Restaurant Amir — Restaurant in Dollard-des-Ormeaux

Went in on the 29th or 30th June 2024, service was fantastic, he smiled, he's nice and I feel like a customer and the food looks fresh and good. I never tip, I tipped the guy 2$, it's not much but it's just to show that I really appreciate the way he does things.

Now today, I went in, it's the other guy, tall and skinny and looks like he wants to kill himself?

I asked for the same thing, Shish taouk plate, now right away I noticed he does not put as much as the other guy, ok fine, whatever, he gets to the salad and his "romaine" lettuce is bright yellow and white, I ask him, is that the only lettuce you have? usually it's green, it looks fantastic.

He shouted, what's wrong with my lettuce and then went off saying I always do this, waste his time and to not come back.

He might be referring to the last time I came in and he looked at me like 2-3 times and didn't once say hello. I decided to leave, there's no way I'm going to look at this guy that wants to kill himself. He actually said Hi, as I was leaving, I turned around said Hi and left.

Or maybe he's referring to the time that I asked him not to put dried chicken that has been sitting on his metal plate under the chicken stick that goes around on the grill thing. He didn't understand what I said, and he did put dried chicken in my two plates so I left.

If you don't want to be there, WHY ARE YOU THERE?

People that come in want to have a good time, get some good food and not feel your mental issues just by looking at you.

It's too bad, it's the only "Lebanese place" in the area that had nice green lettuce.

I hope you get rid of that angry MOFO because he's obviously...

I came in last night at around 8:30pm for a shawarma plate. The service was very friendly; one of the men even gave me a water bottle on the house for my daughter.

However, the food was scarce in the trays, and certainly tasted old. The meat was very dry, as were the potatoes and picked radishes. It was the first time I didn't enjoy an Amir meal. 3 big bites or so into my food, I felt my throat swelling and incredible heartburn. This horrible reaction escalated. I stopped eating the food after a couple minutes, although very hungry. I was soon pacing outside, afraid to drive. The reaction was so horrible and was getting worse, almost feeling like a heart attack combined with nausea. After some deep breathing I decided to try driving home. Halfway there my body vomited up everything I ate at Amir, all over my car. I felt better immediately after over an hour or so of much pain.

I would say it was food poisoning, but it seemed more like an allergic reaction. I am not allergic to anything in that dish and have had it countless times. I also hadn't eaten for hours before. So either it was good poisoning, or there was cross contamination in the kitchen prep with an employee who'd been eating peanuts, as that is the only thing I've been testing to be severely allergic to.

Either way, the food was in poor condition, old, and clearly something was wrong with it. Hoping that this feedback will encourage better quality of food preparation. I am VERY thankful my baby daughter refused to eat it (which is unusual for her...

If I could've gave zero stars I would've. Ive been eating there for years and recently I ordered a poutine and he tried to serve me molded poutine cheese, and when I tried to tell him the cheese was molded he tried to tell me it was just parsley. Ive owned a food business for over 20 years, and my quality control is second to none. I do understand that his business might be suffering from financial problems, due to the fact that there was hardly any customers eating in there. So I asked him to please change the cheese but he refused to and had told me to get out and not to come back. Not only was he rude, but he failed to realize that people can see the difference between molded cheese and parsley. A real business that actually about the food quality and his customers would have just changed the poutine. Not to mention I was the only...
