We went there for an anniversary dinner as this place has been on my radar for most of the year. Very classy interiors so do dress up if you are going. There is valet parking but we happened to park in a parking lot/open garage right next to the restaurant. We were seated and our server was fantastic. He made sure to be mindful of any allergies or dietary restrictions we had noted. We decided to opt for the Silk Road menu option where you share a tray of spreads, each pick a mezze item and choose your own main and then share a baklava for dessert. The spreads came accompanied by some of the best pillowy pita bread I have ever had. My favorite of the spreads was the beet mutabal and the muhamara. For some of the mezze or main options there is a surcharge depending on the item you are picking. I got the moussskan chicken rolls while my bf opted for the sultana salad. The chicken rolls were delicious paired against a cold labneh for a dip. Now the main item of the night for me was undoubtedly the lamb shank. Tender fall of the bone meat, seasoned with warm spices without being too overseasoned. My one slight complaint (and honestly a pet peeve) is when you have so much of the protein item but not the same amount of rice served with it. The rice is a carby delivery vehicle for the lamb. More rice please, haha. Now this would have been a 4.5 star if they did not have some of the best non alchoholic mocktails I have ever tasted. That one pro washed out the following con. My bf's vegan main item was very much an afterthought as far as a main dishes go. Sure they had a lot of vegetarian options for main, but the one main vegan item they had was just some stewed veggies. It was delicious no doubt, but it's almost like what you would order as a side dish not a main. I wish they would develop a couple better options for a vegan main. The mocktails kept this from dropping from a 5 star. Tray of baklavas were yummy, but they were so teeny tiny. All in all highly recommend Ammoora. read more

Worth the hype! Food: everything we had was delicious - as first timers, we wanted to try as many dishes as possible so we shared 5 apps, 2 entrees and 4 desserts among 4 people and it was the perfect amount of food. Highlights were halloumi cigars, baba ghanoush, falafel, short rib freekeh, kofta kawaj, lemon curd dessert and Lebanese dessert (not a fan of the sweet cream base but the Arabic cotton candy was a showstopper) Ambiance: this place is super cute and very Instagrammable Service: attentive - quick to refill our waters and offer us more fresh bread Price point: definitely on the expensive side so save for a special occasion! read more

Ammoora - Baba Ganoush, Hummus, Tabbouleh, and drinks - Mediterranean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with such great service. When you get there, you have the option of valet parking which is $13. There's also a coat check at the entrance. The intricate textiles and dim lighting set such a calming mood, not to mention the fountains spread throughout the restaurant. I ordered the short rib and my friend had the samke tajen (salmon) and we both cleared our plates. The stars of the night had to be the dessert! I had the baklava assortment and my friend tried the ashta bil asal. If you have a sweet tooth this will definitely satisfy that craving. It can get overwhelming sweet after a while so share these desserts! I will say this is a good place to share the meal with the people you're with because the portions are pretty shareable. I would for sure come again to try some of the appetizers on their menu! read more

If you are in the Baltimore area and looking for a perfect date night, bring friends or celebrate a moment then visit Ammoora. Now I give it a 4 out of 5 because the vibes and the look is it. The food however is about a 3.8 and they have a long way to go to improve the taste. Maybe we got the wrong thing but I think there needs to be a little bit more spring of seasoning on the food items. The drinks are good and strong. The service was well and staff was super helpful and guiding us through the menu. read more

This was one of my favorite group dinners this year. I will say this is not a restaurant you want to come with a budget. Plates are pricey but the flavor and environment are worth the price. My group was a bit loud so we had to remind ourselves it's a fine dining type of establishment but had a great time. The service was great bartenders were nice and waitresses were attentive. They have valet for $12 which helps out with parking stress. And they have a drop off area in case you take a Lyft or Uber. read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a nice host. The ambience of the restaurant had a very nice intimate and cozy feeling to it. The open kitchen was very nice to see as you can see the quality control of how the chefs are cooking the food. The food was amazing and you have to try the beef hummus. The wait time for the food was a little longer than I expected, but the quality shows in the food and it was worth the wait. The desserts are very interesting. I was a little skeptical about the cotton candy dessert but it had a very nice texture to it. However, I was not that much of a fan of the rose-y flavor of the cream. overall, the experience was great and I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a date night that is more formal with great food and a great atmosphere.

