L'Amira Steindamm in Hamburg

The taste of the food was 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, however, there was less choice than we were told and even written at the beginning. I went there specifically for the grill. Instead, I saw potatoes, fries, shawarma and rice....ect. When I asked about the grill, the employee told me that I should have come earlier to be the first to choose from the buffet😑. After a discussion, they did grill me some meat extra.🙃 We waited about 30 minutes and had to ask several times until our table was finally prepared. Some employees were nice, but not all. It would be better if you let us know earlier if there isn't enough food - then I could have spent my 30 euros somewhere else. Also, the discussion wouldn't have been necessary, which was also unpleasant for us.

I went to the “Al-Amira” restaurant for Iftar with two colleagues. Due to the high demand, the service was overwhelmed. Our table was not prepared and the starters were only served half an hour after breaking the fast, despite us asking several times. The buffet cost €30, but did not meet the expectations of an open buffet. The staff portioned the food for the guests, which meant that cheaper dishes such as rice, potatoes and vine leaves were generously distributed. Higher quality dishes such as meat and grilled dishes were only available in limited quantities and when I asked for them, I was told that 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 corresponding service, meat and grilled chicken were finally brought - but only almost an hour after breaking the fast. It felt more like an afterthought than a regular part of the buffet. What was particularly disappointing: Last Ramadan had already seen similar problems with overbooking, lack of organization and insufficient availability of food. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. In addition, the buffet was not designed for the large number of guests, which led to long waiting times. Overall, the price-performance ratio was not right for me. Conclusion: Unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations. Since the organizational problems were repeated and the buffet did not offer what was promised, I would not recommend the restaurant - especially during Ramadan.

We found the waiter a bit unfriendly and uninterested. We had to call the waiter over several times so that we could receive standard service, even though the restaurant was almost empty - he preferred to play around with his cell phone. To pay we had to get up and walk towards the waiter - which seemed to bother him - but as a rule you check on your guests at regular intervals, for example asking if everything is/was ok and clearing away when everyone has obviously finished eating. You would get a tip for outstanding service, but not for extraordinary... A guest who came after us was watching videos in Arabic extremely loudly and had his shoes on the seats - the waitress didn't think it was necessary to forbid him from doing so. A group of young men who came after us were also very loud. I had falafel which was delicious, the side salad was a bit bland and the black tea was way too strong. There's definitely something about the ambience - there are ornate Syrian-style tiles and wooden designs everywhere. Maybe we had an unlucky day...

Always great! Great service. The food is always top: generous portions and tasteful. Always my pleasure.

Shawarma was absolutely nothing special and lacked salad. In addition, unfortunately my order was recorded incorrectly. Otherwise the service was good and the ambience wasn't bad either.

Very tasty, very friendly and nothing to complain about. If I lived in Hamburg, I would 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

Amazing place, amazing atmosphere, worth visiting by everyone

Breakfast for 35€ for two people, simply super

Very tasty authentic Arabic food. Very nice and tastefully decorated. Service was also attentive and courteous. The only drawback: Unfortunately, they don't bake their own bread. Otherwise, great!

We had lunch there today for the brunch buffet. We ordered 1 meal from the menu. The food we tried was all very tasty. What we didn't find so pleasant was that the sausage and salmon were already very dried out. The exclusively male waitresses were friendly but had absolutely no eye for the buffet. Empty plates were not brought and when there were several plates, the spoon was in the food. You have to see something like this!! Unfortunately, the women's toilets were dirty and without toilet paper, so we won't be coming back.

I visited the L'Amira restaurant for the first time because of the many positive reviews - and I was not disappointed! As expected, the restaurant was busy on Saturday, so I had to wait about 20 minutes for a free table. But the wait was worth it. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, which made the stay very pleasant. The food was simply excellent – ​​tasted great and absolutely recommended! The prices were also fair and reasonable compared to other oriental restaurants. The only small disadvantage: the parking situation is, as is typical for the Steindamm, rather difficult. But the restaurant can't do anything about it. Conclusion: If you are looking for authentic oriental food, you should definitely try L'Amira. Clear recommendation!

me and my brazilian friends had sunday brunch for 15 euro each. food was really tasty and we ate a lot. taboule and babaganoush were my favourites.

