The Amir Restaurant

This restaurant has changed its name to ‘Lagan’ this year.
I want to give this place five stars because the food is so good, but it’s often quiet and so lacks a bit of atmosphere. I always thought it was the 1980’s décor, shameful ‘Goodness, Gracious, Me’ background music or the photo of the two Doris’s from ‘Birds of a Feather’ which was on the wall that put people off. However, it’s been done up since the new owners have taken over and it’s now resplendent in inoffensive browns and creams.
It was still quite quiet when I went in recently, although it was a little early in the night. The problem is its location, which is tucked away in the middle of the Ladybridge estate. If it was on a busy road or a town centre I’m sure it would be packed every night, from early until late.
The new owners have brought in new staff, which is a bit of a shame. There’s nothing wrong with the new ones, it’s just that the previous waiters’ were brilliant. Everything must change though, as The Manic Street Preachers once said, and whether they’ve kept the same chef or not they’ve still got the food spot on.