Management needs some work. Found a hair in our food, which for this fancy of an establishment and at this price point was disappointing. However, I've never been more appalled by restaurant management when they returned to our table with the food in question to tell us that we were wrong - it wasn't a human hair but rather eggplant skin. Sorry to inform the chef but the skin of an eggplant DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HUMAN HAIR. I am in disbelief that this restaurant would try to gaslight us into thinking otherwise. It's a shame because the rest of the meal was delicious. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

This was an experience. Ammoora is a Syrian restaurant in Baltimore at the Ritz Carlton. The food was amazing. The coffee was amazing (without and cream or sugar, it was delicious). I had the Short Rib Freekeh... DELICIOUS. The pomegranate seeds were a great addition. I also tasted my husband's Braised Lamb Shank. Tasty! The service was great. The decor was beautiful. I would definitely go back to try other things on the menu. read more

Ugh! 4 for the cocktails. 2 for the food. This place was bookmarked in my Yelp page. I was anxiously waiting to try. I'm glad we decided to try them for happy hour vs dinner. If you're alone, it's a boring happy hour. You need company. Nice ambiance. Picturesque. The cocktails are fire! The bartender and servers are great. Attentive, nice, all the things but the food. The food fell so short for us. Happy hour on a Thursday, my good girlfriend and I and 3 others at the bar. We tried: KEBBET KARAZ ($10) - minced beef meatballs, burghul, dry mint, sour cherry reduction, cinnamon, gremolata, toasted pine nuts. They were so hard, so dry and inedible for us, we both tried one and couldn't get through the rest. The picture shows the uneaten portion. It was also extremely sweet, no balance with spice or salt. MOUSAKHAN CHICKEN ROLLS ($10) - braised sumac chicken, caramelized onions, saj bread rolls, sumac labneh dip (2 piece). Ummm, they were okay. The chicken is minced. We were not expecting minced chicken because the menu says braised. Maybe it's braised then minced :/ We loved both spreads. We tried: HUMMUS ($8) MUHAMARA ($8) - roasted red peppers, red chili paste, walnuts, pomegranate molasses, tahini, olive oil We went with whatever cocktail of the day was. It was gin based and so dern good! read more

The restaurant is beautiful. The decor fits the cuisine perfectly. But the main dining room was extremely loud. I was so glad I was seated in the front of the restaurant where it was more calm. My waitress was lovely. She always had a smile. She gave excellent recommendations. I even enjoyed her laugh with the snort. I ordered from the restaurant week menu. For my appetizer I had the Brussel sprouts with hummus. They were good. I would've never paired the two and it was great. For my entree I had the chicken and lamb kabobs with grilled peppers sided with rice. It was great. The meat was so soft it was easy to cut and melted in your mouth. Seasoned & grilled to perfection. For dessert I had the cake and chocolate bar. I did not enjoy it. The citrus was to overpowering in the cake. The chocolate was too rich for my liking. It might be great for some else but it wasn't for me. I had two zero proof drinks. The best was the Rose to the Occasion (Hibiscus and pomegranate shrub, cinnamon, club soda). I'll definitely be back. Everything was great. read more

