If you’re looking for top-notch halal grilled food, this spot is an absolute gem! Every bite is bursting with rich, smoky flavor—perfectly seasoned, perfectly grilled. From the juicy kebabs to the tender lamb chops, everything tastes fresh and authentic. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their craft. This place raises the bar for halal cuisine—highly recommended!

5 stars across the board! You feel at home when you walk in to Al Qimma. My friend and I stopped in for lunch and for my first time I was happily pleased with how good the food was and how nice the staff was. We sat down to eat in some very nice and comfortable chairs and were served very quickly. I can’t recommend this place enough I will be back and it may be tonight!

Spot right near the Buffalo Airport. Located in the first plaza right off the off ramp from 33 its really convenient. Several tables for 4-6 persons. Food was made fresh to order and the meats were so good. Portions were great. Everyone left happy and full!

Al Qimma – A True Culinary Gem Al Qimma was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hummus paired with roasted peppers was nothing short of outstanding — fresh, velvety, and full of vibrant flavor. Every bite reflected careful craftsmanship and a true passion for quality. The entire menu is delicately prepared, presenting food that feels less like a meal and more like a masterpiece. The attention to detail, both in flavor and presentation, speaks to the heart of their kitchen’s commitment to excellence. With its welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service, Al Qimma delivers more than just dining — it delivers an experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates thoughtful, beautifully crafted halal cuisine. Al Qimma is truly a place where love and flavor meet.

The best foods I’ve ever had! The service is extremely friendly and accommodating in any and every way. I could honestly eat there every day. They remembered my wife and I after one visit. I couldn’t be happier every time we go there. I just wish I lived closer.

One word “amazing”. This is probably the best restaurant is Buffalo. From quality to taste everything is top notch. Their garlic sauce is on another level. Everything is just fresh and delicious. Amazing people!

We had an amazing dining experience at Al Qimma Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the ribeye steak, and it was perfectly cooked to the exact doneness I requested—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. My husband chose the beef kofta, which was moist, savory, and truly satisfying. Both dishes were served with rice, and the portions were generous. The plate presentation was excellent, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of food and service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!

Highly recommend- only second time trying chicken shawarma, first time here and was super happy. It’s my new craving, I had the double chicken sandwich combo- super tender chicken and fries were excellent. Customer service was phenomenal. Will be back it’s close to hiking trails that I love to wander.

I don’t even know if I can properly express my experience today. My husband and I visited today after seeing the video by @StepOutBuffalo. We knew we had to take the 1 hour 40 minute trip out from Olean. I’m a Lebanese woman and other than my own cooking or my Mother’s, I have no one else to make me authentic dishes that bring me back to my Siti’s table again. We were welcomed in and a beautiful young lady walked us through the entire menu. We ordered a wonderful array of dishes to enjoy as well as some delicious sodas to try too. My first bite of the Fattoush sent me immediately into my Siti’s kitchen in 1997. I sat at the table and cried. The salad was absolutely delicious but more so sent me down memory lane and just brought back wonderful memories of holiday meals surrounded by cousins, aunts, uncles, Siti and Ghidi. My husband had to console me 3 times during the meal. The fried Kibbeh was delicious and even more so when we added the fresh hummus to it!!!! This was the absolute best hummus I’ve ever had!!!! We had the chicken shawarma plate and it was wonderful!!!! So flavorful! The rice was fantastic, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was full of flavor! I personally could have used a little less sauce but it was still fantastic! Next time we will get it in the wrap so my husband can get it spicy and I will get it original ♥️ This time we got it as the platter and got the spice on the side 😊 We tried the Arayes and it was DELICIOUS!!!! That was something I’ve never had and loved!!!!! The falafel was wonderful and full of flavor. Not dry like other places. Can’t wait to go back! So thankful for a place that stirs up beautiful memories in my heart and also with my tastebuds! Can’t wait to bring my Mom next!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for the kindness shown today. The customer service was outstanding and I wish you were closer! We would be daily customers!!!!!

Wouldn't recommend. We visited today on a whim. Ordered lamb Shawarma plate with kibbah and fries. The taste was definitely not authentic. I don't know how the previous review said she cried because it tastes authentic. Nothing close as we are very very familiar with traditional Arabic middle eastern, turkish or persian food. I would give this a 1 out of 10. The restaurant table was dirty and the condiments were all dirty like the ketchup bottle was full of stuck on ketchup that has dried out. Table was sticky and dirty from last people who sat there,and noone came to clean it when we asked the boy came with windex??? To clean a wooden table?? The kibbeh was empty inside barely any kimmah inside and it was deep fried on a high temperature the outside was deep brown but when I bite into it the center was cold and outside of it warm, the fries were over fried. And the portion of the lamb plate was not that much for paying this much. $44 for this. Definitely not worth it. Found the employee not happy to be there. It was really below average. Nothing to rave about. This place is good for non middle eastern people who have no idea what this type of food tastes like or what to expect and so when they eat it it's different from there average pot roast or tuna sandwich they eat. But for us who have grown up eating these foods all our lives, I would pass. I actually got very sick after eating here today and violently threw up. 🤢
