From the OpenTable editors: Amal dazzles diners with bright, stylish decor that draws inspiration from traditional Lebanese design. This alluring Yorkville restaurant backs up its good looks with an expertly executed Middle Eastern menu that touches on all the classics—dips paired with housemade pita, mezze, well-seasoned skewer platters, and shawarma.

    Food quality is superb, as is the service. The wine list would be well served to provide more varieties that are regional to the cooking as opposed to, say, French wines. All portions should be shared -- what you pay is excellent for the quality of food, knowing that two can share. Service can be fast, but service stay is engaging and very respectful of the meal you are sharing and you simply need to ask to course the meal out with sufficient space. Interior design is excellent, and the restaurant is spotlessly clean. A great night!

    A really hot and cold review of Amal. The Good: The overall ambience was amazing, beautiful decor, dj playing great music, buzzing atmosphere, and belly dancer entertainment after 9PM. Also tried a few cocktails which were all delicious. The Bad: Our waiter was extremely unresponsive. We were constantly looking around, trying to flag her down to get simple things like order another cocktail or appetizer. This was incredibly frustrating, as we just wanted to enjoy our time at the restaurant together, not have to constantly do this side job of asking for service. My wife and I were there to celebrate her birthday, and the service took so long that we had to leave before they could serve my wife's birthday treat. To be fair, the waitress did mention we can mention it next time we visit for a dessert on the house, but the meaning is lost. The food was also not extraordinary - it was fairly good middle eastern cuisine, but nothing exceptional or worth raving about. Of all the dishes I would say the Branzino was one of the better tasting dishes, but still overall a very sub-par experience. The bill for several cocktails, a few appetizers and a shared main was slightly over $300 which was steep for a subpar experience. Would not recommend this place for a dinner occasion, I believe there are much better alternatives for the same price or better. However, would recommend for stopping by for a cocktail or two.
