Al Amir Bakery

The young lady was very sweet! I came in right when they opened. Bread is delish. I wish they weren’t so far away.

Was very tasty although, taking it away gets a little greasy because of the olive oil. But still, really yummy and fun when in the mood for something different!

YUM!!! YUM! Just had a GREAT za’atar & cheese bread here. Take the time to stop by if you are anywhere near this place. The flat bread is really good. Shukran!

Really love the Lebanese flat bread they make here! Prices are great, thy have tons of options that are all made to order, meat as well as veggie options, with cheese or without. So far we have really enjoyed all of the varietes which are prices starting at $ 3, an excellent deal! Service was very nice and our food came out quickly. Love their light and fluffy, lightly floured crust, a great snack or light meal. They also sell minis by the dozen for around $ 10 which I will have to come back for as they freeze well. Worth stopping by while in the area!

The food here was absolutely delicious! I had the Keshek Flatbread, the sause was nice and light, so i was able to finish the whole thing. My husband had the Zaatar and Cheese Flatbread which was also delicious. It was a bit heavier than mine so he had trouble finishing it. Friendly staff ann completely clean inside!

Man, I love this place. I’ve eaten a lot of manousha growing up and it was always difficult to find a bakery that does it right in my area! Al Amir Flatbread easily has the best manousha in my area and they never cease to provide quality food at a reasonable price. Their cheese and zaatar flatbreads are made perfectly (so reminiscent of traditional manousha) and always fill me up!

Nice clean place, good fresh food and pleasant environment. I ate lahm bajeen was good and order spinach and cheese triangles my kids love it.
I recommend the place, only things order take long time so may be better to call and order before you arrive.

Super nice job.
We had a nice family re-​union, gathering and we had an amazing experience, great fresh food, great veggie plates, the lebanese pizza type manaeesh are truly amazing.
The service is great, they are flexible and get you what you like and how you like it.
Good job. Thank you.

Popular and inexpensive flat bread spot. I came to the plaza looking for kebabs, but the spot next door was closed so I came here. What a find. This is a popular restaurant with local Middle-​Eastern folks with a few larger parties enjoying their flat breads.
My order #4 beef and tomato and #10 meat and cheese. I added a couple bottles of ice cold 0% alcohol malt beverage (bier) from Holland and Germany @ $ 2 each. Great light lunch. The chiptole chicken was a new addition but I forgot to order that. Sounds delicious!

Been coming to this location since 2013, and the Anaheim location since 2006.
Recommendations:
Zaatar: thyme spice very traditional to the middle east. delicious on its own or with cheese
Pizza: for the less daring. comes with green and red pepper, olives, onions, mushrooms w/​the option to add chicken. very light, delicious, good for 1 hungry person or 2 little people to share. Best Pizza in town in my opinion.
Chipotle Chicken: great if you like spicy food
Egg + Cheese: perfect for breakfast with enough to carry over to lunch (big portion)
Lahmeebiajeen: «meat on dough» in arabic, this is one of my favorites. Minced, flavorful meat on a flatbread, fire oven cooked to perfection. Sprinkle a little lemon and you have yourself an authentic Lebanese experience.
Most items come in mini’s that are sold by the dozen. I tend to buy in bulk and store in my freezer. They reheat well and make an excellent snack/​breakfast when I’m on the go. I do recommend calling ahead if you’re in a rush.
Pros: Consistent, Convenient, not as busy as the Anaheim Al Amir location, super delicious, filling but light
Cons: Parking is shared with Super King so its always busy and they keep raising the price of their food. Every time I go to Al Amir I pay a little more. Please stop raising prices. Also, they could be a little more generous with the cheese they put in the cheese triangles.
Still give this place 5 stars because they pull through every time.
Ramadan hours: 11am –8:30pm

Delicious!!! Close to home tastes like back home. So good. A must try for flatbreads! A MUST!

Best food ever all made fresh to order while you waiting you should try all of the menu and especially the calzone with mushrooms and spinach. Good place to eat in and take out try it and you will hooked.