Ammoora is an incredibly beautiful restaurant with a vast menu of delicious food and cocktails, that has some service issues to work out. Overall, our experience was great and I would return but for a premier dining experience, the pitfalls of service were definitely noticed. As many have mentioned, the ambiance is stunning. If you're lucky on a nice night, sitting on the patio is very serene and ornately designed. Food wise - you have sort of 2 directions you can go. You can split several mezzes, like tapas, or you can get their mains as entrees (and maybe a mezze as an app). We opted to split several mezzes between the 3 of us. We got the Sultana salad, awarma hummus, baba ghanouj carpaccio, Kebbet Karaz, haloumi cigars, and from the sides menu we got the jeweled rice and veggie skewers. Must gets: awarma hummus, kebbet karaz, haloumi cigars, and jeweled rice. The awarma hummus is brilliant with beef short rib in the center of the hummus bowl - you've never had anything like it. The kebbet karaz was my personal favorite dish - it's meatballs in a tangy cherry sauce, I was literally scooping pita into the sauce and wouldn't let the waiter take it til it was clean lol! Haloumi cigars speak for themselves - grilled haloumi in phyllo dough, you just need it. And the jeweled rice was actually great too with all the flavors in it - raisins, pomegranate, rose petals, etc., a really unique take on what could've been a plain side dish. None of the food was bad but if I had to nitpick something, we ate but did not love the baba ganoush. For all the flavors it includes, they were not all coming through, but we still liked it and ate it! For drinks, I got the Waves of Latakia which is a gorgeous blue color with light citrusy flavors, very refreshing. For dessert we got this INSANE cotton candy with cream bowl, hard to describe but yes you need it. So... now for the service. It was a bit of a mess as others have noted. I will say our waitress was very nice personally, but we had several mixups with our order (brought a drink AND an entree we didn't order). When the check came, that incorrect entree had not been taken off the bill, we had to ask. We also ran out of water several times, it was a warm summer night so I am a bit understanding but there is a food runner walking around with just a pitcher of water so I wasn't sure why we didn't have it so often. Who should be in charge of checking if we have water? Our waitress, the food runner with the water? That should be sorted. Before we ordered our entrees, my friend had wanted to ask questions about the wine list because it actually only lists the origin of the wines, not the actual type of grape or wine they are? (It doesn't list Chardonnay or cab sav... Very strange, I would recommend updating this). So our waitress said she would call over the sommelier. Eventually our food comes, we eat it all, are finished and thinking of dessert, when the sommelier shows up... it's been like 15-20 min since we asked, so at this point my friend does not want any more wine as he'd wanted it with his meal. She apologizes and said she came over as soon as she was told, she was actually awesome and very knowledgeable. We asked her a few questions anyway even though no one ordered wine. But what happened, why didn't she know to come over til almost 20 min after we asked? At this point of the meal... what happened to our waitress? Doesn't she want to know if we want dessert or the check? She disappears forever. From the moment we think about dessert around 8:30 (about 1.5 hrs after we started dining), it took her so long to come back and for it to come, it is about 9. That's ridiculous. We are sitting with no food or drinks for a very long time... Then we ask for the check... and again, where did she go? This should be the speediest part of the service! After we put our cards in, she comes back several times to serve other tables and doesn't take our check! Why not? It takes another 20+ minutes of this charade. Now it's almost 9:30... remember we wanted dessert around 8:30... that's just unacceptable. Despite the obvious shortcomings with service that I do think can be worked out, Amoora is an incredible addition to Baltimore dining. The manager Colin came to check on our table and was very kind, and explained a lot of the restaurants history. It's a unique cuisine with some foods you've never had and some you've had but with a twist! I'll definitely be back to try the mains. read more

I really had a wonderful dinner here. I've seen many different photos and videos on social media, so I was very much eager to experience this restaurant myself. I went on a weeknight with one of my girlfriends. A reservation is a must and we were seated quickly. We both ordered mocktails and we started with the octopuses our appetizer. Not photoed but my friend enjoyed the octopus very much. As for my entrée, I ordered the filet mignon with a side of asparagus and potatoes. My friend opted for the two lobster tails and rice. Overall, we both enjoyed our meals and the service was great. Only thing we didn't appreciate was the fact that we couldn't take photos with flash as we were leaving the restaurant at closing. One of the hostess stopped us from taking photos with our flash on, but we were able to get approval from another manager. I would dine here again and I think this restaurant is also perfect for birthdays, anniversaries or any special occasion. read more