Hygiene is zero. Overpriced. You can no longer talk about traditional food here.

The place seemed ok but 1 food poisoning and one upset stomach… don't go here.

Food poisoning. Ruined vacation…

I love L‘Amira. I have been coming here for years. The food is always fresh and the portions are generous. I especially enjoy the Fatteh as a breakfast. All dishes that I have tried so far have been very good. Service is friendly and quick.

The first impression was okay, but when I went to the toilet it was disrespectful. The floor is completely slippery, disgusting smell and no trace of hygiene!

Our visit to this restaurant was a complete success. As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed and escorted to our table. The service was exceptionally attentive and we loved the food. We will definitely come back on our next stay in Hamburg

The restaurant was recommended to me. And rightly so, the food was delicious. It was busy and quite busy but the staff worked like bees. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, which made waiting for food pleasant. When the dishes were finally served, I was amazed by the presentation and flavors. Every bite was a pleasure and made me forget the hustle and bustle around me. I can't wait to come back and try more specialties.

The food was divine and the best ayran I've ever drank. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

Beautiful, but very crowded, difficult to enter with a stroller

Very nice staff. Cheap and delicious food!

We were there with 4 people, all 4 had severe stomach pains at night, we can't recommend never again

We were looking forward to a lovely evening and authentic food, but the experience was a complete disappointment. We paid 60 euros for two people and got a meal that was neither of high quality nor visually appealing. We had ordered Tajin, a dish that is usually elaborately prepared and served in a clay pot. What we got here was simply loveless: canned tomatoes, warmed with a bit of meat, peppers and herbs and served in two bowls, with rice. Completely watery canned tomato sauce, unsalted. The whole thing seemed more like a quick improvisation and had absolutely nothing to do with traditional preparation. The starter, a small plastic plate with various pastes, was neither appealing nor particularly tasty. No decoration, no special effort – and at such a high price! Overall, the price-performance ratio here is not right at all. For 60 euros I expect significantly more quality and attention to detail. Unfortunately that was our first and last visit. Absolutely not recommended!

The food was really good! However, the drinks were extremely sweet!

L’Amira used to be my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, and I’ve recommended it to a lot of people. Unfortunately, the quality has now deteriorated significantly and the prices have risen just as significantly. I visited L'Amira today and was looking forward to a chicken casserole with almonds, raisins and dates as described on the menu. Unfortunately the dish served did not match this description. Instead of the ingredients mentioned, the casserole contained cashew nuts and exactly a single piece of a date (see photo). Almonds and raisins, which were supposed to be essential components of the dish, were completely missing. Such deviations from the menu are disappointing. The impression that cheaper ingredients such as cashews were used detracts from the otherwise high quality that I have come to expect from Syrian restaurants. I was also surprised at the price development in this restaurant. Main courses now cost around 20 euros. The service was also disappointing. There were a lot of waiters running around, but they weren't very careful and seemed pretty chaotic. The number of lamps on the ceiling is impressive. This looks really nice. But as a guest, I would rather not skimp on the ingredients.

Very good food and very nice atmosphere.

May God forgive you. I turned black in my face in front of the guests. I mean, she doesn’t get any extra money, no view, no authority, and no meat inside her. There is a lot of food, so many things, so many Salats have plenty of food 😤

Une belle découverte que ce restaurant syrien. Les plats sont excellents et très copieux. Le restaurant est beaucoup plus grand qu'il en a l'air. Le service est agréable et rapide. Les prix sont très corrects.

