This place has been open only a month. The decor is beautiful, the staff polite and helpful and the food...excellent! We’ve been there twice now. Once for takeout. Had the Mediterranean salad and the lamb chops. Probably among the best I have ever had!
We returned for a sit down in the restaurant this evening. Cory had the Lamb chops again (just as excellent as the first time) and I had a Filet Mignon. The seasonings used for both dishes were simply outstanding. The meat was cooked perfectly and the side dishes were great.
It’s safe to say we will return to Amalfi again and again!
We had the sample appetizer with hummus, baba ghanouj, tabouleh and yogurt salad. My favorite part was the bread baked fresh out of the brick oven served with zaatar and olive oil. A great Palestinian touch. We also had the kibbeh, samosas and falafel which were phenomenal. The entrees were equally superb with a truly unique stuffed halibut and beef ghoulash. I look forward to coming back soon and trying the kunafa crusted chicken! Definitely worth the visit and the fact that all the meat is halal makes it even better!!
The chocolate cake was perfect. Wonderful atmosphere that was not super casual. Finally.
The purpose of this additional review is to strongly encourage you to treat yourself to delicious Mediterranean dishes at this restaurant. While it’s lovely having the restaurant all to ourselves at munch time, I can’t help thinking that so many people are missing out. Better babaganoush you probably won’t savor anywhere served with fluffy, fresh, pillowy pita bread. We enjoyed the vegetarian moussaka version. The servers are so friendly and the atmosphere in the room is relaxing with lovely music in the background. We need to support these family businesses in the communities where/near we live. They have a Sunday brunch buffet that we look forward to trying too.
First time here. Expertly prepared Chicken Shistawook, off skewer. Cooked just right, not too dry. The vegetables were also sauteed just right. Friendly service, but it did take about 40 minutes for the food to arrive, even though we were the only two people in the restaurant at lunchtime on a Wednesday. Perfection can't be rushed I guess. The other person had a Lamburger and fries, both excellent as well. I look forward to returning to try more dishes on the large menu.
Good lord! There isn’t a better place to go for middle eastern food. Portions remind me of back home, prices are affordable given quality and quantity, hospitality is what Arabs are known for and that’s what you’ll get when you visit Amalfi.
I felt so happy when I found this place , because I love Palestinian food . First of all the staff are very kind and presentable , the place is so clean and the interior decoration reflect the restaurant identity. The prices reasonable . The food is so delicious and made with Love , I ordered cheese/Zatar Managesh and Mesbaha , well presented , clean and delicious .
The indoor setting is big, clean and organized .
This place definitely for big family gatherings (maybe you have to book I am not sure)
One thing the owners needs to improve , the outdoor ads , to tell people there is a restaurant here , I came to this location many times I never notice there is a restaurant open .
I do recommend this place and I will visit again to try the other dishes.

This is one of the best Mediterranean places I have eaten at in the east bay. Love their interiors. The burning pizza oven is a good warm touch. Service was friendly and quick. We ordered quite a lot of food and ended up taking a lot of leftovers. The first thing we liked about the food was how fresh everything was. Including the goise made sauces and hummus. We began with the sampling platter which is enough for two adults and a kid. Loved the cheese burek and falafel was so crisp. I ordered beef shawarma which is my go to in most Mediterranean places. It was hands down one of the best I have had. So fine cut and grilled to perfection. My husband had the pea pesto pasta and he loved it too. My daughter had the BBQ pizza and it was fresh out of the oven. The bbq sauce was not up to what I am used to but my daughter liked it. A good choice for fine dining.
Have been there about 5 times and ordered differently everytime.. Love the ambiance and food. A must visit place if you want meditarranean 😊 loved their Latte !
Halal is written on their website. Verbally verified as well. Food is tasty but less in quantity. Their Date Cake was so delicious though. Nice dine in area for family.
We order the Hot sampler which came out first. Amazing. The best of falafel I ever tried. The cheese bureka and chicken samosa were fantastic. The dipping sauces were extraordinary. Next one is Tikkeh Chicken. It was also amazing. Something simple but tastes beyond. Calzone was next. It was a hugeee portion. We can share with 2-3 people. Calzone was also amazing. The bread was really soft, they made it from scratch. The filling were only chicken and red onion, but it was really delicious. We also ordered the Lamb Kufta. OMG. This one was top notch. The rice was full of flavour. The kufta was absolutely the best one ever. The vegetable were perfect. Even my small kid love it. We will be back for sure.
First review of any kind in my life: such a courteous owner/chef, great food (quantity and quality) - you can tell the effort and details behind every dish, the layers of fresh ingredients in the salad, the flavor and fluffiness of rice, the tenderness of kebabs, the way each dish is presented... It really makes you want to sit down and enjoy a gourmet experience instead of rushing for takeouts like most of the other restaurants.
Chef Omar was great to work with, and the food was very delicious. I ordered some Greek and Mediterranean appetizers to go with a Greek wine tasting event. Chef Omar was very accommodating and helped us work within our catering budget. There was way more food than I was expecting; he really went above and beyond. The hummus and mousaka were so flavorful, and there were delicious cheese and thyme burekas, pita, and so much more. We received many compliments on the food choices. We will definitely be ordering more for future events. Thank you, Chef!
We made a stop here for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised by the delicious and fresh food and good prices! We (3) shared the Mediterranean and hot sampler platters and it was the perfect amount of food. Their baba ghanouj was amazing!
Asma was our waitress. She was very punctual, sweet, and outstanding with her service towards my family and I. She provided dishes with elegance and grace. She helped us understand the menu because our kids are very picky eaters and accommodated to our needs. Thank you so much Asma and because of the delicious food, and her amazing service we will be coming back more often!
Throughly enjoyed the experience and lunch at Amalfi. The hostess Bella was very nice and took care of us and made sure we were always taken care of. We ordered the shawarma and turkey platter and loved both! Exceptional service, nice middle eastern music, and good food!
We had steak and chicken shawarma. Both were great. Fresh and flavorful. Great service by Chef, Omar!
Delicious baba ghanoush and falafel wrap, and affordable! Our server was the chef, and he was very welcoming.
Delicious food. Well marinated chicken with char, olive oil fried fries, yummy mashed potatoes, juicy beef slices, mint infused drinks . Can’t say it all
Loved the food and kunafa was so good that we forgot to take the picture before eating :)
Highly recommended!
A new restaurant in Dublin, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. Nice, clean, courteous but pricey restaurant. Being just open recently, service is slow, otherwise food presentation and taste is exceptional. Love the fresh baked pita bread out of the oven and Amalfi Lamb.
Would highly recommend.
