★★★★☆ What Paramount used to taste like before they sold out! Excellent, Fresh, TASTY Arab food, at a great price point, found in the heart of Dearborn Michigan. My family stops at this location when travelling between Chicago / Toronto. I recommend any of the platters which include a mix of different meats. The fruit drinks are great as well. The food is top notch, the best I've had in a while. No Toronto Arab restaurant gets close. The service is spotty, but friendly. Areas that need improvement: general cleanliness of the establishment, and the poor quality of the prayer area. Posted on July 17, 2017

★★★★☆ I was surprised to see change in their food quality specially the soup, salad, and service not great, beside the Bathroom was not clean too. It used to be our number one. Posted on September 9, 2015

★★★★★ Great food and excellent service. The waiter was really nice, felt bad for him bcuz he was running around and serving during ramadan. Hopefully he had chance a to open his fast. He joked with us and explained the items on the menu. Food was delicious. Would def go back. Posted on July 14, 2014

★★★☆☆ great food and nice place after the redecoration. the service is poor as always and somehow cheep... Posted on July 22, 2013

★★★☆☆ Not bad. Our food was pretty good. Some of the staff seemed a bit lazy, talked a lot and didn't respond to customers walking in, but others were working hard to serve their food. Posted on July 6, 2013

★★★★★ I eat there every time I pass Dearborn, they serve big meals and chicken kebob is really good. The service and people are friendly. Posted on October 11, 2012

★★★★★ Great place will go there anytime im in Dearborn.. Posted on July 2, 2012

★★★★★ All I can see this is the best sharwama place in Dearborn area we always go this al-ameer whenever we go to Michigan area From Toronto we prefer to eat at al-ameer Posted on March 2, 2012

NR TOP-10 IN USA VERY GOOD FOOD ZABIHAH ALL Posted on October 31, 2011

★★★★★ The food is excellent and very authentic to home cooking, but even better. I particularly recommend the rice and lamb. Posted on March 19, 2011

★★★☆☆ Went with my wife, food was okay. Wouldn't really eat here again, but at least we tried the place because so many people say its good. Posted on January 30, 2011

★★★☆☆ I ordered a combo platter with all sort of kebabs on it. The food and service was good. The waiter was helpful with the order. Posted on May 8, 2010

★★★★★ We had a large family platter with assorted kebabs and tikkas and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was very good too. Anthony Bourdain tried the raw kebbie plate here in an episode of his show. Posted on January 9, 2010

★★★★☆ The best bread in Dearborn, very authentic. I have been there at least 10 times and found the service to be just fine. Their grape leaves are very tasty. Posted on February 1, 2009

★★★★★ Fresh bread, excellent salads, great shawarmas & grilled chicken. Best arabic taste in town. Posted on April 8, 2008

★★☆☆☆ The service was bad from when we asked for directions to get there (we drove from Ann Arbor, it should have taken 30-40 minutes but it took us 1.5 hours). They gave us completely wrong directions, even after calling multiple times for help. I thought this was a bad sign and did not want to go anymore, but everyone else did not feel like going somewhere else. We did not get our complimentary bread and water until we asked for it and waited till we were almost done with our food. Everyone else around us did not have this problem, so this differential treatment made us feel worse. I will not go there again. Posted on August 6, 2005

★★★★★ It is the default resteruant my family and in laws go to in dearborn if we can not decide anywhere else. The service is suspect at times but the food is consistently good! Fresh bread is very good and very nice family atmosphere. Recommend to dine in! We enjoy the Al-Ameer platter which includes many meats, salads and sides! Posted on August 2, 2005

★★★☆☆ I have been to this restaurant a few times but off peak hours and service has never been an issue. On the other hand, the chicken kafta that I ordered was not fully cooked and I had to send it back. Waitress was unemotional about it and unapologetic. Cream of chicken chop is a good choice. The rest of the food are just ok. Posted on June 11, 2005

★★★★★ Good food. SHAWERMAs are the best. Posted on March 22, 2005

★★★★★ Best arabic restraunt in the states. Service is horrible, but the food is classic. Posted on December 16, 2004

★★★★☆ I have been going to this restaraunt for a while. everytime i go to detroit. Food is good and staff is good. We like the Al-Ameer platter. always assumed it was halal, never asked Posted on November 28, 2004

★★☆☆☆ The food at Al-Ameer is average. The service is horrible. Our waiter was slow in bringing our appitizers. He seemed to be in a hurry, although he was waiting on only one other table. This was my first time, and LAST time to go to Al-Ameer. Posted on March 18, 2004

★★★★☆ I frequently eat the local Dearborn area Mideastern restaurants. Al-Ameer seems to have the best Fatoush salad. Try the Grilled chiken(with bone), Shish kafta and Lamb chops. Posted on December 19, 2003

★★★☆☆ "Good food. Remember, always ask if its halal/zabihah if you're going to a restaurant for the first time." Posted on June 30, 1999
