an appetizer. We also ordered Amira's Mixed Grill, which included lamb, beef, and chicken over a bed of rice. Also included was Arabian salata. The food was amazing! Also of note, was the cleanliness of the restaurant ... Amira's pride regarding her restaurant is obvious - She told us about a remodeling project, but honestly, the place looks great, but I have to admire her for the improvements she is doing. Anybody looking to explore something different should visit Amira's Kitchen. Ms. Amira, Thank you! read more

I enjoyed a nice lunch with Amira's Kitchen. I am so glad I visited. They promote "All are welcome," and I felt welcome from the moment I entered. I enjoyed their 1/2 chicken w/ 2 sides and was not disappointed. The chicken was a good sized bird and flavorful with the juice locked in. The skin had a nice char that was very enjoyable. For my two sides I added the tabouli and Arabian Salata. I absolutely loved the tabouli. OMG the Parsley did not dominate the dish. It was a nice balance and very enjoyable. The Salata was very good, but wish I'd tried their rice instead. Between the two I def would go with the tabouli. The portions were reasonable for $23. I added a Sprite for $2. I would return and recommend supporting this local business. read more

This was our first time going to Amiras and it definitely won't be our last!!! We were greeted by Amira, who is absolutely the sweetest! Started with the hummus and pita bread, so good. I tried the beef kefta and he had the mixed grill. Everything was so fresh and delicious! We can't wait to go back and try some of Amiras suggestions! read more

As a Middle East-born and raised Shawarma enthusiast, I had to stop by to check out this place. As an appetizer, we ordered 5 sambusas for $11. We then ordered a beef kefta plate and a chicken shawarma. Amira was extremely friendly and stopped by the table. She stated that the rotisserie chicken was one of the most popular items. As a shawarma enthusiast, mostly as this was my snack of choice for the first 18 years of my life, I chose the "chicken shawarma wrap" for $13. The marriage between the meat and the other items was perfect. The shawarma was not dry and well put together. Now, I was very disappointed with the rotisserie chicken used. This is not shawarma style meat. The chicken is supposed to be tender in the center and crispy on the side, and also not taste like rotisserie chicken. My friends beef kefta plate($25) was good. They also charge for water. The prices are on the higher side compared to another competitor in the area, though the kebabs are decent. read more

Possibly closed? Arrived around 5 pm on a Saturday to find lights out, door locked, no cars in lot.

Party of 8 and First time trying this restaurant- we were the first group to arrive before what seemed like the dinner rush and We were seated and attended to right away. Owner took down our order and was great about answering our menu questions. All of the dishes came out pretty close to one another. They missed one side of our order but when we addressed it, it was corrected right away. The food itself was very good, portions were generous, and every one of us was left more than satisfied. Must encourage everyone to order the mint lemonade, as well as the mujadara. Delicious. read more

Authentic and delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. Family run restaurant. You can taste the love of cooking in each bite. Everything was fresh and delicious. Halal. The mixed grill was fantastic. The grilled lamb chops were a juicy meaty treat - a great find! The grilled meat entrees were served with basmati rice that's blended with vermicelli and slivered almonds. I could keep eating the rice alone! So good! As the other yelpers have written previously, the baba ganoush was outstanding. So creamy and seasoned perfectly. The mint lemonade was wonderful on hot and humid summer evening. Portion sizes very generous . Pricing is fair considered it made fresh with good ingredients and meats. Amira and her husband are running this family restaurant. Amira served us. She made sure we all enjoyed our food. I know we will be back to try more on the menu very soon! Dinner on 8/4/23. read more

I've only had Amira's takeout, delicious food and quick service. The rotisserie chicken is what they're known for, I also enjoyed the hummus, falafel, and chicken schwarma. read more

I came in to get lunch today and I got the Amira's Favorite Combo. It was made fresh but still didn't take very long at all to wait. The vibe is really cute and everything was clean. The combo came with 1/2 chicken, veggie rice, black beans and a pastellio. The pastellio was tasty and it was baked as opposed to fried but still very crispy and nice. The rice was really good too, but the chicken was definitely my favorite part. It was super juicy but not in a way that made it seem all chewy and weird like chicken can sometimes get. It was really delicious. Next time I go i'm really excited to try their other menu options, they really do have something for everyone. I think you would have a hard time finding someone who couldn't find something they would like here. Definitely will be going back! read more

Food was delicious. We ordered a veggie combo, beef kafta wrap and grill combo. The service was almost non existent. Then we got the bill, noticed that there was a 4% admin fee and an 18% tip added already. Asked the server and was told that the system does that automatically. We ended up paying cash. I just wish the restaurant was upfront about the added credit card fee. Tip % should not be mandatory. read more

Amira's cuisine is authentically delicious, fresh, and tastes like it's homemade. Service is extremely attentive. They have always been very gracious and accommodating -- I move around using a walker and my wife has her service dog with us. Everyone will go out of their way to ensure we are well pleased with the food and service and makes us feel at home. There is ample room with spacious booths. We have adopted Amira's as our go-to restaurant any time we visit the Buffalo area. read more

All items ordered were outstanding. If anyone who likes Middle Eastern food, check out Amira's Kitchen. It has the best authentic Middle Eastern food in WNY. I thought the hummus and tabouli were excellent but the real winner for me was the baba ghanouj. Smoky flavor with just the right amount of garlic and tahini The stuffed grapeleaves had a nice lemon taste. The pita was fresh and warm. Amira and her husband make everything from scratch. Very friendly. read more

I happened to notice that there is an Amiras on Cleveland, so I came home to look it up. I do not know what happened, but my review was never posted from 2 years ago. I'm 67 years old, so I'm going to try and recall the food. That restaurant was very clean, and we got one of the warmest welcomes. The owner explained everything to us. We got the tasty moist, well seasoned whole chicken, fries, salad, pita, and that delicious creamy hummus. I would definitely recommend this place for great comfort food, with a homelike atmosphere drhttps://photos.app.goo.gl/MupRjxZEstSWpV2k7https://photos.app.goo.gl/MupRjxZEstSWpV2k7 read more

I have enjoyed having meals at Amira's kitchen on several occasions recently. Their rotisserie chicken is delicious and always tender and full of flavor. It's the best rotisserie chicken in the area. Their rice is my favorite side, it has some tasty seasonings. We have also enjoyed the mixed grill, pastillos, hummus, baba ganoush and more. All outstanding, fresh and flavorful food. The restaurant has a nice dining area and the service is always kind and attentive. I have also gotten takeout, which is always quick and with generous portions. read more

Stopped by for lunch with a friend and truly left so full and happy. Amira greeted and welcomed us and talked us through the menu before we ordered. My friend is vegetarian so we were very glad there was options on the menu for her. We started with the vegetarian platter as an appetizer. And then got a few other things to try. The mint lemonade made in house was refreshing. I enjoyed my beans and plantains, the kibbe was so flavorful like everything else. You sort of just find yourself eating and wanting more. I really look forward to coming back. The food was delicious and tasty and made you feel good. read more

Every dish was delicious no complaints discovered this place because there was an article on this I read up on.

Most definitely a hidden gem in my opinion and if your around the riverside area check the place out amazing! read more
