Editorial Review for Amel's Restaurant – by Sam Edelmann
The Scene
Housed in a small strip mall in Baldwin, it has a medium-sized dining room with kitchenesque '70s decor with banquettes and tables.
The Food
The seafood and pasta here are assumed to be fine, but the Persian food is so good, it's hard to order anything else. There is a wonderful Persian salad, with lettuce, parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers and crispy pita chips, served with a sweet pomegranate dressing.
If You Order One Thing
Most people opt for the kabob dishes--char-grilled skewered meats served with salad, mixed vegetables, rice pilaf and pita.

When asked every year where I want to go for my birthday, I always pick Amel's. I've tried a few of their dishes (Alladdin pasta is out of this world) but most times I stick to sharing a few appetizers. The stuffed grape leaves, She Crab soup, hummus or the Amel's salad with lemon mint dressing and feta. My husband usually gets the gyro platter or the shis kabobs. I haven't had a bad meal. The atmosphere is casual and the staff is friendly. If you like greek food (or even if it's your first time trying it) Amel's is a must!
Pros: Wonderful food
Cons: can be pricy depending on items ordered

I generally don't do this kind of review but this place was awful. I will NOT be going back! The food was way too spicy and undercooked. Blech!
