What customers say?

“ I discovered Amir's after finishing my workout during a rainy Tuesday. The first bite of their falafel sandwich brought me to my happy place because it was hot from the fryer and had the perfect balance of tahini. The Santa Monica location had a similar atmosphere but their hummus tasted richer and the cashier remembered my name after our first meeting which made me completely satisfied. I needed to wait for some time to receive my pickles but I did not mind because I support the preservation arts and watching the chef pickle my pickles was an entertaining experience. ”

“ You know when someone says, everything is so good? At Amir's, everything is soooo good. In addition to the Shawarma and Falafel, indulge in the the coleslaw; the potato salad: the humus; the tabouli, really all the sides. You'll love every bite. If you're a vegetarian, and you don't have to be, you will love the meat-free options available. Pair them all with rice or one of the soft Pitas. You won't be disappointed. It's been a while since I have visited. I miss seeing Mr. Amir's welcoming smile. The original staff is happily still there. I was happy to see them. It's a relaxing environment to eat in or take out. You'll be satisfied for lunch and dinner. I took it to go, and I have yummy leftovers. I'll visit again soon. ”

“ BEST FALAFELS I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! Crunchy on the outside and soft and so full of flavor in the inside. They had a bunch of fresh and delicious side salads and the chubby pitas we got a big welcome when walking in and the service was amazing the 2 gentleman working took order and made our plates, explained the salads and sauce ( as it was my first time here) what a fantastic experience and the food was outstanding!!! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE, I JUST MIGHT BE THERE WEEKLY I’d give them more stars if I could ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”

“ The chicken shawarma are a little different (taste and pita bread type wise) from the shawarma I used to have in other cities and states before but it's all great regardless. It's not my first time here and I would certainly come again in the future God willing. ”

“ Great falafel. I wish I lived closer I’d come here all the time. The plate comes with 5 sides, pita, and a choice of protein. The traditional one listed on the menu is a good pick if you don’t feel like choosing your sides. It comes with rice, carrots, hummus, salad, and a coleslaw type side. We ate in and ended up buying another warm pita to finish up the hummus. So so good! Seating - small, couple tables inside with one two-seater outside Parking- small lot ”

“ I love this place! The toppings are all yummy, the chicken shawarma, and pita are all delicious. However, there's one place that needs improvement- sauces. I am dying for a tzatziki or any yogurt based sauce, maybe a romesco, or frankly a better tahini (this tahini always tastes bitter imo), maybe something with a lemon profile too. I'd come here multiple times a week if there were better sauce options! ”

“ Best falafel in LA! I've been coming to Amir's for the past 8 years and every time I'm welcomed with a warm smile and friendly service. The food is the fresh and the portions are huge! Always a favorite when I'm craving Middle Eastern! ”
