"Al-Ameer looks and functions like a diner. But instead of a hodgepodge mix of American breakfast items, deli sandwiches, and the inexplicable presence of Italian-American specials (why do all diners have spaghetti and meatballs in a terribly sweet red sauce?), Al-Ameer serves top-notch Middle Eastern classics. When you walk into the homey restaurant, you don’t smell bacon and eggs. It’s cumin and cardamom and olive oil and toasted flatbreads. And it’s enough to make your mouth water." - ByAlex Delany
