Review Amani's Byob - Downingtown

Took my parents here to celebrate a late Father’s Day. We dined upstairs. Food is good but portions are so small even when they’re labeled “Entrees”. The entrees are priced around $14-$19 and are more like appetizer portions. We were still hungry afterward so we got dessert. We got a cookie skillet (not pictured) for dessert and it was very undercooked and mushy. We also got a brownie skillet which contained a very dry brownie. Our party of 4 was still hungry after our dining experience….

We went to Amani’s for the first time tonight and loved it! My wife and I both tried the pork special they had and we both agreed that it was so good! The service was EXCELLENT. We were very impressed. Our server Chris was one of the best servers we’ve ever had. This is a great local spot right in the heart of the borough of Downingtown. Not too pricey either, I would say the prices are fair for the quality of food you are getting. We will definitely be back and we can’t wait to try more of their dishes! We highly recommend.

Great food in Downingtown. Went here with my wife, son and d11yo granddaughter. (Menu is not particularly kid friendly) We tried three appetizers The Braised Pork Belly, Crispy Point Judith calamari, and the Cheese Plate. The pork belly is great and a fairly large portion, it was the winner of the three. The calamari were good but what made the plate was the pickled pepper medley that was included on the plate they were delicious. The cheese plate was good with three nice cheeses, the fennel infused goat cheese being the best of them all. The bacon jelly included on the cheese plate was also a winner. The waitress however when serving the cheese plate did not tell us what the cheeses were and for the matter did not know and had to ask other personnel what they were, after we made the point of asking. I ordered the Seared Duck Breast which was cooked to the correct temperature and the blood orange sauce was a perfect pairing. My son ordered the Bouillabaisse which he enjoyed but thought the sauces was a little to thick. My wife got the Scampi Style Gulf Shrimp she liked it also. My granddaughter got the Smoked Chicken Risotto she thought it was a little light on chicken and heavy on the risotto, but she enjoyed it. For dessert we got the Jewish Apple Cake and the Chocolate Ganache Tart to share and both were very good. The restaurant is small and there is no noise level to interfere with conversation. Service was very good. I look forward to dinning here again.

Amani’s never disappoints, incredible every time! This was our first time back since the renovations, the food was just as good as it’s always been. The updated look feels more modern without losing the classic intimate feel of Amani’s

Phenomenal food. The portions are a perfect size. Not too full, not still hungry, just content! It was the best steak I have ever had at a restaurant, and they are not outrageously priced. You can tell that they take great pride in what they offer to their customers. Also, the cocktails are incredible. The service was great. All around an awesome experience! I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially for those that enjoy a quiet atmosphere. My first visit was last night, and I plan making it my date night place to go.

Amani's has an amazing menu. Always top quality and prepared really well. My pork belly app was so good I could order several for my entire meal. Only reason I didn't rate 5 is because my fish had bones, which isn't a huge deal, but the chocolate cake dessert was just bad. It looked and tasted old. Everything else was great.

Amani's has been our favorite spot for special occasions and never disappoints. I have many dietary restrictions and not only are they always accommodated, but the chef will create a special dinner that doesn't make me feel like I'm settling or an inconvenience. Jon and Health are geniuses in the kitchen, and Jeannine is absolutely lovely. You can tell that customer service and relationships is their highest priority. Thank you for being such an upstanding, high class, phenomenal establishment. We will continue to support them and know that throughout the pandemic, flood and whatever else may come, they will make it through and only get better (if that's even possible!). Thank you!

I used to LOVE this place. Always had good meals here - but this experience was just awful. While I always expect a lower quality dish when I through Door Dash due to travel and handling... I was supremely disappointed tonight. This order legitimately took Amani's BYOB off my "go-to" restaurant list. I ordered fries with my chicken sandwich, which they decided to not provide because "it was a mistake that they are included with online order"... what?? The chicken sandwich was supposed to come with Nashville hot sauce and Gorgonzola cream - both were non-existent... Lastly, the $8.00 pretzel they gave me was somehow a worse clone of the $0.10 Frozen Super Pretzel coupled with watery mustard (how??). You lost a 8+ year customer tonight. Well done.
