We had a wonderful dining experience last night (02/22/25) at Ammoora. Simply walking inside and seeing the atmosphere and ambiance set the scene for the fine dining and cuisine we were about to indulge in. Our server Susana went above and beyond and guided us on cocktails and walked through the menu for the best dishes to order. As our first time dining at a Syrian restaurant, we enjoyed the help! We ordered the Short Rib Freekeh and Kebab Antabli Skewers for mains, and it was simply stunning! The sauces that accompanied both dishes respectively brought out all the flavors and the protein shined through. We also ended with Dubai Chocolate Crunch Bar and Ashta Bil Asal, per our server's recommendations, and it was the best dessert I've ever had from this region's culinary art. I would highly recommend anyone to try out Ammoora and especially if you have not had Syrian cuisine before. P.S. We went for an anniversary date and were taken great care of by the Manager Captain of the night, and we look forward to coming back soon.

Our first experience here and it did NOT disappoint! 10/10! Food, service, entertainment all A+. Brought my mother and 12 yo daughter, we were all equally impressed. Thank you for the lovely memories and experience. Will be back!

Delicious Persian food with plenty of options for small plates and sharing. It would be easy for a vegetarian to eat here. The presentation is attractive and the seasonings are delicate and flavorful. The beautiful wall mural carved out of the old brick wall of whirling Dervishes is a true art piece. My only complaint is how loud it can be at peak times. 

The food and the service was fabulous! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a Lebanese experience!
