L'Amira Steindamm in Hamburg

An absolutely fantastic experience at the L'Amira restaurant on Steindamm! We ordered grilled meat – it was perfectly prepared: fresh, juicy, very flavorful, and of the highest quality. Simply 5 stars for the food! The service was also excellent. Very friendly, attentive, and quick – you immediately feel welcome as a guest. A full 5 stars for that, too! We were equally impressed by the ambiance: cozy, clean, and with a very pleasant atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy yourself. A clear 5 stars here too! Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable visit. We highly recommend the restaurant and will definitely return when the opportunity arises. Best regards from Würzburg (Bavaria)

I had falafel with feta cheese at Amira Restaurant. The welcome was very friendly, and the place is beautifully decorated. The food was fresh and deliciously prepared, especially the combination of crispy falafel, creamy hummus, fresh salad, and spicy feta cheese was outstanding. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We had reserved a table for 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday evening, which was absolutely unnecessary. There were plenty of free tables. Drinks were brought to us without a word, "please" or "thank you." The appetizers (matzah, lamb sausage) were very large and almost qualify as main courses. I was really looking forward to the matzah appetizer plate and wanted to enjoy it. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible, as the main course was brought to the table after we'd already finished half of our meal. Since the table was very small, it was very crowded, not to mention that the main course got cold. The meal itself was okay for us, but here, too, we were looking forward to more flavor explosions from the Syrian spices. This was difficult, however, as the rice, and thus the entire meal, tasted almost exclusively of cinnamon. Cinnamon plays an important role in Syrian cuisine, but perhaps they should work on the dosage. Overall, we were looking forward to a lovely evening, one to enjoy, but unfortunately, it felt more like a "fast-food restaurant." A real shame. One more thing to note: the online menu doesn't match the one on site. Several dishes are missing. We've been to L'Amira in Farmsen several times, and we liked both the service and the food much better there. In Farmsen, they even provide a brief explanation of what's on your plate. Especially at Mazza.

Absolutely delicious 😋 I always come back, and the staff are very nice

Great food, highly recommended, better than the food in Berlin!!

I was in town and was hungry. There are so many restaurants on Steindamm. Today I happened to come here. I ordered the vegetarian tagine with rice. It's absolutely delicious! Thank you so much! I'll be back. The menu reads like a poem from 1001 and One Nights. The restaurant is extremely well-kept and clean, and very family-friendly. Lots of locals. The young waiter is very attentive. At the end of the meal, there's a cup of tea. Thank you so much! I'll be back!

The rooms look very nice with great ceiling lights. I got a table right away. I made a mistake when ordering and received my dish as a smaller appetizer. When I pointed this out, they responded immediately and increased the menu from 6 to 10! Very good service! I don't take that for granted. The taste was very good. I love matzo and having the choice to try so many new dishes. In the end, I was very happy and very, very full! General information: Very friendly Very tasty Excellent value for money Clean I felt safe there as a woman alone! Yes, I think this is important information, as many women find it difficult to go out to eat alone.

I was there today and wanted to pay by card – they only accept amounts over €10. Very annoying! I find this incomprehensible. Never again.

We all enjoyed the food very much. The portions were generous. The service was very friendly and attentive.

I sometimes buy a shawarma to go for €5 and it tastes so delicious and the price is pretty good.

Functional rather than atmospheric.

The dürüm is always delicious! But the location has really run down...

I was at this restaurant today. The service was disgusting, the waiters rude. I was sitting outside and had already started drinking tea when they rudely took away my already-started tea and gave my glass, which I was drinking from, to other guests. I do not recommend this place.

We come from Denmark and were going to stay 1 night in Hamburg. We wanted some delicious Arabic food. And we got it. I have never had such good falafel 🤩 the food, the service, yes everything was just 100% fine. It felt like a little anthill to be there, but in a good way and even though it was super busy, things were just 100% under control. Will definitely come back when I am in Hamburg again. I will dream about that falafel 😅

Haven't eaten so deliciously in a long time

Authentic Syrian and Lebanese food. I highly recommend this restaurant. Most importantly it's clean

Honestly, the grilled chicken was not good at all. It was very rancid and had no spices. It was as if it was boiled, not grilled. I did not like it at all. I do not recommend it.

The best grilled bakla in Germany The marinated baklava is amazing The guys are respectful and friendly in dealing with customers

The food was very very good. The staff were so nice.