Card only works up to €15, otherwise everything else is perfect. Shawarma was very tasty and the bread was toasted well

Service: TOP!!!! Food: ALWAYS TOP!!! I've had many different dishes with you. I'd love to come back. Especially your Shawarma...Hayat. Ambiance: Very nice and authentically decorated. A little refuge for everyone who misses the Orient. I'm not actually picky, but you could really do some dusting, I'm sorry :D The lint is already getting caught in the wooden ornaments on the wall and on the lamps. You just see it. I would also advise one thing: Working with gloves is a nice gesture for people passing by, but when it comes to touching the grill, salads and the cash register (without changing), I prefer simple skin contact with regular hand washing. (I sat directly opposite the counter for 2 hours. Things are certainly worse in other restaurants, but there was still an uneasy feeling.) You are great hosts! gladly again! I've only had a better shawarma sandwich in Cairo...so...

I just visited this restaurant with a friend. When I wanted to pay by card, I was told that according to restaurant regulations, card payments are only accepted for amounts over €15, even though my bill was only €12. Since I only had my card with me, it was suggested that I buy something else. What a rude approach! What if I actually didn't have any cash? It wasn't a pleasant experience and put me in an embarrassing situation in front of my boyfriend.

Very friendly service, we didn't have to wait long - it was our first time eating Syrian food. Prices were reasonable. It tasted great. Worth an experience!

This goes to the colleague with the white shirt. Very very bad service.

Nice location, nice service. The price-performance ratio is good. The food tastes ok, the portions are very good and the food came very quickly. We had the shawarma plate and the lamb sausages. At the end there was a delicious Çay on the house.

Such a beautiful restaurant, the food tastes great and everything is so good. Totally nice service and everything else. nothing is missing!

Super delicious restaurant! Special dishes and it tastes great and is quick! Waiters are very nice and friendly :) We'll be happy to come back! At the end you get a chai tea

Friendly staff, delicious food and drinks, great ambience, definitely worth a visit

The shawerma is not a real shawerma and the ones with workers are not nice at all :/

The food was delicious and the staff were very cheerful and kind

Nice shop delicious food. Unfortunately a bit expensive.

Were there with colleagues. Portions are plentiful and tasty.

Prices are extremely high and the food was lukewarm, service is just fine. Too bad for the store

The dishes were very good and (too) plentiful. The service was very nice, attentive, fast and particularly child-friendly. We happily recommend this restaurant.

Great food in a great atmosphere and great staff!

The service in this restaurant is completely occupied and unprofessional, for all the choices in the restaurant. There is a lot of alternatives available for use in the Umgebung area, but it can be closed this month. Spare your money and other products that are of high quality and service quality. The service at this restaurant was disappointing and completely unprofessional, especially considering the high prices. Although there are many alternatives to Syrian cuisine in the area, I can never recommend this place. Save your money and go eat somewhere else where the quality and service are better.

The Mazda was delicious as well as the falafel and eggplant pot. Unfortunately my grill plate wasn't good. The chicken skewer was burnt and the minced skewer was dry and the lamb skewer was toe. The rice is overcooked. And even if it has nothing to do with the food, I don't find broken toilet seats and non-functioning soap dispensers very inviting. I wouldn't eat here again. Too bad

Honestly, the food was not very good, but in general, thanks

The food was very good. But the service was disorganized, sometimes unfriendly, even disrespectful and there were various errors when ordering because people seem to have problems communicating in German. I would like to give 4-5 stars but the service needs to be significantly better.

I love Arabic food and this was one of the best Arabic dishes I've had so far. The staff was perfect. I had planned my friend's birthday and the staff also helped me deliver the balloons and cake. The food was very tasty, only the pomegranate sauce was a bit too sweet for us on both dishes, but otherwise everything was very good and tasty.

Good food and nice restaurant. They adapted my dish as I do not eat cheese. Really appreciated. We will go back again...hopefully next time they make the magic show of white smoke on our table too

Most importantly, the food was not good. Too little meat and not well seasoned. A clear feeling that this was a tourist trap. The fries were dry and definitely some that had been out for a long time. The salad seemed old, the bread some cheap bread that just seemed far too dry. and the chilli that we ordered was not good

Service listless to unfriendly, price/performance is not right at all, toilets dirty and stuffy. Two stars for the portion sizes and the nice decor

I didn't have cash and they allowed me to come back the next day and eat another delicious wrap so I could pay by card (more then 10 euro)

