Ameer's Mediterranean Grill & Catering — Restaurant in Brookhaven

Ordered $1,000 worth of food from this place on Wednesday for a picnic on Saturday, we agreed it would be ready by 2:30pm for me to come by and pick up. 30 minutes before pick up time, I called to let them know that I was on my way to pick up the food. They said it wouldn't be ready until 4pm. I nearly lost control of the car and smashed on my brakes, I was so shocked. I said, well I told you all that the picnic began at 4pm and the time we agreed it would be ready was 230pm...so it really needs to be completed by 230pm! I have to drive this one thousand dollars worth of food all the way to Alpharetta in Buckhead, Briarcliff Rd, I-85 Bridge Collapsed traffic!!!! Yikes right! The chef argued with me saying that he told me he had a wedding to prepare for, I said I know that but what does that have to do with the time that we agreed the food would be ready? We agreed a flat 230pm so the wedding only related to the fact that you all couldn't deliver the food because of the wedding, had nothing to do with it being ready at the time agreed. I mean come on, who orders food for a picnic and doesn't care what time it's supposed to be ready? No one. He went into another excuse that was completely irrelevant to the food being ready at the time that we agreed it would be ready so that was a complete headache and he didn't apologize. Even when I arrived to pick up the food, they never apologized. This was a complete turn off. You would think they would be more compassionate and customer oriented considering we're such a large corporation in Atlanta and could order from them on a daily basis if I wanted to. The person who took my order assured me it would completed by 230pm and it wasn't so they really dropped the ball on this one.

Moving on to the positives.........The good thing about this place though was that the food was good. The chicken was very, very, very high quality used for the Chicken Kabobs, and the Hummus and Pita bread was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!! It was THE BOMB!!!!! Though I think the Chicken Kabobs could have used a bit more flavor considering how large the chunks of chicken were but even with the flavor not really being the best thing in the world, the Basmati rice was the best rice I've ever tasted in my life. It was amazing. So really great food!

This review is 100% REALLY HONEST. They dropped the ball and made me look bad with the food being nearly an hour late but made me look good by my choice in restaurant. Good quality food that everyone actually enjoyed...so sometimes you have to take the good with the bad when dealing with restaurants having the entire ball in your court. I won't ever ask for this place to cater a large event for my company again but I will stop by and grab a bite to eat because it really is good. Best Mediterranean Restaurant Food I've ever indulged in. It...

I've ordered online a few times (once through Doordash, the rest I picked up myself). I love their falafel and hummus, and they give great value for the money in terms of portion size. I usually order the falafel plate, at least one appetizer, hummus, and sometimes also a salad. When I branched out with a combo special of mixed lamb and beef shawarma + chicken kabob, I was disappointed in the meat - the flavors were good, but everything was very dry.

Service has been friendly and pleasant, but tonight the minor substitution I requested (labani for baba ganoush that came with my plate) was not honored, and the $6 salad I ordered was completely missing. They also left the baklava off a previous order.

Their online menu is misleading with respect to several items; here are the ones I've encountered: The chicken kabob I got did not have any vegetables on it, unlike what is pictured. The corn salad looks absolutely nothing like what is pictured; it comes swimming in some kind of creamy dressing. It also contains raw onion, which is not listed as an ingredient on the menu, and I specifically ordered it because I dislike raw onion. (This was just mildly annoying for me, but would be very bad for someone with an allergy!) The cabbage salad on all my falafel plates has always been pickled red cabbage, rather than the lightly-dressed green cabbage that is both pictured and described. I like it! It's just not as advertised.

So, the bottom line is, there's good food and value to be had here, but take the online menu with a grain of salt and check what's in your bag before you go home. I'm moving house soon, and won't be making any special trips here when they are no longer on my way home from work, but I will likely still order occasionally when I'm otherwise in the area...

🚨 First Responder Approved! 🚒🚑🚓🫡

As a First Responder on a quick break, I was just looking for a bite to eat and stumbled across this gem on Google Maps. I originally came in for a gyro—but wow, I got so much more than I expected.

I ended up ordering the chicken shawarma dinner thinking it was just a wrap, but what I received was a full, flavorful platter with tender lamb and beef, seasoned rice, and a crisp, refreshing salad. The portions were so generous, I had enough food for two days. I was honestly shocked—in the best way possible!

The price tag was around $15, which made me pause at first—but let me tell you, it was worth every penny. The food was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, and made with obvious care.

And then there was Mohammed. His customer service was beyond exceptional. When I expressed concern about the price, he reassured me with confidence—and he wasn’t wrong. The food was delicious. But the moment that truly made my day was when he noticed I couldn’t afford a drink, and without hesitation, he gave me one on the house. That small act of kindness meant the world.

While I waited, he even let me try a dessert (shown in the photo)—something I would’ve never thought to order on my own. And I’m glad he did. It was tasty, light, and surprisingly good—a perfect way to end the meal.

In a world where great food and even greater hospitality are rare, this place delivers both—and then some. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for amazing food, generous portions, and genuine human kindness.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, Mohammed, for turning my quick stop into a full experience. I’ll...
