Ameer’s Mediterranean Grill is a relatively new
Mediterranean restaurant in the Toco Hills area of Atlanta; known for its
Jewish population and shops. It is relatively small, with only 6-8 tables, but
a varied menu, including all the staples – appetizers (e.g. humus and baba
ganoush), salads (e.g. tabouli and fatoush), sandwcihes (e.g. falafel and
shawarma) and entrees (e.g. kabobs and schnitzel). You have to order, pay and
pick up your food at the counter – they will bring it to your table if it’s not
too busy.
M and I order a
broad variety of dishes. The Humus ($4.99) has a really smooth texture and
taste. It comes with pitas, which are big and fresh, perfect for dipping. We
get a side of the Zhook Spicy ($1.50), a little spicy sauce that is a kind of
fresh and spicy chimichuru, great to dip and put on sandwich. The Fatoush ($6.99)
is very fresh, chopped in tiny pieces and well garnished (very lemony). Could
have had more baked pita in it. The Falafel ($4.99) are six small balls, which
are crispy outside and smooth inside. Delicious! The Beef and Lamb Shawarma
sandwich ($7.99) is full of flavor, even if the meat itself isn't so special.
The tightly wrapped Lebanese bread absorbs some of the spices of the pickle,
tomato, tahini and humus and makes it a delicious mix. It comes with fries, the
only disappointing item (soggy).
VERDICT: 91/100
Ameer’s serves great
affordable Mediterranean food in an unassuming place.