I did not like the meat, they have special smell and taste, the service is ok.

We visited the L'Amira Steindamm restaurant with our family after a journey of over two and a half hours. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. Drinks were served first, so we started drinking them while we waited for the food. After waiting for over 30 minutes, however, not a single dish arrived – with no explanation or apology. The drinks were also overpriced, and the ayran was extremely salty and barely drinkable. In the end, we just paid for the drinks and left the restaurant disappointed to eat elsewhere. The service was unfriendly, and we didn't feel welcome. On the positive side, the beautiful and cozy oriental ambience – the decor is tastefully designed. However, this unfortunately couldn't compensate for the overall negative experience with the service. We therefore cannot recommend the restaurant.

The waiter interferes with which table we want to sit at and the food takes a very long time

I especially like the mezze at L'Amira; they're very varied and always super fresh. My favorites are the falafel, the baba ghanoush (actually moutabbel), the hummus, and the various pickled vegetables. There are also some very tasty main courses, such as the eggplant casserole maklūŋ. Overall, there's a great selection for vegetarians and vegans, but there are also meat dishes. The atmosphere of the restaurant is generally very nice; it has a cozy, stylish interior. The staff is always super friendly and service-oriented. What bothers me a bit, however, is the noise level. You sit at tables here, and it can get very loud. That's why I often order takeaway. You can also buy all the mezze in larger quantities, which is great for parties or events. The prices are a bit higher, but I think that's appropriate for the quality. Overall, I can highly recommend the L'Amira restaurant on Steindamm.

I will never set foot in that restaurant again. I was shocked to see Coca-Cola products being sold and consumed by Syrians. I couldn't ask why because the waiters didn't speak German.

You are not generous, you are stingy. If you put a finger in the tomato sauce, the pommes are old oil. Also, why is a chicken sandwich worth 10.90 €? I mean, a big star for you for this stinginess. Halabi bread, not saj bread.

Don't come back, there is no generosity, the Arabic shawarma meal is the worst experience I've had, the fries are inedible, the treatment is terrible, there is a lot of noise and commotion, the chairs are dancing as if in a tray to the tune of the song Happy Birthday to You, in short, it's crappy

That was the first time we ate something there and it was so delicious and fresh and not even expensive I would recommend it to everyone we are definitely regular customers since then

Had dinner here on a recent trip while staying at a nearby hotel. All dishes we had here were very good, and would definitely come again. We had kofta and chicken skewers with fries and rice and baba ganoush etc. as sides. Good quality meats and tasty too. Only "minus" was that the portions were very large and would not want to try to finish them all. The restaurant was busy, but it was not too noisy. The furnishings and decoration is clearly above average of mid-eastern restaurants we have visited in central Europe.

For us, it was the culinary highlight of our week in Hamburg. We came here on a recommendation, and our expectations were exceeded. The food, ambiance, and service were very authentic and warm. Our children also felt very comfortable here.

Poor service and disrespectful behavior from the staff. I witnessed women being harassed with inappropriate looks and comments. Such behavior is simply disgraceful and should not be tolerated.

La comida sabe muy buena y deliciosa. Bien cocinado y suficiente. Muy buen servicio y el ambiente es agradable y adecuado para familias. Recuerda a los restaurantes de Damasco en cuanto a platos y hospitalidad.

Today we decided to get our first schwarma at L’Amira and were pleasantly surprised. The wraps were crispy and fluffy, the chicken had wonderful flavour the pickles were sour and salty and the garlic sauce very tasty. Great choice for a meal!

The restaurant is delicious but lacks serving manakish

This restaurant offers dishes that, in terms of taste and selection, are reminiscent of Arabic or North African cuisine. There are many variations of meat dishes. The appetizers are quite filling. However, my selection didn't completely convince me in terms of taste, but that doesn't mean that other dishes aren't delicious. The baba ganoush, in particular, was quite good. The service is friendly. I find the restaurant's division into two areas a bit inconvenient: one for shawarma in bread and one for classic à la carte dishes. It's a shame that you can't order shawarma in the restaurant area along with other appetizers. The prices for meat dishes aren't extremely overpriced compared to other restaurants nearby, but they are on the higher end.

Really great food. Unfortunately, the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Unassuming flavor bomb. Who would know, walking past, that this place offers a delicious menu that delivers what the menu suggests you'll get. A different set of dishes each day, we ordered two of the items from this Thursdays offerings. My pictures don't do the flavor justice; subtle, depth, and definitly coming back for more. They told us about the Sunday buffet, so heading back for that. The staff was helpful, polite, made a couple of good recommendations. If i lived in hamburg, this would be a weekly go to - the mains were just over €10! Highly recommend.

