This place has the best Lebanese food outside of Lebanon. Mary was such a pleasure to have as our server who was very sweet and attentive. We got the family platter 1 and it was enough food to feed at least 10 people!! It includes everything you could ever want and more. I am so full.

Fantastic food, some of the best Middle Eastern cuisine I've ever had. Large portions. The hummus was very silky smooth, the roasted potatoes divine, and all the meats succulent. Some of the platters come with your choice of sides, don't just go with the default of rice or fries, choose from the larger selection of interesting sides.

Before I moved away from Detroit, I had been visiting this restaurant with my family on a regular basis. Since I had to be back home, I decided to take my husband on a tour of all the restaurants that I miss. This place is still top notch. My husband had the lamb sauté with grilled vegetables and rice. I had the sujuk with fattoush salad, rice and vegetables. I had forgotten how much food this restaurant serves as an entree. Everything was amazing and spot on with flavor. I only wish that I had a larger stomach.

This was my first stop in Dearborn, and it was a great one. Our server Juju was so kind and her service was very fast. She recommended some great dishes. The Hummus with meat was great, and the portions were very good, we had so much leftover. The shawarma was very well seasoned and the fattoush was very fresh. It is a very family friendly establishment.

This is turning into a wonderful vacation-food wise. Our first visit to Al-Ameer was a huge success. We had no idea how large the portions are and everyone ordered something different. Lots-O-leftovers. They have a Beirut hummus that is spicier than anything. Jalapeños, you know. Their Sambouski is so well toasted it's burnt. The Moujadara was this side of perfect. The lentils and rice not overcooked, and it was served with Laban. These folks also have the very best chicken Ghallaba I've ever tasted. The chicken livers and rice were great, as well. I tried a piece of lamb chop and was very disappointed. Too cold and dry, decent flavour but not a good representation. The servers here are incredibly talented and attentive to their customers. It's a huge turn-on when a drink refill hits my table before I get the chance to request it. It's a fairly big dining room here but not the greatest use of space so seating is a bit limited. When we choose to eat there's hardly ever anyone else, so, I can't say what rush is like. 08/24

Visiting MI must include a visit to Dearborn for Middle Eastern food. Having a brother in law born and raised in Beirut and growing up in Glendale, CA where Middle Eastern food is a major part of the culture, my expectations for Al-Ameer were high. Al-Ameer did not disappoint!! I wanted the mezze experience, but we were dining later in the evening and ordered just the kibbeh and falafel. Both were delicious, seasoned well, and definitely not dry. I ordered the shish kafta with rice and fatoush--the kafta was well seasoned juicy and the fatoush was fresh and well dressed. I felt like I was Sunday dinner at my sister and BIL's house. We waited a few minutes to be seated initially and the woman in the hijab seemed a bit distant, but we were seated and our server, Mo was very nice and accommodating considering how late we arrived at the restaurant. The ambiance is definitely family friendly and of course, we enjoyed our meal family style. Al-Ameer is definitely deserving of its James Beard recognition and has definitely become my go-to favorite when visiting my daughter in Michigan.

Came here with a group of 4. We got this sa pler to try everything and it was very good. We also ordered a rice dish, kafta, and lamb and those were delicious as well. This was our second time here. And our first time was takeout from an event and we knew we had to come try it out. The service was good. The waitress was very knowledgable when we wanted to try something new.

Phenomenal. Delicious. Tasty! We enjoyed this meal thoroughly. The service was fast and the vibes were great. Everyone was enjoying and I cannot recommend Al-Ameer enough. This place has been around for many years and is always a reliable and delicious choice. I can't wait to go back!
