Reviews for AMBA Mediterranean Grill in Joliet, IL
Fresh, delicious, and affordable! I got 2 bowls - one with shawarma chicken and one with falafel. Both are cooked fresh - they... even fried the falafel right in front of me before putting on my plate. All fresh ingredients! I particularly loved the pickledparsnips. They also have fresh lemonade made with ginger and mint ???? You get to choose what goes in your bowl, similar to achipotle assembly line. The staff was extremely welcoming, friendly, and helpful! I'll definitely be coming back here often! Read more
This place was amazing! This was our first experience here and the gentleman and young lady behind the counter were so patient... with us. The gentleman helped guide us through our options and although the restaurant has a very modern touch, I felt like thetaste was very authentic. We ordered three separate items and a fry to split between the four of us and everything wasfantastic. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of sauces offered and grateful with the patience to have all served onthe side. All of the food was incredibly fresh. We choose several fresh veggie additions. We choose two proteins; one gyro lamband the other the lamb/beef steak and both were cooked very well and tasted fantastic. I've gone to some places to bedisappointed with too much grease or greasy feeling meat and this was perfectly cooked for all three dishes. The servings weregenerous, especially with the bowl. The baklava was wonderful as well. We will definitely be returning here. Thank you for sucha wonderful experience and fantastic dinner! Read more
Very flavorful and fresh. Lots of options of toppings to add We really enjoyed our lunch and my kids loved eating all the... veggies and rice in the bowl. Something for everyone. Their ginger lemonade was very refreshing, not too sweet or sour which isa fine balance. Great service also. 100% would recommend. Read more

I stopped by at Amba during my lunch time. I created a bowl out of tomato pilaf and steak Shawarma. I added chickpeas, hummus ,... baba ghanoush, mixed red cabbage salad and tahini with pomegranate molasses sauce on top. I like the taste and the freshness ofthe food. I mostly liked the service!!! A very friendly gentleman, Phill, went above and beyond and explained things to me sinceit was my first time there. He also suggested to grab ginger mint lemonade, which I loved. I see myself coming back here nexttime with my family. Read more