Delicious lunch! Very tasty, delicious flavours. Different lunch menu every day of the week. Reasonably priced. Friendly service. We had chicken strips with apple, orange and ginger sauce with veg and rice; and red pepper stuffed with lamb mince, rice, salad and baba ganoush. We will return to try the buffet brunch on Sunday!

There were 18 of us there. No one had any complaints! Great creations, great food, and excellent value for money!

The food, quite honestly, wasn't as great as advertised and was overpriced. I didn't recommend it to anyone.

Very bad, they try to manipulate prices. The employees try to scam during the purchase process.

We were walking by when some plates of food caught our attention followed by the absolutely amazing smell. The food was absolutely wonderful and perfectly flavoured. Potions are rather generous so do keep that in mind whole ordering

Fast, friendly and attentive service. The food was really very good with decent portions at reasonable prices. The decor is cozy and very nice. At the end there was a free delicious tea. We felt completely comfortable there. And we will definitely come back when we are in Hamburg. Highly recommended!

Delicious food and incredibly kind service. even though it was late and they were about to close, they still welcomed us warmly. Super friendly! Highly recommend

Simple, well-executed cuisine in a restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, perfect for a pleasant evening. And on top of that, we were warmly welcomed.

Anything but good, even disappointing. Bad service. Rude, restrooms very dirty and broken (men's restroom). Food covered in oil, ordered shawarma roll, didn't get fries, but still wanted to charge. Smoking in the store. To be honest, too much hype. The grill plate isn't a lamb skewer, but a turkey. Beware, it's a rip-off.

I've rarely eaten such tender lamb. The food and the decor transport you to the Orient. Incredibly delicious. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food, it was difficult to choose.

The staff was very rude and rude. The portions were very small and expensive.

Delicious (Syrian) food and friendly waiters. We'd gladly go back!

L’Amira on Steindamm is an absolute hidden gem! We had an amazing dining experience – every dish was perfectly prepared, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety with high-quality ingredients and authentic taste. What truly stood out was the restaurant’s interior – incredibly aesthetic, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and very professional. We’ll definitely be coming back. L’Amira is a place where exceptional food, design, and hospitality come together seamlessly. Highly recommended!

My experience with the dish "Kebab Bil Karaz": I was really looking forward to the dish "Kebab Bil Karaz Minced Lamb Skewers," especially because it was so attractively presented on the menu and in the photos – with an aromatic pomegranate, cherry, and ginger sauce, vegetables, and fresh saffron rice. What I was served in the restaurant, however, bore absolutely no resemblance to the dish I expected. The presentation was disappointing, the flavor was unpleasant, and the rice tasted distinctly stale – as if it had been left over from the day before. The sauce had no flavor, and the entire dish was simply disgusting. For a price of €16.90, this is absolutely unacceptable. Overall, I had a very poor experience and will not recommend this restaurant.

It is a wonderful place. First experience!

What a wonderful place for North African food. Extremely friendly staff, a lovely ambiance, and excellent food. All of our questions about the menu were answered, so even I, who rarely eats Arabic/Syrian food, was able to find something to eat. I will definitely be back. Thanks to the kitchen and staff.

Unfortunately, the food and service were not good.

Sooooo delicious! Beautiful ambiance, very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended!

An absolute recommendation. Very authentic and delicious food. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating.

Syrian-Lebanese restaurant with an attached street vendor in the adjacent building. Excellent quality and friendly service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with unusual wall tiles and many beautiful ceiling lights. Clean restrooms, although those with walking difficulties may find it difficult, as they have to climb a flight of stairs to reach the toilet. Cash and debit card payments are accepted. Parking by car is limited in Hamburg, so you'll need a bit of luck. Portions are sufficiently large; even a hearty eater can be satisfied with an appetizer and main course. The hummus as a starter is highly recommended!

We were here with a few colleagues, 13 in total. We were there at lunchtime around 12:15 and it was steadily filling up. Nevertheless, after our order, the food came quite quickly. And it was very tasty, which I say a little skeptically at first because I didn't know anything about it. My dish SishTaouk rice, salad and I think turkey or chicken, very tender, just awesome. Hey, always happy, the prices were also very fair.

