Food was fresh, esp the pita breads, and tasted really good. The lamb burger had juicy patties. My daughter loved her chicken schnitzel. The gyro platter was juicy and soft.
When I ate the lamb shawarma, it was so tasty because of the tender meat and fresh vegetables. With the first two sauces on it, their flavors were impactful that made it taste better. For the fries, they were superbly soft, mushy enough to bite them. Also, the spices of those fries were great, including the ketchup. Would recommend it to go there because they were that good.

I lived in the Middle East for 21 years and the meal we had at Amena was as good or better than anything I ever had in the ME.
We went out for a family lunch and the meal and service we had was great. The food is prepared fresh and well seasoned. Good portions and plenty of sides. I definitely recommend the bread and hummus with beans. Best I have had.
We also took some bread to go.
The service was great and the place seems to be run by an Arabic couple. My wife is Egyptian so it also gave her a chance to speak Arabic.
If you want some authentic food that is prepared in a traditional way this is the place to go.
Love this place not for its very simple decor or style. The food is tasty and large portions are served very fresh. The pita is so soft and pillowy.
Best place to have healthy, vegan, delicious food and support a small business owner! We’ve been coming here for years, the food is perfect every time!
I haven't had delicious home cooking like this before. I can't imagine more flavor, fresher vegetables, or better bread than what I had today. The shawarma was perfect and the baklava had just the right amount of honey, nuts, and crispy texture. I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. I would eat this every day!!
The woman that took care of me was lovely and very welcoming.
I'll be back!
I accidentally ran into this place, and my husband never had a Mediterranean dish before. We both love the service, and the food is tasty. I would definitely come back to this place. I also bought a bag of dry chickpeas so I can make the falafel at home. Best I ever done because it tasted soooo good.
The bread and everything made with bread there is 10/10!
Labaneh and tea were great!
Hummus was 6/10
Falafel were 7/10
They have friendly service.
Absolutely incredible food! Super fresh, Divine pita and the creamiest hummus! The best falafels I've ever had and the owner gave us fresh mint lemonades on the house. Such lovely, kind service too. High-quality, fresh food, would highly recommend!
This place is definitely underrated. If your looking for a great place to eat something different, I recommend this spot. The service is great, the food is delicious, and the place is clean. My favorite part of this experience is enjoying the mint drink they offer on a hot day. Not only that, they offer healthy food options, so if your looking to eat something good and still maintain your diet, look no further. This is my 2nd time here, and I can't wait to try even more menu items the next time I come!
My son and I came late, 30 minutes before closing on New years day. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. We ordered a custom plate not even on the menu. It was amazing and included Falafel, Hummus, Kibbeh,Grilled Chicke,Rice and a salad. Hummus was authentic and delicious. The kibbeh was better than back home. The service staff was excellent and the owner came and checked on us twice. We highly recommend this place, and will definitely come back.
We were so impressed with this restaurant. If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean, specifically the Levant, this is as good as it gets. They were short staffed yet we were well cared for and everything was excellent. We noticed several people come in just to buy the fresh baked pita bread, obviously very popular locally. The homemade mint lemonade was a huge hit with my whole family. The knafeh was the best my husband has had outside of Lebanon. The kibbeh was well seasoned and had the perfect crunchy exterior. Everything else also really fantastic (hummus, baba ghanoush, Manakesh Zatar , Lula chicken kabob, shawarma). I wish we could have a restaurant like this in Austin. We'd be regulars for sure!
GREAT GREAT SERVICE and amazing flavors. Amir was extremely professional and kind. The food was spectacular. I went back the next day instead of trying a new spot and got extra for my family. Highly recommend . 5 stars
Wonderful delicious and I wish I would remember to take pictures before I eat.
You will not be disappointed by this place. Everything I have tried has been amazing.
Love this little hole in the wall! Traditional middle eastern salads, falafel, fresh pita, meats, and desserts. You can buy pita, hummus, and desserts to go. Everything is delicious.