The head of the workers is really disrespectful, my girlfriend and I are in Hamburg for three weeks the Last two weeks we ate there most of the time and yesterday we wanted to sit at the place we used to sit because we have a little dog we don't wanna bother other costumers, but one of the guys told us to sit in the other sit because it was warmer, we did and we had no problem with that once we finished I just got up to ask where we should pay, he talked to us in a very disrespectful way that everyone in the restaurant turned to us as if we have done something wrong because he was kinda shouting at me frome the end of the Hall I got closed to him and told him that I don't know where to pay, he told me in a sharp voice you pay where you eat I can't run after you from one place to another... I just left him and my girlfriend stayed because she didn't understand his language, I don't recommend it.

The food is recommended and very tasty, but the staff etc. are very disorganized and not reliable! The staff had no respect for us/me at all. They didn't take care of us at all, no questions asked about what the food was like, whether we needed anything, etc. I would recommend the restaurant, but you should bring your mood.

I can only recommend everyone to come here, eat and spend time. The food is out of this world! The people are super friendly, quick and helpful. Ambient is exciting and very oriental, possibly Arabic music. The owner is the best if he takes care of the guests.

The taste of the shawarma is okay, but not more than that, as the meat is saved a bit. There are way too many cucumbers for me. It's very busy here, especially in the entrance area. Seating inside and outside, staff functionally friendly, but everything is geared towards 'quick, quick'.

The service was good, but unfortunately the food was not.

Great food, fair price. Card payment possible

Super. Culinary highlight of the Hamburg week

Good price and very good treatment

Just great! Delicious food, great ambience and very nice staff. We will come back on our next visit to Hamburg!

We had fattah and fava beans without taste Unfortunately, no stars

The restaurant is amazing. The service and reception are promising, and the food is all very good. The prices are acceptable and are considered neither expensive nor cheap. We ordered a grilled meal for two people, and the meal was satisfactory, to be honest. We highly recommend the restaurant 😋

Leider this Restaurant has a problem with the mangelnder Ehrlichkeit and Unhöflichkeit gegenüber den Gästen. This syrischen Gerichte werden durch die Verwendung minderwertiger und günstiger Zutaten verfälscht. There is a lot of food and something that cannot be done without it. This means that there is no need to worry about the quality of the food, but it also has the same meaning and value. The hummus and die Auberginen im Joghurt waren abgelaufen. This will be very difficult to reach, before seeing it. Unfortunately, the restaurant suffers from a problem of fraud and impoliteness with customers. Syrian dishes are distorted by adding the cheapest types of meat and food. Two customers, in addition to us, were unable to finish the meal. The meat is bad, not fresh, burnt on the outside, and tastes like rubber. Hummus and eggplant with yogurt are expired. Finally, check the invoice when paying.

Very nice shop, nice staff, ate there twice in 3 days

We had mixed plate and the rice was tasting bad :-/ the meat was good though!

Good food, great service, I think almost €18 for a shawarma plate is exaggerated.

Pequeño lugar encantador con deliciosa comida y un servicio atento. La comida viene en cantidades típicas alemanas - MUCHA. Lo cual es una pena, no lo logramos todo. La decoración de la mesa de fumadores es divertido, al igual que las pequeñas lámparas. Me encantó.

Delicious food, kind staff and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌

The worst customer service I have ever seen in my life. The Syrian young man who receives the students and works in the hall is very arrogant and looks like himself. I was with my family and didn't say anything. If I was alone, I would have taught them respect. I would never advise anyone to go there. Eating a lot is normal. The place is not very clean. The worst services ever, I don’t recommend this place to anyone, the food was old not fresh at all, the customer service was so poor, they don’t respect customers at all. Not worth the price as well.

Unfortunately we didn't even get to eat. I called specifically to reserve a table for Iftar dinner, whereupon I was told that I didn't need to make a reservation today because there was enough space. We drive 2.5 hours and we are turned away by the employee at the door because they are suddenly fully booked. Clear disappointment, especially if you're fasting and planning to eat at your place. There were many tables in the back that weren't even occupied.