I've now dined at Ammoora twice and will continue to patron this local restaurant! This place truly lives up to its name (Ammoora is Arabic for beautiful & captivating) The decor, the ambiance and service is top tier!! I would consider this fine dining but you most certainly can walk in or make a last minute reservation most nights. The food is also amazing, I usually get a mix of appetizers to share with a friend but you can't go wrong with any choice to be honest. My absolute favorite part though is their Laymouniyé dessert, I think about it DAILY! This is the perfect place to celebrate any occasions, have a girls night out or even a romantic date. read more

My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day. Upon arrival *some* women were given roses, not everyone - terrible way to make a guest feel on Valentine's Day???! We waited about 15 mins for our table to be ready. Most tables were very closely seated together. They were very busy given the holiday, as a result the service was extremely slow. From being seated to having our check delivered took a total of about 3 hours - with plenty of waiting in between courses. The tables were also seated so closely together. The dips served on the silver platter were delicious. The entrees were just okay. I think maiwand kabob has much better seasoned meat for just a fraction of the price - if you're about the food and don't care much for the atmosphere. They were sold out of most desserts - but did have their version of the Dubai chocolate bar. It was awful - do not recommend, the texture/flavor were terrible. Overall, I think this place is overhyped - I wouldn't return. read more

We sat at the bar and we were very well taken care of, yousef aiman made sure of that. He created specialty drinks based off the mood we were going for and let me tell you he did not miss. The dessert was also very different like nothing I have ever tried before. It had Arabic cotton candy which at first I was not sure how I was going to feel about it but once I tried it I was sold! read more

This would've been a 5-star had we not received such a non-customer focused experience. When you walk into this restaurant, you are stunned by the details in the decor. The manager explained that the floors, walls, all of the pieces were handmade and imported from Syria. It was stunning. Simple yet profound. Initially, the manager took his time with us, showing us around and offering a great customer experience. Upon seating, we were greeted by a few different servers. Our "primary" server was kind and pleasant; however, she seemed very confused when I asked her to explain certain drinks and that I like picturesque drinks. I wanted a regular cocktail with flowers on it. She gave me a difficult time, attempting to sway me to stick with a drink on the menu, which was fine but alls I asked for was to put some flowers on top. For some reason, that seemed too complicated and upsetting. I believe when in customer service, the answer should be, "yes, we can do that for you." Instead, we spent a few minutes going back and forth about how to order a cocktail that's pretty... wtf? Not wanting to continue the unnecessary dialogue, I ordered the Rose mocktail and added a shot of tequila all just to get some flowers on my drink. Well, they showed me... it took about 30 minutes to get my drink, which came out 15 minutes after my friend's wine. WTF??? This is where it gets even more interesting. Another server came to greet us and introduced himself as our server. So now, we have two servers but apparently, the "primary" server seemed to take issue with the other guy serving us. I suppose he "stole" her table? Idk... nonetheless, we waited for about 45 minutes for our food before I inquired about where it was... now, I had seen it go out to another table, but I thought surely, that hadn't happened. That couldn't have been what was happening, right? WRONG! The manager came over and explained that that did, in fact, happen and apologized. He sent us out some nasty cocktails without asking if we wanted them or any type of specific cocktails. I watched the other table eat our food, then complain about being charged for it. The manager took the whole meal off of their tab; however, we had to ask him to accommodate us, and he seemed reluctant to do so beyond his verbal apologies. He took of a measly 15%!!! WTF? We waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our food after watching someone else eat our food and have it completely removed from their tab, and he only took of $22? Unacceptable. After this, his attitude shifted to treat us as though we had caused problems. I'm assuming he was disturbed by the night in general and maybe overwhelmed by the volume, but we were not properly accommodated for their mishap. While I would love to return to this restaurant, I can't say I will... not to receive sub-par service for an average meal price of $100-200 per person (a la carte entree and drink- no desserts or appetizers) The valet, ambiance, and food were wonderful though. What you need to know: The restaurant is located in the Ritz Carlton residences. The entrance is off of key highway going towards Light Street (it should be on your right if you're heading towards downtown). Parking- valet is free, bring cash to tip They check your coats for free before you are seated. read more

This beautiful restaurant is one of Top eating experiences in Baltimore city. Truly amazing food. Perfect place for a special evening out.

