The space itself was beautiful and created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It felt like the perfect setting for the event. What stood out most was the service. We were about 60 people and everything ran so smoothly. All the food came out at the same time, everyone got their meals without any delays, and every single dish was delicious. There were zero issues the entire night, which is rare for a group that size. I would definitely recommend Ammoora for events or even just a dinner. They really did everything right.

Wow! You must get the neighborhood chicken no matter what, everything else is still good but that…read morechicken is bomb! Neighborhood chicken bowl mild: delicious the chicken breading is crispy and has the perfect curry taste without being overpowering. The pickled veggies with it is a great palate cleanser and balances all the flavors. I got it mild and while I was nervous of the spice level being too much for me (I'm a weenie) it was perfect, the kind of spice that actually adds to the dish instead of hurting you. Tempura broccoli: So good! Crunchy without being oily, it had a bunch of herbs on it the brightened the whole dish. Ancho chile pork bun: perfectly smokey and meaty without being fatty. This one we really struggled to eat as an actually sandwich because the pork is cubed so it just falls out the sides. The buns are a fun addition and have good texture so I'm happy we tried it, but if I went back I would be fine without it. Crab Rangoon: I was a bit skeptical about 1 crab Rangoon being $10 but that is because o was thinking of my midwestern type of crab rangoons. This was PACKED with actual crab and not a whole lot of cream cheese so the price made more sense when I figured that out. Still very good, but did not stand out amongst the rest. The place was so cool inside, they had about 7-10 bar seats inside with 2 tables outside, I recommend taking this to go. The service was nice and quick, you can tell they have a very efficient process. My only suggestion would be to turn the music down a little bit because it was hard for me and my husband to just talk to each other about plans that we had for the rest of the day. So happy this was featured on the yelp top 100 places so that we could try it!

I ordered two main dishes and was originally told it would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up taking double that, so just keep that in mind if you're in a rush like we were. The space itself is pretty small too, so it's more of a grab and go place. The Neighborhood Bird bowl was a HUGE portion. It was kind of spicy but the pickled onions helped even it out. I also tried the ancho chile pork bun. The bun itself tasted amazing,but it was a bit difficult to eat. The bottom got pretty soggy while the top bun was thick and tall, so it kind of fell apart while eating.

The restaurant is on the smaller side but not so much that you're breathing down the next tables neck. The appetizer sampler cost $20 and was a fantastic sharing option for friends - came with fresh oven baked bread that was refilled free of charge. I especially loved their hummus. I ordered the Koobideh Kebab (ground beef), which was tender, juicy, and large. The rice also was light and flavorful. I only wish the dish came with a few veggies on the side and some tzatziki sauce but you can ask (and probably pay) for it. My friends enjoyed their salmon and lamb kebab. I tried my husbands Fessenjan, a sweet and sour chicken stew. It was sweet and delicious and came in a large portion and with rice. All in all, a fantastic place! Only tricky part can be parking, but there's metered street parking up front and free neighborhood parking nearby.