I just want to rate the food here. Lettuce leaves were not clean. The parsley salad was drizzled with too much lemon juice. The hummus tastes almost like it comes from a can (hardly any ingredients). Chop was still raw in the middle. Doner meat in Arabic bread as well. Unfortunately only 1 star for the price. I have already eaten at the other well-known restaurant across the street and can definitely only say the opposite of my opinion about this restaurant.

One of the places on Steindamm that almost creates a holiday atmosphere. Very attentive service and the food comes to the table quickly. We chose the matzah plate and the halloumni plate, both of which were a perfect vegetarian alternative for dinner. Not only beautifully prepared, but also very fresh and appetizing. We had outdoor seating in the evening light and felt far away from everyday life despite the hustle and bustle on Steindamm. Many thanks to the whole team!

The food is just as good as the ambience, here you really feel like you are in Syria.

We had dinner there last night. We had a starter and 2 main courses. Everything was very tasty and nicely prepared. The owner was also very nice. At the end there was a little tea on the house. We really liked the interior design. It was clean and tidy! We can definitely recommend it!

The food is fresh and delicious, the service is very good

I swear to God, the food has no appearance or taste, and it is all old and old food

Very tasty and nice, fast service!

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. We recommend!

Very tasty food and cheap prices. The staff is also super nice and friendly. I'd love to come back again and again!

The waiters are very kind and the decoration is beautiful. Syrian Lebanese cuisine. It’s a pity that Tajine does not have a beautiful lid.

Wir waren dort mit einer Gruppe von 18 Personen zu Gast. Der Service war trotz kleinerer Sprachbarrieren sehr gut. Der Kellner hatte ein Talent sich alle Getränke und Speisen mit Extrawünschen einfach so zu merken. Dies habe ich so auch noch nicht erlebt. Einige der Speisen hatten leider nichts gemeinsam mit den auf den Bildern der Karten gezeigten Gerichten. Aufgrund der Herkunft der Inhaber wird in diesem Lokal kein Alkohol ausgeschenkt, was ich prinzipiell nicht schlimm finde. Der Großteil der Gruppe war begeistert. Die Vorspeisen waren überproportioniert. Wer also viel Hunger hat, ist hier genau richtig.

Very nice restaurant. Great decor looks very authentic. The portion size of the food was HUGE and really tasty! There is nothing to complain about. The food was at the table quickly and the waitresses were very accommodating. The owner was extremely friendly! We'd love to come back!

We didn't see eye to eye with the staff (weird jokes). But the food was good. A bit expensive in my opinion.

I was just eating there. Very very tasty. The service is also very courteous. Gladly again. Be sure to try the eggplant cream

Absolute madness here. Super nice people here and the food is top class. Starters, main courses and desserts were made with love and of very high quality. We will definitely come back here again. Highly recommended.

The waiter was a bit listless. But the food was very tasty and beautiful.

Always check the bill!!! I've been here many times and have always eaten well, including this time. Unfortunately the service was very bad. The waiter with the glasses was quite arrogant, didn't even notice us and wasn't engaging at all. At the very end there was a surprise with the bill: a different (and of course expensive) dish was counted on the bill, even though we received the correct thing that we ordered. At first the waiter was annoyed, asked the guy with the glasses, but he couldn't give an answer, and only after we showed a picture of our dishes was another waiter able to finish the correct bill. We were very disappointed with this behavior. They wanted to talk to us in English, even though I have no problem with the German language at all. Very strange! Less stars also for the ambience: We had the feeling that we weren't accepted as foreigners or because of other things. Too bad!

Very tasty and the staff was nice

Very nice welcome.. very good food

Great, original food. The best oriental restaurant in Hamburg. Super friendly people who work here and you feel welcome. The various dips (Baba Ganoush etc.) with bread are a must!

Were there today. Delicious food and very friendly, courteous staff

Quality top Service a bit slow Portions small

The transaction is bad and very expensive, a falafel plate costs 2 euros
