Great for outdoor dining
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

In Lebanon, food is an essential part of all family and social gatherings, with bold flavors, colorful vegetables, and vibrant proteins fresh from the marketplace. Prepared simply and with passion, our cold and hot mezze, various grilled meats, kebabs, fresh seafood, and creative homemade desserts offer something for everyone, including an abundance of vegan and vegetarian dishes.
At Amar, small plates are meant to be shared, and we encourage you to soak up the aromatic spices and herbs of the Mediterranean and the Levantine coast with our handmade pita bread baked fresh in our wood-burning oven. Inspired by the creative souls who embrace old cultures and new experiences, our cozy space is the perfect mix between rustic and refined, the nostalgic and modern. The Kurban family and their attentive staff invite you to linger over a meal and experience their genuine hospitality.

Best Happy Hour in Delray! The new Amar is fantastic, the ambiance is spot on and the staff are PROs. The team works together like a symphony. The food is the star, so so good. The drink selection is perfect. It's a great place to have a celebration meal with friends or a nice night out for a couple. The hummus with beef shawarma is so yummy, it is a MUST have.

Although we’ve dined at Amar‘s many times in the past this was our first visit in their new location. The decor is lovely and the food continues to be top-notch. But our server, Justyn, elevated our experience making it the perfect evening. We will definitely ask for him when we return in the future. Amar is officially my favorite restaurant in Delray.

Food is excellent. Service is also very good. But it’s a bit pricey. Outside was incredibly noisy especially when the belly dancer was doing her thing. They need to figure out a real valet solution.
Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & BarResponded on January 12, 2025
Hey Mitch, Thank you for your feedback and for dining with us at Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our food and found our service excellent. We understand that noise can be an issue during live entertainment but it is only for 10 minutes while the belly dancer is performing at 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays . We're always striving to provide the best experience for our guests. We hope to welcome you back soon! Best, The Management Team

Only two of us, my wife and myself. We had reservations and were given a small table in the middle of all the activities next to a table of 12. Quite noisy. I had to complain several times to finally be moved. We have been to many Mediterranean restaurants in the past but some dishes we ordered did not look or taste as good as similar dishes we are familiar with. Definitely not a value.
Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & BarResponded on January 6, 2025
Hey David, we're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar. It's always our goal to provide an enjoyable and memorable dining experience for our guests, and we're disappointed to hear that we fell short on this occasion. We apologize for any inconvenience caused but from our understanding that you were actually moved to larger and quieter table once our manager Nicole was made aware of your request. We hope you'll give us another chance to make it up to you.
