This place absolutely blew me away. From the moment the food hit the table, you could tell everything was made with care, intention, and serious culinary skill. We started with a spread of dips and they were exceptional. The hummus was silky smooth with rich olive oil and perfectly balanced seasoning, and the labneh was fresh, creamy, and bright with herbs and tomatoes. Even the baba ghanoush had that deep, smoky flavor that’s hard to get right. Every bite felt authentic and thoughtfully prepared. The mains took things to another level. The grilled chicken was incredibly juicy with a beautiful char and bold, aromatic spices. The beef was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, paired with roasted vegetables that added just the right amount of sweetness and texture. The fish dish was also standout, delicate and flaky with a rich, creamy topping that complemented it perfectly without overpowering it. The sides weren’t an afterthought either. The rice was fragrant and elevated with nuts and herbs, and even the simple accompaniments like pickles, onions, and radishes added freshness and balance to the meal. On top of all that, the presentation was clean and inviting, and everything felt generous without being overwhelming. You can tell this kitchen knows exactly what it’s doing. If you’re looking for incredibly flavorful, well-executed Middle Eastern food with a modern touch, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Amar is a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish we ordered was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the service did not reflect the quality of the restaurant. Our waitress was not very friendly, interrupted us while we were talking, and made us feel rushed throughout the meal. It was disappointing because the food and ambiance were truly exceptional. I would definitely return for the food, but I hope the service improves, as it would make the overall experience much more enjoyable.

I visited Amar for a special occasion with some girlfriends, and it was fantastic! The restaurant was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the service was great. We shared a bunch of dishes, and everything was so good. I especially loved the hummus and the fresh-made pita. The drinks were fantastic too — they use fresh-squeezed juice in the cocktails, which was a great touch. There was even a belly dancer, which was so fun to watch. Highly recommend if you’re in the Del Ray area!

Food was excellent. Parking lot attendant recommended the Hummus so I gave it a shot and it did not disappoint. Would actually love to have a chicken shawerma wrap with the chicken they put on the hummus. Was very good. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Their homemade Harrisa is spicy but super good. Highly recommend and will be back!