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food - service was mediocre at best. We came for a friends birthday and our reservation was set for 8:30pm. They did not have our table ready so we got drinks at the bar. As we were then informed it was ready (around 8:50pm), we asked if we could take our drinks with us. We were informed to close out at the bar first, so we decided to finish the drinks there. Our table and ambiance was lovely. The pricing is on the higher end, which was expected and was fair given the ambiance and quality of experience. The service should (but didn't) match the price point. The reasoning is the following: - the server did not have a deep understanding of the menu, as I asked questions on preparation of meats along with if they had any mocktails that had floral elements. He did not know what I meant so I asked if their was rose water or syrup in the drinks (a common ingredient in many middle eastern beverages and dishes) and he pointed at a drink that had the word "rose" in it. In reading the description - there was no floral not rose essence in the drink, just title. I settled for a different drink. We tried ordering appetizers and he advised us to only order the full order (apps and entrees at once) so we started with just drinks. They come back and ask us for the order and we were not prepared as we were still waiting for the drinks - so we quickly decided on some items. While finishing our dinner - they kept trying to get us to confirm our desert. They then brought the desert when we had a table full of dirty dishes from our dinner on the table. Because we wanted to take videos and pics - I asked them to clear the table. They were kind and accommodating but also seemed rushed. The cleaning staff were at full force around 10:50 (it's a Saturday night) and they put the lights all the way up as if it's closing time at a bar. Food quality: The apps were delicious. He recommended the lamb shank which was not as tender as I hoped. Deserts were amazing. As one who works in hospitality - I think there could have been a more elegant way to speed up our process, assisting us in our orders... read more

The decor was gorgeous. The service was wonderful. We loved how intentional everything felt. This upscale venue has upscale pricing to go with it, so make sure to plan ahead. I think the price tag has to do with the ambiance more than the food but it was all wonderful. We ordered: Muhamara--a lovely blend of subtle flavors Hurrak Isba'o--This was so different than anything I had before and I was obsessed. I also loved the sourness of the tamarind Mousakhan Chicken Rolls--Yes yes yes yes yes!! Our favorite Braised Lamb Shank--Fall off the bone tender lamb. Take a bite with everything on it and you get a beautiful burst of flavor Dubai Chocolate Crunch Bar--I definitely made this name up because it's not on the online menu, but oh my God. Get it. Chocolatey, nutty, creamy, crunchy. Sold. They gave us a lovely apple cider/dessert wine complimentary at the end. I couldn't find it on the menu after so it might be only if they come over with it.

An absolutely beautiful restaurant with delicious food. I would peek at the menu before going just to fully understand the price points though! There was little pita crisps with an olive tapenade on the table and the service was prompt. Their hummus was absolutely amazing with its creamy texture. I could have eaten just their hummus with the warm pita that they serve with it. We also enjoyed the smashed batata harra, which included 6 potatoes and was delicious. My friends enjoyed the kebbet karaz meatballs but they were a bit sweet for my taste. For my main, I got the lamb chops and they were phenomenal. My main was the only one that came with any carb on it so my friends who got the skewers ended up ordering another side to round out their meal. I would highly recommend for a beautiful meal! read more