Shawarma was cold and salty never ever I will go there again such a shame and the cook wasn’t wearing hand gloves

The food is great, the ambience...well...Steindamm

I was just tried to sell a falafel sandwich that had already been sitting on the counter (I have no idea how long). No thanks 👎🏻 I wonder why a restaurant that is so highly rated here would risk its reputation for a few euros.

Wer arabische Küche liebt, ist hier genau richtig. Alle Speisen waren ein Genuss. Auch die sehr freundliche Bedienung und die stilvolle Einrichtung machen den Besuch im Restaurant zum Erlebnis.

Mijn Kebab Bil Karaz wordt gebracht met een glas mineraalwater. Alles met een glimlach. De Duitse uitleg op de menukaart helpt een beetje maar het blijft een sprong in het diepe. De naam van het gerecht staat in het Arabisch op de menukaart. In het Syrische Aleppo zou dit cherry Kebab heten en inderdaad, de kersensmaak zit er duidelijk in.

Nice and cozy restaurant. It just took a long time before we received our order. But otherwise it was tasty and the service was good.

It wasn't our first time and definitely not our second time there. Absolutely recommended. Extremely delicious Very friendly staff Only the toilets are not recommended.

The food is very bad, the service and cleanliness are fine, the prices are very expensive for the meals, the shawarma was without meat and tasted just plain. The grill was very rancid The meat is cherry-free, but it has pomegranate molasses and is sweet, meaning not sour Grape leaves are worse than the worst because they come with green coriander and the soup is followed without a spoon. The kibbeh was fine but cold Fattoush is vegetables gathered together without acid and without oil. This way there is a problem, including the Service and the Sauberkeit Waren in Ordnung. This price is very expensive and the price is higher than that. This Shawarma has the meat and schmeckte nur nach noblauch. This grill fleisch war sehr unangenehm im Geschmack. This means “Lamm with Kirschen” when using Kirschen, sondern nur granatapfelsirup, und war süß statt äuerlich. We are in a state of disarray from the supermarket, so that the fresh air is served with water, and this supply is also available. This Kibbeh war zwar gut, aber Kalt. This fat is the best and most beautiful, beautiful and beautiful.

Mixed meats platter was great, good value for money, their tea is my favorite part! The staff were friendly and attentive.

First time shawarma and very tasty. I'd love to come back.

Very tasty, great interior, great service. Unfortunately it was incredibly loud in the restaurant. Many families with children entertain their children with cell phone videos and the toilets are also... Other than that everything was fine.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food. Easily accessible from Motel One! Highly recommended to eat here.

Was here for the second time and can recommend the restaurant again. Courteous service, very tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Very nice restaurant with good food 😊

For me the best Arabic restaurant in Hamburg. The food is of high quality and is always beautifully prepared. The service is good and the ambience is very nice.

Very delicious food .. recommend

We were there during Ramadan to break the fast, a logistical masterpiece, the buffet looked and tasted like a dream! Why only 4 stars because I was missing 1-2 vegetarian options.

After an exhausting and great musical (Lion King), we thought that we wouldn't get anything to eat after 10 p.m. But we were taught otherwise. The Syrian restaurant gave us a warm welcome. The falafel wraps were fresh and definitely recommended. There is only a small point deduction for the slightly longer wait for the food, but apart from that the price-performance ratio is absolutely right.

A lot of extremely hyped restaurants in Berlin can really pack a punch. Very good food and not even expensive. In relation to the quality you get for your money. Just keep doing what you’re doing 😊🔥

very tasty food but so expensive now…

Skøn restaurant. Super service. Lækker mad - virkelig store portioner. Også vegetariske retter. Fornuftige priser. Der serveres ikke alkohol, men det gør ikke oplevelsen dårligere. Stort udvalg i ikke-alkoholiske drikke. Deres Mangolassi kan anbefales

Good lunch, decent value for money, nice ambience, delicious food and a really nice team. Gladly again.

By God, we have the right to learn to do everything on our own Yesterday we had too much shawarma cheese and it was rancid and we couldn't eat Ok, why don't we pay as you want?

Really very authentic and delicious. We enjoyed it very much. Prices are totally fair, large portions. The Shawarma Arabi “starter plate” could also pass as a main course. We left here full and happy. Beautiful Arabic classical music by Feirouz played in the background - simply not to be missed. We'll definitely come back.

