Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

In Lebanon, food is an essential part of all family and social gatherings, with bold flavors, colorful vegetables, and vibrant proteins fresh from the marketplace. Prepared simply and with passion, our cold and hot mezze, various grilled meats, kebabs, fresh seafood, and creative homemade desserts offer something for everyone, including an abundance of vegan and vegetarian dishes.
At Amar, small plates are meant to be shared, and we encourage you to soak up the aromatic spices and herbs of the Mediterranean and the Levantine coast with our handmade pita bread baked fresh in our wood-burning oven. Inspired by the creative souls who embrace old cultures and new experiences, our cozy space is the perfect mix between rustic and refined, the nostalgic and modern. The Kurban family and their attentive staff invite you to linger over a meal and experience their genuine hospitality.

The food was great. We love the new location, but the belly dancer lady is extremely inappropriate. I would never take my children here and we didn’t enjoy it while eating.

Just ok. Portions small and nothing special. We used to frequent them when they were on Atlantic Ave and food was much better. Something changed.

Fantastic night at Amarr from the way we were greeted, management stopped to say hello, service and food incredible. And didnt realize we were there for happy hour so many items were 50% off and as usual we overdid it, but we ate it all it was so good.

Excellent food and service. However the music was much too loud both times we’ve dined there. It seemed like everyone at our and other tables had to raise their voices to be heard or have a conversation.

This was our third visit and the first since they moved. It’s physically a very attractive space and huge. It was packed as it was a Friday nite and the noise level was such that would couldn’t have a conversation at normal level. The waiter, Justin, who was great, had a hard time even hearing us. We stuck with nezze and ordered 4. The hummus and moussaka were very good. The spinach pies were awful, bready heavy crust and flavorless spinach that also managed to be bitter. The felafels were overly fest. These are Lebanese standards that should be easy to pull off. The pita was excellent. Given the number of other restaurants, I doubt we’ll return any time soon
Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & BarResponded 3 days ago
Hello Valerie, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our hummus, moussaka, and pita. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the pies and falafel. We take pride in our cuisine and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short this time. We appreciate your honesty and will use your feedback to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best, Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar Management Team