I don't know where to begin as everything was so exceptional. My husband and I dined here last night(12/8/24) for my birthday. It truly was an "experience". First and foremost, the atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous. Starting from the front door, everything is beautifully decorated and lush without feeling pretentious. You feel like you are in your wealthy Mediterranean family member's home lol; I mean that in the best way possible. The color scheme, textures, architectural design, and accent pieces create such a beautiful vibe. We were seated right next to a beautiful fountain not far from the wine cellar. Everyone that interacted with us was so pleasant and attentive. Our waitress GiGi was the most adorable, attentive, competent, accommodating waitress I have ever encountered with the most magnetic personality and infectious smile and laugh. My husband and I dine a LOT so that says plenty. This was our first time dining here so we had questions and we had a hard time making decisions. GiGi told us that her family is from Greece so she answered our questions and helped us to confirm our cocktail, mezze, entree and dessert choices. I truly enjoyed my tiki cocktail. My husband did not enjoy his old fashioned because he did not know it was so "date" forward. Even though it was called Old fashioned "date" I don't think he realized just how much. No problem at all, GiGi quickly took that away and quickly brought the beer, which he loved. Hot Mezze we selected was the Mousakhan chicken rolls, Beyti Sujuk rolls, and Knafeh Shrimp. Oh my goodness, all of them were delicious but I must say that we truly enjoyed the Beyti Sujuk rolls; they were phenomenal. For our main course, I had the braised lamb shank and my hubby ordered the Bronzino. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The lamb shank was super tender and full of flavor. I loved the added texture that the pomegranate added to the dish. The bronzino came with the head off but we would have been okay with the entire fish being on the plate. GiGi mentioned that some patrons don't like it so they just don't serve the head. The fish was so flaky, and flavorful but the skin remained crispy even though there was a sauce on the fish; Amazing! Since it was my birthday, GiGi asked if I wanted a dessert surprise or a cocktail surprise. My husband secretly told her the latter lol but my choice was the cocktail anyway. She brought out a glass of a complimentary apple cider wine that I truly enjoyed. I asked her to give me the information so I could buy a bottle and she wrote it down for me. Lastly, we ordered dessert. GiGi recommended the Levantine layers and I ordered the Dubai Chocolate crunch bar because chocolate is my absolute favorite. Both were really good but the Levantine dessert was better. It was flaky and light which is the perfect end to such a decadent meal. During our dining, several people checked on us other than GiGi which was nice. They didn't come too much but just the right amount of times. We were leaving and decided to have one last cocktail at the bar. The bartender was delightful as well. Once he heard it was my birthday, he gave us a complimentary house shot which was fantastic. We will definitely be back for another dining experience at Ammoora. Thank you for making my birthday dinner so enjoyable. read more

I was excited to try this spot after seeing the cool pictures of the place, but the real thing was even better. It seems like they went all in to create an experience with a unique architecture/atmosphere and an interesting menu with Middle Eastern flavors. Their cocktails are also elevated by regional liquors & spices. I've tried Old Fashioned Date and Beqaa of the Highlands, and both drinks were delicious. We liked all the appetizers, entrees and desserts we ordered, but Shish Tawouk was full of flavor and is a must-try! We went on a busy night, so the service was a little slow, but we did not mind spending more time in this serene atmosphere.

Ammoora - Mediterranean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

First of all, saw this beautiful outdoor ambiance on Instagram and thought to myself "no way this place is in Baltimore" and sure enough, it was! It looked absolutely stunning, so had to make an appearance. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great so we didn't want to sit outside in the rain- but the indoor ambiance was just as amazing. Very picturesque. We were greeted immediately by the friendliest hostess. Iman (the GM) greeted us immediately and gave us such a great, friendly, welcoming vibe from the start. Our waitress, Diana, greeted us immediately after Iman, and the two of them took care of us the entire night and made us feel like true valued guests. The food and drinks came out quicker than I could have ever imagined, especially because the quality was so top-notch... When the night ended, Iman treated us with coffee and a sweet treat on the house and we had a wonderful conversation with him- such a genuine person. All in all, 11/10 experience and will 100% be returning as soon as we can! read more
