| - After driving by Amel's several times and laughing at the pink genie street sign, the boyfriend and I decided to give it a shot around 7 PM on a Friday night. Best. Decision. Ever!
I drove and was happy to see a parking lot in the back. Restaurant was dark and decor was unique with painted murals on the wall.
We were told the wait would be about 20 minutes, so we stopped by the bar. Moments after receiving my wine, we were seated. A 20 minute wait wasn't bad, but a 5 minute wait was even better!
Food was incredible. Fresh, homemade, local, very filling!
Appetizer: Stuffed peppers. 3 decent-sized peppers & complimentary freshly baked pita bread.
Entree: Chicken something-or-other (I can't find name on the online menu). Bone-in chicken thigh from a local farm; rice pilaf; veggies.
Service: Decent - the only reason I decided on 4 stars, instead of 5. Waitress was friendly, but not terribly attentive (perhaps because they were busy?). She stopped by to take order, deliver appetizer & food, and to deliver check, and I found myself beverageless a couple times.
Overall, delicious food and a nice experience.
