Reviews for Amani's BYOB in Downingtown, PA
My son and daughter-in-law were celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary and made reservations at Amani’s. I contacted... Amani’s and wanted to make their dinner a little more special by secretly paying for it as a surprise for them. I was veryimpressed by how fast the owner replied to my email and it didn’t stop there. The owner, Jeanine, couldn’t have beensweeter or more helpful! She coordinated with the staff and wrote a lovely card from my husband and I to give to my son anddaughter-in-law at the end of their meal along with a special dessert! My son immediately called and said how delicious thedinner and drinks were, how friendly the staff was and how terrific the atmosphere and seating was. They couldn’t have beenhappier or more surprised. I don’t live in the area, so Jeanine and staff took my place and made their anniversary dinner anight to remember. It is so wonderful and rare to find a business owner who truly cares about their customers’ satisfactionand happiness and not just making a sale. Jeanine & staff went over and above and for that I’m so grateful! If you can’ttell from this review, I HIGHLY recommend Amani’s for a nice night out or for a special occasion. The next time I’m in thearea, a dinner and drinks at Amani’s will definitely be on our to-do list! Read more
I used to LOVE this place. Always had good meals here - but this experience was just awful. While I always expect a lower... quality dish when I through Door Dash due to travel and handling... I was supremely disappointed tonight. This orderlegitimately took Amani's BYOB off my "go-to" restaurant list. I ordered fries with my chicken sandwich, which they decided tonot provide because "it was a mistake that they are included with online order"... what?? The chicken sandwich was supposed tocome with Nashville hot sauce and Gorgonzola cream - both were non-existent... Lastly, the $8.00 pretzel they gave me wassomehow a worse clone of the $0.10 Frozen Super Pretzel coupled with watery mustard (how??). You lost a 8+ year customertonight. Well done. Read more
Took my parents here to celebrate a late Father’s Day. We dined upstairs. Food is good but portions are so small even when... they’re labeled “Entrees”. The entrees are priced around $14-$19 and are more like appetizer portions. We were stillhungry afterward so we got dessert. We got a cookie skillet (not pictured) for dessert and it was very undercooked and mushy.We also got a brownie skillet which contained a very dry brownie. Our party of 4 was still hungry after our diningexperience…. Read more
Amani's has an amazing menu. Always top quality and prepared really well. My pork belly app was so good I could order several... for my entire meal. Only reason I didn't rate 5 is because my fish had bones, which isn't a huge deal, but the chocolate cakedessert was just bad. It looked and tasted old. Everything else was great. Read more
Amani’s never disappoints, incredible every time! This was our first time back since the renovations, the food was just as... good as it’s always been. The updated look feels more modern without losing the classic intimate feel of Amani’s Read more
Great food in Downingtown. Went here with my wife, son and d11yo granddaughter. (Menu is not particularly kid friendly) We tried... three appetizers The Braised Pork Belly, Crispy Point Judith calamari, and the Cheese Plate. The pork belly is great and afairly large portion, it was the winner of the three. The calamari were good but what made the plate was the pickled peppermedley that was included on the plate they were delicious. The cheese plate was good with three nice cheeses, the fennel infusedgoat cheese being the best of them all. The bacon jelly included on the cheese plate was also a winner. The waitress howeverwhen serving the cheese plate did not tell us what the cheeses were and for the matter did not know and had to ask otherpersonnel what they were, after we made the point of asking. I ordered the Seared Duck Breast which was cooked to the correcttemperature and the blood orange sauce was a perfect pairing. My son ordered the Bouillabaisse which he enjoyed but thought thesauces was a little to thick. My wife got the Scampi Style Gulf Shrimp she liked it also. My granddaughter got the SmokedChicken Risotto she thought it was a little light on chicken and heavy on the risotto, but she enjoyed it. For dessert we gotthe Jewish Apple Cake and the Chocolate Ganache Tart to share and both were very good. The restaurant is small and there is nonoise level to interfere with conversation. Service was very good. I look forward to dinning here again. Read more
We went to Amani’s for the first time tonight and loved it! My wife and I both tried the pork special they had and we both... agreed that it was so good! The service was EXCELLENT. We were very impressed. Our server Chris was one of the best serverswe’ve ever had. This is a great local spot right in the heart of the borough of Downingtown. Not too pricey either, I wouldsay the prices are fair for the quality of food you are getting. We will definitely be back and we can’t wait to try more oftheir dishes! We highly recommend. Read more
What a great place. The knowledgeable staff provided perfect service, duck cooked perfect (crispy skin was awesome), mushroom... risotto was delicious, calamari was the best we have ever had. It's a little pricy but high quality and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back. Read more
