About Amir

Amir is a Montreal Lebanese food chain with quick-service counters. It serves shish taouk, shawarma, falafel and its well-known garlic sauce, the kind of meal many Montrealers grab between classes, after work or late on a weekend.

It suits anyone looking for a fast, filling meal with Middle Eastern flavours. Order a shish taouk plate with fries, salad and extra garlic sauce, or a pita to go when you are short on time. It is part of the city's long love affair with Lebanese food, a staple of food courts and busy streets across the Montreal area.
