Amani's BYOB

Amanis Restaurant is an amazing dining experience for anyone that appreciates great culinary eats and an atmosphere of fine dining.

They serve seasonal foods that are local and real! You can't beat the quality here.
The food is superb and is an example of you paying for what you get in regards to quality.

We came for lunch and got a large variety of foods. The highlight oddly enough was the brisket fries for me! I really liked them. The surf and turf "Kirby Burger" is a thing to remember.

The chef Johnathan is one of Chester County's best cooks in the kitchen and it shows. This is a highest stand of food around! I really like being able to see the chefs cooking while you wait. I love most everything about this restaurant and will be coming back again!

Went here on a date night and it was amazing. We had great service from start to finish. The food was incredibly good. We got an espresso martini to try for our dessert drink and I can say it’s one of the best ones I’ve ever had!! Highly recommend this restaurant!

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 a fairly large portion, it was the winner of the three. The calamari were good but what made the plate was the pickled pepper medley that was included on the plate they were delicious. The cheese plate was good with three nice cheeses, the fennel infused goat cheese being the best of them all. The bacon jelly included on the cheese plate was also a winner. The waitress however when serving the cheese plate did not tell us what the cheeses were and for the matter did not know and had to ask other personnel what they were, after we made the point of asking. I ordered the Seared Duck Breast which was cooked to the correct temperature and the blood orange sauce was a perfect pairing. My son ordered the Bouillabaisse which he enjoyed but thought the sauces was a little to thick. My wife got the Scampi Style Gulf Shrimp she liked it also. My granddaughter got the Smoked Chicken Risotto she thought it was a little light on chicken and heavy on the risotto, but she enjoyed it. For dessert we got the Jewish Apple Cake and the Chocolate Ganache Tart to share and both were very good. The restaurant is small and there is no noise level to interfere with conversation. Service was very good. I look forward to dinning here again.

One of our favorite places to have dinner in the burbs. I would describe the food as upscale comfort food. They change the menu on a regular basis, so there is some good variety. They also have a really good a la cart brunch on the weekends. We usually ask for Rick as our wait staff representative. John is also a very hands on owner/chef!

A small local rather expensive little restaurant. There is a $10 uncorking fee for your BYOB wine. Reservations are needed since such a small place. Unfortunately, my friend's stuffed chicken with prosciutto had very little prosciutto just placed on top but Not stuffed.

Arguably the best food in Downingtown. The quality of the food is outrageous! The care that the chefs put into your meal is astounding. The seasonal menu changes are always jaw-dropping and delicious. Everything always comes cooked perfectly. Even their bar makes insane cocktails. Everything this place does is 5 star. I would eat there every night if I could.

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 servers we’ve ever had. This is a great local spot right in the heart of the borough of Downingtown. Not too pricey either, I would say 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 of their dishes! We highly recommend.

Brian the bartender was super friendly and nice to talk to. The brisket tacos were so good and cheaper than I expected! Overall the staff was very friendly and I'll definitely be back!

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

Amani’s, without a doubt, is the best restaurant in Chester county. We have probably been there 12-15 times at this point, and not only is the food the highest quality, but the execution of every aspect of the meal is exceptional. I can still remember the first time my wife and I came when we were poor college graduate students, and almost 8 years later we still always return. The staff is excellent, the new drinks are incredible, and it’s a great intimate atmosphere. We will always love coming here, so do not hesitate!

This was not my first time at Amani's and surely will not be my last. Their pre fixe menus for holidays are always phenomenal and their daily menu is out of this world as well. You cannot go wrong with any choice here.

So nice to get back to this place! We actually had lunch at Amani's North. The food was outstanding. Those baked oysters are to die for. The fig and goat cheese egg rolls OMG. Gnocchi light and airy and the Dagwood sandwich elevated. Oh, the Bourbon drinks were outstanding, especially the Burnt. Can't wait for the next time.

This is exactly the type of restaurant I've been wanting in my life! The portions for dinner are great and I love how fresh everything is. I'm still drooling over the asparagus from their bruschetta and the blurred lines cocktail. The service was great and everyone was very nice! We will be back.

We had dinner here for the first time last night. We had the best time, amazing service & AMAZING food. The duck was especially delicious. I can’t wait to come back!!

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 very impressed by how fast the owner replied to my email and it didn’t stop there. The owner, Jeanine, couldn’t have been sweeter or more helpful! She coordinated with the staff and wrote a lovely card from my husband and I to give to my son and daughter-in-law at the end of their meal along with a special dessert! My son immediately called and said how delicious the dinner and drinks were, how friendly the staff was and how terrific the atmosphere and seating was. They couldn’t have been happier or more surprised. I don’t live in the area, so Jeanine and staff took my place and made their anniversary dinner a night to remember. It is so wonderful and rare to find a business owner who truly cares about their customers’ satisfaction and happiness and not just making a sale. Jeanine & staff went over and above and for that I’m so grateful! If you can’t tell from this review, I HIGHLY recommend Amani’s for a nice night out or for a special occasion. The next time I’m in the area, a dinner and drinks at Amani’s will definitely be on our to-do list!

Always a great experience. New look is great and same great food. Adding smoked food to the menu is a wonderful addition on these trying times.

Our first time last week and I immediately regretted not trying their food sooner. The bar upstairs and bartender are over the top awesome but the food downstairs is really different and we’ll thought out recipes you will love.

Went with 3 others for my friend's birthday dinner. Everything was fantastic as usual! Key lime pie martini was delicious. Lobster bisque was unexpectedly spicy but still wonderful. Bruschetta, grilled oysters, escargot appetizers all beautifully presented and prepared. Duck breast entree is the best around! Scallops au gratin special was divine! Always delicious, never a bad meal here!

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.
