What a wonderful gem this place is! Since travelling to London, England, I have been unable to find a shop as good as this that offers fantastic Shawarma, Kebab, falafel and other Mediterranean goodies! The staff are over-the-top friendly - if you aren't sure what to try, their recommendations are solid gold. We were even given a tea while we waited as a simple customer service bonus. We decided to go for the Trio Loaded Fries and we were certainly not disappointed! A lot of food vs. price - something that is amiss with other places in this present economy. If you are in the area, do yourself a favour, stop by, and give Ameer's a try! 10/10

Great food! Saw it on tik tok and so glad we tried it. The workers were super friendly- only took off stars because there were only 2 people working on a Saturday night and it was packed. Would highly recommend for a delicious lunch or dinner!

⭐⭐⭐⭐A Must-Try Spot in Tuscaloosa! Ameer’s Mediterranean Cafe is hands down one of the best hidden gems in Tuscaloosa! I tried the Kabob Wrap and the Chicken Shawarma — both were absolutely delicious. The meat was juicy and well-seasoned, and the wraps were packed with fresh ingredients and authentic Mediterranean flavor. If you’re a foodie or just love exploring bold, satisfying flavors, this place is a must. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the food tastes homemade in the best way. I highly recommend it and will definitely be going back to enjoy more soon!

The food was amazing. The service was good and since they cook everything to order, the wait is lengthy and the location is small. It would only seat around 10-12 people if I had to guess.
