Amir Des Sources (Pointe-Claire) — Restaurant in Pointe-Claire

I pains me to have to write a negative review to Amir. It’s a staple Lebanese chain and I grew up having wonderful memories with family.

I have approached the owner of this particular branch because of an accessibility issue: deceptively-marketed devices known as “air fresheners”.

There was no opening to remove them.

As you walk through the door, there is one in the entrance door.

Air fresheners - have nothing in them that freshen the air. On the contrary, they decrease air quality significantly and are the root cause of many illnesses and disorders, including skin conditions, neurological problems, respiratory problems, hormonal and reproductive problems.

They contain known dangerous and toxic chemicals to create the fragrance, well documented in the scientific and medical literature.

They have no place in restaurants or anywhere in general, other than in hazardous wastes.

They represent a barrier to accessibility to folks, especially those with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, asthma, migraines, fibromyalgia and the list goes on.

I have also sent a message to head office and have received no response.

Fragrance is a label that harms humans, non-humans and the environment by accumulating in the air, waterways and soils.

Air purifiers on the other hand purify the air, especially those with activated charcoal and binders to remove formaldehyde, VOCs and other contaminants.

It is my hope that they respond and that we can remove barriers and make Amir accessible to all. Other examples of barriers include cleaners...

I ate only a quarter of this and one bite of the vine leaves which had a strange flavour. So sad it all went in the city bins and I sick in the bathroom. I would not order takeout dinner from here again as the food is not fresh and the takeout containers don't separate so all the different liquids ( of tabuleh and salads) blend like soup. I will order out from the other Amir's but not this one. Very sad as close to home and the food was...

Thé location is filthy place is completely empty no customers yet garbage all over the floors I’ve had many terrible experiences here in the past but this time has been the worst especially after I was trying to give them a chance I ordered a chicken pita and it’s the first time they do not ask me what I want inside the sandwich and just made it to their liking when I mentioned that I do not eat my sandwich all dressed the older bigger employee started giving me attitude and getting mad and told me there’s nothing he can do about it so I left with a 15$ trio that went straight...
