Al Amir — Restaurant in Geneva

I ordered Chicken Kabsa when I arrived there on a weekday, and it was already busy. I didn’t mind waiting but it took a bit while for them to complete my order.

Its price was pretty good for a huge portion. I mean seriously huge. It was enough for two people.

I couldn’t say the flavour was superb. It was a bit too oily for my liking, but the chicken was soft and tender, not too dry!

The falafel is very tasty also and not dry like many other places. Prices are very good considering it's Geneva and the salad plate with chicken and a drink is around 21 to 23...
