Al-Ameer West

4.5. When talking about Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food in SE Michigan, the name Al-Ameer inevitably comes up. They're a staple in these parts and currently have three locations: Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and Canton, in order of founding. They're known for classic takes on Lebanese food and aside from slight tweaks on consistency of meat moisture (lol is that a term), much credit to them for showcasing some major deliciousness! My first experience was eating with a friend and her family. We arrived at 6pm with reservations and were seated at a booth. Seating easily fit over 100 at this location, and is comprised of booths, smaller and larger tables in different areas in the main dining room. This location is a little fancier in using white table cloths, and we saw several larger parties of 10 or more quite dressed for a special occasion. There's also a large private room in the back I believe bookable for private functions. Food-wise you can't go wrong with the fattoush (crispy fried pita mixed with a freshly dressed lettuce salad), tabouli (a tomato/cucumber/parsley salad), stuffed grape leaves with rice inside, sujuk (a spicy fermented sausage)--all terrific! The pita comes out warm and soft, and their white garlic sauce is so good they've bottled it and sell it at local chain supermarkets like Kroger and Meijer. Their hummus is creamy and heavenly. For meats on my first visit we shared an Al-Ameer Platter $34.99 consisting of a skewer of each: chicken shawarma, beef shawarma tawook kabob, and two kafta. We also got a Combo Platter $24.99 which was composed of a shish kabob, tawook, kafta, falafel & served with hummus, salad, and your choice of fries or rice. The meat was grilled perfectly on my first visit, and seasoned well. Subsequently for takeout chicken has occasionally been drier but nothing inedible. The portion sizes are generous as many have mentioned. I'll be back! PS there's parking directly in the lot around the the restaurant

Went to Al Ameer for the first time and it was so delicious! They give you fresh warm bread when you arrive and you can order dips if youd like. My friend and I shared a chicken combo platter and it was more than enough for two girls! My favorite was the sausage? Skewer and the chicken shwarma! They were so flavorful and delicious! Service was also very quick and nice. Would definitely recommend!

I haven't been to this location in years - at least 9 or 10. Let's not talk about that experience, but the one in 2023. Good service (Amira or Ameera was great), the food came out hot, fresh and that hot, fresh bread is amazing. I am so glad that Al-Ameer has turned this location around - I will be back!(I'm just seeing Marc M.'s review from three days again and I can't believe we went to the same place as that was my experience many years back. I hope management looks at these reviews and takes action at this location. I usually go to Al-Ameer in East Dearborn, but my appointment was closer to this location).

Despite the fact that this was the closest Al-Ameer to my husband's old apartment, I have never actually reviewed it! We used to stop by this Al-Ameer, and also Ab's in the same lot all the time when he used to live in Dearborn Heights. We came in on a Wednesday night and were seated right away. We split the Stuffed Lamb and an order of grape leaves. The stuffed lamb came with a side salad and also pita. It was as good as we remembered. Honestly, this was one of our best meals during our week in Michigan. Service was attentive and very friendly. I wish we had an Al-Ameer here in NJ.

Food was so delicious!! Service TopNotch!!real table cloths gave the place an at home vibe ! Always a must have when we travel to the Dearborn area!!Thanks for having us again!!

We were there for a private party yesterday and it was wonderful! My only gripe with the place is their tiny parking lot can be hard to maneuver but the food and service were fabulous. We were seated and served quickly. All of the food was delicious and plentiful. Would definitely visit again when I'm in the area

I used to love this place - but the last time I went, the chicken was so dry and flavorless. The pita and hummus are always delicious - but this location seems to have deteriorated.

We had a great experience. It was my first time to Al-Ameer. My partner found the location on Yelp. I asked our waitress for recommendations and they were all great! The food tasted great and the atmosphere is lively. Be prepared to bring your appetite, the portions are large!

Good service, however the food was very poor quality. It was overcooked and very dry. So much so that it was very difficult even getting the meat off the skewers. I will think twice about returning.

The chicken sharama was dry, and the white water they called garlic sauce, didn't help the sandwich at all. What happened to the garlic paste you used to have? As for the fotush..cucumbers were gone, tomatoes were gone, and it was crammed in this little black container. Totally different food since the last time I was here. My advice is go down to Al-Shala. Great customer service, and the food is really good!
