Sure, half-naked women might be rolling their stomachs nearby diners while they?re trying to enjoy their Kibbe Makley, but that?s all part of the experience at Al Amir. The Lebanese restaurant and club not only offers traditional dishes like sujouk (a spicy Lebanese sausage) and sharkat (Lebanese steak), but also nightly belly dancing and a hookah bar for patrons to enjoy. It also has a house DJ on hand to spin international dance music and a fully stocked bar to keep the spirits flowing throughout the night, or until 2 a.m. rolls around. If dance music isn?t your scene, then stop by Al Amir during the day for the lunch buffet from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. every Monday through Friday.

The food here is actually really good. Share some kabobs and baba ganouche for dinner, enjoy a flavored hookah after the meal and be entertained by belly dancers. There is also a dj on the weekends. Hit it on the right night, and you may be enticed to join the crowd in a dabke.

Great place for a little Middle Eastern flavor! If you are a fan of belly dancing, hookahs, dancing and a fun ethnically mixed crowd, this is the place for you!
