This is the best Shawarma place in St. Catharines. If you are looking for an authentic Shawarma that tastes like the ones in the Middle East, this is the place to go. Today we tried Jordanian Mansaf, it was really delicious. We became repeat customers. Very affordable as well!

Super friendly owner and very cozy restaurant. It’s our first time to try the Shawarma, the owner explained the menu for us very patiently and the food we tried is really good. Definitely will come again.

AMIR Middle East Grill is amazing! The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, the fries are perfectly crispy, and their garlic sauce is out of this world. Great food, quick service, and excellent quality every time!

Tried Amir today. The food was excellent, fresh, and abundant. I tried the chicken shwarma wrap on saj bread. All the sauces and toppings were so tasty and fresh! Amir was very generous and offered to let us try the falafel and koba while we were waiting for our order. This shop serves quality food, such delicious mingling of spices (not from Costco), and super friendly service! My sandwich included a beverage. I'm excited to try the dessert shop that is opening in the same restaurant to compliment this lovely restaurant. It's a should if not a must try!

Found this hidden gem in St. Catharines with cozy atmosphere and friendly staff! Place is well kept, clean and welcoming. Order a chicken wrap and it was outstanding! Had to take chicken shawarma platter for the family! If you looking for fresh ingredients and delicious shawarma look no further. Definitely will be back for more!

Had such a great experience at this spot! The food tasted authentic and healthy, and the service was amazing. We ordered two mixed platters—the kebabs were cooked perfectly, and the sauces were fantastic. The owner was so kind and even gave us Lebanese breakfast balls to try for free! My favorite sauce was the pomegranate molasses—it was so good that I took some home to drizzle on my salads. Also, bonus points for a clean and cute washroom! Definitely coming back.

I like it here very much. The food is delicious. My husband said it was the most delicious shawama he had ever eaten, and the portion was also very large. Because of this delicious food, we all like this town.
