I was downtown and headed to the Food Trucks when I say their sign and decided to go here inside. Great idea on my part because the food was delicious, I don’t like raw tomatoes but the way they had it on my Gyro I ate them. The seasoned fries was great, and my Gyro was loaded with meat. I spent just over 17 including tip for a drink, sandwich and fries. I definitely will be going back and exploring other restaurants around the area. Even thou I thought I was hungry I only managed to eat less than half my sandwich even with me eating the meat only off of it my sandwich still has a lot of meat left.

I absolutely love this cafe! Gyro’s are so good. Fresh (still warm) hummus; and the falafel bites... why are you still reading this! It’s so good, and the two gentlemen are the best! Go! Yummy doesn’t describe how happy your mouth will be!

This is 5 STARS! My friends and I love the food at Al-Amir Cafe. We had the best, creamiest hummus I have ever tasted with warm grilled pita bread and falafels. The owners Moe and Rami gave us a taste of the gyro meat and now we all want to return because it was so tender and tasty! The servings are huge, the food is fresh and cooked right before your eyes. Street parking is right our front or the Kroger garage is just steps away. You definitely need to try Al-Amir Cafe!

Walked by and it smelled so good we did a 180 and went back in. Sorry about the lousy photo but we devoured our samosa and falafel. Samosas are very unique and some of the best I’ve had anywhere- India, Egypt , Europe, NAFTA. Falafael were also excellent with a nice bright finish. Seems he’s a new owner and the place was revamped. Menu is clearly marked for vegan and vegetarian also. Truly a must go!

Excellent experience. I travel frequently and globally and have experienced this style cuisine in many countries and this place stacks right up there with the best. We both got the gyro plates, one with rice and one with fries (the latter was at my request). We also ordered grape leaves, falafels, and hummus. The one with fries was served with the gyro meat and sauce on top of the fries, and I have to say, if you haven’t tried it this way before, I’d suggest it in lieu of doing it inside pita bread. There’s a place in Australia that serves it this way and I have become a fan of it...I’m glad I found somewhere locally that does the same. Think of it as a Mediterranean version of “chili cheese fries”! The humus had, if I remember correctly, a combination olive oil and lemon juice with spices on top. The individual serving us was friendly and accommodating, answered questions about the menu and even came out and socialized for a bit with us. Give this place a try!

I had the Shawarma plate and my fiancee had the Gyro plate. Really tasty. My portion was a little less than hers but I only wish it was larger because it was so good. The fries were really good, a pleasant surprise, I didn't come for good fries but I definitely got them. Great service, the guy was working really hard on a few orders and he still had the care to ask us questions and everything was perfect. Makes eating lunch in Cincinnati harder because now I have to think about this place every time I consider where to go.

Really good generous portioned Gyros & Schwarma - killer seasoned fries and service with a smile! by the young U of C college guy that cooked & served us. Reasonable prices.. 9.99 ea Fries 3.99 / drinks 2.79-3.99 We split a Gyro & Chicken schwarma between 4 of us and it was plenty Weekday lunch VERY BUSY try to beat the rush by going by 11am Like 5 tables inside & some Outdoor seating as well.. 4 stars for atmosphere due to the usual suspects (annoying homeles/beggar types) in the city.. not Halal food Inc.'s Fault.. would definitely eat there again! See picture for menu from november 2024