Amazing hummus and falafel! Very friendly staff

I have now words it got better than before the food was just AMAZING IT deserves all the money it costs WONDERFUL NO WORDS THE CHEIF IS JUST WOW

A wonderful place with a harmonious ambiance, great staff, and—most importantly—great, authentic food!

Great experience and delicious food! The service is supportive and the traditional food is very good and tasty. The portions are quite big and when you not very hungry, take only a starter. Enjoy the culinary delights and journey

We had a reservation for Iftar and it was the best open buffet in Hamburg so far. It’s not the cheapest but definitely worth it! The food is vert tasty and the staff is nice.

The price/performance ratio is excellent. It is always a pleasure

The place is good, the workers are good at working and treating people, but the food is not good, and the food in the open buffet is not good. It is better for them to keep orders, it is better for them, and the grilled kibbeh tastes bad. There are no onions and a lot of spices in it. There is no good taste. The spices are very apparent.

I went to Iftar with two colleagues at the "Al-Amira" restaurant. Due to the high demand, the service was overwhelmed. Our table wasn't prepared, and the appetizers weren't served until half an hour after breaking the fast, despite our repeated requests. The buffet cost €30, but it didn't live up to the expectations of an open buffet. The staff portioned the food for the guests, generously distributing especially cheaper items like rice, potatoes, and vine leaves. Higher-priced items like meat and grilled dishes were in limited supply, and when I asked for them, I was told they were already sold out. Only after several inquiries and a lengthy discussion about the fact that I had paid full price and expected a commensurate service were the meat and grilled chicken finally brought—albeit almost an hour after breaking the fast. It felt more like an afterthought than a regular part of the buffet. What was particularly disappointing was that similar problems with overbooking, poor organization, and insufficient food availability occurred last Ramadan. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. In addition, the buffet wasn't designed for the large number of guests, which led to long waits. Overall, the value for money wasn't right for me. Conclusion: Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to expectations. Since the organizational problems were repeated and the buffet didn't offer what was promised, I wouldn't recommend the restaurant—especially during Ramadan.

Very good and plentiful food at very good prices

The food tasted okay—I wouldn't say it was great, as it was very greasy. I chose the buffet menu today to eat what I like. Unfortunately, there was less choice than we were initially told and even written about. I went there specifically for the grill. Instead, I saw potatoes, fries, shawarma, and rice...etc. When I asked about the grill, the employee told me I should have come earlier to be the first to choose from the buffet. 😑. After some discussion, they did grill me some meat. 🙃 We waited about 30 minutes and had to ask several times before our table was finally prepared. Some of the employees were nice, but not all of them. It would be better if you let me know earlier if there wasn't enough food—then I could have spent my 30 euros elsewhere. Besides, the discussion wouldn't have been necessary, which was also unpleasant for us.

We found the waiter somewhat unfriendly and disinterested. We had to call the waiter over several times to receive standard service, even though the restaurant was practically empty – he preferred to play with his phone. To pay, we had to get up and walk towards the waiter – which seemed to bother him – but usually, you check on your guests at regular intervals, for example, asking if everything is/was okay and clearing the table when everyone has obviously finished eating. You would get a tip for outstanding service, but not for exceptional... A guest who arrived after us was watching videos in Arabic extremely loudly and had his shoes on the seats – the waiter didn't think it necessary to stop him. A group of young men who arrived after us were also very loud. I had falafel, which was delicious, the side salad was a bit bland, and the black tea was much too strong. The ambiance is definitely something – there are ornate tiles and woodwork in the Syrian style everywhere. Maybe we had an unlucky day...

The shawarma was absolutely nothing special, and it lacked salad. Unfortunately, my order was also taken incorrectly. Otherwise, the service was good, and the ambiance wasn't bad either.

Always amazing! Great service. The food is always top-notch: generous portions and delicious. Always happy to come back.

Very tasty, very friendly, and nothing to complain about. If I lived in Hamburg, I'd come more often.

Lovely staff, amazing food. The salad that came with our meat tray was actually mindblowing. Salads will never be the same after that.

Food was top!! You should ventilate every now and then, I mean it was cold outside but stuffy inside. And you have to wait a bit to pay. You can also get tea there. Despite these little things, I would love to go back🙋🏽‍♂️

The atmosphere was nice, lunch was delicious, and the service was good I recommend it

The service is bad. They ask you to sit at the table and then call the person making the order. There is no card account. You feel yourself coming to charge them
