" I was excited to try Amel's after hearing so many good things, but unfortunately, my experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. While the service was friendly, my meal fell flat. I ordered the mixed kebab and found it overcooked and lacking seasoning. The appetizer, however, was fantastic – the stuffed grape leaves were fresh and tasty. I'd give them another try but would order something different next time. The ambiance is lovely, making it a nice place to dine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in on a Friday night, and the place was buzzing! I loved the energy in the room. The staff was friendly, if a bit overwhelmed, but the food was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the kebab platter and was really impressed with the seasoning. Everything tasted fresh and handmade. However, the portion left me wanting more. That being said, I would return without hesitation for the flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amel's is a place I frequently come to with friends. The setup is cozy and the food is usually fresh. I always grab some appetizers to start, especially the spinach pies. My only issue lies with the entrees sometimes being inconsistent in portion size for the price. Service is decent, but they can be a bit slow during busy hours. Still, it remains a go-to for Mediterranean fare in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Amel's for a quick lunch and was very pleased! I ordered the gyro platter which was not only delicious but very filling. You could tell the meat was freshly prepared, and the tzatziki sauce added the perfect touch. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was lively. Service was prompt and friendly. I look forward to coming back for dinner with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Amel’s felt like stepping into a warm Mediterranean home. The decor was inviting, and the owner made us feel welcome. We started with a garlic labneh that was fantastic and ordered grilled fish for the main course. It was well-cooked but somewhat under-seasoned. I would have liked to see more vibrant flavors. Still, the overall experience was warm and genuine. I’d advise trying their desserts – they looked delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amel's Restaurant is worth the trip! Visited with my wife for our anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The wait staff was attentive and made sure our drinks were always full. The small plates made for a perfect shared dinner. I highly recommend the mezze platter; it has a plethora of delicious tastes. The atmosphere is lovely and intimate, definitely a perfect spot for a romantic night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Amel's. The restaurant was bustling on the night we arrived without a reservation, but we were seated within about 20 minutes, which was great. The service staff was very polite and attentive. However, my main dish lacked the expected Mediterranean flavors. I ordered the salmon, and while it was cooked well, it was plain and not memorable. The salad was fresh but it felt overpriced for what we received. Still, I appreciate the effort from the staff and may revisit. " (*Curated Review*)
