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…

Editor's Tips

Chow Down:
Take a trip to the 'burbs for some not-so-ordinary bites.
Hint:
The stuffed grape leaves are some of the best possibly ever served.
In Addition:
Kabob dish choices range from lamb, filet mignon and chicken to lobster and shrimp.

Don't Go!!!

by tgard453 at Citysearch

This place has really gone down hill. Don't go. Service is really bad. The cook has no sense of timing. Most of us finished before the last plate arrived. The food was nothing like it used to be. I complained to the manager/owner who didn't even apoligize. Satisfying the customer is the last thing on Amel's menu. Spread the word - this place is horrible.

My favortie local restaurant

by Blueys1299 at Citysearch

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

Horrible

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!