Heres what you need to try here:
1. Sujuk with Cheese
2. Kifta (with cheese for me)
3. Chicken Chipotle
4. Sfeeha not the lahm-​alajeen!
5. Egg and cheese

If I had to summarize this place it would be a diamond on the rough.
Ambiance
Parking:
*The plaza is pretty big so you shouldn’t have any issues with the parking.
Seating:
*Lot of room, I wouldn’t worry about trying to find seats. Whether you’re here with groups or on a date, they accommodate for both.
Feels:
* Once again the plaza is pretty mundane and the restaurant is simple business of order and eating. Whether you have the munchees or in need of a quick bite. This is unique delicious. A hidden gem if you’re not into hyped up bites.
Food:
Sfeeha & Cheese (Custom Request, Recommended)
When I looked at the orders I felt like they were too extreme (too much cheese or too much meat) but fortunately they were able to make the adjustments. Definitely not your average pizza as the spices makes all the difference. I believe it provided the perfect balance of cheese and meet. The meat was like grounded beef and the cheese helped it stick together. I personally wish they had sriracha.
Customer Service:
Attentive and polite. We didn’t mind the wait as we were able to use the bathroom and get drinks from Albertsons.
Overall:
4.5 stars. Great place for people on a budget, quick, simple, and different. I wouldn’t mind coming back here, I just wish it was more accessible on the free way.
TL;DR Tips:
* Great place for a budgetable date night.

I love this place. All the flatbread are fresh and tasty. My favorite are zaatar for breakfast and Kafta for lunch. You MUST try it.

Flatbread.
Great food. Love the Zaater and Cheese.

I had to do a double take when I accidentally ran across the Unilocal review for Al Amir Bakery in Claremont.
Long ago, I was introduced to these delectable flatbreads by a friend at the original Al Amir Bakery out in Anaheim. But that trek is far, so you can understand how ecstatic I felt when I discovered how close I live to this establishment.
If you haven’t had a middle eastern flatbread, do yourself a favor and eat one. Skip all of the other stuff they offer here ie conventional pizzas and order the zaatar and cheese flatbread which is basically a pizza, sans sauce, with an array of fun spices that keep the whole thing that much more interesting. Feeling more adventurous? Get the soujouk and cheese flatbread which is like the cheese flatbread except there’s a flatten piece of spiced ground beef topped with cheese. Delicious.
And I love that the flatbreads come with pickles, tomatoes, and picked beets.
The very best part? It’s dirty cheap here. It feels like you’re eating for free because it is so ridiculously cheap. All of the flatbreads are priced under $ 6 bucks. Ridiculous.

Walked over here while waiting for my car’s oil change. My girl and I wanted to try something new. We ordered a safe pizza and one that we normally wouldn’t get. We got the chipotle chicken pizza recommended by the kind lady taking our order. That one was really good! Very tasty and kinda spicy which is what I expected, but for some reason forgot. lol. We also tried the zaatar and cheese flatbread which I don’t think I have a taste for because I didn’t like that one very much. I think I’m just not used to those kind of flavors.
It looks like they just moved there, left everything as is except for the menu above the register. Who knows. The place could use some décor to set the atmosphere. Bathroom was okay… except for the fact that there wasn’t any hand soap so when I told the guy in the back (seemed like the manager and that I was bothering him) he came and filled a styro-​foam cup half-​full with hand soap and left it next to the faucet. Just like that. Not sure if it’s intended for people to pour in their hands or dip their hands or what, but it wasn’t cute. Also, when I asked for a box to take home the food, the guy gave us a paper bag. Confused, I just looked at him… Then I looked at the boxes, then I looked at him. He hesitantly offered the box and definitely wasn’t happy when I asked for 1 more. Oh well.
Other than that, my Americanized taste buds say 2 thumbs up on the chipotle chicken pizza.

Al Amir makes flatbreads with toppings on them, similar to a pizza, except that they use ingredients that are not readily identifiable to the typical pizza buyer. Some will call this type of food Manakish.
Instead of a pizza crust, they use flatbreads that are absolutely delicious. The oven gives the flatbread a crisp outside, while the inside is soft and warm. I assume the flatbread is basically naan, and the texture is great.
I had the zaatar and cheese flatbread, which was awesome. It comes as a personal-​size (but actually quite large) flatbread covered in zaatar and a special cheese blend. Zaatar is an herb (s) that come from the same family as oregano, basil thyme, and thyme, so you can imagine how fragrant this is. It is usually blended with olive oil and salt to make a spread which is what I think they do at Al Amir. Then the cheese blend (feta and other cheese maybe?) goes on top of that. The combination is really delightful.
And the price! Zaatar and cheese flatbread can be had for an absolute steal! $ 3 or so. I think the flatbreads with meat like chicken go up to the $ 5 – 6 range.
