    Ameera is named after the owner Nick's grandmother. My mother and I visited there soon after they opened for the day. Nick greeted us as we entered through the door. The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness. Nick seated us, gave us menus and asked what we would like to drink. Mom ordered lemonade and I ordered their Paradise smoothie. Both were freshly made. We are looking for diversity so we began with the vegetarian combo appetizer. Honestly, for one person this appetizer alone is meal enough and it was very satisfying. Mom ordered the chicken sambusack and I ordered a combo plate favorited by Ameera herself. Both plates came with a nice heap of fresh salad greens. You won't find any iceberg lettuce here. The salad remained fresh and crisp throughout the meal. Mom and I had tastes from each other's plate as this is also a culinary expedition. Next to Mom's salad was a triangle shaped pita bread that was filled with all kinds of goodies. Throughout there is a slight curry flavor that we enjoyed and all the flavors melded together wonderfully balanced. At this point we realized that this was no ordinary restaurant. Nick is very friendly and approachable when we asked questions about the food. This man has a genuine passion and pride in what he serves and keeps true to his roots and in the tradition of grandma Ameena. We felt as if we were in someone's home eating a home-cooked meal created by grandma. I'm looking forward to going there again for the cauliflower plate and the lamb chops. Dessert? Nick asks. You gotta be kidding! We left there feeling very full, but not heavily so like we ate a 2lb greasy hamburger. Ameera also offers catering. Don't pass up this gem. Eat better, eat well, eat healthier. Highly recommended!

    Nick (the owner) seems like just a genuine, friendly guy who really enjoys running his restaurant. You'll be greeted with a happy smile and enjoy an all-around upbeat time here. What's even better than that is the food. Everything was fresh, made to order, piping hot when it got to the table. Portions are generous and easily justify the price point, which is not bad, either! The red meat and chicken were both cooked to perfection on our platters. The falafel and baba ghanoush were probably the best I've ever tried. Without a doubt Top 3. We also asked for a wine pairing recommendation, and we're very pleased with what Nick gave us. I highly recommend going here - you won't regret it! Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of the rest of my order, but from the sample platter you should be able to see how great everything is!

    We stopped by Ameera in the middle of our road trip, and arrived a little earlier than its opening. The owner, Nick, graciously let us in earlier and provided us with top notch service. We got the Ameera's Favorite Combo, Paradise Smoothies, homemade hot sauce, hummus, pita to go with it. Everything was absolutely delicious - I 100% recommend!

    I don’t even know where to begin! Absolutely amazing!!!! Some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced!! They go above and beyond here! The food is to die for!!!! Everything I ate was absolutely perfect!! You have to try the homemade hot sauce. It’s literally my new favorite hot sauce. I don’t think there’s another out there that can top it. So much flavor, the perfect amount of heat for hot lovers. Ughhhh I’m in love with this restaurant and can not wait to go back! If you love Mediterranean then you absolutely have to try Ameeras!!!!!

    Very friendly owner. He was very nice and would come back just to speak with him. Overall the food was good my dish was a bit salty but everything was very fresh. My wife liked her vegetarian dish.

    If I could give more than 5 stars on here I would. Nick was accommodating, funny, and all around amazing. The food was phenomenal, worth every cent and then some. I felt like I was treated like family before I even entered when we met Nick outside the restaurant. This place is truly a marvel and for anyone who likes Mediterranean food, this is a must.

    Back in town for a visit & I looked what was a close place to eat. Saw the picture of the cauliflower appetizer and we were sold! Nick, the owner, greeted us warmly & also recommended the cauliflower. We enjoyed it thoroughly as an appetizer. Had 2 rolled pitas for dinner. (Yes! For dinner. Since we were first-timers, up visiting from the South, he graciously made us items that normally aren't on the dinner menu.) Fantastic meal. I will definitely recommend it to all the locals!

    Nick is such a great host! I haven’t been here in quite awhile but he remembered my name and warmly welcomed me and my granddaughters. Had a marvelous dinner and I’ll be going back soon! Oh and the dessert for two is fantastic!

    First time trying Ameera. Was greeted by Nick, the owner. A very pleasant man that takes a lot of pride in his restaurant! Food was great. Try the cauliflower appetizer. Recommended by Nick and it did not disappoint! Very good. We ordered the Shish Tawook Rolled and the Hummus Shawarma plate. Both were very good. Large selection of cakes and desserts but we were filled from our meals. Will definitely return! Great job, Nick!

    This is my all time favorite restaurant. The vegetarian combo is amazing. The falafel is the best I've ever had, and my partner said the lamb chops were better than Mancy's. Nick, the owner, makes everyone feel like family to the point where tables will be talking to one another and making recommendations. It's a one of a kind experience. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It's just the best

    We're from out of town and were looking for a place to have dinner. This place came well reviewed and we decided to give it a try. This is was amazing. The owner is a gem, such genuine kindness and exceptional customer service. He's also a very skilled chef. He recommended cauliflower, which we never order, but this was the best cauliflower we've ever had! And the lamb he recommended was so moist, juicy, and delicious! Highly, highly recommend that everyone go here! Thanks for the great experience!

    This is literally a gem. The food is fresh, flavorful, and fantastic all around. The owner, Nick, will be your best friend. Went there twice in a row, when I am back in Ohio and Michigan I will visit this place everytime. The shish tawook and the kafta kebabs are delicious. Every customer that came in while I was eating was incredibly happy, and I plan to take some food back on the plane with me before I head back.

    Hidden Gem: Ameera had great service, the owner was very friendly. The food was really good- the meats were tender and flavorful. The Hummus was great and falafel too! We wanted to have our food served family style to share and he was so accommodating. TRY THE DESSERT! Strawberry cheesecake was the best.

    I NEVER give reviews on restaurants but this was too good not to. From the moment my husband and I walked in we were greeted by the owner Nick and his parents. The restaurant was very clean and looked nice. We love Mediterranean/Lebanese food, we started off with the cauliflower and it was so delicious I can’t wait to go back for more. We then had the hummus and fattoush salad and everything was so fresh. Our entree was the chicken and beef with rice. The meat was so tender and juicy, we cleaned our plates. I’ve been to several other local Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurants and this by far is the best. I can’t wait to go back!!

    Went here recently with my husband and it was really delicious! We are pretty picky when it comes to food and we loved everything we ordered. The homemade hot sauce paired well with the food the baklava cheesecake for dessert was mouthwatering. The owner was also very pleasant and friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

    This was the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten! Nick knows how to make you feel at home while he shares his family's food. We were surprised and delighted with authentic rice pudding! It is a must visit!!!!

    Nick is one of the friendliest and most attentive restaurant owners we know! Not only is he amazing, the food is phenomenal! Intimate environment, never a wait and service is spectacular. Well worth a visit, hands down!

    What a fabulous dinner! My husband and I were visiting my nephew and niece-in-law in Toledo this weekend. We love all Mediterranean cuisine—especially Lebanese food! We were blown away by the delicious offerings! Huge praise to Nick, the owner/ chef who made the best falafel I have ever had, plus awesome cauliflower appetizer, tabouli, fattoush, and kafta, shish kebab and chicken in the specialty combo. We loved it so much that we took another meal to go back to Akron with us! Thank you, Nick, for this gastronomic treat!!! This is a MUST TRY! We will be back the next time we are in town! Wish we could transport this place to Akron!
